What's the best way to go when it comes to making homemade ice cream to sell (it's hot where I live)?
I've searched tutorials about building an ice cream maker but I almost only find about making ice cream without a machine. Still, it doesn't seem too complicated to directly buy one without trying to replicate it first.

A large freezer and some cheap ice cream machines.

I may have worded this wrong, what I meant is that an ice cream maker doesn't seem complicated enough to not try to make one.
I have no problem spinning it manually if it gives good results in the long run.

You better have some strong arms anon.
Making "crank" ice cream (pic related) will wear you out. That's why they put a motor on it.

You need a freezer or a box with a lot of ice.
Than you need a metal bowl or a bucket smaller than your freezer/icebox.
Than you need something to stirr your bowl-bucket with and a motor to accually do it.
Done

If you use a freezer you'll need a low thermal resistance connection between the bowl and the evaporator. Can't extract ~500 kJ of energy very quickly through convection alone.
If you use an icebox you'll need salt.

Thanks a lot for the replies.

Thanks, but I prefer to make an ice cream machine myself, just for the thrill of it,

I could use the exercise, but I feel tempted to play with motors now.

Thanks, Ice and salt sounds better for now.

This looks really fun. I want to try the first two.

Just buy some ice cream in a tub at the store and throw it inside the machine to make it look real. If you want to make a profit selling ice cream, buying the ingredients is going to make your profits low unless your selling at a high price.

my grandma used to have an old ice cream machine. It consisted of a wooden bucket, a smaller aluminum container, a paddle/mixer, a lid with a hole in it for the paddle, and a motor that the paddle fit into.
You'd put the cream in the container, put the container into the wooden bucket, add ice and 1 tablespoon of salt to the wooden bucket and plug the machine in.
Shouldn't be too hard to make one really.
Ice cream is the traditional way to give people food poisoning when they least expect it. Do your homework.

Damn. Thanks for pointing it out.

You can make a damn good ice cream with cream,sweetened condensed milk and vanila. That is no churn! No machine needed. Be careful about food safety laws when selling. Also liability can be a bitch if you give someone listeria.

Anon, paddle based machines actually work by spinning the drum with the ice cream mix around the paddle which remains stationary. I think this is done for torque reasons but don't quote me on that. If you really want to build one of these machines yourself I would recommend buying a cheap one first so you can take apart its gearbox. Honestly though I'm not entirely sure it's worth trying to build one from scratch seeing as how inexpensive they are.

>machine gets jammed, unplug push prod add more salt. plug in gets stuck in 3 seconds. resume process gets stuck in 4 seconds.
This never happened to me when I used it and I used it a lot. The ice would melt because the salt lowered the freezing temperature and the bucket would tend to turn in the ice water and force exerted from the paddle.
