FAQ'S
Frequently asked questions by customers.
Is it safe?
The JetChill Twin Probe Machine is designed for safe beverage chilling. It injects CO₂ gas directly into drinks, eliminating the risk of ingesting solid dry ice. Its controlled dispensing ensures consistent and safe CO₂ levels in beverages. Proper usage and training further enhance its safety profile, making it a preferred method over traditional dry ice pellets in drinks. the machine is CE and NSF Marked for extra peace of mind.
When it comes to combining safety with innovation, the JetChill Twin Probe machine outperforms traditional pellet systems in several crucial ways.
Elimination of Contamination Risks
Firstly, the JetChill Twin Probe employs sealed, food-grade CO2 cartridges. This minimises any risk of bacterial or other contamination, making it inherently safer. Traditional pellet systems, on the other hand, involve ice makers and storage units that require meticulous cleaning to prevent bacterial growth, a process that is both time-consuming and susceptible to human error.
Precision and Consistency
The Twin Probe variant of the JetChill allows for even more precise chilling, offering dual probes to simultaneously cool multiple drinks. This ensures temperature uniformity, which is crucial for serving beverages that require specific thermal conditions for both taste and safety. Pellet ice can melt and water down the drink, leading to inconsistent temperatures and potential safety risks, especially with certain cocktails.
User Safety Features
Moreover, JetChill Twin Probe machines often come equipped with user safety features, such as safety-lock mechanisms for the CO2 cartridges, ensuring they can only be handled by trained staff. Pellet systems do not usually offer such advanced safety features.
Reduced Physical Risks
The JetChill's automated and sealed system reduces the need for staff to manually handle ice, thus reducing the risk of slips or falls—common safety hazards associated with handling large quantities of ice pellets.
What's The difference Between Jetchill Twin Probe and Dry Ice Pellets
The JetChill Twin Probe and dry ice pellet systems are both designed to chill drinks quickly, but they are fundamentally different in terms of technology, safety, and user experience. Here's a detailed comparison to elucidate the differences between the two:
Technology and Mechanism
JetChill Twin Probe: This machine employs food-grade CO2 cartridges to create a rapid cooling effect. The dual probes allow for simultaneous chilling of two drinks, offering efficiency and spectacle, as a misty 'smoke' effect is created during the process.
Dry Ice Pellets: These are solid CO2 used traditionally in some bars and events. Pellets are dropped directly into the drink to create a similar misty effect while also cooling the beverage.
Safety Features
JetChill Twin Probe: With the Twin Probe system, CO2 cartridges are safely contained, eliminating the risk of handling errors. Moreover, the machine usually comes with built-in safety mechanisms, including safety locks, ensuring that only trained staff can operate it.
Dry Ice Pellets: Dry ice requires careful handling, including the use of gloves and tongs, to prevent skin burns. If not handled or measured correctly, it poses safety risks, including excessive carbonation of drinks or even explosion in a worst-case scenario.
User Experience and Spectacle
JetChill Twin Probe: The dual probes create a visually arresting misty spectacle in two drinks simultaneously, elevating the drinking experience to performance art.
Dry Ice Pellets: While the pellets also create a visual spectacle, it is typically less controlled and may vary from one application to another.
Efficiency and Versatility
JetChill Twin Probe: The system is faster and more consistent, providing uniform temperature across multiple drinks, and requires less manual work from staff.
Dry Ice Pellets: They can be time-consuming to measure and administer, and the cooling effect may not be as uniform. They are also less versatile, as they are unsuitable for certain types of drinks where dilution or excessive carbonation could be an issue.
Environmental Concerns
JetChill Twin Probe: Uses food-grade CO2 cartridges that are often recyclable.
Dry Ice Pellets: These may lead to more wastage and are generally less eco-friendly.
In conclusion, the JetChill Twin Probe offers a more efficient, safer, and controlled experience compared to using dry ice pellets, making it a superior choice for modern bars and events seeking to combine innovation with safety and quality.
How long does the dry ice stay within the chamber without the drink?
Around 20 minutes before it will sublimate.
How long does the glass smoke for?
Around two minutes while chilling the drink down to 3 degrees from room temperature.
What drinks don't work so well in the JetChill glasses?
Creamy thick drinks & milk, carbonated fizzy drinks and some pineapple juices

What is the return on investment if I buy a JetChill system?
The ROI of a JetChill system depends on factors specific to your establishment, such as initial and operating costs, as well as revenue generated by its unique offerings. The system rapidly chills drinks, which can attract more customers and increase sales volumes. It also enhances the customer experience with its visual effects, potentially boosting reviews and repeat business. The quick chilling process improves efficiency, enabling you to serve more customers faster.
Operating expenses include the cost of CO₂ cartridges, routine maintenance, and staff training. The initial investment covers the machine's price and any accessories or installation. These costs should be balanced against the revenue you expect to gain.
The system also offers marketing benefits by differentiating your establishment through its unique visual presentation, attracting social media attention and possibly boosting customer engagement. On-demand chilling could reduce wastage from pre-chilled beverages, offering another cost-saving aspect. Utility bills may also be affected, although the impact is usually minor.
To accurately calculate ROI, you'd take the net profit gained from the investment, subtract the cost of the investment, and then divide by the cost of the investment, multiplied by 100. Conducting a detailed cost-benefit analysis will provide a clearer picture of potential ROI, tailoring the assessment to your establishment's conditions.
Can I lease/get credit or rent the JetChill machine?
You can lease purchase through a third party lease purchase provider. JetChill can provide details of lease purchase companies within the UK.
