Here is a comparison of gravity-fed and pump-fed soft serve ice cream machines:
Gravity Fed Soft Serve Ice Cream Machine
Ice cream mix flows from the mix tank through a feed tube into the freezing cylinder by gravity.
The mix tank only has a feed tube. Installation and cleaning are simple and convenient.
Relatively lower price compared to pump-fed machines.
Lower initial investment cost, more suitable for new start-up businesses.
Pump Fed Soft Serve Ice Cream Machine
A pump first draws the ice cream mix and aerates it before pumping it under pressure into the freezing cylinder.
The mix tank has an installed pump device. Installation and cleaning are relatively more complex. Cost is also higher than gravity-fed.
Produces ice cream with lighter, airier texture and smoother mouthfeel compared to gravity-fed.
Better for businesses that demand higher ice cream quality and mouthfeel.
Produces the same portion with less mix, increasing profit margins.
Higher initial investment cost due to pump device.
