How the dispenser works

Follett’s dispensers may be fed by Follett RIDE model ice machines or manually loaded (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 units used with an optional ice machine accessory, ice is manufactured remotely and may be located up to 20ft

(6.1m) away from the dispenser for Maestro ice machines and 75 ft (23m) away from the dispenser for Horizon ice

machines. Extruded ice is transported through a tube and pushed to the storage compartment of the dispenser.

When the bin is lled, a bin thermostat shuts the ice machine off to avoid overlling the bin. The ice machine 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.
