Abstract

A slush machine (10) for dispensing a beverage product in a semi-frozen slush state includes a recirculating coil (14) associated with a cooling means, e.g. a glycol bath (18). The slush machine includes a pump (15) which is operable in at least two speeds so that product can be delivered to a dispensing outlet (17) at a convenient dispense flow rate but also recirculated around the system at a slower speed to be able to spend more time in contact with the cooling means (18).
