The best ice cream blender machines for commercial and home use

Ice cream is a common dessert, and mixing is the core of the current ice cream production process, and the selection of ice cream mixer is related to the product texture, taste and production efficiency. In this paper, we will conduct a list comparison on the mainstream ice cream mixers on the market, including commercial and household mixers, to provide users with some reference.

Performance Indicators of Commercial Ice Cream Mixer: Classification of Equipment

Commercial ice cream mixers must meet the requirements of high efficiency and mass production, so their performance indicators and equipment structure are quite different from household models.

1.1 Key Performance indicators:

The freezing capacity is the most core index of commercial ice cream mixers, which directly determines the freezing speed and cooling speed of the ice cream. Typically expressed in terms of compressor power or freezing capacity (BTU/hr), the capacities of refrigeration shorteners the production cycle and guarantees the texture of the ice cream.

Mixing temperature: Mixing temperature affects the degree of ice cream emulsification and cream tissue formation. The mixing paddles of commercial machines are usually variable speed, meaning that for different stages of mixing, the speed can be adjusted for the best emulsification and churning.

Production capacity: how much ice cream can be produced within a specified period. Commercial users must select an equipment to match the day or week production needs based on their expectations.

Easier service : There is a lot of use on commercial ice cream mixers, and maintenance is very important. The ease of the cleaning is essential as well as ensuring after-sale service.

1.2 Device Classification:

Soft Serve Ice Cream Machine: mainly used to make soft serve ice cream, features high output and continuous discharge, is suitable for catering outlets and ice cream stores. Soft serve ice cream machines are divided into single cylinder and multi-cylinder two, multi-cylinder machine can produce a variety of flavors simultaneously.

Hard Ice Cream Machine: It is a machine used for making hard ice cream which has a dense consistency and richer flavor than soft serve ice cream. Most commercial hard ice cream machines have mixing paddles and refrigeration systems, so that freezing and mixing times, works in synergy to reach a perfect hardness of ice cream.

The batch ice cream machine is a widely used ice cream mixer, which can produce a large amount of soft and hard ice cream, and is suitable for small ice cream shops and small-scale artisan ice cream enterprises with flexible production capacity.

Continuous ice cream machine (Continuous Freezer) : It is used for large-scale industrial production, with a high degree of automation and a high yield, suitable for large ice cream factories.

[Half-truth: Home ice cream mixer: purchase points and type analysis]

In general, the major features of home ice cream mixer are compact size, easy to use, suitable for personal or family.

2.1 Purchase points:

Home ice cream mixer is mainly divided into two types: pre-cooling, compression refrigeration method. Pre-cooling type: the freezer bucket needs to be frozen in the refrigerator in advance, the operation is more complex; Leiden type: automatic compression model, no need for pre-cooling, more convenient, but the price is relatively higher.

Capacity size: Select the appropriate capacity according to the it of each family member and use. In general, 1-1.5L capacity is sufficient for ordinary family use.

Operating power: An easy-operating interface and easily cleaned components are key indicators for domestic ice cream mixers.

Noise level: Certain household ice cream mixers will make a great deal of noise upon running. When buying, you should pay special attention to the noise level so as to avoid affecting the use experience.

2.2 Type Analysis:

Pre-cooled ice cream machine: the price is relatively low, for the consumption of limited funds consumers. But, it must be placed in the refrigerator beforehand and frozen for a long time.

Without compression model ice cream machine: it has the advantages of no pre-cooling, and can be used on demand, but the price is higher, and the volume is relatively large.

Hand-crank ice cream maker: As you read the name, crank the handle to mix it up; for consumers chasing handmade fun. But it takes more physical effort and is less efficient.

Third, the state of the market and the trend of future development

Currently, the ice cream mixer market is very competitive, domestic and foreign brands have launched a variety of models, to meet the different users of the demand.

3.1 Market status:

Commercial field: Because big brands, such as Carpigiani (Princess), Taylor, Electro Freeze, etc., have a technical, quality, after-sale service advantage.

I come from a home appliance product experience background: The home market has a lot of major brands, strong competition, and emerging new brands such as Ninja, KitchenAid, Cuisinart, etc. are competitive in terms of functionality, design and cost performance.

3.2 Future development trend:

Intelligent: With the application of sensors and control systems, ice cream mixers will be more and more intelligent, which can realize the integration of mixing and freezing of the ingredients, improve production efficiency and product quality.

Energy Saving And Environmental Protection: Energy saving and environmental protection is the future development trend of ice cream mixer, ice cream mixer will use more efficient refrigeration technology and environmentally friendly materials to reduce energy consumption And environmental pollution.

Personalized customization: To satisfy consumers' desire for personalized flavors, ice cream mixers will focus on customization functions, enabling users to modulate recipes and parameters at their own will.

Iv. Summary and Suggestions

Selecting the proper ice cream mixer is not merely a matter of production needs, budget requirements, and equipment performance. Commercial users should focus on the refrigeration capacity, production efficiency and the convenience of equipment maintenance; home users should emphasize simple operation, small size and noise level. As technology continues to evolve, ice cream mixers will become more intelligent, energy saving and environmentally friendly, providing users with a more convenient and efficient production experience. Users are urged to pick up a purchase, once they understand the market information, compare different brands and models of products, appropriate to their own needs to select their own equipment. Lastly, attention to the after-sales service and technical support are also an important factor to ensure that the equipment can run smoothly.
