Operation
How the dispenser works
Follett’s dispensers are available in automatic load
configurations, fed from one or two Follett remote
icemakers or manual load configurations (using ice
from another source).
In all models, ice is stored below the counter in the
dispenser storage area. When the dispense lever
or button is pushed, the dispense motors are
activated. This causes the wheel assembly in the
storage area to turn, moving ice to the vertical
auger assembly, which carries ice up to the
dispense chute where it drops by gravity into the
container.
In automatic load units, ice is manufactured in
either one or two Follett remote icemakers. These
icemakers may be located up to 20 ft (6m) away
from the dispenser. Extruded ice is transported
through a tube and pushed to the storage
compartment of the dispenser. When the bin is
filled, a bin thermostat shuts the icemaker off to
avoid overfilling of the bin. The icemaker will
restart after 20 minutes if the bin is calling for ice.
Units with integral ice water bath beverage cooling
are equipped with a water bath timer circuit that
activates the water bath pump for 35 minutes
when ice lever or button is activated, or when the
ice water bath warms up and calls for more ice.
Connecting beverage lines
1. Connect syrup and water lines. Non-carbonated water line will be labeled “water”. Syrup lines are numbered
and correspond to the valves as shown in drawing(s) below. Valve one is always next to ice tower.
2. The center 4 valves are pre-plumbed to both carbonated and non-carbonated water lines with the
QuickCARB
™
beverage manifold. Valves can be individually changed from a carbonated to a non-carbonated
flavor with the flip of a lever (see below).
3. Clean and sanitize beverage lines according to cleaning instructions.
