How To Choose The Ice Machine And Ice Cubes in The Milk Tea Shop?

The ice cubes in milk tea shops are divided into shapes. I don’t know if you have understood it when drinking milk tea. Ice machines on the market include but are not limited to: square ice, crescent ice, snowflake ice, spherical ice, etc. At present, milk tea shops use more square and crescent ice, and these two kinds of ice are more suitable for tea after testing .

So what is the difference between square ice and crescent ice?

1. Square ice: the advantage is that the price is lower, because the price of the ice machine for making square ice is relatively cheap, and the ice output is relatively high. The ice-making time of solid and hollow square ice is different, so milk tea shops usually use hollow ice, which makes the ice-making time faster and shorter, generally 15 to 25 minutes, and the time of different models and parameters of the machine is also different.

Such hollow ice also has obvious advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it saves effort when making smoothies, slightly reduces the wear of the blades of the smoothie machine, and makes drinks faster. The disadvantage is that friends who make online at the same time don’t like it: it is easier than crescent ice. When melted, the drink will be diluted and the taste will be affected very quickly.

2. Crescent Ice: Crescent Ice is a flow-type double-sided ice-making system. The water flows through the two sides of the ice tray and condenses into ice cubes, which can reduce energy loss, make a large amount of ice at a time, save water and electricity, and have higher hardness and transparency. More beautiful, the melting speed is slow, and it can keep fresh for a certain period of time. Compared with the square ice, the melting speed is about one-third slower than it, and the contact area between the curved ice and the milk tea drink is larger, which can quickly cool down The effect is to improve the drink quality and shorten the dilution time, which is very suitable for online.

The disadvantage is that the same ice production time will be longer than that of square ice, and the price is also 10-20% higher. But again, crescent ice has a greater output for improving the quality and value of cold drinks.

For the selection of ice machines, it is also necessary to choose a machine suitable for the milk tea shop according to the size and order quantity of the milk tea shop. The use of suitable machines and ice cubes in milk tea shops can reduce time, improve the quality of each cup of milk tea, and increase value and customer preference.

The ice cube is very small, but it is also a detail that cannot be ignored.
