Page 41: Dispensed Product Throughput
Programmed Defrost Scheduling The control system in the Viper system includes a function to automatically defrost product in the barrel at programmed intervals based on the viscosity of the product. Programmed defrosts are scheduled frequently to ensure that product quality within the barrel is maintained. -
Page 42: Viscosity Setting
Cornelius recommends that the viscosity settings be set at the lowest possible setting to achieve the desired drink qual- ity. In most typical installations using a sugar-based syrup, acceptable drink quality can be achieved by programmed vis- cosity settings in the range of 3-5 for Viper. -
Page 43: Summary
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE UMMARY There are no daily maintenance procedures required on the Viper unit other than normal cleanup of spills or over- spray and emptying the drip tray. Normal equipment maintenance intervals are listed in Table 36. It is recom- mended that a preventative maintenance procedure be performed every six (6) months. -
