Concordia XPRESS - Verifying Proper Syrup Flow

Section 9: Flavor System 3033-009B
9-6 Concordia Xpress Technical Support Manual
2900-300B
Milk volume is reduced by 5 percent per shot of flavor. If one shot of
flavor is added to a drink, the milk volume is adjusted to 95 percent of its
normal setting, and 90 percent for two shots of flavor. When the amount
of flavor is altered, adjust the milk volume in 1 percent increments.
NOTE: It is not possible to change the milk pour rate for a single flavor;
making a change to one setting will affect the pour times for all drinks.

Verifying Proper Syrup Flow
It is important to verify proper syrup flow. Properly flowing syrup will flow
in an uninterrupted stream.
Possible causes of bad pours include:
 Flavor box exposed to temperature below 32F (0°C)
 Flavor box exposed to temperature above 110F (43°C)
 Loose nozzle and/or connector
 Damaged connector o-ring
Symptoms of flavor over-exposure to heat or cold:
 Flavor stream has cloudy appearance
 Flavor stream has appearance of crystallization
 Flavor dispensed has a weak flavor
 Burst peristaltic pump tubing
NOTE: There should never be any particles floating in the product.
Particles generally indicate that the flavor tube is contaminated and that
the flavor tube needs to be cleaned and primed.
NOTE: Syrups must not be used if they are, or have been, frozen. If the
syrups have been at a temperature lower than 32°F (0°C), then they are
unusable. Do NOT use any syrup that has been frozen.
Once the desired flavor button is pressed, the flavor will be dispensed for
the time indicated.
