Ugolini Minigel Plus 3 18 Ltr Ice Cream Dispenser

The Ugolini Minigel Plus 3 is a countertop soft-serve dispenser designed for commercial food service operations that want to offer consistently textured ice cream, cold cream, sorbet or slush as part of their dessert or drinks offer. It operates as a batch-freezing and dispensing unit in one, holding product ready to serve at the correct temperature throughout the service period.

In a busy service environment, consistency matters as much as capacity. The Minigel Plus 3 uses an enhanced mixing system that produces a denser, firmer product than simpler machines, which helps maintain portion quality whether you're serving the first glass of the day or the last. The tilted bowl design makes emptying and product changeover more straightforward, which is a practical advantage during back-to-back service or when switching between flavours.

A few operational features are worth noting for day-to-day use:

• Backlit display with clear product temperature readout for at-a-glance monitoring during service
• Glass detection sensor that triggers dispensing automatically, reducing waste and improving consistency
• Patented double-wall bowl with energy-saving anti-condensation design helps manage running costs
• Patented tank locking system keeps components secure during operation and cleaning
• Compact countertop footprint suits sites where worktop space is limited

Because this is a countertop unit, it is well suited to cafés, dessert bars, ice cream parlours, soft-play venues, and QSR-style operations where a single flavour or a small rotation is being served. It is not intended for high-volume production or multi-flavour operations running simultaneously — for higher-output sites, a larger or multi-bowl model is likely to be a better fit.

If you are unsure whether this machine matches your expected service volume, flavour rotation, or counter setup, the team is happy to work through the options with you before you commit to a purchase.
