2. Always keep a copy of each machine’s specific bin plan-o-gram at a remote location (office) as
a reference and backup copy.
3.
Each bin size comes in two different bin heights: tall and short. Short bins are approximately ½
the size of the long bins and are located on the right side of the chest freezer above the
compressor. In a typical configuration, there are a total of four short bins. Short bins do not have
to be programmed and can be used for product overflow or storage.
4. Always load product from the bottom-up (so that product will be vended FIFO: First In, First
Out).
5. The standard bin configuration holds a majority of all ice cream novelties. Spacers and inserts
are provided for products such as ice cream cones, sandwiches and Snickers. However, if there
are products that require special bins, contact the
FASTCORP
service dept. for alternative bin
shapes and spacers. When reordering bins, refer to the bin part numbers detailed in the
machine’s bin plan-o-gram.
6. Always keep an extra set of bins and a plastic bin matrix on hand in the event of a meltdown.
Bins can be removed quickly and new bins can easily be installed.
7. There should not be more than a ½ inch gap between the product and bin in any direction. Use
smaller bins or the proper spacers to ensure product retrieval.
8. FASTCORP recommends placing the best selling items on the left side of the freezer. This
shortens the distance the robot must travel, reducing cycle time.
