HARD OPERATING METRICS

Four Numbers That Decide a Snowflake Ice Site's Profitability

No slogans. All four figures can be checked one by one against the factory configuration list and the test report.

Cups on board

A high-capacity automatic cup dispenser — front-door reload, no tools needed.

Seconds a cup

Covers the full cycle: shaving the frozen block, two jam lines and the topping finish.

Litres of base mix

Twin cylinder 24 L, single cylinder 12 L. 1 litre of base yields 12–15 cups on the twin, 6–8 on the single.

2,500

W of commercial cooling

A high-efficiency commercial compressor freezes fast (500 W standby), so the cold never breaks between cups.

THE CABINET

Two Cabinets, One Body: Single Cylinder or Twin

Same cabinet, same 70-cup magazine and the same 30-second cycle — the only difference is one cylinder with 12 L or two with 24 L. Pick the tab to compare.

SINGLE CYLINDER CT-BS310

CT-BS310 · Single cylinder, 12 L

US$4,580EXW

Machine size: 880 × 1,050 × 2,050 mm
Footprint: 0.85 m²
Base: 12 L, 1 base · 1 L → 6–8 cups
Capacity: 70 cups
Power: 500 W standby / 2,500 W running, 10 A
Crate: 102 × 119 × 200 cm
Crate volume · chargeable: 2.43 CBM · 405 kg

One cylinder, one flavour, lowest entry cost. The cabinet is 4 cm narrower and 3 cm shorter than the twin, so it slips into a tighter alcove.

TWIN CYLINDER CT-BS312

CT-BS312 · Twin cylinder, 24 L

US$4,880EXW

Machine size: 840 × 1,020 × 2,020 mm
Footprint: 0.86 m²
Base: 24 L, 2 bases · 1 L → 12–15 cups
Capacity: 70 cups
Power: 500 W standby / 2,500 W running, 10 A
Crate: 98 × 116 × 200 cm
Crate volume · chargeable: 2.27 CBM · 379 kg

Two independently controlled cylinders: a classic milk base on one side, a fruit base on the other, single flavour or a two-tone swirl. Twice the base means no mid-shift refill on a weekend peak.

Flavour grid Two bases, two jams and two toppings — mixed on screen, all from stock you buy locally.

Colours are indicative. Jam and topping flavours are whatever your local supplier carries.

HOW IT MAKES ICE

Four Parts That Separate This From an Ice Cream Machine

Snowflake ice is shaved from a block, not extruded from a mix. Every difference below follows from that one fact.

THE BLADE

Shaved, not crushed

A blade runs across a frozen block and lifts flat sheets off it. Crushed ice turns into slush in the cup; shaved sheets hold their shape until the spoon goes in.

Sheet, not flake
Texture holds in the cup
Quiet enough for a lobby

HYGIENE

UV lamp and intelligent holding

The cabinet runs a UV lamp between cycles and holds the block at a set temperature rather than on a timer. Both matter in a mall that inspects food counters.

UV sterilisation inside the cabinet
Temperature holding, not a timer
Waste tray pulls out for cleaning

POWER

2,500 W running, 500 W idle

A compressor that has to hold −18 °C draws real current. Plan the circuit before you sign the lease — this is the one spec that fails installs.

Dedicated 10 A circuit
500 W idle between sales
220–240 V as standard

STOCK

70 cups, 24 L, no proprietary pods

Base mix, jam and toppings are all standard food products you can buy in your own market. Nothing is locked to a factory cartridge, which is what keeps the per-cup cost under your control.

24 L base tank
Jam and topping sourced locally
Cups are standard 12 oz paper

Ask for the service manual before you pay. It lists the blade interval, the UV lamp life and the error codes this cabinet throws.

BUYER QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions About Snowflake Ice Machines

What is the minimum order — can I buy a single cabinet?

One unit. Every cabinet is built to order and passes the factory inspection in Panyu before crating.

How is snowflake ice different from ice cream or slush?

Three different machines. Ice cream extrudes an aerated mix; slush freezes a sugar solution into crystals you drink through a straw; snowflake ice freezes a milk base into a block and shaves it into sheets you eat with a spoon. Same site, different ticket.

How long does a cup take?

About 30 seconds from payment to pickup, cup size and toppings included. The screen shows the customer an estimate before they pay.

Do I have to buy the base mix from you?

No. Base mix, jam and toppings are standard food products — buy them locally. We only supply the machine and the cup magazine.

What does a cup cost me?

It depends on your supplier. One litre of base makes 12–15 cups, so the base is usually the smaller half of the cost; the cup and the toppings are the rest. Put your own number into the calculator above.

What power does it need?

A dedicated 10 A circuit. Running draw is 2,500 W and the compressor surges on start, so do not share the socket with a fridge or an oven. Voltage is set at the factory for your destination.

How long is lead time, and how does it ship?

Three to fifteen days depending on configuration, then sea freight. The cabinet ships in a wooden crate; the packed size and gross weight are confirmed on your order.

What maintenance does it need?

Daily: empty the waste tray and wipe the pickup port. Weekly: flush the base line. The blade and the UV lamp are the two wear parts — both are in the service manual with intervals.
