Using a Slushy Machine Properly

Saturday, August 17, 2013



A slushie machine for hire slowly freezes a mix of certain juice flavour and water to make a nice smooth and refreshing drink. If you one like to use one for your next party, it would be very helpful to know the basic steps on how to operate it.

1. Plug the slushy machine into a reliable circuit. A basic power outline will certainly work just fine.But you need to be sure that there are no other electrical devices plugged into it. Avoid using an extension cord, as this could cause a surge which can damage the slush machine.

2. Pour the drink mix and water into the five-gallon bucket. If you are referring to a drink recipe, see to it that you stick with the indicated ratio of water and juice mix, as you will be mixing a larger quantity of the drink. In this case, the water will take the place of your ice. See to it that the quantity of your mixture is 4 gallons for non-alcoholic drink, and 5 gallons for alcoholic.

3. Remove the lid of the slush machine and pour in the mixture into the hopper located inside of the machine. Once you've poured the mixture in the hopper, put the lid back and turn on the machine.

4. Observe your mixture through the window in front of the machine. When it begins to be cloudy, the ice is already forming. This gives you the idea that the drink is almost ready to serve. When you see the cloudy consistency, wait for around 20 to 30 minutes to make sure that the mixture is fully ready.

5. When the slushy machine runs out of drink, turn it off and add more of the mixture. To make another batch of drink, just do the procedure stated above.

For Daytime:

o See to it that the slushie machine is on freeze mode and the night mode is switched off.
o Be sure that the power switch of the machine is on.
o Also, make sure that the augers are turned on.

For Night Time:

o Leave the power and augers on, except in places where it gets cool during night time. Keep the augers on all the time, unless the machine is turned off.
o Be sure that you turn the freeze mode off and set the night mode on.

More Tips on How to Use a Slushy Machine:

o Keep in mind that the drink freezes faster if your concentrate mix or the water is chilled.
o If you will change flavours, run warm water, not hot, through the slushy machine and then out the front spout. And just pour in your new flavour.
