Mix Considerations – General
Freezing characteristics are affected by the amount of sweeteners and solids in the mix, called BRIX. BRIX can be
measured with an instrument called a refractometer. A BRIX reading of between 11 and 14 will provide optimum freezer
operation. Mixes with the correct BRIX level will freeze down to a smooth, uniform consistency. Mixes with too high a
brix level will take longer to freezer down and will yield a soft, wet, frozen product. Mixes with too low a brix level will
have larger ice crystals and will have a tendency to dispense slowly or freeze up machine.
Alcohol content affects product freezing characteristics. High alcohol content may prevent the freezer from serving a
product at proper thickness.
NOTE: Always take BRIX measurements using mix that has been thoroughly blended, before it is frozen. Always allow
frozen mix to thaw thoroughly before taking a reading.
For maximum output capacity always pre-chill mix before adding it to the freezer. Pre-chilled mix gives the freezer a
head start on the freezing process and will speed both initial freeze down and recovery time. It is normal for output
capacity to decrease when warm mix is added, or when the freezer is operated in a warm area.
