Taylor C716 Soft Serve Freezer – Pressurized, Heat Treat & Built for High-Volume Performance
The Taylor C716 is a high-output, two-flavor pressurized soft serve machine engineered for busy ice cream shops, frozen yogurt stores, and high-volume foodservice operations. With its daily heat treat system and pressurized mix delivery, the C716 delivers exceptional product quality while reducing labor and maximizing uptime.
If you want consistent overrun, fast recovery during rushes, and up to 28 days between full tear-downs, the C716 is one of the most efficient soft serve machines Taylor has ever produced.
Two Standout Features of the Taylor C716
1. Daily Heat Treat System (Up to 28 Days Between Cleanings)
The C716’s heat treat cycle automatically heats and cools the mix every 24 hours to maintain food-safe temperatures.
- Extend cleaning intervals to up to 28 days
- Reduce labor costs and nightly cleaning time
- Maintain consistent product quality
- Reduce product waste
- Improve food safety with daily pasteurization
To ensure proper operation, the machine requires correct mix levels in the hoppers before the cycle begins.
2. Pressurized Mix Delivery (High-Output Production)
Unlike gravity-fed freezers, the C716 uses a pressurized air pump to push mix into the freezing cylinders.
- Produces up to 15 gallons per hour
- Maintains consistent overrun during peak demand
- Faster recovery and colder product during rush periods
- Ideal for high-traffic shops where volume matters
Pressurized systems simply outperform gravity machines when speed and consistency are top priorities.
Why Operators Choose the Taylor C716
- Two-flavor + twist capability
- Independent hopper and cylinder per side
- Strong performance during heavy rushes
- Designed for long operating hours
- Perfect for frozen yogurt, soft serve, and specialty dairy products
- Heat treat + pressurized = maximum uptime and consistent quality
Whether you operate a froyo shop doing big weekend numbers or a restaurant that needs constant reliability, the C716 is built for demanding environments.
Taylor C716 vs Taylor C712 — What’s the Difference?
Both are excellent pressurized soft serve machines, but here’s how they compare:
C716 (This Model)
- Heat Treat System: YES — up to 28 days between full cleanings
- Cleaning Labor: Much lower
- Best For: High-volume shops that want to reduce downtime and maximize uptime
- Daily Routine: Minimal (heat treat handles food safety cycle)
- Operating Cost: Lower labor, slightly more mechanical complexity
C712
- Heat Treat System: NO — requires daily tear-down and cleaning
- Cleaning Labor: Higher
- Best For: Operators who prefer traditional daily cleaning or local regulations that require it
- Daily Routine: Full breakdown and cleaning every day
- Operating Cost: Lower mechanical complexity, higher labor
Bottom Line: If your priority is maximum uptime, lower labor, and high-volume output, the C716 is the clear choice. If you prefer a traditional cleaning schedule or want the simplest mechanical setup, the C712 works great — but you’ll clean it every day.
