TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
3.2 U e allowed
The distributor is to be used exclusively for the
dis ensing of drinks, re ared mixing foodstuff
with water (by infusion as far as concerns coffee).
For this ur ose use roducts that the
manufacturer has declared suitable for the
automatic distribution in o en containers.
The drinks flow down into s ecific lastic cu s
automatically dis ensed by the machine.
The sugar stirring s oon is dis ensed
automatically.
The drinks must be consumed immediately and
in no case are to be ke t for subsequent
consum tion.

3.4 Ba ic operation concept
During the normal functioning the distributor is in
standby status. Introducing the necessary amount,
according to the re-set rice and after ressing
the key relative to the desired drink, the drink
dis ensing cycle is activated: It can be divided in
different rocesses:
CUP DISPENSER
_It is the first o eration that the distributor
activates (exce t for the without CUP
dis ensing).
_The nozzle su ort movement motor is
engaged to move the su ort back to allow
the cu to fall (fig.5).
SUGAR AND SPOON DISPENSER
Where set and requested, an amount of sugar
that is re-set to the maximum dose is dis ensed
with the ossibility to sto in corres ondence to
the desired dose.
The dis ensing rocedure occurs according to
the following hases:
_The geared motor activates the helicoidal
screw conveyor of the sugar container,
dis ensing the desired quantity into the roduct
chute (fig.7).

_The motor inside the cu dis enser moves the
scrolls to se arate and make the cu fall into
the s ecial su ort fork inside the rece tacle
(fig.6).
_The chute drive motor is engaged and allows
sugar to be unloaded into the cu (fig.8).

INSTANT DRINKS
This rocess is activated after dis ensing cu ,
sugar and s oon.
According to the drink ty e requested and
distributor model (single or double boiler), more
rocesses described here below can be activated
to re are the drink.
_If resent, the motor-mixer is activated (fig.10).
_In models with single boiler for es resso coffee,
the instant solenoid valve, fixed to the coffee
boiler, is engaged in order to deliver the
_In models with double boiler, the instant
solenoid valve that is fixed to a boiler not
under ressure (fig.12). is duly activated in
order to deliver the required quantity of water.
In this case, water flows by dro .

ESPRESSO COFFEE
This rocess occurs after dis ensing cu , sugar
and s oon.
_The grinder is activated until it roduces the
dose of ground coffee set by the doser (fig.14).
_The doser electromagnet is activated, causing
the o ening of the door and the consequent
fall of the coffee into the brew chamber (fig.15).
_The rotation grou geared motor starts-u ,
brings it into the dis ensing osition and
simultaneously com resses the ground coffee
(fig.16).
_The um that delivers the required amount of
water -controlled by a s ecial electronic device
(volumetric counter)- starts u , withdrawing
the water from the coffee boiler(fig.17).
