Frequently Asked Questions
What machine do I need to make gelato in a restaurant kitchen?
Most restaurants use a compact batch freezer, which churns small, fresh batches of gelato, sorbet and frozen desserts on demand. For a recommendation suited to your menu and kitchen, contact your nearest Majors Group specialist on 1800 625 677 or request a quote.
What is the difference between a gelato batch freezer and an ice cream machine?
A batch freezer churns denser, lower-overrun gelato in fixed batches, while soft serve and continuous machines work differently. Our specialists can explain which suits your service and arrange a demonstration; call 1800 625 677.
How long does it take to make a batch of gelato?
A batch typically freezes in around 5 to 10 minutes depending on the recipe and machine, with the next batch starting soon after. For exact cycle times on a specific model, speak with a Majors Group specialist.
How much space and power does a commercial gelato machine need?
Compact restaurant models are designed for tight kitchens, and power and cooling (air or water) requirements vary by model. Our team can assess your site and confirm the right configuration; contact us via 1800 625 677.
How much does a commercial gelato machine cost in Australia?
Pricing is provided on application as it depends on the model and configuration, and finance options are available. Request a quote through our contact page or call 1800 625 677 to discuss with a specialist.
