Setting Viscosity
Viscosity
Viscosity is the term used when referring to product
appearance, temperature, thickness, and firmness.
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 setting (setpoint) for soft serve viscosity
is 2.8 amps. 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 increments of 0.1
amps.
The serving temperature of soft serve product may
vary throughout the day. The serving temperature
may range from 16_F to 19_F (‐8.8_C to ‐7.2_C).
