About our machines

Which ice machine is best for a café or restaurant?

An ice cube machine is usually the best choice for cafés, tea shops and restaurants because it automatically produces clear, uniform, hygienic ice for drinks.

Is cube ice safe to eat?

Yes. When made from treated water in a machine with stainless-steel food-contact parts that is cleaned regularly, cube ice is safe drinking ice.

What can I make with a popsicle machine?

A popsicle machine makes ice pops on sticks from almost any liquid mix — fruit juice, flavoured syrup, milk, coconut milk or yoghurt.

Is a popsicle machine good for starting a small business?

Yes. A popsicle machine lets a small producer make consistent batches every day from simple ingredients, which makes it a popular way to start a dessert or snack business in Myanmar.

What is the difference between soft-serve and hard ice-cream machines?

A soft-serve machine freezes and dispenses ice cream on demand straight into cones or cups. A hard ice-cream (batch) machine makes ice cream that is then stored in a freezer and scooped to serve.
