Secon 7 - Technical Informaon
4. To ensure a free ow of ingredient powder and granules it is essenal that they are
kept completely dry. This is achieved by extracng steam from the mixing system
using an extract fan. The electrical supply for the LINEA extract fan is 24VDC and for
the COTI machines it is 110V AC.
Note: The fan runs connuously whilst the machine has power.
5. Espresso machines: Coee beans are stored in a bean container and are dispensed
into the CoEx® Brewer via a 110V AC grinder located under the bean container outlet.
The amount of beans dispensed from the container is controlled by the vending
machine controller and may be adjusted via ming constraints set in the Engineers
Program.
7.4 Mixing System
1. The mixing system ulises 24V DC 13000 RPM motor assemblies and mixes ingredient
with hot water from the heater tank.
2. The mixing units are front mounted and secured by a single xing screw. For servicing
the complete unit can be quickly and easily removed.
7.5 Moving Dispense Head: COTI
1. COTI machines are ed with a moving dispense head mechanism. This allows for a
quicker and more direct cup drop and also helps to prevent cross contaminaon of
drinks. The head features two separate dispense posions depending upon the drink
being dispensed.
2. The mechanism is operated by a 24V DC 48 RPM motor. The motor is connected to a
pinion which engages with a rack on the dispense arm. This mechanism is used to
move the dispense head backwards and forwards.
3. A micro switch, ed to the rear of the dispense head chassis detects the home
posion (head withdrawn/not dispensing). An opcal sensor is also ed and this
works in conjuncon with a decoder aached to the rack to determine the posion of
the dispense head.
4. A moulded dispense head mounted at the front of the unit connects the tubes from
the various mixing systems, brewers and hot water to separate dispense nozzles.
Note: Dispense pipe informaon is shown in Secon 9.
7.6 Cup Dispense Unit: COTI
1. Cups (either paper or plasc) are stored in tubes which are located above the cup
dispense unit. The unit incorporates a 24V DC, motor for indexing the turret over the
cup drop unit as required.
2. The cups are separated and ‘dropped’ by a cup ring. The cup ring comprises of ve
splier cams operated by a 24V DC motor which is controlled by the vending machine
controller.
3. The cup level is monitored by an electronic system. An infrared LED (cup sensor
transmier) is posioned in the cup assembly above the cup splier with an infrared
detector (cup sensor receiver) mounted directly opposite.
