CN Soft Serve
CN Soft Serve
Engineered for high-traffic environments, tourist centers, and automated catering systems throughout Istanbul, Turkey, and neighboring EMEA markets.
Istanbul, bridging Europe and Asia, has rapidly evolved into one of the most dynamic centers for modern retail automation. With a population exceeding 16 million and an annual influx of tens of millions of international tourists, the local commercial landscape demands high-output, space-efficient, and unattended foodservice solutions. Traditional gelaterias and ice cream parlors are increasingly facing rising real estate costs, labor shortages, and stringent health inspection standards.
"By moving from manual service to cabinet-style automated ice cream machines, Turkish retailers and global operators are recording up to 65% reduction in operational expenditures while maintaining 24/7 sales uptime."
Our cabinet-style ice cream machine configurations provide a complete answer to these challenges. Built with structural integrity resembling robust commercial vending enclosures, they protect the internal refrigeration system from high ambient temperatures—common in Turkish summers—while offering interactive touchscreen user interfaces that cater to diverse buyer groups.
On a global scale, the commercial ice cream machine market is experiencing a profound transition toward smart automation. The integration of IoT cloud platforms allows manufacturing plants and franchise operators to remotely monitor ingredient levels, temperature cycles, and billing statistics in real-time.
Whether deployed in Istanbul, London, or New York, the requirement for consistent texture control, automated clean-in-place (CIP) cycles, and low energy consumption remains absolute. Our cabinet-style units are structured specifically to optimize thermal efficiency. Unlike typical table-top models, the cabinet structure allows for larger condenser units, dedicated ventilation paths, and heavier duty compressors, ensuring stable performance even in non-air-conditioned public corridors.
Founded on April 8, 2015, operating a state-of-the-art 3,000 m² factory equipped with two modern assembly lines to deliver exceptional global reliability.
Our equipment conforms to rigorous safety and quality standards across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific.
The heart of any cabinet-style soft ice cream system is its thermodynamic cycle. We deploy globally recognized, highly reliable commercial compressors (such as Embraco and Tecumseh) configured for either R448A, R452A, or R290 eco-friendly refrigerants. Our evaporator cylinders are manufactured from premium food-grade stainless steel with mirror-finish honing, facilitating fast freezing rates and exceptionally high overrun (up to 40% with air pumps).
Clean-in-Place (CIP) & Pasteurization: Integrated heating elements perform automated overnight pasteurization cycles. By raising the temperature of the liquid mix to 65°C for 30 minutes, all microflora are eliminated, extending manual cleaning intervals to 14 days and vastly saving labor overheads in fast-paced retail zones.
The software suite supports remote control protocols through an SDK interface, permitting operators to link the cabinet’s computer to external telemetry platforms. Whether updating screens for local Turkish marketing campaigns or modifying recipes, our systems offer deep customization.
Operating food-dispensing systems in Turkey requires alignment with local laws managed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (Tarım ve Orman Bakanlığı). Our cabinet-style systems employ components certified to European CE standards, which align with Turkish TSE requirements.
Payment System Localization: Our vending systems integrate Nayax or similar payment gateways compatible with local Turkish payment methods, including Troy card schemes, BKM Express, credit/debit card contactless options, and cash acceptors calibrated for the Turkish Lira (TL).
Application Scenarios: Ideal deployments include transportation terminals (Istanbul Airport, Sabiha Gökçen Airport, Metro stations), major malls (Mall of Istanbul, Zorlu Center, Cevahir Mall), and busy tourist lanes like Istiklal Avenue or Kadikoy square.

| System Component | Technical Specification | Operational Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigeration System | Dual compressors (main compressor + hopper pre-cooling unit) | Prevents pasteurizing delays, keeps mix below 4°C at all times. |
| Evaporator & Beater | Heavy-duty stainless steel cylinder with plastic/metal scraper beaters | Ensures smooth texture, prevents freeze-up locks during continuous draws. |
| IoT Connectivity | LTE/Wi-Fi router, integrated telemetry APIs, customizable Android OS | Enables cloud inventory management, payment tracking, error code reporting. |
| Cabinet Insulation | Polyurethane high-density foam filling, vandalism resistant sheet steel | Guarantees minimal temperature loss, high physical security, outdoor usability. |
Key operational and import insights for customers deploying equipment in Turkey and global markets.
Our cabinet-style ice cream machines support standard payment system protocols (MDB/Dex). For Turkey, we natively support the integration of credit/debit card terminals, smart POS systems, QR payments (such as BKM Express and local bank mobile wallets), and customized coin and bill acceptors pre-calibrated to the Turkish Lira (TL).
The machines feature an automated clean-in-place (CIP) and thermal pasteurization program. Once activated (usually scheduled during off-hours), the machine warms the remaining liquid mix in the cylinder and hoppers to pasteurization temperature, destroying bacteria. This cycle complies with international health standards and reduces required manual washing intervals to once every 10–14 days.
Yes. Our cabinet structures are specifically insulated with high-density polyurethane foam and employ dedicated pre-cooling compressors for the hoppers. Air ventilation ports are engineered to maximize heat dissipation. For extreme outdoor settings, we recommend placing the cabinet under a canopy to avoid direct sunlight exposure and maximize refrigeration efficiency.
Absolutely. We specialize in OEM/ODM services. We offer custom body wrapping, logo printing, and UI customization. The touchscreens are powered by Android-based software, allowing you to easily localize language settings (Turkish/English/Arabic etc.) and display customized promotional media or videos.
Our company is ISO 9001 certified. Our cabinet-style ice cream machines carry global certifications including CE, RoHS, CB, UL, PSE, KC, and UKCA. This guarantees compliance with safety, electrical, and public health directives globally, simplifying customs clearance in Turkey and European Union markets.
