2. Secondly, the sales volume is estimated. Based on experience and calculations, the number of cups sold per day is estimated, so that it can be determined whether it is a vertical or a desktop machine. Generally, if the daily sales volume is less than 2,000 copies, you can consider choosing a desktop computer to meet the requirements. The output of the general desktop computer can reach 200-500 copies/hour, which can achieve the highest cost performance; others can consider choosing a vertical machine.
3. Finally, according to the characteristics of the product, you can choose the pump or self-flow type. If it is a single flavor, such as yogurt and chocolate, you can consider the self-flow type machine is more suitable. Others consider the taste and cost, and you can choose the pump machine.
4. In addition, for comprehensive considerations such as hygiene and safety, efficiency improvement, manpower saving and management convenience, consider choosing a pasteurization machine.
5. Buy famousbrand machines from reliable factories, so that there are fewer problems in the production process, good continuous stability, longer service life, and better taste.

Now let’s check the working principle of ice cream vending machine from New Saier:

First, the raw materials are added to the raw material tank, and then the raw materials and air are uniformly mixed and sent to the freezing cylinder under the action of the air slurry pump, and the expanded milk slurry is stirred and gradually cooled. The viscosity of the freezing cylinder increases. When it reaches the required viscosity, it is pushed to the outlet by the screw auger, the outlet is opened, and the machine extrudes the finished ice cream.

The raw materials of ice cream: 

1. Ice cream powder

It is the most widely used and most common ingredient for ice cream. Ice cream powder is usually mixed with water in a certain ratio. Since the aging process is usually not required, it is convenient to use, easy to transport and store. However, care should be taken to avoid secondary pollution during the mixing process.

2. Fresh milk sauce

Generally, the shelf life is about one week, and the production and transportation links are deleted. The guarantee period for guests is approximately 4 days. However, due to different brands, different processing methods, and different shelf life. At the same time, you need to keep the refrigerator to make the mixture taste better.

3. Fresh milk

It adopts aseptic packaging and does not require refrigeration, which is convenient for storage and transportation.

4. Ice cream ice cream powder

Different flavors of hard ice cream powder: milk flavor, vanilla flavor, chocolate flavor, strawberry flavor, pineapple flavor, cantaloupe flavor, toon flavor, mango flavor, peach flavor, lemon flavor, green apple flavor.
