Accessories for Ice Cream Equipment

Accessories for Ice Cream Equipment are an essential accompanying inventory for any business that offers ice cream — the right scoop, the appropriate cup and quality serving utensils directly influence the quality, speed, presentation and customer satisfaction of ice cream service. BHS offers accessories for ice cream equipment to HoReCa businesses across Europe.

Types of accessories for ice cream equipment

Accessories for ice cream equipment are divided into several categories according to their function. Ice cream scoops — scoops of various sizes and shapes for gelato, hard ice cream and soft ice cream; the material is stainless steel or high-quality plastic, and the shapes differ according to the texture of the ice cream. Ice cream cups and wafers — cone-shaped, flat and decorative cups for different ice cream serving formats; wafers — both cones and flat wafer discs. Soft ice cream nozzles — nozzles for soft ice cream equipment that determine the shape of the ice cream spiral; various shapes and sizes. Ice cream scoop holders — hygienic holders that store scoops in water or in a dry position between serving cycles. Toppings and accessories — dispensers for syrups, sprinkles and other toppings to add to ice cream. BHS helps you choose the most suitable accessories based on the model of the equipment and the service concept.

Where to use accessories for ice cream equipment

Ice cream accessories are essential in HoReCa businesses with any ice cream service concept. Gelato café or ice cream shop — scoops for each flavour, cups and ice cream dishes for serving different portions. Café with a soft ice cream machine — soft ice cream nozzles for creating different spiral shapes, cups and wafers. Restaurant with a dessert menu — ice cream serving scoops and cups for preparing bowls and dishes at a fast pace. Catering event with an ice cream station — mobile ice cream serving stations with the appropriate accessories at the event venue. Supermarket or convenience store — ice cream scoops and serving utensils for the store’s open ice cream display.

Hygiene and HACCP requirements

Accessories for ice cream service must meet strict hygiene requirements due to direct food contact. Scoop hygiene — scoops must be stored in clean water (to be changed regularly) or in special dry holders between serving cycles; under no circumstances should they be left in the ice cream. Washing and disinfection — ice cream scoops and cups must be washed and disinfected regularly with agents approved for the food industry. Material safety — scoops and cups must be made from materials approved for food contact (food-grade stainless steel, polypropylene or polyethylene). Nozzle cleaning — soft ice cream nozzles must be removed and cleaned regularly to prevent product build-up and the proliferation of microorganisms.

Frequently asked questions

Are ice cream scoops universal or should they be chosen according to the type of ice cream? Scoops differ in shape and size — for hard gelato, wider, more robust scoops are used, while for soft ice cream, special ladle-shaped utensils are used. Choose according to the texture of the ice cream and the size of the portion. Contact the BHS team and also explore Ice Cream Storage Display Cases.
