Frequently Asked Questions
What juice dispenser machines does The Slushie Co. supply?
The Slushie Co. (via SnowFlow Australia) supplies commercial juice dispensers and cold drink dispensers for cafés, hotel breakfast stations, events, school canteens, and hospitality venues. Models include maintaining drinks at consistent cold temperatures throughout the day. Both purchase and hire options are available.
Can I hire a juice dispenser for my event?
Yes — juice dispenser hire is available across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane/Gold Coast, and Adelaide, subject to availability. Juice dispensers are ideal for weddings, corporate breakfasts, school fetes, and outdoor events where guests need continuous access to chilled drinks. Contact your nearest Slushie Co. branch for hire availability, pricing, and package inclusions.
How do commercial juice dispensers keep drinks cold?
Commercial juice dispensers use refrigerated cooling systems to maintain drinks at a consistent, chilled temperature — typically 4–8°C — throughout continuous service. Unlike domestic drink pitchers, commercial units are designed for all-day operation in busy venues. No ice addition is required, which means your juice stays dilution-free and perfectly chilled.
What drinks can I serve in a commercial juice dispenser?
Commercial juice dispensers can serve fresh juices, fruit punch, cordials, iced teas, flavoured waters, and cold brew coffee. Non-carbonated drinks work best in most standard dispensers. Contact The Slushie Co. if you wish to serve sparkling or carbonated drinks — specific pressurised models may be required.
Are juice dispensers suitable for school canteens?
Yes — commercial juice dispensers are popular in Australian school canteens as a healthier alternative to sugary drink vending machines. When used with approved juices and cordials, they support the Australian Healthy School Canteen guidelines. SnowFlow Australia also offers a Free On-Loan Machine program for qualifying school canteens — ask about eligibility when you enquire.
How much does juice dispenser hire cost?
Juice dispenser hire pricing depends on the model, number of bowls, and event duration. Contact The Slushie Co. at your nearest branch — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane/Gold Coast, or Adelaide — for a tailored quote. Package inclusions vary; confirm what is provided (machine, jugs, setup, delivery) when booking.
How long does a chocolate fountain run continuously?
Commercial chocolate fountains are designed to run continuously for the duration of your event — typically 3–8 hours. As the chocolate level drops, simply add more pre-melted fountain chocolate to maintain flow. Never leave the fountain unattended when running, and keep a thermometer nearby to monitor the chocolate temperature (ideally 45–50°C).
What dipping items work best with a chocolate fountain?
The most popular dipping items for chocolate fountains include fresh strawberries, marshmallows, banana slices, pineapple chunks, pretzel sticks, shortbread fingers, and profiteroles. Avoid watery fruits (e.g. watermelon, grapes) as excess moisture can seize the chocolate. The Slushie Co. can advise on dipping platters to complement your hire package.
How much does chocolate fountain hire cost?
Chocolate fountain hire pricing varies by machine size, chocolate type, and event duration. Contact your nearest Slushie Co. branch — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane/Gold Coast, or Adelaide — for a quote tailored to your guest numbers and requirements. Hire packages include the fountain, fountain-grade chocolate, skewers, delivery, setup, and collection.
