Ugolini Chilled Drinks Dispensers

The Ugolini NG 10-2 is a twin-tank slush dispenser designed for commercial front-of-house and self-service environments. Two independent polycarbonate tanks allow operators to offer two separate slush products at the same time, making it a practical choice wherever variety and visual appeal at the point of service matter.

In a busy service environment, the NG 10-2 is well suited to consistent output across a full service period. Because the tanks operate independently, one flavour can continue dispensing while the other is being topped up or cleaned, which helps reduce interruptions during peak trading. The machine operates quietly, which makes it a reasonable fit for customer-facing locations where ambient noise is a consideration.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the NG 10-2 offers several practical advantages:

• Twin independent tanks allow two products to be served simultaneously without cross-contamination
• Clear polycarbonate tanks provide product visibility, supporting impulse purchase at the point of sale
• Overload protection reduces the risk of issues caused by incorrect filling during service
• Straightforward cleaning procedure supports hygiene standards between service periods
• Simple plug-in connection requires no specialist installation or plumbing

Installation is uncomplicated — the unit connects to a standard three-pin socket and requires no plumbing or specialist electrical work. As with any refrigerated countertop appliance, adequate ventilation around the unit is advisable to maintain performance. It is not intended for back-of-house or high-humidity environments where condensation could be a concern, and counter space should be measured carefully before positioning.

The NG 10-2 is well suited to cafés, quick-service restaurants, leisure venues, and school or workplace catering operations with moderate to high footfall. For sites with particularly high throughput, or where more than two flavours are needed simultaneously, a higher-capacity model from the Ugolini range may be worth considering before making a decision.

The Ugolini Arctic DX 12/2AA is a counter-top chilled drink dispenser with two independent bowls giving a combined 24-litre capacity. It is designed for continuous, high-volume service of non-carbonated cold beverages — juices, cordials, iced teas, and similar still drinks — where a consistent, ready-to-serve product needs to be maintained throughout a service period without constant staff intervention.

Each bowl circulates liquid via a magnetically operated submersible pump, with a continuously running stirring paddle that keeps the temperature even and prevents juice-based drinks from separating or settling. In practice, this means the product in the bowl at the end of a busy breakfast service should look and taste the same as it did at the start — a detail that matters in buffet and self-service environments where presentation consistency is visible to guests.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the unit is designed to keep cleaning and maintenance straightforward:

• Removable food-grade bowls and faucets simplify daily cleaning and hygiene compliance
• Quick-dismantle construction keeps end-of-service strip-down manageable without specialist tools
• Hermetically sealed compressor reduces the likelihood of ongoing mechanical issues
• Stainless steel unibody construction holds up under regular commercial use
• Rubber tap is straightforward to operate during busy service and easy to sanitise

The dispenser is counter-mounted and connects to a standard electrical supply, so installation is generally uncomplicated. It is not suitable for carbonated drinks — operators running a mixed beverage offering should factor this into their equipment planning. Allow reasonable clearance around the unit on the service counter to make daily cleaning practical.

This model is well suited to hotel breakfast operations, café counters, buffet restaurants, and event catering setups where two flavours or drink types need to be served simultaneously at volume. For sites with a single-product offering, a single-bowl model may be sufficient. For very high-footfall or continuous-service environments, a heavier-duty unit with greater capacity may be worth considering.

If you are weighing up whether this capacity and configuration suits your service setup, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Ugolini NG 10-1 is a countertop slush dispenser with a single 10-litre bowl. It works by continuously churning and chilling a liquid mix — keeping it at a consistently dispensable frozen texture throughout service. There is no water connection required; the bowl is filled manually. It runs from a standard three-pin plug socket, making it one of the more straightforward pieces of refrigeration equipment to put into service.

In busy periods the continuous-churn mechanism means the product stays ready and dispensable from when the machine reaches temperature until the end of service, without any batch preparation or intervention between customers. The clear polycarbonate bowl makes the product visible, which works well in front-of-house positions and at point-of-sale counters where visual appeal influences purchasing decisions.

Day-to-day operational advantages include:

• Standard plug connection — no dedicated circuit or electrician required
• Continuous churn keeps product ready and consistent throughout service
• Built-in overload protection helps guard against damage from overfilling
• Quiet operation suits customer-facing counter positions
• Straightforward disassembly supports thorough daily cleaning routines

Siting the machine is uncomplicated — it needs a stable, level surface with reasonable clearance around the casing so the refrigeration system can dissipate heat efficiently. Positioning it hard against a wall or inside an enclosed unit will affect performance. Because it is manually filled, placement near a service or prep counter is the practical choice for most operators.

The NG 10-1 is well suited to smaller cafés, kiosks, snack bars, leisure centres and school canteens that want a reliable single-flavour slush offer without committing to a larger, multi-bowl machine. It is worth being realistic about throughput: at busy events or in high-footfall venues running a sustained service, the single 10-litre bowl may not keep pace with demand on its own. For operators expecting higher volumes or wanting to run two flavours simultaneously, a twin-bowl or larger-capacity unit would be the more appropriate starting point.

If you are not sure whether a single-bowl machine will suit your typical service period, we are happy to talk through the options before you commit.

The Ugolini Arctic DX 12/1AA is a single-bowl countertop chilled drink dispenser designed to hold non-carbonated beverages at a consistent serving temperature throughout a service period. A magnetically operated submersible pump works alongside a stirring paddle to circulate the drink continuously, keeping the temperature even across the bowl and preventing warm pockets from forming near the surface. This circulation also keeps the product homogenous, which matters for anything containing fruit pulp, cordials, or added syrups that would otherwise settle or separate during service.

In practice, the value of a unit like this lies in its ability to present a chilled drink attractively while allowing rapid, self-serve dispensing without requiring repeated staff attention. That makes it a natural fit for hotel breakfast stations, café serveries, canteen counters, and events catering where the drink needs to look good and stay at temperature across an extended service.

From an operational standpoint, the design has been kept straightforward:

• Removable bowl and faucet allow thorough end-of-day cleaning without specialist tools
• The rubber tap is simple to operate and quick to dismantle for hygiene routines
• Stainless steel construction supports durability under regular commercial use
• Hermetically sealed compressor reduces long-term maintenance exposure
• Manual bowl-fill means no water line is needed, giving flexible placement options

Installation is uncomplicated. The unit sits on a countertop and requires only a standard electrical connection — there is no plumbing involved. That flexibility suits both permanent counters and temporary or event-based setups equally well.

The 12-litre single-bowl format is well suited to moderate service volumes where one drink option is being offered at a time. Sites with higher throughput, longer service periods, or a requirement to offer multiple beverages simultaneously may find a larger-capacity or multi-bowl configuration more appropriate for the demand they are expecting.

If you are weighing up whether this capacity and configuration suits your operation, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Ugolini Arctic DX 12/3AA is a countertop chilled drink dispenser with three independent bowls and a combined 36-litre capacity. It is designed for continuous cold service of non-carbonated beverages — juices, iced teas, flavoured water, cordials — allowing operators to present multiple varieties simultaneously at a consistent chill throughout the service period.

Each bowl uses a submersible circulation pump rather than relying on surface contact alone. In practice this means the machine maintains temperature reliably as bowls are drawn down and refilled during service, rather than allowing warmer liquid added at the top to sit uncooled. A stirring paddle in each bowl keeps pulpy or mixed drinks homogeneous, which is a genuine operational consideration for juice-based products that separate over time.

From a daily operations standpoint, the machine is straightforward for front-of-house staff to manage:

• Three independent bowls allow different drinks to run simultaneously without cross-contamination
• Removable food-grade bowls and faucets simplify end-of-day cleaning
• Hermetically sealed compressor reduces the likelihood of ongoing maintenance issues
• Stainless steel construction supports durability under regular daily use
• No plumbing connection required, giving flexibility over counter placement

Installation requires only a standard mains electrical supply and reasonable clearance around the condenser for ventilation. Bowls are filled manually rather than via a water line, which keeps siting flexible but does mean a refilling routine needs to be in place during longer service periods — this is worth factoring in for high-footfall events or extended buffet runs.

This model is well suited to hotels, cafés, staff canteens, buffet operations, and event catering settings where a reliable multi-variety cold drinks display is needed without a plumbed installation. It sits in the mid-capacity range, and sites with very high footfall or a need for larger individual bowl volumes may find a higher-capacity alternative more appropriate.

If you would like to talk through whether this model fits your expected service volumes and setup, the team is happy to help you think it through before you commit.

The Ugolini NG Easy is a three-bowl frozen drinks dispenser with a combined 30-litre capacity, designed for venues where slush drinks are a consistent, volume-driven part of the offer rather than an occasional addition. Each bowl operates independently, allowing different flavours or products to run simultaneously from a single unit — a straightforward practical advantage wherever customer choice matters.

In high-footfall locations such as leisure parks, cinema foyers, holiday sites, and busy seaside venues, the machine's ability to sustain output across extended trading hours is the key performance consideration. Ugolini's double-wall bowl construction reduces condensation on the exterior and supports more stable refrigeration efficiency throughout the day. The inclined tank design aids product changeovers and end-of-day emptying, both of which help limit downtime during busy trading periods. Mechanical switch controls, rather than a digital interface, tend to mean fewer operational faults and more straightforward handling by front-of-house staff who may have had only brief training on the equipment.

The main operational advantages in day-to-day use are:

• Three independent bowls run different flavours simultaneously without cross-contamination
• Mechanical controls are simple to operate and less prone to interface faults under repeated daily use
• Double-wall bowl construction reduces surface condensation and supports consistent freezing efficiency
• Removable condenser panel allows routine cleaning without specialist tools
• Shockproof polycarbonate bowls reduce the risk of breakage in busy front-of-house service areas

The unit requires a standard mains electrical supply and adequate clear airflow around the condenser. Positioning in a tight enclosed cabinet or hard against a rear wall without ventilation will impair cooling performance over time and can shorten compressor life. Counter depth and overall footprint should be checked carefully before ordering — a three-bowl unit occupies considerably more surface space than a single- or twin-bowl alternative. Keeping the condenser panel clean is one of the most effective ways to maintain freezing efficiency; blocked condensers are a routine cause of reduced output in slush machines across all makes.

This model is well suited to medium- to high-volume venues where frozen drinks are served regularly throughout the trading day. Where slush is a smaller or seasonal part of the offer, a single- or twin-bowl unit is likely a more proportionate fit. For very high-throughput sites running continuous service from open to close, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity model would better match your volumes.
