    Trying to sell a used batch freezer- never used it myself. I was told it was working perfectly. Perspective buyer said the hopper should be getting icy like the top compartment. It’s cold, but not icing?

      Thank you Tito,

      I was asking a muddled question.

    It has two different refrigeration systems. One is for the chill tank and the other is for the mixing system. But it has to have product for the freeze chamber to work correctly. I have had several of the older ones that the coil in the freezing cylinder developed a slow leak. So yes, it may not be freezing as it is supposed to. Have a service agent take a look at it. What refrigerant does it contain? Picture of the name plate will tell all. Should have the refrigerant’s and amount in each system.

    Some of the Taylors used a solenoid valves and a single compressor system, which your electrical plate indicates.

    No machine likes to be set aside for long periods without a need for recommissioning by a technician. Especially if it wasn’t placed in storage correctly.

      Thank you,

      sounds like I’ll need to call Taylors.

      While it sounds like you need to test it with product/base to get a good read on the freeze chamber, I don’t want to sell something not operating correctly.

      Much appreciated!

    What’s overrun on that machine?

    Over run varies with mix, cylinder temp, air adjustments and agitator torque. Also, the fat content of the mix has a big effect on the mouth feel.
