The Taylor Torque Control
Function and Operation
The thickness of the shake product is controlled by a
sensing device called the torque switch. The
refrigeration system is de-activated by a micro switch.
The refrigeration system is activated by a timer.
Thickness of the product in the freezing cylinder is
measured by the torque rotor . The torque rotor is
installed through the center of the beater assembly.
When the beater assembly turns, the moving product
freezes and thickens. As the product thickens, it exerts
pressure on the torque rotor. This pressure causes the
torque arm at the end of the rotor to move to the right.
As the torque arm moves, it forces the operating lever
against a spring which trips a micro switch. This switch
de-activates the coil of a time delay relay. In turn, the
time delay relay stops the compressor, and
refrigeration ceases. When the OFF cycle has
elapsed, the compressor and the beater motor are
activated.
The beater motor must be running to monitor the
thickness of the product and to determine whether
refrigeration is needed. When drawing product, the
beater motor is running and the product thickness is
being monitored. If no product is drawn for long periods
of time, the beater motor will run every 4 minutes for
approximately 9 seconds to verify product viscosity. If
refrigeration is required, the compressor will start. If
not, the beater will stop after the 9 seconds.
Each time the draw handle is raised, the micro switch
is tripped and the beater motor will start.
Adjusting the To rqu e Switch
To serve a thicker shake product turn the adjustment
knob clockwise. This will increase the spring tension,
making it more difficult for the torque arm to move the
operating lever which trips the micro switch.
For a thinner shake product, turn the adjustment knob
counterclockwise.
