Description

Taylor 342D Frozen Beverage Freezer

Two Flavor | Shakes, Slushies & Frozen Cocktails | Refrigerated Hopper | Floor Model

The Taylor 342D is one of the highest-capacity frozen beverage machines in the industry — a high-volume, two-flavor floor machine built for daiquiri shops, bars, restaurants, and concession operations that need serious output and total beverage versatility. The “D” designation is important: it means this unit includes a refrigerated hopper that maintains dairy-based mix below 41°F, a beater cycle timer, and a ½ HP beater motor — making it the correct choice for operators running milkshakes, frozen coffees, smoothies, or any dairy-based program alongside cocktails and slushies. With dual 7-quart freezing cylinders, dual 20-quart refrigerated hoppers, and approximately 12 gallons of finished product per side per hour, the 342D is built to keep lines moving from open to close.

Key Features

• Two Independent Flavors – Dual 7-Qt freezing cylinders serve two completely independent flavors simultaneously — run two cocktails, two dairy drinks, or one of each
• Refrigerated Hopper (D Model) – Dual 20-Qt hoppers maintain mix below 41°F — required for dairy-based beverages like milkshakes, frozen coffee, and acai; the standard 342 does not include this
• ~12 Gallons Per Side Per Hour – High-volume output keeps pace with peak demand at daiquiri shops, beach bars, festivals, and high-traffic foodservice locations
• Beater Cycle Timer – Included on the D model; allows operators to fine-tune freezing cycles for different product types and consistency targets
• Automatic Consistency Control – Specially designed viscosity control maintains consistent product texture automatically; adjustable clockwise for thicker, counterclockwise for thinner
• Add Mix Indicator Light – Alerts the operator before mix runs out; machine shuts down automatically to protect the cylinder when mix is fully depleted
• Built-In Storage Compartment – Located behind the drip tray beneath the cylinders — useful for storing toppings, cups, or supplies at the point of service
• Optional Blender – Some units include a center-mounted blender for mixing in fresh fruit, toppings, or ingredients before serving — confirm whether this unit is equipped
• Two Locking Front Casters – Keep the machine stable during service and release easily for repositioning or cleaning access
• Requires Two Dedicated Electrical Connections – Each cylinder runs on its own dedicated circuit; confirm your location can accommodate both before purchasing

Best Fit For

• Daiquiri shops, beach bars, and high-volume frozen cocktail operations where output and speed are non-negotiable
• Restaurants and bars running both dairy-based beverages and frozen cocktails from a single machine
• Concession stands, festivals, and entertainment venues needing serious two-flavor frozen beverage production
• Operators who need refrigerated hopper capability for milkshakes, smoothies, frozen coffee, or acai programs

Confirm Before Buying

• Requires two dedicated electrical connections — confirm your location has compatible service for both before purchasing; this is a commonly overlooked requirement
• 230V single-phase — confirm your location has a compatible outlet; this is not a standard 115V plug-in machine
• Air-cooled — requires minimum 3″ clearance on all sides; confirm adequate ventilation at the installation location
• The standard Taylor 342 does not include a refrigerated hopper — if you need dairy capability, confirm you are purchasing the 342D specifically
• If you need a countertop unit or lower volume output, the Taylor 432 or 430 may be a better fit — Slices can help assess the right match
