Ice mills and ice cream machines

An ice mill is not a seasonal product at all. Such an electrical device is indispensable all year round in catering establishments, as well as in a regular kitchen. Crushed ice or snow will be an excellent decoration for dessert, and ice cubes will cool and refresh the taste of alcoholic drinks, juices, and lemonades.

There are different models of shredders available today. They differ from each other in shape, size, bowl volume, and design. But the main characteristic of machines is the operating principle. The device can be mechanical or electrically driven. The first option is suitable for home, and the second is used in public establishments: cafes, restaurants, bistros, pizzerias.

The body of the splitting device is made of stainless steel or plastic. The filling of the device, that is, the mechanism itself, is made of the strongest metal. All mills have a separate compartment into which the ice goes after the splitting is completed.

The frozen water mill has become very popular recently. You can use it to crush ice and then add it to your favorite dessert or drink. The devices can also be used for other purposes. For example, electric models can chop berries and fruits, obtaining pieces of the desired size and consistency.

Sometimes you can see unusual names in stores - crusher, ice crusher, ice crusher, etc. All these are mills.

Types of mills

As mentioned earlier, the main difference between the devices is the operating principle. Let's take a closer look at two options for mill operation:

1. Manual devices. The devices work like a classic mill. First, raw materials are loaded into the body, and then the handle begins to turn, which activates the knives that crush the frozen water. Hand-held devices are suitable home appliances.

2. Electrical units. A professional machine, powered by an electric drive, does everything independently. To start it, you need to connect to the network and press a button. The electric motor itself will set the knives in motion and grind the filling. Such fast cutting is relevant in cafes, restaurants and other establishments where it is so important to automate the work of cooks.

Before you buy a crusher, you need to study the type of design and body material. Today, models made of plastic or metal are in good demand. Consider appliances with a removable or pull-out tray. This can make working with ice much easier.

Application area of the ice crusher

It is worth purchasing a chopper if you often prepare cold cocktails, and also like cold desserts and original presentation of dishes. Chopping frozen water with this device will not require much time; you will get the desired drink in a few minutes. You can’t do without a car like this in the summer, when it’s hot outside and you really want to drink something cold.

Catering establishments are also equipped with ice crushers. True, they practically do not use manual mechanisms, but models powered by an electric drive can be seen in bars, restaurants, and nightclubs. These devices allow you to crush ice to the desired consistency and size at maximum speed and in the required volume.
