Ignoring daily cleaning can waste over 30 minutes per shift and even shorten your machine’s lifespan — time is money in a busy café.

Snow Ice Machine vs Ice Cream Machine: The Cleaning & Maintenance Difference

For commercial dessert businesses, cleaning isn’t just about hygiene — it’s about labor costs, downtime, and compliance. Here’s how a PureSnow Snowflake Machine stacks up against a traditional ice cream machine when it comes to cleaning and maintenance.

PureSnow Snowflake Machine — Fast, Easy, Low Maintenance

• Automatic Self-Cleaning: Just add water, press clean, and it finishes in 80 seconds.
• No Consumables: No gaskets, paddles, or dairy parts to replace.
• Durable Blades: Stainless steel blades last years without frequent changes.
• Food Safety Ready: Stainless steel, HACCP and ISO 22000 compliant design.
• Business Value: Saves 30 minutes of labor daily — enough time to serve dozens more customers.

Traditional Ice Cream Machine — Tedious and Costly

• Time-Consuming: Requires full disassembly and manual scrubbing (20–30 minutes daily).
• Frequent Parts Replacement: Gaskets, seals, and nozzles wear out and add costs.
• Dairy Residue Risks: Milk and sugar easily build up in pipes and joints.
• Higher Compliance Risk: Cleaning mistakes can lead to hygiene issues or machine damage.

Cleaning & Maintenance Comparison

Time Saved = Profit Gained

Switching to a PureSnow Snowflake Machine means less time cleaning and more time serving. In a café operating 8 hours a day, saving 30 minutes of cleaning per shift equals 180+ hours a year — time that can be turned into revenue.
