Ice Lolly Production
Discover how to produce ice lollies at scale with with precise production lines and leading machinery from Premier Forrester.
Ice lollies are a much-loved frozen dessert, often developed alongside ice cream as part of a broader product range.
For manufacturers, the real challenge lies in balancing speed, hygiene, and flexibility while keeping a close eye on energy use and costs. Consistent results at scale depend on accurate filling, rapid freezing, and reliable demoulding.
We work with you to make sure every ice lolly production line is tailored to your recipes, throughput, and available space, with flexibility to support future product development.
Ice lolly production process
Ice lolly production starts with a flavoured liquid mix, which can be fruit-based, dairy-based, or stabilised for consistency. This liquid is portioned into moulds using filling systems, then frozen quickly to achieve the right texture and crystallisation.
Sticks are inserted before or during freezing, depending on the line setup. Once solid, the lollies are demoulded, sometimes coated or decorated, and moved straight into packaging under controlled cold-chain conditions.

Ice lolly production - need to know
- Blockers and bottlenecks: Inconsistent freezing or weak demoulding can lead to shape defects or product waste.
- Product variations: Dairy, fruit-based, and layered lollies each demand different freezing times, stick placement methods, or coating options.
- Batch size: Small test runs help trial new flavours but raise unit costs, while large campaigns need automation and reliable cold-chain logistics.
