How the dispenser works

Follett's 12 series automatic load ice and water dispensers are equipped with Follett's 400 lb (181kg)/day icemaker. In

Follett's continuous icemaking process, water freezes to the inside walls of the evaporator. A rotating stainless steel

auger carries the ice to the top of the evaporator where it is compressed and extruded through an outlet port. The ice is

then pushed through a tube to the storage hopper. When the hopper is full, a bin stat opens and shuts the icemaker off.

When the dispense mechanism is activated, a dispense motor is turned on, causing the wheel to turn. This moves ice to

the dispense chute where it drops by gravity into the container held below the chute.

How the SensorSAFE

Follett's SensorSAFE accessory maximizes sanitation and minimizes the possibility of cross-contamination by eliminating

physical contact between the cup or container and dispenser. Sensors in the panel use reflected infra-red light to detect

the presence of the container and send a signal to a control board which then activates the appropriate components for

ice or water dispensing.

• The SensorSAFE package includes a cleaning switch under the left side of the front cover which temporarily

shuts off dispensing to allow cleaning of the panel and lenses. If the switch is not turned back on after cleaning,

the dispenser automatically resets after two minutes for normal operation.

• SensorSAFE also includes a time limit safety feature which automatically stops ice dispensing after one minute

of continuous dispensing. Dispensing can be resumed by moving the container away from the dispenser and

returning it to the activation zone.

Cleaning and sanitizing procedures

Solution A: Prepare cleaning solution (200 ppm of available chlorine content) of Ecolab Mikro-chlor Cleaner or equal

chlorinated detergent. Solution temperature must be 75˚F – 125˚F

(24˚C – 52˚C).

Solution B: Prepare sanitizing solution (50 ppm of available chlorine

content) of Ecolab Mikro-chlor Cleaner or equal chlorinated

detergent. Solution temperature must be 75˚F – 125˚F

(24˚C – 52˚C).

Follett recommends the periodic cleaning schedule below to ensure the quality

of ice provided. Use only recommended cleaning solutions. Do not use

solvents, abrasive cleaners, metal scrapers or sharp objects.
