What is a slushy machine? You may have heard this type of machine by other names, such as a slush machine, a slushie machine or a granita machine. Whichever name you prefer, one thing is certain: slushy machine are specialist blenders designed specifically for making slush, smoothies, frappes and other frozen drinks that are popular with customers. They use a highly efficient motor and unique blending blades to blend water-sugar mixes, fruit juices, cocktails or powdered drink mixtures and freeze them well into slushy or smoothies for customers to drink.
The slush machine is very easy to operate, it usually uses water to make smoothies from scratch, which means you don't need to prepare ice for some sweet treats, you just need to add a concentrated liquid or powdered drink mix to the container to produce smoothies. If you want a different colour slushie, you can also add a few drops of food colouring to it to suit your purpose.
There are many types of slush machines. slushy, or granita machines are very versatile and specialize in making large quantities of slush, tea, frozen coffee, cappuccino, frozen lemonade, smoothies, milkshakes, alcoholic drinks and other frozen beverages. If you run an upmarket resort, frozen mochas and cocktails are sure to be crowd favourites. If your business is more family and youth-centric, frozen lemonade, smoothies and other frozen treats will score high marks with your guests.
This type of machine its required to fill manually by pouring a liquid product mixture into a tank of water, or brewing in a cylinder to make more frozen drinks. It is usually easy to operate and less expensive than other types of machine. As there is no automatic filling system, this means fewer moving parts and the cost of troubleshooting will be reduced. However, it has to have employees to make the mixture and the labour costs are higher. Because the slurry must be used in its entirety before it can be re-brewed and then wait another 10-15 minutes, some customers may be lost during this time.
2. Liquid auto-fill type
The liquid auto-fill granita machine features a reservoir to hold the liquid product mixture and automatically refills the main bowl when needed. This model allows drinks to be mixed automatically, thus saving a lot of staff labour while ensuring a more consistent product. The disadvantage, however, is that it requires an external pump to supply the water.
3.Powder automatic filling type
Powder auto-fill slushy machines also have a reservoir for the powdered product mixture and automatically combine the mixture with water inside the machine to save refilling time. It has similar advantages and disadvantages to the liquid automatic filling type.
The frozen cocktail machine is specifically designed to take into account the effect of alcohol on the temperature and viscosity of the final product. Ensuring a more consistent product than hand-stirred frozen cocktails, it is also ideal for bars and resorts.
Table-top slurry machines are placed on the countertop, mostly with the characteristics of small size, small space occupation and small capacity, so the table-top models are more suitable for small businesses or family use. The purchase price is relatively cheap.
2. Freestanding
Freestanding slurpee machines are more often placed on the ground and are usually larger, take up more space and have a larger capacity. This type of machine is best suited to large volume operations or some large events. They are also generally more expensive than counter-top machines.
A single bowl, as the name suggests, is only one bowl and can only produce one flavour. leevot slushy machines are equipped with a large 12L/25lb bowl for large batches. Removable bowl -Clear bowl marked with maximum and minimum liquid level. Adjustable thermostat allows the operator to operate the unit in either frozen or chilled beverage mode. The freezing function maintains a safe temperature for the product even when not in use for long periods of time. The sturdy handle with spring-operated dispensing handle closes automatically for easy self-service use. The machine also has a light mode which provides you with illumination when you need it and also attracts some customers.
2. Two cylinders
With two cylinders, each of which can be operated separately, this means you can produce two flavours of smoothie. It can also produce smoothies on one side and cool drinks on the other.The leevot 2-cylinder slushy machine has two 12L bowls to make 24L/50lb of frozen drinks or smoothies. Each bowl is independently controlled - yes, that's what you've heard. If you have our 2 bowl ramp maker and one of the bowls sells out, you can turn it off and the other bowl will still work just fine! Having removable trays for cups and other drink serving utensils keeps the space neat and clean and is easy to clean.
3. Three cylinders
Three bowls, each holding 12L of solution, making a total of 36L/75lbs of frozen slurry. Each bowl is independently controlled to make one to three flavours, and when the slurry in one bowl is used up, the others can continue to operate. Different hardness settings are available to meet the hardness needs of different people. There is also a removable tray and top cover for easy cleaning of your machine at regular intervals.

4. Four cylinders
4*12L cylinder capacity, 48L/100lbs in total. Each bowl can run from one to four flavours and is suitable for some large event venues and restaurants.The entire design of the leevot frozen beverage machine focuses on accessibility and the fully computerised control system it uses makes it very simple and easy to use. Two common functions can be used to talk smoothly and it can not only make fine ice chips but also frozen drinks. By pouring in water and coloured syrup, it is easy to create a bubble-free drink or smoothie. The bowl is equipped with two blades that can be blended at 360°, making it possible to mix a perfectly authentic mixture for you and your customers to enjoy. The machine can be ventilated on three sides, which helps the heat to escape and prolongs the running time.
While traditional smoothies are made from a mixture of water, ice and sweeteners, with a slush machine you simply add a mixture of water and coloured syrup, turn on the freezing mode and wait 10-15 minutes before serving your customers a smoothie. It is very important to get the ratio of water to sugar right. More sugar means slower freezing times, but if there isn't enough sugar, it will result in rougher drinks and larger ice crystals, which can freeze your machine. Get the water to sugar ratio right to keep your machine running properly and your drinks tasting better.
Slush machines can also provide frozen carbonated drinks. Add as many carbonated drinks as you want to the machine, for example, Sprite, Coke, soda, etc. You can put water, carbon dioxide and flavoured syrup into the bowl and run it through the freezing mode to cool it down to below freezing temperature. Alternatively, you can simply pour the bottled carbonated drink into the bowl, it doesn't need any more water or syrup as it is already blended, so you can simply turn on the freeze mode and wait for it to freeze to a slushy consistency.
Frozen non-carbonated drinks or FUB drinks are a great way to offer something different to your customers. They are made by combining flavoured syrups with other ingredients such as ginger ale or lemonade and then freezing them. The result is a refreshing and tasty drink that is perfect for hot summer days.FUB drinks offer a unique texture and flavour as they are not as cold or slushy as FCB, but still offer a refreshing coolness and sweetness. Frozen no-carb drinks come in a variety of flavours, including strawberry, orange and peach.
Some machines are equipped to handle alcoholic products. However, you need to read up on your local food service laws as some areas do not allow alcohol in the machine. Also alcohol slows down the freezing speed and lengthens the freezing time, so you may produce fewer smoothies per hour if alcohol is added to the slushy machine. It is also important to check the manufacturer's user manual to ensure that there are no special maintenance requirements or procedures for the frozen cocktails in the machine.
If you want to serve frozen cocktails to your customers but don't want to put alcohol in the machine, there are other options available to you. Simply mix up a neutral base granita and when you draw the drink from the tank, add any flavoured white wine your customers want and mix well with a stirring stick. This approach also allows you to offer different flavoured cocktails, rather than limiting yourself to one specific drink per tank of granita.
Certain machines are certified to offer dairy-based products such as blended milkshakes, smoothies. Serving dairy-based frozen drinks requires more routine cleaning of your equipment. You should empty the bowl of leftovers daily and clean and sanitise the inside and outside of the machine to prevent the growth of bacteria that could affect the food safety of your customers. A machine must be approved to use dairy-based ingredients, so check your user manual to confirm that your machine is qualified to serve dairy-based cold beverages.
Whether your food truck specializes in smoothies and frozen drinks or your restaurant's menu needs more exciting dessert and beverage options, installing a slush machine in your kitchen can make all the difference.
