SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Introduction
The Viper system is a state-of-the-art FCB/FUB machine. Viper provides improved drink availability, reliability and reduced
complexity in a compact, reduced footprint machine.
Viper provides the highest quality in drink appearance and consistency while keeping operation and maintenance simple and
straightforward.
The unit consists of multiple freeze barrels that each contain an internal beater driven by an electric motor, a refrigeration
system, a timer-controlled, intelligent defrost system and interconnecting tubing and controls required to dispense the product.
DISPENSED PRODUCT CONDITIONS
Overrun, as Applied to Carbonated Beverages
Overrun Definition
Overrun is defined as product expansion that takes place in the frozen carbonated drink. It is caused primarily by CO2 gas
breakout and secondarily by freezing.
Overrun is a Variable
The percentage or degree of overrun depends on a number of factors. The specific syrup, BRIX, low dispensing volume,
carbonation level in the liquid product and freezing of the product. These items all affect overrun. After these factors have
been considered, desired viscosity (product consistency) adjustment may be made on the unit. The viscosity adjustment
adjusts product texture from very wet to light.
Specific Product Ingredients Affect Overrun
Each syrup has its own specific formulation of makeup. Fruit flavors contain citric acids that colas do not. Colas also differ in
ingredients from one brand to another. Each product formulation has its own peculiarities regarding the way the product
absorbs carbonation and the way it releases carbonation.
