How much does a commercial soft serve machine cost?

AXOSPRO commercial soft serve machines cost $1,617–$1,800. Across the full line, listed prices run from $1,205 for a compact two-bowl slush machine to $6,780 for a 1,000 kg/day industrial flake ice machine. The spread is driven by output and refrigeration capacity, not by brand markup — a countertop unit that produces 18–25 L/h sits in the middle of the range.

Do commercial ice machines need a water line and a drain?

Yes — cube and flake ice machines need two separate plumbing connections. One line feeds potable cold water into the machine; a second, separate line carries melt and rinse water out to a drain. They are not the same pipe. Soft serve, slush, popsicle and fried ice cream machines work differently: an operator pours mix or water in by hand, so they need neither a water line nor a floor drain.

What size ice machine does my business need?

For a full-service restaurant, plan on roughly 1.5 lb (0.7 kg) of ice per guest per day, then add your bar, beverage and food-display needs on top. A 150-seat restaurant turning twice a day needs about 450 lb (205 kg) of ice daily, which puts it in the range of a 450 kg/24h machine such as the IM-260 rather than a 95 kg/24h unit. Bars and cocktail programmes run hotter — count 2–3 lb per drink.

Can a commercial soft serve machine run on standard 110V power?

Every AXOSPRO machine ships configured for North American electrical service — 110 V / 60 Hz with a NEMA plug — so no electrician is required to rewire a standard U.S. outlet. Machines destined for 220 V / 50–60 Hz markets are built to order on request.

How long does delivery take, and will I pay import duty?

In-stock machines leave our U.S. warehouse within 1–2 business days and arrive in the lower 48 states in about 3–7 business days by LTL freight. Because stocked machines have already cleared customs and are held domestically, there are no import duties, customs clearance fees or overseas freight charges on those orders. The carrier contacts you to schedule a delivery appointment. Items not currently held in a U.S.
