NOTES AND FUNCTIONS OF YOUR MACHINE
Product is poured into the refrigerated hopper (product should be
below 41°F) where it is kept until flowing into the freezing cylinder via
the air tube.
On the front of your machine is an digital control to regulate and
maintain consistent product quality for each flavor as an analog rocker
switch to power the board on or off.
Inside the freezing cylinder, the beater mixes the product while freezing
and produces a soft serve product.
The machine you have purchased is an air pump soft serve machine.
It is capable of producing a variety of products that include: Soft Serve
Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream, select custard products, and sorbets.
•Air pump (or pressurized) soft serve machines use pressure to add a higher, controlled
percentage of air to the product mix and maintain pressure in the freezing cylinder so that the
air does not escape. Air pump machines are ideal for customers looking for higher profits,
creamier product, or anyone serving cones.
