Section 2: Introduction to the Blender Dispenser with Ice_______________
WELCOME TO AN EXCITING NEW WAY OF BLENDING.
Introducing the Blendtec Blender Dispenser
The Blendtec Blender Dispenser with Ice (BDI) combines some of the best ideas in
blending into one easy-to-operate machine. The result is a machine that provides:
• Fast delivery to large crowds.
• Controlled labor and finished product costs.
• Portability and easy set-up.
• Maximum revenue generated per square foot.
• Multiple drink combinations from one machine.
The Blender Dispenser with Ice is a microprocessor-controlled machine designed to
quickly make precise blended drinks from concentrate or other liquid (including
alcohol), ice, and water. It has three main sections, the blend station, the ice
hopper, and the control board section. The following pages will introduce you to
the most advanced blending system available today.
2.1 The Blend Station: contains a powerful blender motor that is controlled by the
microprocessor in the control board. You can select the speed and duration of
each blend cycle for each drink size.
2.2 The Ice Hopper: contains a double auger system for consistent ice delivery to
ensure that your drinks are the same every time. The ice hopper will hold six
gallons of ice. The hopper is insulated to minimize temperature loss. The hopper
also integrates an interlock safety feature to prevent personal injury – the removal
of the lid will stop the movement of the augers.
2.3 The Control Board: contains the microprocessor that controls all of the functions
of the unit. The control board is utilized to make and program drinks.
2.4 Water Input Line: allows cold water to be added to drinks to help reconstitute
concentrated purees or to help increase volume.
2.5 Drain Line: provides for the removal of melt water as well as minor spillage in
the blend station. Drain line is located on the back of the unit.
