It doesn’t matter if you’re revamping an old-school ice cream parlor or want to add novelties to your busy food truck, CKitchen can help you find the ice cream business equipment you need to thrive! While we have units for an incredible range of applications and novelties, most of our ice cream equipment is designed to help you properly store, serve and make frozen treats. That means top-of-the-line dipping cabinets, gelato displays, soft serve machines, ice shavers, blast freezers, walk-in freezers and ice cream supplies and accessories.

Hard Ice Cream Display and Holding

Dipping cabinets are a staple item for any restaurant, cafe, or ice cream shop serving hard ice cream. Visual dipping cabinets typically have sliding glass lids for quick access to product while allowing for customers to easily view product without opening the lid. Horizontal dipping cabinets feature a stainless steel top with dual access removable lids (good for both storage and display), while chest freezers are perfect for storing extra gallons of ice cream after your initial bulk purchases.

Soft serve ice cream machines can serve soft-serve ice cream, frozen yogurt, and custard. There are pump fed and gravity feed units, each with it’s own benefits and drawbacks.

Instead, shock freeze at 0°F or +10°F; the water in the ice cream is transformed into micro-crystals that maintain initial quality intact and do not ruin the structure. Walk-in freezers can then store these frozen products as well for long-ter

Accessories

Portioning tools like an ice cream disher help to not only ensure similar scoop sizes but are also great at creating a smooth, rounded scoop every time. Be sure to store these in your dipper well between use. Dippers utilize defrosted liquid in the handle for easier scooping. When your ice cream dishers and dippers are not in use, you’ll want to store them in a filled dipper well. This keeps the scoop clean while ensuring that ice cream transfer between flavors is kept to a minimum. Liquid or ge
