Designed for high-traffic environments like quick-serve restaurants, amusement parks, and ice cream shops, it delivers smooth, uniform shakes with the reliability Taylor equipment is known for.

By batching mix in advance, operators can eliminate the need for manual scooping or blending to reduce prep time and ensure product consistency from open to close.
