"Bin Full" Detection System - Follett HCC700A Operation And Service Manual

"Bin full" detection system

The Follett Horizon ice machine incorporates a unique "bin full" detection system that consists of the shuttle
and actuator. The shuttle incorporates a fl ag and switch. Referencing the fi gure below, the normal running
position of the fl ag is down, and the switch is closed. When the bin fi lls to the top and ice can no longer move
through the tube, the machine will force the shuttle fl ag up, opening the switch and shutting the machine off.
The shuttle actuator, located above the ice bin allows the ice to curl up within it when the bin is full. In this way,
there are no loads generated that would tend to lift off the lid of the bin.
