Using a Slushy Machine Properly



A slushie machine for hire gradually freezes a mixture of water and drink flavour to make a nice smooth and cold drink. If you would like to try to set up a slush machine for your next party, it would be helpful to know the basic procedures of operating it.

1. Plug the slush machine into a dedicated 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. Don't use an extension cord because this can cause a surge that could damage the slushy machine.

2. Pour the drink mix and water into the five-gallon bucket. If you are following a drink recipe, be sure that you go with the indicated water and juice mix ratio, as you'll be mixing a larger quantity of the drink. In such case, the water will take the place of 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 the mixture. When it starts to be cloudy, the ice is already forming. This gives you the idea that it is almost ready. 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 a new batch of drink, just follow the instructions explained 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 Make sure that the augers are on also.

For Night Time:

o Leave the power and augers on, except in places where it gets cool during night time. Keep augers on at all times, unless the slush machine is off.
o Make sure that you switch the freeze more off and 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 like to change flavours, run warm water (not hot water) through the slushy machine and out the front spout. Then pour in your new flavour.
