Frozen Yogurt Machines
Whether you're adding a frozen yogurt machine to an existing operation or opening a new frozen yogurt shop, KaTom has a unit to meet your needs. Utilizing frozen yogurt equipment is an easy way to add revenue to your business by tapping into popular trends.
Commercial Frozen Yogurt Machines: What You Need to Know
If you run a coffeehouse or restaurant in need of extra revenue, own a dedicated yogurt shop, or know of a high-traffic area with potential for a self-contained point-of-sale vending machine, KaTom has the right yogurt machine to help you provide customers with a profitable dessert option. We offer commercial frozen yogurt machines for sale in a range of options to meet the needs of any operation.
Countertop frozen yogurt machines offer an efficient way to garner extra income with space preservation in mind, while standalone froyo machines are suited for high-volume use. Different configurations enable maximum storage capacity, increased portability with casters, or the ability to swirl flavors. Operators may choose to place their units in a kitchen for operation by employees or use them as self-serve frozen yogurt machines at a buffet or pay-by-the-pound setup.
Common Questions About Frozen Yogurt Machines
What sizes are available?
KaTom offers frozen yogurt machines in various sizes. The smallest countertop machines measure around 12 inches wide, 24 inches high, and 24 inches deep, but floor units may be 17 inches wide, 24 inches deep, and 60 inches high. Point-of-sale vending machines are even larger.
What is mix capacity and how much product can be served at a time?
KaTom offers commercial frozen yogurt machines with mix capacities – how much unfrozen product a froyo machine can store – ranging from 7 quarts to 8 gallons. Countertop frozen yogurt machines usually offer less capacity than floor models. For these smaller machines, compressor and dasher horsepower is also often low and freezing capacity is small, limiting how much product is served at a time. Potential buyers should check product spec sheets to determine which yogurt machine meets their volume requirements. Machines designed for low volume can handle two 4-ounce servings per minute, while high-volume floor machines can dispense seven servings of the same size. Both countertop and floor machines come with either one or two product hoppers. Two-hopper yogurt making machines often include three heads, offering a mix of the flavors in the hoppers.
Can frozen yogurt machines serve ice cream?
Yes, frozen yogurt machines are soft-serve machines, which means soft-serve ice cream product is interchangeable with frozen yogurt. Operators may choose to supply both products in the same froyo machine, giving the option for a delicious yogurt and ice cream swirl.
What types of cooling are available?
Frozen yogurt machines are cooled either remotely or with a self-contained system. Remote cooling removes the compressor from the machine and places it in a remote location. This solution is useful for consolidating multiple cooling units into one or removing heat and noise from the customer area. Self-contained models are more affordable, more common than remote systems, and sufficient for most operations.
Most frozen yogurt machines with a self-contained system are air cooled, but water-cooled options are also available. While water-cooled units eliminate heat, noise, and the requirement for clearance space around the froyo machine, increased utility bills usually make them cost-prohibitive unless a recirculation system is installed. Air-cooled units typically require a clearance of 3 to 6 inches from the vent.
Why would I need WiFi on a frozen yogurt machine?
Frozen yogurt machines may come with WiFi or even cellular network capabilities. Operators looking for a way to monitor and diagnose their machines remotely should consider these options. An internet connection also enables cashless transactions in vending machines. Users may also diagnose and service a yogurt machine using a USB port.
Should I choose a point-of-sale vending machine?
Self-serve frozen yogurt machines with self-contained vending capabilities can dispense preset portion sizes and mix in toppings. They accept cash, credit and debit cards, and Near-Field Communication payment methods, with product selections made via touchscreen. These yogurt making machines are ideal for high-traffic locations and can help operators successfully run their shop with fewer employees.
