Commonly Asked Questions

What’s the difference between the Taylor C713 and C717?

The C717 adds a heat treatment system, allowing it to safely maintain dairy products for up to 28 days (check health codes) before a full cleaning is required. This reduces labor while ensuring product safety.

How does the Taylor C717 control soft serve consistency?

The C717 regulates viscosity, not just temperature, using sensors that measure the beater motor’s workload. As the mix thickens, the machine automatically adjusts refrigeration to maintain the perfect texture.

How much overrun can I achieve with the C717?

Like most gravity-fed machines, the Taylor C717 can produce 20-35% overrun, depending on mix type and settings. The overrun is controlled by an air orifice in the feed tube, which regulates the amount of air mixed into the product.
