Soft Serve Ice Cream Machines

Large buffets generally opt for a soft-serve machine with three wands. The traditional combination of flavors is vanilla, chocolate and twist; although twist is not technically another flavor. The dasher just combines equal portions of the two other flavors to give customers the best of both worlds. One or two flavor models are also available for establishments that prefer that setup.

Regardless of the number of wands, you will want to consider the cooling system for each machine. They can be either air- or water-cooled. Air-cooled machines draw hot air off the compressor using a fan. Water-cooled models have a water line running against the compressor that absorbs the heat produced. Water-cooled models do waste a lot of water, so you will want to consider local water restrictions before making a decision.
