Taylor Heat Treatment
Soft Serve Machines
Shop Taylor soft serve ice cream machines with automated heat treatment — C708, C709, C716, C717, and C606 models. One 28-day cleaning cycle replaces nightly disassembly. Sold, installed, and serviced exclusively across Upstate New York by Taylor Upstate.
Clean Once Every 28 Days.
Not Once Every Night.
Taylor heat treatment machines run an automated overnight cycle that heats the mix inside the freezing cylinder to a temperature high enough to pasteurize it — killing bacteria and resetting the food safety clock — then cools it back down to serving temperature before opening. The machine cleans itself, continuously, without any staff involvement. Full disassembly cleaning is only required once every 28 days instead of every single night.
- Automated pasteurization cycle runs every night with no staff involvement
- Full teardown cleaning required only every 28 days — not nightly
- Eliminates 20–40 minutes of nightly disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly
- Available in single flavor (C708, C709) and twin twist (C716, C717) configurations
- C606 combination machine: soft serve + shake from one unit
- Same throughput specs as standard machines — no performance trade-off
What Nightly Cleaning Actually Costs Your Business
A standard soft serve machine requires 20–40 minutes of disassembly, washing, sanitizing, and reassembly every single night of operation. At $15/hr minimum wage, that's $75–$150 per month per machine in direct labor cost — not counting the management overhead of ensuring it gets done correctly every night. Heat treatment machines eliminate that cost entirely. The 28-day full cleaning takes about the same time as a nightly clean but happens only 13 times per year instead of 365. For operations with multiple machines or lean late-night staffing, the labor savings alone often justify the price difference over a standard machine.
Standard machines (C152, C707, C706, C712, C713, etc.) require nightly cleaning — manageable for well-staffed operations with consistent closing routines. Heat treatment machines (C708, C709, C716, C717) are the right choice when nightly cleaning compliance is inconsistent, staffing is lean at close, or the operation doesn't have a designated person responsible for cleaning. Taylor Upstate helps you evaluate which is right for your specific staffing situation. Call 800-678-2956.
Consistent quality every serving — made possible by automated heat treatment overnight

Taylor C708, C709, C716,
C717 & C606 Models
Five heat treatment models covering single flavor, twin twist, and combination configurations — all with the same 28-day cleaning cycle and full Taylor Upstate installation, training, and service support across Upstate New York.
Taylor C709
Single Flavor · Countertop or Floor · Gravity · 25+ Servings · 284 Cones/HrThe Taylor C709 is the heat treatment version of the C707 — same 10-gallon hopper, 20 quarts, 25+ consecutive servings, and 284 cones per hour, but with an automated pasteurization cycle that eliminates nightly disassembly and cleaning. Full teardown required only every 28 days. The right choice when nightly cleaning compliance is a challenge or late-night staffing is lean.
Taylor C708
Single Flavor · Countertop or Floor · Gravity · Unlimited · 426 Cones/HrThe Taylor C708 is the highest-capacity heat treatment single flavor machine in the Taylor lineup — 15-gallon hopper, 20 quarts, unlimited consecutive servings, 426 cones per hour, and no nightly cleaning required. The ultimate single flavor machine for high-volume operations where maximum throughput and minimum labor overhead are both non-negotiable.
Taylor C717
Twin Twist · Countertop or Floor · Gravity · 35+ Servings · 284 Cones/HrThe Taylor C717 is the heat treatment twin twist machine for mid-volume operations — 10-gallon hopper, 20 quarts per side, 35+ consecutive servings per side, 284 cones per hour. Two independent flavors plus a classic twist with no nightly cleaning required. The right choice for ice cream shops and restaurants running a twin twist program where consistent nightly cleaning is a staffing challenge.
Taylor C716
Twin Twist · Countertop or Floor · Gravity · Unlimited · 426 Cones/HrThe Taylor C716 is the highest-capacity heat treatment twin twist machine — 15-gallon hopper, 20 quarts per side, unlimited consecutive servings, 426 cones per hour. Two independent flavors plus a classic twist with no nightly cleaning required. Built for high-traffic ice cream shops and QSR operations where twin twist volume is continuous and labor overhead must be minimized.
Taylor C606
Combination Machine · Soft Serve + Shake · Air · Unlimited · 426 Cones/HrThe Taylor C606 is a combination machine — one unit delivers both soft serve and milkshakes from a single 30-gallon hopper. 20 quarts per side, unlimited consecutive servings, 426 cones per hour, air cooled with heat treatment. The right machine for QSR operations and ice cream shops running high-volume shake programs alongside soft serve without the footprint or cost of two separate machines.

The Business Case for
28-Day Cleaning
Heat treatment machines cost more upfront than standard machines. Here's the math that shows why they often pay for themselves — and why they're the right choice for specific operations in Upstate NY.
30–40 minutes of nightly cleaning eliminated. At $15/hr, that's $135–$180 saved per month per machine in direct labor alone.
Health code violations from improperly cleaned soft serve machines cost far more than the price difference between a standard and HT machine.
Automated cycles run exactly the same way every night. No skipped cleanings, no rushed jobs — consistent product quality every service period.
Seasonal and lean operations without a dedicated closing staff member benefit most — no one has to stay late to clean the machine.
Each additional standard machine adds 30–40 more nightly cleaning minutes. Heat treatment eliminates that multiplication entirely.
No throughput penalty. C708 and C716 deliver the same 426 cones/hr as their standard counterparts — heat treatment adds zero production cost.
The Right Choice for
These Upstate NY Operations
Heat treatment machines aren't right for every operation — but for the operations below, they're often the only machine that makes sense.
Short-Staffed or Lean Operations
Ice cream shops, restaurants, and food trucks where closing is handled by one person who's also responsible for a dozen other end-of-day tasks. Nightly soft serve machine cleaning either gets skipped, gets done incorrectly, or takes time away from other critical close tasks. Heat treatment eliminates the choice.
High-Turnover QSR Operations
Quick service restaurants with frequent staff turnover where training every new closer to correctly disassemble, clean, and reassemble a soft serve machine is a recurring operational burden. With heat treatment, there's nothing to train — the machine handles it automatically every night.
Multi-Unit Operators
Operators running two or more locations across Upstate NY where a district manager can't be present at every close to ensure cleaning compliance. Heat treatment machines provide consistent cleaning compliance regardless of which staff member is on duty at any given location on any given night.
Seasonal Adirondacks & Finger Lakes Venues
Campgrounds, lakefront stands, and seasonal operations in the Adirondacks, Finger Lakes, and Thousand Islands where high summer demand meets thin late-night staffing. Heat treatment machines keep the machine consistently clean and compliant through the peak season without adding closing labor.
Operations With Previous Cleaning Compliance Issues
Any Upstate NY operation that has received a health department citation or concern related to soft serve machine cleaning. Heat treatment eliminates the human variable entirely — the machine cannot skip its own cleaning cycle, and the food safety log is automated and documented.
High-Volume Ice Cream Shops Running Multiple Machines
Operations running two or three soft serve machines simultaneously where nightly cleaning for each adds up to 60–90 minutes of labor every single night. At two or three machines, heat treatment ROI is straightforward — the labor savings over a single season often offset the price premium entirely.
