TAYLOR SOFT ICE CREAM MACHINE 2+1 FLAVOURS

A Taylor 161 gravity-fed soft ice cream machine in 2+1 twisted flavours, with 2 x 1.4-litre freezing cylinders, 2 x 7.6-litre hoppers and viscosity refrigeration control, at 2.1 kW on 230 V, 535 x 655 x 746 mm and 138 kg. Viscosity control freezes to product thickness rather than a fixed time, so the serve stays consistent as the hopper empties.

Who it suits

For cafés, restaurants and dessert kiosks adding soft serve on single-phase power in a compact footprint. It is a moderate-volume machine; high-throughput sites should look at the pump-fed Taylor C722.

Common questions

Gravity-fed or pump-fed soft serve?
Gravity-fed machines let mix fall into the freezing cylinder under its own weight. They are simpler, with fewer parts to clean each night, but give lower overrun. Pump-fed machines force air into the mix for higher overrun, which means lighter product and more servings per litre, at the cost of more cleaning. Choose pump-fed for volume and gravity for simplicity.

What is viscosity control?
It freezes to product thickness rather than a set time, keeping the serve consistent.

Does it need three-phase?
No, 230 V single phase at 2.1 kW.

How much mix does it hold?
7.6 litres per hopper.

Is it for high volume?
Moderate volume. The pump-fed Taylor C722 suits heavier demand.
