Introduction
The Viper system is a state-of-the-art FCB/FUB machine. Viper provides improved drink availability, reliability and reduced complexity in
a compact, reduced footprint machine.
Viper provides the highest quality in drink appearance and consistency while keeping operation and maintenance simple and
straightforward.
The unit consists of multiple freeze barrels that each contain an internal beater driven by an electric motor, a refrigeration system, a
timer-controlled, intelligent defrost system and interconnecting tubing and controls required to dispense the product.

Overrun, as Applied to Carbonated Beverages
Overrun Definition
Overrun is defined as product expansion that takes place in the frozen carbonated drink. It is caused primarily by CO
2
gas breakout and
secondarily by freezing.
Overrun is a Variable
The percentage or degree of overrun depends on a number of factors. The specific syrup, BRIX, low dispensing volume, carbonation level
in the liquid product and freezing of the product. These items all affect overrun. After these factors have been considered, desired
viscosity (product consistency) adjustment may be made on the unit. The viscosity adjustment adjusts product texture from very wet to
light.
Specific Product Ingredients Affect Overrun
Each syrup has its own specific formulation of makeup. Fruit flavors contain citric acids that colas do not. Colas also differ in ingredients
from one brand to another. Each product formulation has its own peculiarities regarding the way the product absorbs carbonation and
the way it releases carbonation.
BRIX Affects Overrun
Sugar in carbonated drinks is like anti-freeze in water. The higher the BRIX, the greater the resistance of the product to freezing.
Conversely, in products with lower BRIX, freezing takes place at higher temperatures than for high-BRIX products. Thus, BRIX affects
overrun because the amount of sugar in a drink has a direct bearing on the product’s freezing characteristics.
