Supplies for Slush Machines

Purchase the appropriate supplies to use with the slush machines

You need certain supplies to keep your slushy machines fully operational. Some of these supplies keep the machine clean and others help you to make and serve slushies.

Having the appropriate supplies for slush machines on hand at all times ensures that you can use the machines when you want without having to run out for supplies. Consider these suggestions to keep the slush machine fully stocked at all times:

1. Keep a varied selection of tasty frozen drink mixes to use in the ice slush machines.

2. Purchase supplies to serve the slushies.

3. Ensure the slush machines are clean before and after each use.

 

Find a tasty mix for your slushee machines

A frozen drink machine is only as good as the mix it prepares. Finding frozen drink mixes that taste good and are affordable ensures that you can satisfy the people to whom you serve the slushies. There are numerous options available, including fruit mixes and frozen coffee mixes.
Try: Frozen Drink Madness sells a varied selection of mixes for slush machines, including fruit smoothies, slushies, frozen mixed drinks and frozen cappuccino mix. Services Unlimited sells fresh fruit mixes for frozen drink machines.

Have supplies on hand to serve the slushy from the slushy machine

You need cups, lids and straws on hand to serve the slushies. Many slush makers have holders for these items. When you order these items, consider ordering environmentally friendly items or reusable items. You will also need to order a varied selection of sizes, including kids' cups, as kids will usually have trouble handling adult size cups.
Try: World Centric is a non profit organization that sells cups, lids and straws. All of the items sold by this company are biodegradable and many of them made from recycled materials. WEBstaurant Store sells a varied selection of cups, lids and straws. You will find some biodegradable plastic cups and lids, including kids’ cups and lids at this store.

Keep the slush machine clean and maintained

When you own a slushy maker, you have to clean it and sanitize it on a regular basis to keep it operational. While it is okay to clean it sometimes with dishwashing liquid, you will have to clean and sanitize the slush maker with food grade cleaners and sanitizers to ensure that you kill the germs.
Try: InstaWares is a food service company that has slush machine sanitizer and cleaner for sale. My Popcorn Machine sells numerous food grade sanitizers and cleaners.

 

• Keep trash bags near the slush machines to throw trash away. You can also use the bags to carry supplies, such as cups, when the event is over.
