Choosing a Vollrath Frozen Drink Machine
Vollrath frozen drink machines are used to make a variety of beverages, including slushies for kids and margaritas for adults. Because these popular thirst-quenchers can be easy and inexpensive to prepare, adding them to your restaurant, bar, or convenience store will provide guests with refreshing options while increasing your profits. However, it's important to choose reliable equipment to prevent product from being wasted and employees from being slowed down by a faulty or confusing machine.
Vollrath is proud to offer user-friendly frozen beverage granita machines, which are designed for front- or back-of-house use, require little maintenance, and come with different capacities to suit your needs.

No matter the equipment's capacity, the bowls on each dispenser are clear, giving customers and employees alike an unobstructed view of product as it is thoroughly mixed. With consistency control in granita mode, product in these machines is mixed to a particular density rather than temperature, providing more consistent results. Alternatively, users can set the machine to frozen-beverage mode to control product temperature.
Bars and restaurants serving alcoholic beverages like margaritas or piña coladas are able to add the alcohol directly to the hoppers on these units, which makes preparing the drinks a simple task for employees. To expand beverage options, dairy-based beverage ingredients can also be safely used in these machines. Built-in bowl lights with on/off switch controls enable these Vollrath frozen drink machines to act as effective merchandisers in front-of-house settings. For further flexibility, the controls are intuitive, and drinks are dispensed with simple pull-down levers.
Unlike other frozen drink machines, the models in this series have gasket-free spigots. This feature cuts down on maintenance requirements and costs, since there is no seal to clean, replace, or maintain. Because the bowls are independently controlled, operators can produce different products simultaneously from the same machine. For quick freeze down, these machines feature large compressors, and they're built with magnetic drive systems for enhanced durability and ease of maintenance.
To blend with any menu or theme, many different flavors of slushie syrup are available for these units. Operators may also want to stock disposable cups, straws, and lids to simplify serving, and napkins and dispensers for customer convenience.
These countertop models include a NEMA 5-20P plug and 61⁄2-foot cord. They require 6 inches of clearance on all sides and are designed for operation in ambient temperatures of 89 degrees Fahrenheit or lower.
