FAQ's
Where can I put a slushie machine and what on?
The slushie machines are heavy and should ideally be placed on a sturdy timber or steel table or a counter top. The machine is too high to be placed under overhead cabinets on a kitchen bench but apart from that, indoor or outdoor kitchen benches can be a good option. The machines are approx 80cm high. The single machines need a space of approximately 50cm deep and 25cm wide. The double machines need a space of approximately 50cm deep and 45cm wide. The triple machines need a space of approximately 50cm deep and 65cm wide. You can add a steel bench on the booking form if you don’t have anything suitable.
Slushie Machine Weights:
- Single Slushie Machine - Approximately 35kg
- Double Slushie Machine - Approximately 50kg
- Triple Slushie Machine - Approximately 80kg
Plastic folding trestle tables are not ideal as the plastic table top will flex quite a bit.
The machines make a fair bit of white noise so outdoors is optimal but inside will be ok if it's your only option.
How long does the slushie machine take to freeze?
This is a difficult question to answer as it depends on many factors. You can plan on a freeze time of approximately 1-2 hours. The actual freeze time varies and depends on the individual machine and our delivery and setup methods. Please enter your actual event start time in the checkout page and we will supply our service in a way that works for that event start time. If you have selected a delivery time that won't work for your event start time, we'll let you know.
How much alcohol needs to be added to a cocktail slushie mix?
These can be used as cocktails or mocktails. We do not supply the alcohol, just the base flavour. Most people add 1L of alcohol per flavour/tank although you can add between 700ml and 1400ml per flavour/tank. A strong alcohol such as Tequila may taste better at the lower end of that range.
When does the alcohol need to be added to a slushie cocktail mix?
You can add alcohol to the slushie mix any time although it will freeze faster if you add the alcohol to the mix after it has already frozen. You can add the alcohol any time after it is frozen and it takes approximately 15 minutes to stir through the mix.
