Used and refurbished commercial ice cream machines for sale in Australia
Soft serve ice cream machines, gelato batch freezers, display freezers and pasteurisers — serviced, tested and in stock now. Buy outright for far less than new.
Buy new, rent, or buy refurbished?
The same machine can reach your shop three ways. This is how they compare for a working gelateria, café or dessert bar.
Buying new
The highest price and usually a factory lead time. You wait, and you pay the full new price for a machine that does the same job as a serviced used one.
Renting
Low to start and easy to approve, but the weekly payment never stops. Keep the machine a few years and you can pay more than the machine is worth, and still not own it.
Buying refurbished
You own the machine from day one, at a price well below new, and it is in stock rather than months away. Certified Refurbished machines carry a 12-month parts and labour warranty, and lease-to-own finance is available if you want to spread the cost.
What our refurbishment actually involves
Stripped and inspected
Every machine is pulled down, cleaned and inspected before we decide whether it is worth refurbishing at all. With over 35 years in frozen dessert equipment, we only take machines worth owning.
100% genuine parts
Worn parts are replaced with the manufacturer's own parts, not generic substitutes, through the Majors Group parts network.
Run and tested
The machine is reassembled and run under load until it makes product to the manufacturer's published figures.
12-month warranty
Certified Refurbished machines carry a 12-month parts and labour warranty, with service support across Australia and New Zealand.
Common questions
Can you buy a used commercial ice cream machine in Australia?
Yes. We hold refurbished, demo and used commercial ice cream machines in stock in Australia, from Carpigiani, Gelmatic, ISA, Gemm and others. Every machine is serviced and tested before it is listed, and you can collect it or have it delivered.
What does Certified Refurbished mean?
The machine has been stripped, cleaned, repaired with 100% genuine manufacturer parts, reassembled and run under load until it performs to the maker's own figures. Certified Refurbished machines carry a 12-month parts and labour warranty.
How much cheaper is a refurbished machine than a new one?
It depends on the model and its age, but a refurbished machine is normally well below the price of the same machine new. Every listing shows the price inc GST and ex GST, so you can compare directly.
Is it better to buy outright or rent?
Renting keeps cash free but you pay for the machine many times over if you keep it for years. Buying a refurbished machine outright costs far less up front than a new one and the machine is yours from day one. We also offer lease-to-own finance if you would rather spread the cost.
What is the difference between a soft serve machine and a gelato batch freezer?
A soft serve machine freezes and dispenses in one continuous action, so you serve straight from the tap. A batch freezer makes a batch of gelato or ice cream that you then scoop or pack. Many shops run both.
Do you deliver across Australia?
Yes. Free pickup from our Brooklyn, Victoria warehouse, metro delivery to the entrance of your premises for a fixed price on most machines, and a quote for everywhere else.
