Description: Thickshake Base is a specially formulated dairy based powder mix for use in special Thickshake machines typically found in large franchises like McDonalds.

It is also used in the smaller type bench-top machines like the TAYLOR 430 & 432.

It is then dispensed from the machine at the consistency of a Thickshake. Thickshake flavouring is added through a plastic pump crewed onto a Thickshake Flavouring Bottle. It is then blended with a milkshake spinner for about 6 seconds before it is sold.

Alternatively, the whole batch can be pre-flavoured (into Chocolate or Strawberry for instance) and then dispensed straight into a cup and sold.

Packaging: 9.32kg Net /carton (4 x 2.33 kg sachets)

Sachets: airtight, lightproof, CO₂ flushed food-grade, foil-laminate bags bearing the following information in English: Product Name, Product Code, Net Weight, Mixing Instructions, Ingredients, Manufacturing Date, Best Before Date, Batch Code, Time Manufactured.

Cartons: Custom-printed, export-grade single corrugated ´1C´ super-flute cardboard box, with a label bearing the following information: Product Name, Product Code, Net Weight, Ingredients, Packaging Date, Best-before Date, Storage Instructions & Supplier Details. Then in jet-print, the Pallet Code and Time of Packaging is printed on the reverse side of the carton.

Mixing: Each 2.33 kg bag is added to 7 litres of drinking water in a mixing bucket/container and first whisked to break up any lumps that may form when the powder hits the water, then stirred until all the sugar has dissolved. It is then left (covered) for 10 minutes in order for the ingredients to rehidrate, stirred briefly again (at which point flavouring is added should you wish to flavour the whole batch into say chocolate) and poured into the machine.

Storage / Shelf Life: Storage is below 25ºC (77ºF) with a shelf life of 12 months.

After mixing, it is stored below 5ºC (41ºF) and used within 3 days.

Yield: Each bag (2.33 kg) is mixed 7 litres of water so yield per bag is 9.33 kg  equivalent to ~8.5 litres before freezing and ~9.35 litres after freezing as a Thickshake. 

Yield per carton: 37.32 kg mix or 34 litres unfrozen or 37.4 litres frozen = 113 x 11 ounce (330mL) serves.

 Palletizing:
One standard LCL pallet holds 80 cartons (but 100 cartons when part of an FCL order) and is 1.92 cubic meters  in size (excluding pallet) and weighs 960kg.

Applications:

• MILKSHAKES - pour frozen thickshake into a cup, add shake syrup (milkshake flavouring) and spin for a minimum of 30 seconds. This will break up the ice crystals, liquify the product, mix in the syrup and aerate it. This will give a smooth, creamy consistency.
• THICKSHAKES - pour frozen thickshake mix into a cup, add shake syrup and spin for only 6 seconds to blend the flavouring. This will retain most of the icy crystals and give it a thick, icy consistency.
