Commercial Slush Maker | Low Sugar and Alcohol Compatible | 2x12L Capacity | Polar U-Series UA045

Q: Can I use fresh fruit juice in this machine?

A: Yes, this model is capable of making slush from fresh fruit juice. However, you may need to add sugar or a stabiliser to achieve the correct consistency, as the machine relies on sugar content (Brix level) to slush correctly.

Q: What is the maximum alcohol percentage I can use?

A: This machine is designed to handle alcoholic beverages with a content of up to 20% ABV. Higher percentages may inhibit the freezing process.

Q: How long does it take to freeze a full batch?

A: From room temperature, it typically takes between 40 to 60 minutes to achieve the perfect slush consistency, depending on the ambient temperature and  the mix used.

Q: How often does the unit need to be cleaned?

A: Drip trays and  nozzles should be cleaned daily. A full breakdown and  sanitisation of the tanks and  internal components is recommended every 1-2 weeks, based on your level of use.

Q: Does this machine need to be plumbed in?

A: No, this is a manual-fill machine. You simply mix your product and  pour it directly into the tanks. No water connection is required.

Q: What does the automatic defrost feature do?

A: The automatic defrost function prevents large ice crystals from forming and  ensures the slush remains at a consistent, smooth texture without manual intervention, saving you time and  effort.

Q: Is it noisy to run?

A: Like any refrigeration unit, it will make some noise from the compressor and  motor, especially during the initial freeze cycle. However, it's designed for commercial environments and  operates at an acceptable level.

Q: Can I control the thickness of the slush?

A: Yes, the intuitive digital controls allow you to adjust the temperature settings, which in turn controls the thickness and  consistency of the final product.
