Health care for ice machines: how to look after your appliances properly!

Your ice cream maker: how to keep it fit and save money! ❄️

You've probably been there: in the middle of the season, the ice cream machine suddenly goes on strike. "But it's been running for years without any problems!" you might think to yourself.

Just like your car, your ice machine needs regular maintenance to keep it running efficiently for a long time and avoid expensive repairs.

Cleaning is the be-all and end-all

Daily cleaning of your ice cream maker is the most important step to ensure hygiene and longevity. It is best to refer to the operating instructions for your machine.

Our tip: Use food-safe original silicone-based special grease to lubricate rubber parts. Vaseline can freeze at sub-zero temperatures and damage your machine.

Check seals regularly

Check all rubber seals every time you clean - but at least every three months - and replace broken seals immediately. Leaking seals can cause damage to the motors.

Ice machines: Keep an eye on scrapers

The scrapers on the agitator of your ice cream machine are particularly hard-wearing and need to be replaced regularly. Worn scrapers impair the performance of the machine, increase energy consumption and can even damage the freezing cylinder.

Soft ice cream machines: Checking gears and agitators

The gear wheels in the pumps and the agitators are the most important wearing parts in soft ice cream machines. Make sure that the gears are tight and that the agitators run without play in the freezing cylinder.

When is a complete overhaul necessary?

If you look after your ice machine regularly, a complete overhaul is usually only necessary every 5 to 8 years. During an overhaul, all parts of your machine are thoroughly checked and repaired if necessary.

Winter overhaul: Use the winter break for a complete overhaul of your ice machine. We will collect your machine, get it ready for the next season and deliver it back to you in time for the start of the season.

Conclusion:

With the right care, you can ensure that your ice cream maker runs reliably for a long time and save yourself expensive repairs. So you can concentrate fully on making delicious ice cream! ??
