Taylor Heat Treatment System
Heat Treatment Soft Serve Machines
Taylor heat treatment freezers run an overnight heating-and-cooling cycle that safely holds your soft serve or shake mix for up to 28 days between complete cleanings — not every single day. The result: dramatically less labor, less product waste, and full NSF and local health-code food safety, draw after draw.
NSF-Compliant Heat TreatmentWhat Is Heat Treatment?
Self-Cleaning Soft Serve, Without the Daily Teardown
A conventional commercial soft serve machine has to be disassembled and cleaned every day. A Taylor heat treatment machine pasteurizes the mix inside the freezing cylinder on an automatic overnight cycle, so a full teardown is only needed about once every 28 days.
Built to eliminate daily freezer maintenance
Heat treatment (sometimes called in-machine or batch pasteurization) is a state-of-the-art system that heats the product to a safe holding temperature and then cools it back to serving temperature overnight — all while the store is closed. Your mix stays within NSF and local health-code food-safety limits the entire time.
For a busy stand or restaurant, that means your team walks in, checks the machine, and starts serving. No daily disassembly, no soaking parts, no lost opening hours. Heat treatment freezers directly address the four costs that hurt soft serve operators most: labor, product waste, energy, and repair calls tied to constant reassembly.
Taylor heat treatment models are available with gravity or pump mix-delivery systems, in countertop or free-standing floor configurations, and in single-flavor, twist, or combination soft-serve-and-shake formats.

Why Operators Choose Heat Treatment
Five Ways a Heat Treatment Freezer Pays for Itself
The 28HT system was engineered to reduce the recurring costs that eat into soft serve margins — while making food safety and product consistency automatic.
Lower labor costs
No daily disassembly and cleaning means less staff time on maintenance and a faster, simpler open every morning.
Less product waste
Mix stays safely in the machine overnight instead of being drained and discarded, protecting your food cost.
Reduced energy use
An efficient, timed heat-and-cool program does the work automatically during off-hours.
Automatic food safety
Product is held within NSF and local health-code temperature limits every night — no guesswork for your crew.
Consistent quality
Taylor freezers deliver the same texture and overrun draw after draw, so every cone matches the last.
Fewer repair calls
Less daily reassembly means less wear on seals and parts — and fewer service interruptions during business hours.

Heat Treatment FAQ
Common Questions About Heat Treatment Machines
What is heat treatment on a soft serve machine?
Heat treatment is an automated in-machine pasteurization system. On a timed overnight cycle, the freezer heats the soft serve or shake mix to a safe holding temperature and then cools it back to serving temperature, keeping the product within NSF and health-code food-safety limits without a daily teardown.
How often do you clean a heat treatment soft serve machine?
A complete disassembly and cleaning is typically required only about once every 28 days, versus daily on a standard machine. The overnight heat treatment cycle keeps the product safe in between, which is where most of the labor and waste savings come from.
Is a heat treatment machine NSF approved?
Yes. Taylor heat treatment freezers are designed to hold product within NSF and local health-code food-safety standards throughout the overnight cycle. Requirements can vary by jurisdiction, so we help you confirm compliance for your location.
Which Taylor heat treatment model is right for my shop?
It depends on your menu and space. The C708 and C709 are single-flavor units available countertop or floor; the C716 and C717 add a second flavor plus twist; and the C606 combines four shake flavors with soft serve. We offer a free consultation to match the right freezer to your operation.
