BlueIce Ice Cream Machine VT28C - Table Top

Self serve soft serve. Coin operated control. Pasteurised operation. Built to cut labour and keep service moving.

The BlueIce VT28C is a self serve soft serve machine designed for unattended dispensing. Customers pay, then serve themselves, which helps reduce labour pressure and keeps queues moving during busy periods.

This model includes pasteurised operation, which supports longer running between full clean downs when you follow the correct cycles and hygiene process. That reduces downtime and makes the machine easier to manage across the month, especially in high traffic sites where you want the unit available as often as possible.

The VT28C uses pump fed operation and controlled dispensing to deliver consistent portions. It suits soft serve ice cream, frozen yoghurt, and sorbet style products, and it supports a simple single flavour menu that keeps decisions quick for customers.

Choose the VT28C when you want a self serve revenue line that runs with less staff input.

Perfect for

The VT28C suits venues where self serve makes sense, such as leisure centres, family attractions, cinemas, arcades, service stations, and high footfall takeout environments. It fits sites where you want to sell more without adding staff hours.

It works well when you want predictable portion control. Coin operated self serve helps standardise the customer experience and reduce the back and forth that can slow down a counter at peak times.

Pasteurised operation suits operators who want to cut downtime. Fewer full clean downs helps keep the machine trading more days of the month, which supports better utilisation and stronger returns.

If you want a single flavour, self serve soft serve machine that reduces labour demand and keeps sales flowing, the VT28C fits that plan.

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
