The product beating process is as follows:
-
The boiler solenoid valve corresponding to the beater to be used for the product
chosen is enabled. The amount of water needed is determined by the
programmed dose for that product and measured out by the volume of water
passing through the volume counter. The water reaches the beater funnel nozzle
through a silicone tube. The nozzle is placed tangentially to the funnel to better
drag the soluble product along.
-
The dosing motor of the container with the required soluble product is turned on.
These motors turn at
65 r.p.m.
it turns the worm that pushes the product through
the elbow to the beater funnel.
-
In the beater funnel, the water and the soluble product are mixed. The water
drags the soluble product and both fall into a recess between the beater elbow
and the beater paddle, which turns at about
16 000 r.p.m.
driven by the beater
motor which works with a current of
220 V
. The centrifugal force created by the
paddle pushes the mixture to the product dispensing nozzles, located in the
rotating arm.
The beater assembly has a gasket made with a flexible material that prevents the
liquid from reaching the motor. It is also fitted with a spinner so that, should the liquid
get pass the gasket, the mixture will be expelled from the beater, ensuring the motor is
not soiled.
The amount of foam in the final product depends on beating time, which should be
adjusted until the desired aspect is achieved. This time should however be sufficiently
long to ensure a uniform mix.
6.9. - Cup dispensing assembly.
The cup storage assembly consists of 5 tubes with an internal diameter of 75 mm.
These tubes are held together by the flanges they have on the outside, resulting in a
compact assembly. The assembly has a star-shaped shaft which is fitted into the hollow
formed by the 5 tubes, which serves to hold the assembly on the cup dispenser shaft.
The total cup storage assembly capacity is 500 cups. The cup dispenser has a
microswitch that detects the presence of cups. When the microswitch is not pressed,
the dispenser’s 12 V geared motor starts up and rotates the assembly to its next
position, determined by the positioning microswitch. if there are cups in the tube, these
fall by their own weight when they reach the hole in the top dispenser plate, pressing
the out of cups microswitch. Should all the tubes be empty, the cup storage assembly
will move 8 consecutive steps to ensure that there are no cups available in any of the
tubes and then will put the machine out of service.
The cup used in each sale is dispensed by the cup dispenser. The cup dispenser
consists of a 12 V geared motor that simultaneously turns 4 wheels. These wheels
release the cup which rests on them while holding back the cups above it (figure
6.09.3).
