Ice cream factory in a vending machine

Food & Beverage Published on 5 May 2006 in Food & Beverage

Banana ice cream with peanut butter cups mixed in? Not a problem for MooBella, a high-tech vending machine that makes ice cream to order in 45 seconds.

Because it uses flash freezing instead of the standard slow churning method, MooBella can produce ice cream on demand from room temperature ingredients. The front of the machine features a touch-screen display showing a menu of flavours and mix-ins, allowing customers to create any combination they like. If the machine runs out of a flavour, it's removed from the menu and an order is automatically placed for a refill.

Raised in Massachusetts, MooBella is decidedly high-tech. Not only does its onboard computer run on Linux, the machine also communicates wirelessly through satellite technology to provide company headquarters with inventory and sales data.

MooBella's customization and fun process are sure to be a hit with consumers. The machine's small footprint (slightly larger than a standard soda vending machine) makes it easy for entrepreneurs to place in stores, cafés, restaurants... As the company's founder suggested, Starbucks could become the world's largest ice cream seller by placing a machine in every store. Tasty opportunities aplenty!

I think this is a wonderful innovation. I would like to purchase this equipment for use in Ghana, Africa.
I would like to know about price, it's suitability to the African climate, after sales services available and whether the machine can be customised to accept my local currency, cedi.
I have sent email to the address advertised but had no response.
Look forward to getting on this time.
thanks.

Looks like these machines are going to be blowing up in INDIA!

For everyone's information on the site it says rollout will be 2008. At present... "The MooBella Ice Cream System initially has been designed for placement within existing foodservice locations with substantial foot traffic such as colleges, hospitals, large business cafeterias, restaurants, cafés, coffee shops, theaters, mall food courts, specialty food retailers, airports, travel plazas, and convenience stores with cashiers on staff that collect payment. In addition, locations must meet local health department requirements for frozen dessert equipment. At this time, the machine itself does not accept cash or credit cards."

I can't understand why interested parties don't research the website??!! A bit more due diligence might stand you well!

i live in SA and would like 2 get prices on your machines 12kg/l and up.urgently please

hello
i need ice cream machine maker.
i need the catalogue to know differents machine and their prices.
thank u for ur atttention

What is wrong with people?
You guys said you are all big money inventors and such all over the world.. ok.
But you cannot distinguish between an article on an electronic newspaper (which clearly gives you all the info you want) and a vending industry company?
Next time you want to buy milk remember to write a letter to New York Times to ask them for the price..

..the Year is 2009..
