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.
