Batch Freezers

Batch freezers are commercial machines used to produce small to mid-sized quantities of frozen desserts like ice cream, gelato, frozen custard, and sorbet. Designed for flexibility, they allow operators to craft frozen treats with control over texture, mix-ins, and overrun. This makes batch freezers especially popular in ice cream shops, gourmet dessert parlours, and restaurants aiming to offer house-made frozen specialties.

The primary advantage of a batch freezer is its ability to churn and freeze one batch at a time, giving the operator full control over flavour development and consistency. Once a batch is finished, the product can be served directly into a dipping cabinet or packaged for retail. Because batch freezers work independently from soft serve machines and continuous freezers, they’re an excellent fit for businesses offering rotating seasonal menus or artisan-style dessert production.

Batch freezers are available in a range of capacities to meet different production goals. Smaller countertop models may produce just a few litres per cycle—ideal for limited daily output—while larger floor-standing units are capable of multiple high-volume batches per hour. When selecting a unit, it’s important to consider your peak demand, batch size requirements, and whether you'll be scaling up your operation in the future.
