Gravity-Fed Machines

Gravity-fed machines rely on gravity to move the mix from the hopper to the freezing cylinder using a mix feed tube and air orifice.

Overrun Characteristics:

• Consistent Overrun: Typically achieves around 30-40% overrun, resulting in a denser product.
• Simplicity and Reliability: Fewer mechanical components mean easier maintenance and operation.

Example: The Taylor C713 is one of our twin-twist, gravity-fed machine, ideal for businesses seeking a high volume operation with consistent product quality.

Pump-Pressurized Machines

Pump-Pressurized  models use pumps to deliver the mix to the freezing cylinder under pressure, allowing for greater % of overrun. Overrun can range from 30% to 80% typically.

Pump style overrun cab be adjusted by changing the pump valve cap in our simplified pump or valve body in our co-ax pump.

Overrun Characteristics:

• Adjustable Overrun: Capable of achieving 25-80% overrun, offering flexibility to produce lighter, airier products or denser treats based on customer preference.
• Enhanced Texture Control: Allows for precise manipulation of product texture and mouthfeel.

Example: The Taylor C716 28HT is a Pump-Pressurized machine designed for high-volume establishments and adjustable overrun settings.

Making the Choice

Your decision between gravity-fed and Pump-Pressurized machines should align with your business model and taste preferences. If your clientele favors a richer, denser soft serve, a gravity-fed machine may be suitable. Conversely, if a lighter texture and higher yield are desired, a pump-fed machine would be advantageous.

Conclusion

Understanding the differences between gravity-fed and Pump-Pressurized Taylor machines is essential for delivering the desired soft serve experience. By considering factors such as overrun, texture, and operational requirements, you can select the machine that best aligns with your business objectives and delights your customers.
