FLOOR MODELS:
•
Floor models are mounted on small wheels for ease of moving for cleaning.
•
The cabinet provided below the bath is for storage of Mash Beakers (pots), lab
equipment and spare parts.
•
The distilled water is either gravity or pressure filled automatically
from the
laboratory’s supply, which is sometimes mounted on the wall. Water level and
circulation in this tank is automatically controlled and the distilled water is
temperature held to /- 0.3 degrees. The tank is fitted with a cold water heat
exchanger coil for quick cooling of the distilled water between mashes. This cooling
can be instigated within the program to have the distilled water cold at the end of the
program. This avoids delays between mashing cycles..
•
A special hand held gun with press switch dispenses the correct volumes of distilled
water into the pots as required both prior to mashing and at the ‘top-up’ time during
the cycle. An alert sounds at exactly the correct moment to remind the operator to
dispense the water. By using the touch screen in EDIT mode, the d/w volumes are
edited into each program to relate to the correct step.
•
The dispensed distilled water volumes in millilitres are normally set inside each
program, however pressing a special button permits a manual setting to override the
programmed volumes without requiring a change to a program.
•
All the larger sized floor mounted machines fit through standard width doorways.
IEC designs and manufactures a range of excellent Mash Baths:
Floor mounting Mash Baths for 16, 20, 25 or 30 Pots with magnetic stirring and distilled
water storage, temperature control and automatic dispensing.
Bench mounting Mash Baths for 6, 9, 12 or 16 Pots with magnetic stirring but without the
distilled water and dispensing facilities, but all other design features are retained.
FITTING THE CONTROLLER:
The machine is supplied with the control housing separate. It is complete with a ‘U’ shaped
support bracket that can be fixed to the top surface of the cover in up to 3 places
(depending on the machine model). The controller can be mounted remotely if desired and
an extra black ‘dress screw’ is provided in the spare parts to fill the unused hole in the cover.
To shift the position of the control unit, unclamp the blue locking knobs on the sides of the
controller and slide the controller from the ‘U’ bracket.
Take the bracket and position it in the preferred position on the cover. Remove the plastic
‘dress screw’ from the hole in the cover and use the blue clamp knob supplied to fix the
bracket to the cover tightly, but so it is able to twist a little if firmly forced.
Take the controller and re-position it into the slots in the bracket and tighten the clamp
knobs firmly. Adjust the controller’s twist and tilt to suit the operator’s viewing.
Take the cable at the back of the machine and engage the multi-pin plug to the larger
socket at the rear of the controller. Tighten the security screws.
NOTE:: Floor models use 2 cables but only one cable and socket is
used on the bench models.
