BlueIce Ice Cream Machine T5B - Table Top

Compact. High output. Heat treatment built in. A single flavour countertop machine that supports cleaner routines and steadier trading.

The BlueIce T5B is designed for operators who want simple service but also want a more practical hygiene routine than a basic countertop model. It keeps a single flavour format and a compact footprint, then adds heat treatment to support longer running between full clean downs when used correctly.

Heat treatment helps reduce cleaning frequency, which can cut downtime and make the machine easier to manage across a busy week. That matters when you rely on soft serve sales and you cannot afford to take the machine out of service too often.

The T5B also targets strong throughput for a countertop single flavour machine. It suits venues that see repeated bursts of demand and need quick portions without slowing the line.

Pick the T5B when you want compact size, strong serving pace, and heat treatment support for a more manageable routine.

Perfect for

The T5B suits cafés, takeaways, dessert bars, pubs, and smaller leisure venues that want a single flavour soft serve offer but need higher output than entry level machines. It fits sites where speed and cleanliness both matter.

It is a strong choice when you run long opening hours. Heat treatment supports longer running between full clean downs, which helps reduce disruption and keeps the machine available for customers more often.

This model also suits teams that prefer a simple workflow. The single flavour format keeps training easy, helps reduce service errors, and supports consistent portions through the day.

If you want a compact machine that balances pace with a more practical hygiene routine, the T5B fits that requirement.

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
