Technical Insights: Vollrath VCBA168-37 Triple 1.6 Gal Slushy Machine
What is the advantage of a triple 1.6-gallon bowl for a specialty menu?The Vollrath VCBA168-37 is designed for "variety over volume," offering three independent 1.6-gallon bowls in a compact footprint. This is the ideal setup for bars or dessert shops that want to offer three niche flavors—such as frozen espresso, craft cocktails, and fruit granita—without the waste associated with larger tanks. The smaller bowl size ensures a faster turnover, keeping the product fresh and visually appealing to customers.
What are the electrical and ventilation requirements for this triple unit?This unit requires a standard 115V circuit, but because it cools three independent zones, a dedicated 15-amp line is recommended for stability. You must provide at least 6 inches of clearance on all sides for the air-cooled condenser to shed heat effectively. Avoid placing the unit near steam-tables or coffee brewers, as high ambient heat will extend the freeze-down time for all three tanks.
How should technicians manage the maintenance of three independent drive systems?A staggered cleaning schedule is best, ensuring at least two bowls are available while one is being sanitized. Technicians should inspect and lubricate the rear seals on all three augers weekly to prevent leaks into the motor housing. Regular vacuuming of the condenser coils is vital on this triple-head unit to ensure all three bowls freeze evenly and the compressor is not overstressed during busy shifts.
How does the Vollrath consistency control handle different sugar contents?The VCBA series features independent mechanical controls that allow you to set the thickness for each bowl separately. This is essential if one flavor is a heavy syrup and another is a lighter juice base. The torque sensors will independently cycle the cooling for each bowl, preventing "ice-locking" in one tank while the others are still reaching serving consistency. This ensures a uniform mouthfeel across your entire frozen menu.
