There’s one kind of ice cream that has been getting popular votes: soft serve ice cream. Does it mean that the regular ice cream is hard? To better understand it, we should get to know more the machine which makes this type of ice cream: the soft serve ice cream machine. You can read up and learn more about this machine:

Soft serve is a kind of ice cream, yoghurt, custard and the like which are not hard frozen. To achieve this, there are soft serve machines that add air to the ice cream, adding to its volume up to 45%. If you can add 25% of air to a gallon of ice cream, that makes it 1.25 gallons of ice cream. What makes up for its creamy consistency is the high temperature and air. Because of air, soft serve machines will minimize the use of ingredients.

These machines are indeed so cool, and so there features are. These machines have built in containers that can store, mix, churn, and freeze soft ice cream which it can dispense as well. Some of these machines have LED displays which you can use to set time and monitor the finished product. When this is set, the  soft ice cream machine automatically adapt to whatever mix is used. There is also a low mix indicator that tells you when to refill the mix hopper. Other machines also have an audible signal which will allow you to add another mix.

These soft serve machines have a safety guard that will protect you against any compressor burn out. This mechanism allows the compressor to shut down if you don’t detect the low-mix alarm within few minutes. The compressor then runs in a cycle after every 10 minutes to keep the ice cream cold. Other mechanism includes shooting hot refrigerant gas from the condenser to the barrel to avoid the ice cream from freezing solidly.

You have to choose a soft serve ice cream machine that can hold enough ice cream you need to produce in every setting. These machines’ capacity is usually measured in volumes. The high volume can make up to 7 servings while the medium volume can serve up to 4-5 servings and the low volume can take care of 2-3 servings.

Smaller soft serve machines can consume 115 volts while the larger ones can consume 208-230 volts.

Once the mix has turned into soft ice cream, it is now ready to be served in a cone or bowl. You can use have the soft ice cream with root beer or banana split. You can have any flavor you have for soft ice cream as you walk under the summer heat. Happy eating.
