Best Features of Taylor Ice Cream Machines: Your Ultimate Buying Guide

When it comes to serving consistently creamy and delicious ice cream, Taylor® machines stand head-and-shoulders above the rest. Renowned in commercial kitchens and artisanal dessert shops across Canada, Taylor ice cream machines blend industry-leading performance, efficiency, and user-friendliness. But what exactly sets Taylor apart?

In this guide, we'll explore the standout features that make Taylor machines the top choice for restaurants, cafés, and ice cream parlours.

Rapid Freezing & High Capacity

When customer demand peaks, your equipment needs to keep pace. Taylor ice cream machines offer industry-leading rapid freezing technology, quickly turning liquid mixtures into smooth, creamy treats. Models like the Taylor C713 and C723 deliver high-volume output with exceptional consistency, ensuring minimal wait times and increased customer satisfaction.

Precise Overrun and Consistency Controls

Consistency is critical in delivering an exceptional frozen dessert. Taylor ice cream machines, such as the Model 104 Batch Ice Cream Freezer, offer precise overrun control. This customizable feature allows operators to control air incorporation levels, ensuring creamy, smooth textures and enhancing profitability through optimal product yield.

Heat Treatment Technology: Reducing Downtime & Increasing Safety

Taylor’s innovative heat treatment feature significantly reduces downtime by extending cleaning intervals to every 14 days, compared to daily cleaning required by many other machines. This not only saves labour costs but also enhances food safety by ensuring that harmful bacteria are eliminated during the automated heat treatment cycle. The system heats the ice cream mix to a temperature high enough to sterilize internal components, then safely cools it back down to serving temperature. Operators enjoy reduced maintenance, less waste, and peace of mind knowing their equipment adheres to stringent health standards.

Ease of Cleaning and Maintenance

Taylor prioritizes user-friendly maintenance with advanced features like automatic cleaning cycles, simplifying routine upkeep. Models including the freestanding C712 and countertop C707 are designed with fewer parts, allowing quick disassembly and sanitization, significantly reducing downtime.

Quick-access panels and intuitive controls simplify routine maintenance tasks, reducing labour hours and ensuring your machines stay hygienic and operational with minimal effort.

Flexible Placement Options: Countertop vs. Freestanding Models

Whether you have ample space or a compact kitchen, Taylor offers versatile placement options. Countertop soft-serve machines, like the Taylor C152 and C706, are ideal for cafés or smaller establishments looking to maximize limited space without sacrificing quality or output. Conversely, freestanding models such as the Taylor C713 or 791 suit higher-volume venues, providing larger capacities and increased throughput, perfect for busy ice cream parlours, fast-food restaurants, and cafeterias.

Energy-Efficient Design

Taylor machines are engineered for superior energy efficiency. The compact countertop series (Models C152, C161, C709) provides high performance with minimal energy consumption, significantly lowering operational costs and supporting sustainability goals in your foodservice business.

Durability and Reliability

Built for demanding commercial environments, Taylor ice cream machines are renowned for their robust construction. With decades of innovation backing their designs, models like the freestanding C713 and countertop C722 deliver unmatched reliability, ensuring minimal downtime and continuous operation.

Versatile Flavour Options & Innovations

Taylor machines support various flavours and mix-ins, enabling operators to offer exciting menu items. Options such as Flavor Burst systems and Razzle blenders let you create visually appealing and delicious treats by blending candies, fruits, and syrups directly into your frozen desserts. Enhance customer experience, drive sales, and differentiate your menu effortlessly.
