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 the bin. The icemaker will restart after 20 minutes if the bin is calling for ice.
Units with integral ice water bath beverage cooling are equipped with a waterbath timer circuit that activates the
water bath pump for 35 minutes when ice lever or button is activated, or when the ice water bath warms up and
calls for more ice.
