BlueIce Ice Cream Machine T5 - Table Top

Compact. Simple. Reliable. A single flavour countertop soft serve machine that helps you start selling quickly, without taking over your counter.

The BlueIce T5 gives you an easy way to add soft serve, frozen yoghurt, or sorbet to your menu in a small countertop footprint. It suits operators who want a straightforward workflow, consistent results, and service that stays fast during busy moments.

This model focuses on stable product texture. The control system regulates freezing based on viscosity, so your serve stays consistent from the first portion to the last. Staff learn it fast. That helps when different people run the machine across different shifts.

The T5 fits sites that need a dependable single flavour offer, with output aimed at steady day to day trade. It keeps the menu simple at the point of sale and lets you build variety through cones, cups, sauces, toppings, and seasonal specials.

If you want to launch soft serve with minimal complexity, the T5 gives you a clean, practical starting point.

Perfect for

The T5 suits cafés, takeaways, pubs, restaurants, and smaller leisure sites that want to add soft serve without dedicating floor space. It also works well for kiosks and seasonal setups where counter space matters.

It fits businesses that want one core flavour that sells all day. You keep decisions simple for customers, then increase spend through upgrades like waffle cones, toppings, and combo desserts.

This machine also suits teams that value an easy routine. The single flavour format reduces training time and helps you maintain consistent portions and product quality even when staff rotate.

If you want a compact, entry level soft serve machine that supports steady sales and simple operation, the T5 fits the job.

Questions we are often asked:

How long does it take to get the first batch ready.

Many commercial slush machines reach serving consistency in about 60 to 120 minutes, depending on the mix, fill level, and room temperature. Higher powered machines and a colder starting mix can reduce that time.

What power supply do I need.

Many commercial slush machines run from a standard UK 13A socket using a normal three pin plug. Check the model spec and avoid extension leads where possible

Do you need ventilation space around the machine

Yes, you should leave clearance so the unit can shed heat and avoid overheating. Some suppliers specify minimum ventilation gaps, so follow the installation guidance for your exact model

What mix should I use

Use a slush syrup or premix designed for slush machines and follow the stated water to concentrate ratio. Incorrect ratios can stop the product freezing properly or create poor texture

Why is my slush coming out too runny or too icy

Sugar level matters, since low sugar can freeze into large crystals and high sugar can extend freeze time. Many manufacturers refer to measuring and adjusting brix or mix ratio to correct consistency

Can I put alcohol in a slush machine

Yes, but you need to keep alcohol content low enough for the mix to freeze. Many frozen drink guides recommend roughly 5 to 10 percent ABV for reliable freezing

Can I use fizzy drinks in a slush machine

Some machines can handle carbonated drinks, but you should check the manufacturer guidance for your model first. Carbonation and foaming can affect results and cleaning needs

How often should I clean and sanitise my slush machine

Many operators clean weekly to prevent residue build up, then do a deeper internal clean around monthly. Follow your manual and local food hygiene procedures, especially for taps and nozzles

Do you need to use chill mode before freeze mode

Some machines and suppliers recommend a period in chill mode before switching to freeze to help avoid over freezing and protect consistency. Follow the operating guidance for your exact unit and product

Are slush ice drinks suitable for young children

Some slush drinks use glycerol, also called E422, to create the slush effect with less sugar. UK food safety guidance warns they are not suitable for children under 4, and suggests businesses minimise glycerol to what is technically necessary
