Setting Viscosity
Viscosity
Viscosity is the term used when referring to product
appearance, temperature, thickness and firmness.
Note: See page 27 to adjust viscosity settings.
Shake
The shake viscosity is measured by monitoring the
gap opening of the beater drive coupling which is
mounted on the output shaft of the gear unit. The
gear unit turns the spring loaded drive coupling. As
the product in the freezing cylinder becomes thicker,
the springs collapse, and the size of the gaps
change.
As the gaps narrow, the Hedlunds (HD’s) increase.
As the product thickens (becomes colder) the HD’s
increase. After achieving a pre-adjusted HD setting,
the refrigeration cycle discontinues.

The factory default setting f or cycle off viscosity is
4000 HD’s. To adjust the serving viscosity, it may be
necessary to raise or lower the HD setting. Adjust in
increases of 100 HD’s at a time. Note: Be sure that
the syrups are correctly calibrated before
determining the proper serving viscosity.
For standard units, the serving temperature of a
flavored shake may range from 24_Fto26_F
(-4.4_Cto-3.3_C).
For Triple Thick Shake units, the serving
temperature may range from 22_Fto24_F(-5.6_C
to -4.4_C)
Soft Serve
The soft serve viscosity is measured by monitoring
the amperage load of the beater motor. The
amperage load of the beater motor is low when the
product in the freezing cylinder is liquid. As the
product freezes (thickens), the amperage load
increases. When the amperage load reaches the
setpoint, the refrigeration cycle discontinues.
The factory default setting (setpoint) for soft serve
viscosity is 2.8 A. The amperage measurement is
determined by monitoring the L1 leg of power being
delivered to the beater motor. To adjust the serving
viscosity, it may be necessary to raise or lower the
amperage setpoint. Adjust in increases of 0.1 amp.
The serving temperature of soft serve product may
vary throughout the day. The serving temperature
may range from 16_Fto19_F(-8.8_Cto-7.2_C).
