Operation

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
Ice movement
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 75 ft (23
m) away from the dispenser. Extruded ice is
transported through a tube and pushed to the
storage compartment of the dispenser. When
the bin is fi lled, a bin thermostat shuts the ice
machine off to avoid overfi lling the bin.
