Spaceman USA, 6690-CL, Frozen Beverage Machine, countertop

The 6690-CL is a high-volume countertop single flavor frozen beverage machine built for busy operations serving frozen drinks, milkshakes, smoothies, coffee-based beverages, and cocktails. With patented freezing technology and a 7.3qt cylinder, the 6690-CL delivers rapid freeze-down and recovery, producing up to 90 quarts per hour, or 360 (8oz) drinks. Pre-cooling in the hopper refrigerates product before it enters the freezing cylinder, further reducing freeze times while providing food safety approval for storing product overnight, including dairy-based mixes. Its low evaporator temperature also gives the 6690-CL the ability to freeze alcoholic beverages with ease, making it a versatile choice for bars, restaurants, cafés, and high-volume venues.

At the heart of its performance is Spaceman’s patented 100% Controlled Contact Flooded Evaporator, engineered for maximum efficiency and delivering the fastest freeze-down and recovery times in the industry. This innovation ensures smaller ice crystals and the smoothest, creamiest mouthfeel. Continuous improvements in design, guided by operator feedback and R&D, enhance reliability, structural integrity, and long-term serviceability.

The single-piece V3 auger combines the drive shaft and auger into one solid over-molded plastic and steel assembly. This advanced design reduces parts, cuts cleaning time, and enhances product quality by precisely scraping the cylinder walls and controlling product flow for consistently smaller ice crystals. The overhead design allows operators to switch products and hardness levels in under 30 seconds, while a simple 1–6 consistency setting ensures easy control and standardization across multi-unit operations.

Additional operator-focused enhancements include an RGB display with a low-level indicator light that flashes red when product is running low, as well as low-mix freeze protection, which prevents freeze-ups by automatically switching to standby mode when mix runs out. Backlit virtual merchandising provides a high-visibility illuminated display area with interchangeable flavor cards, offering branding and marketing opportunities with dimensions available for custom designs.

The 6690-CL also incorporates a powerful drivetrain and advanced control mechanism, engineered specifically to handle the demands of milkshakes while delivering smooth operation and a rich, creamy consistency with every pour. Reliable, efficient, and versatile, the 6690-CL is the perfect solution for high-volume operators seeking frozen beverages that consistently exceed customer expectations.
