BlueIce Ice Cream Machine T5A - Table Top

Compact size. Bigger performance. Built in pasteurisation. A single flavour countertop machine for operators who want higher output and easier holding.

The BlueIce T5A takes the compact countertop format and adds features that suit faster service and tighter routines. It remains a single flavour machine, then focuses on stronger throughput and easier day to day management for busy counters.

A key difference is pasteurisation. The machine heat treats the product so it can stay fresh in the machine for longer, which reduces how often you need a full strip down clean when you run the correct cycles and hygiene process. That can cut downtime and help you keep the machine trading through the week.

The T5A targets higher demand than the basic compact tier. It supports a faster serving pace, which helps when you sell soft serve in clear peak windows and you need to protect queue times.

Choose the T5A when you want compact dimensions, stronger output, and the operational benefit of pasteurisation.

Perfect for

The T5A suits busy cafés, dessert counters, leisure venues, and hospitality sites that want a single flavour soft serve offer but need more pace at peak times. It fits counters where you do not have space for a larger unit, but you still expect consistent demand.

It works well when labour efficiency matters. Pasteurisation can reduce the frequency of full cleans and help you plan maintenance around quieter periods, as long as your team follows the right process and stays consistent.

This model also suits businesses that want to reduce waste and keep quality stable. When you can hold product safely for longer, you avoid unnecessary drain downs and you keep service ready for the next rush.

If you want a compact machine that supports higher volume and more structured hygiene routines, the T5A is the stronger fit.

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
