Rolled Ice Cream Machine Breakdowns – What to do

broken ice cream machine

If you’ve purchased your rolled ice cream machine from China or India, its not a matter of ‘IF’, but ‘WHEN’ it will breakdown.

Unfortunately due to the poor build quality many of these units don’t last a year, causing lost business and extra expense on replacements.

The manufacturers claim to have a 1 year warranty but this only includes parts. You’ll still be out of pocket when paying for a refrigeration engineer coming to inspect it and fix new parts.

There’s a saying; ‘you buy cheap, you buy twice’. Is it really worth taking the risk when buying equipment for your business?

  1. Buenas tardes, me llamo Génesis y soy de Venezuela. Intente hacer una máquina de ice roll con un compresor de nevera de 1/3 , capilar de 0,36 use de ese tres metros. Con su condensador y una plancha de aluminio de pizza, de esas que de meten al horno, mi compresor usa gas r12 y cuando lo instalamos no congela la plancha solo enfría. Si alguien pudiera ayudarme o guiarme en este proyecto se lo agradecería.

    1. Hi Génesis, thanks for getting in touch.

      It is very hard designing and building an ice cream roll machine, we’ve done it! The research and development required to make it work reliably is difficult and expensive. It is quite straight forward to make a frozen plate, but to make it reliable, even and effective for a long time is very hard. Unfortunately I cannot help you on your current project as the parts you need a exclusive to Ice Roll Pro and we can’t sell just the parts. I wish you all the best in your endeavour.
