Choosing the right machine for your operation
Acai bowl machines (e.g. Brullen, AcaiPro) process frozen acai to bowl-ready consistency and are purpose-built for acai bar operators. Soft serve machines dispense soft-serve ice cream or frozen yoghurt in gravity-feed or pressurised configurations — gravity-feed suits lower-volume venues; pressurised suits continuous high-volume service. Read our guide to finding the perfect acai machine for a spec-by-spec comparison.
Popular picks include the AcaiPro Commercial Acai Bowl Machine B22 — the highest-traffic product in the range — and the Brullen Baby Soft Serve & Frozen Yoghurt Counter Top Machine for compact countertop soft-serve in cafés or dessert bars.
Frequently asked questions
What is an acai machine and who needs one?
An acai machine is a commercial-grade frozen blending unit that processes frozen acai pulp to a thick, spoonable bowl consistency — it's not a standard blender or ice cream machine. Acai bowl bars, juice bars, health cafés and food trucks use them. Brands like AcaiPro and Brullen are the dominant AU commercial options.
Soft serve machine vs frozen yoghurt machine — what is the difference?
Functionally very similar — most commercial soft serve machines can run both ice cream mix and frozen yoghurt mix depending on the product loaded. Key specs to check: output capacity (litres/hour), number of flavours (single vs twist), and feed system (gravity vs pressurised). Gravity-feed suits lower-volume venues; pressurised systems are more consistent for busy service.
How much does a commercial soft serve machine cost in Australia?
Entry-level countertop models start from around AU$3,000–$5,000. Mid-range commercial units with single-flavour output run AU$5,000–$10,000. High-volume or dual-flavour twist machines from brands like Brullen can exceed AU$15,000. Prices on all models are visible in-range; Silver Chef finance is available.
What size soft serve machine do I need?
For a café or small dessert bar: a single-flavour countertop unit with 3–5 litre hopper capacity suits intermittent service. For a dedicated ice cream or soft-serve shop with continuous service: a floor-standing or dual-flavour machine with higher hopper capacity and faster overrun rate.

Yes — fast dispatch to all states. Countertop models ship standard freight. Floor-standing units ship palletised. Sydney/Melbourne buyers can view equipment at our Granville NSW showroom.
