Slush Machines

Slush machine and slush syrup suppliers by SlushCo and Denby Dale Coffee. We only supply premium slush machines and slush 'puppy' machines with full onsite parts and labour warranty. We do not sell cheap imported slush machines from the far east as in our experience, although they can cost a few hundred pounds less, we believe it's a false economy buying sub standard equipment that have a good chance of breaking after only a few months leaving the buyer struggling to source parts not to mention an engineer who is able to repair said slush machine(s). Ultimately, the buyer learns an expensive lesson and has to then purchase a replacement slush machine.. this is where we come in..

Our slush machines are premium Electro Freeze and thus come with 12 months on site parts and labour warranty*. Please read our warranty conditions at the foot of this page for full details.

It's important to keep your slush machine in a clean and hygienic condition. We have detailed below a guide on how to clean your slush machine, regardless of the manufacturer.

Full clean/sanitising slush machines should be carried out every 2 weeks (or every 500 drinks). Here's a guide of how to do this:

 1. Turn the freeze/refrigeration switch to the off position.
 2. Empty the remaining product.
 3. Fill your slush machine with clean, luke warm water and a mild detergent.
 4. After 10 minutes draw off and discard the water.
 5. Turn the agitator switch to the off position & turn off the main power switch and unplug the slush machine from the socket.
 6. Remove the bowl covers and wipe clean with warm detergent water. Do not immerse in water.
 7. Remove the bowl by gently lifting the front and pulling. 
 8. Once the bowl is free, slide off the plastic spiral agitator from the cooling cylinder.
 9. Remove the large "O" ring at the back of the barrel and soft seal on the drive shaft.
10.With mild detergent and warm water, wipe all the machine surfaces down.
11.Remove the tap assembly by pulling out the locking pin & remove the "O" ring /plunger and/or seal from the draw valve.
12.Wash all parts in warm water with detergent, rinse and allow to air dry.

Re-assembling your slush machine

1. Lubricate the "O" ring, seal and plunger with food safe petroleum grease.
2. Insert the draw valve assembly into the bowl and hold in place with the tap handle & secure the handle with the locking pin.
3. Lubricate the inside of the soft seal and slide it into position on the drive shaft.
4. Position the large "O" ring on the back of the cooling cylinder.
5. Lightly lubricate the silver bush located in the front of the bowl.
6. Lightly lubricate the outside of the silicone seal on the drive shaft.
7. Slide the agitator onto the cooling cylinder
8. Slide the bowl over the agitator and align it with the large "0" ring at the back of the cooling cylinder.
9  Align the agitator with the silver bushing in the front of the bowl by lifting the agitator while sliding the bowl into position.
10.Ensure the bowl is set in position with the slot in the front sides of the bowl's base locked over the machine edge.

** Our slush machines are premium in build and material quality and on average should last 2 or 3 times longer than 'budget' slush machines. We strongly urge you to use a premium slush syrup in our machines. As a business we don't insist you have to purchase our slush syrup, we believe it's an outdated way to conduct business and can only benefit the supplier, not the customer. However, we do recommend that good quality syrups are used to protect your investment. Quite simply this means avoiding using 'cheap' syrups, and there are plenty around - as indeed there are many good quality syrups available. These substandard syrups are easier to identify than you may think. Some companies often demonstrate pride describing themselves as 'cheap' and their products as 'cheap' and whilst we understand that saving a few pounds may be tempting, thus reducing your slush syrup costs from 6p to 5p (per average serving) but considering your margin should be anywhere between 50p - 90p and beyond per slush drink, that penny saving really should be put into perspective. One of the most costly ingredients in slush syrup is sugar and sugar pricing has doubled in recent times. Sugar acts as the antifreeze ensuring the slush syrup, when mixed correctly with water, is frozen to the correct consistancy which ensures the blades, freezing system and motors are not put under any duress. Your warranty will not cover any damage caused by using inferior 'cheap' slush syrup.
