How the dispenser works
Follett’s 25 and 50 automatic load ice and water dispensers receive ice from Follett’s 400 lb (181kg)/day icemaker located
in the dispenser base, in the cabinet top or in a remote location up to 20 ft (6m) away. Ice produced is stored in the bin
section of the dispenser. When the dispense lever is pushed, the wheel motor is energized, causing the wheel to turn.
This moves ice to the dispense chute where it drops by gravity into the container held below the chute.
In Follett’s continuous icemaking process, water freezes to the inside walls of the stainless steel evaporator. A rotating
stainless steel auger carries the ice to the top of the evaporator where it is compressed and extruded through a nozzle
on the outlet port. The ice is then pushed through a tube to the dispenser bin. When the storage area is full, a bin stat
opens and shuts the icemaker off to avoid over-fi lling of the bin. The icemaker will restart after 20 minutes if the bin is
calling for ice.
How the SensorSAFE accessory works
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 refl ected infrared 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.
How the chilled water accessory works
Follett’s chilled water accessory uses ice from the dispenser’s storage hopper to chill incoming water supplied to the water
station. The water chiller assembly is located in the dispenser cabinet under the storage hopper. As ice is dispensed it is
automatically fed into the water chiller assembly to chill the water coil inside the assembly.
Cleaning and sanitizing procedures
Solution A:
Prepare cleaning solution of 200 ppm of available chlorine content. Solution temperature must be

Solution B:
Prepare sanitizing solution of 50 ppm of available chlorine content. Solution temperature must be
+75 F – +125 F (+24 C – +52 C).
Follett recommends the periodic cleaning schedule on page 17 to ensure the quality of ice provided. Use only
recommended cleaning solutions. Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, metal scrapers or sharp objects.
