Operation
Note:
This machine is to be used only for dispensing frozen fries or other approved product.
Any other use may cause injury to personnel or damage to the machine.
The Frozen Fry Dispenser is intended to maintain and dispense frozen fries on demand from two
independent hoppers eliminating the need for staging full baskets of fries. Dispensing and cooking fries
direct from the freezer results in improved fry quality, consistency and yield.
Do not stage full baskets of fries on the bottom tray. The lower tray area should be used for
empty fry basket storage only.
Loading the Hoppers
Note: To achieve optimum fry yield and the
most consistent basket loads, it is important
to use the following technique for loading
frozen fries into the Hopper.
The dispenser will accept 60 lbs (27.3kg) of
French fries, 30 lbs (13.6kg) per hopper
(approximately 5 bags per hopper) Hopper
capacity may vary depending on the product.
Warning: Pinch Hazard. Personnel should
take care not to place hands or fingers near
the Drum inside the Hoppers while this
machine is in operation. Hands or fingers
could be pinched between the Drum and the
Hopper as the Drum turns.
Note: Do NOT shake or drop fries from the
bag or box into the Hopper, this will result in
unnecessary fry breakage.
For each bag or box of fries:
1. Remove the bag of fries from the case. Be
careful not to crush the fries.
2. Open the top of the bag or box completely.
(A partially open bag may retain fries.)
3. Hold the opened end of the bag closed with
your hand and lay it in the Hopper with the
opening toward the side opposite of the
Diverter.
4. Release the opened end of the bag or box.
5. Empty the bag into the Hopper by pulling it
evenly toward the diverter. When adding
multiple bags of fries, alternate the
placement of the bag in the Hopper
opposite of the previous bag. The second
bag of fries should be emptied into the
Hopper with the opening toward the
Diverter, and pulling it evenly toward the
Hopper wall opposite the Diverter.
6. This crisscross loading method assures an
even distribution of fry lengths in the Hopper
and the Baskets.
7. Repeat until each hopper is full.
