ICE STORAGE AND DISPENSING
Servend dispensers are designed to dispense hard, cube ice up to one-inch square. The ice shapes and sizes listed
below are recommended for dispensing. Warm “Super Cooled” Ice Before Dispensing “Super Cooled” ice is not
recommended for dispensing. “Super cooled” ice is ice that has been stored in freezers below 32
necessary to temporarily use “super cooled” ice, allow the ice to warm at room temperature for 25 to 30 minutes before
placing the ice in the dispenser.
Dispensing compressed flake “nugget” ice in Servend dispensers takes special handling. Most dispensers require
special bin components plus a universal ice management kit. Contact MBE regarding details for your particular
installation.

ROCKING CHUTE ICE DISPENSING
COLD PLATE BEVERAGE COOLING
A cold plate is a block of aluminum with serpentine stainless steel tubes molded inside the aluminum block. The
cold plate is approximately the same length and width
as the bottom of the dispenser bin. Ice sits on top of the
cold plate and cools the cold plate. The stainless steel
tubes inside the cold plate carry carbonated water (soda
water), noncarbonated water (plain water) and syrup to
the beverage valves. While flowing through the stainless
steel tubes in the cold plate, water and syrup are chilled
to serving temperature.
As the customer presses the rocking chute, the arm at
the top left rear of the chute pushes upward on the door
lock. The door opens until it contacts the stops in the
mounting brackets. The plastic arm on the ice chute also
activates the lever of the ice dispensing switch. When activated, the micro switch starts the gear motor. The gear
motor turns the paddle wheel and agitator arm. The paddle
wheel carries ice. Periodic agitation is optional on the MD150 and MD-175 and is standard on the MD-200, MD-250,
MD-302 and MD-402. During periodic agitation, the paddle
wheel and agitator turn for approximately three seconds
every three and one half-hours. The door lock prevents ice
from being dispensed during the agitation cycle.

BEVERAGE VALVES
Post-mix beverage valves are designed to precisely meter the flow of both water and syrup to obtain the proper mixing
ratio. The syrup and soda water components of the post-mix beverage are mixed as they leave the beverage valve.
23
OPERATION
AUTO BAG SELECTORS
These are used on higher volume B-I-B systems where two or more bags of the same product are connected to one
pump and one system. An auto bag selector is essentially a valve that automatically changes from one bag (or series
of bags) to another bag (or series of bags) of syrup as the bags empty, allowing a constant flow of product.
B-I-B
The Bag-In-Box system refers to a plastic disposable bag. The B-I-B normally contains 5 gallons of syrup, however
some locations offer 2 1/2 or 3 gallon B-I-B units. This plastic bag is then held inside a cardboard or other container.
PUMPS
The syrup in a B-I-B system is delivered to the beverage system through gas operated pumps. These pumps
extract the syrup out of the bags forcing the syrup throughout the system.
RACKING
Regardless if you are working on pre-mix or post-mix (B-I-B or Figal) system, a place will be designated for placement
of the product. A rack (or shelf) system affords systematic placement and complete usage of the beverage paid for.
The B-I-B rack allows the boxes to lay properly for syrup dispersal. Please check with your B-I-B syrup supplier. Some
boxes must be slightly tilted down, while others may be in virtually any position. The Figal tank rack keeps the newer
and full tanks organized at one end of the beverage line with the partial tanks at the other.
PRE-MIX & POST-MIX BEVERAGE DISPENSERS
Pre-Mix - Only a small number of systems use Pre-Mix,
usually for temporary or very low volume dispensing where
installation of a carbonator is not warranted.
Pre-Mix means that syrup and carbonated water are already mixed at the bottling plant, then chilled at the dispenser location before being served.
A memory peg for the meaning of Pre-Mix is that the
syrup and carbonated water are mixed together before
leaving the beverage valve.
Post-Mix - Most beverage systems are Post-Mix. Permanent dispensing locations with a mid to high volume
dispensing have Post-Mix systems, such as self-service dispensers in Convenience Stores, Restaurants
and Cafeterias.
Post-Mix means that syrup and carbonated water (or plain
tap water for non-carbonated drinks) are mixed together
in the valve nozzle of the dispenser, just before the finished beverage flows into the customer’s cup.
A memory peg for the meaning of Post-Mix is that the syrup
and water are mixed after leaving the beverage valve.
The two common Post-Mix systems are:
1. Bag-in-Box (BIB) - Most often, five gallons of
syrup is stored in a plastic bag inside a carton.
2. Figal - Most often, five gallons of syrup is stored
in a stainless steel canister.

BAG-IN-BOX SYSTEM
Creating Carbonated Water:
1. Incoming tap water - should be at a minimum dy-
namic pressure of 40 psi and maximum static pressure of 55 psi.
2. Carbonator Water pump motor - Powers the water pump. The water pump motor is part of the carbonator pump deck.
3. Carbonator Water pump - Pumps tap water into
the carbonator tank. The water pump is part of the
carbonator. The incoming water for the carbonator
must be first ran through the pump before connecting to the proper cold plate inlet.
4. Internal/External Carbonator tank - Combines
CO2 gas and tap water to form carbonated water.
The “carbonator” is the carbonator tank, water pump
and water pump motor.
On an ambient system, after being carbonated, the carbonated water is fed from the carbonator to the dispenser
cold plate for chilling. At the beverage valve, chilled water
and chilled syrup are mixed to create the finished beverage. A cold carbonated system pre-chills the water before entering the carbonator tank.
Pumping Syrup to the Dispenser:
5. CO2 cylinder - Holds highly pressurized carbon di-
oxide (CO2). The CO2 cylinder is a steel or aluminum cylinder tank. CO2 gas flows to the primary
pressure regulator.
6. Cylinder pressure gauge - Indicates amount of
CO2 gas in the cylinder.
7. Primary pressure regulator - Lowers the CO2 gas
pressure, to 100 psi, so the CO2 gas will be at the
proper pressure to enter the carbonator regulator.
8. Lowered outgoing pressure - Set for 75 psi.
Gauge indicated lowered outgoing pressure from
the CO2 cylinder after being routed through the primary pressure regulator at 100 psi..
9. Secondary pressure regulator - Lowers the CO
gas pressure before the CO2 gas flows to the syrup
pump. CO2 pressure, 60 to 75 PSI, activates the
syrup pump.
10. Syrup pump - Draws syrup out of the bag-in-box
syrup package. Syrup flows through the syrup lines
to the dispenser for chilling, then dispensing. There
is a syrup pump for each bag-in-box syrup system.
11. Bag-In-Box syrup cartons - Box which contains a
plastic bag, filled with syrup.

2. Primary pressure regulator - Lowers the CO2 gas
pressure, usually to 100 psi.
3. Lowered outgoing pressure gauge - Gauge indicates lowered outgoing pressure from the CO2 cylinder after being routed through the primary pressure regulator.
At a T-fitting, this line then forms two branches: One
branch feeds CO2 gas to the carbonator tank and the
other branch feeds CO2 gas to the Figal tanks.

Pumping Syrup to the Dispenser:
4. Secondary pressure regulator - Lowers the CO
gas pressure, usually at 45-60 psi, before the CO
gas flows to the Figal syrup tank. Diet syrup is usually 10-15 psi.
5. Syrup pump - Syrup flows through the syrup lines
to the dispenser for chilling, then dispensing.
6. Figal tanks - Steel tank which usually holds five
gallons of syrup. Several Figal tanks supply the
dispenser.

Installation and Service Manual
OPERATION
CARBONATION
The purpose of the carbonator is to take water and combine it with CO2 to create carbonated water. Tap water at street
water pressure (minimum 40 PSI dynamic or flowing pressure in a 1/2" water line) must be forced into a tank that
contains CO2 (usually at 100 PSI) by using a pump to raise the water pressure above the CO2 pressure. CO2 is
absorbed into the water as the water passes through the gas. Cooling and agitating the water will allow it to absorb
more CO2 gas. Chilling the mixture before dispensing will assist in locking the carbon dioxide into the water. After
dispensing, the CO2 may be unlocked from the liquid. The CO2 will gradually leave the liquid due to pressure and
temperature changes.
Components
The components of the carbonator are: water pump, an
electric motor to operate the pump, carbonator tank
where the water & CO2 mix, and a water level control.
Operation
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) leaves the storage tank and arrives at the carbonator tank through the gas inlet. Water
supply enters the carbonator pump inlet at regular street
water line pressure (minimum 40 PSI dynamic or flowing
pressure). The water pump increases the pressure of the
water, which allows the water to flow into the carbonator
tank. The CO2 and the water mix together in the carbonator to produce the carbonated water that is then sent to
the soda dispenser.
INTERNAL CARBONATION
The carbonator tank has two inlets and one outlet connection, as well as a relief valve and two conductivity probes.
The water inlet is a double check valve topped with a 3/8"
flared fitting. The carbonator will be pre-plumbed as it leaves
the factory. If the carbonator needs to be serviced or if the
fittings need to be replaced, make sure a nylon washer is
used inside the CO2 inlet fitting to prevent leaks.
The agitation of the water & CO2 together in the tank under high pressure creates the soda water. The quality of
carbonation (percent of CO2 mixed in the water) increases
as the water temperature decreases and exposure time
increases.
The water level in the carbonator tank is controlled by a
water level control in the tank. This control turns the pump
motor off and on to maintain a preset level of liquid in the
tank. The water level control may be electronic probes or
a mechanical float.
level control, which is a circuit board mounted inside the
electrical box that activates the pump and motor. Removing the cover of the electrical box will grant access
to the circuit board. As the control receives a signal from
the conductivity probes, it activates the pump motor,
which will pump water into the carbonator until the water
reaches the high probe.
The conductivity probes are used to control the level of
water inside the carbonator tank. The red probe, or the
“high” probe, is the shorter of the two. When the level
of the water reaches the bottom of the red probe, the
pump shuts off. When the water level inside the tank
goes below the bottom tip of the of the black or low
probe. Both probes are wired to the electronic liquid
The pump motor and electrical box are mounted together
on a single platform. The pump is a standard 125 GPH
brass rotary vane pump. The flared fittings accept the
same swivel/barb connectors used on the carbonator water connections. Also, water enters the pump from the
water source on the side that has the filter.
Notes:
•
Pump Decks for internal carb units must be
within 6 feet of unit.
•
Installation of a carbonator any further away
than the recommended distance is at installer/
owner's risk. Known issues can include, but is
not limited to poor carbonation and/or erratic
carbonation.

OPERATION
ROCKING CHUTE ICE DELIVERY SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
1To properly adjust the switch, first unplug the power
cord to the unit then remove the merchandiser. This
will give you access to the ice delivery switch located on the left side of the rocking chute.
2 Begin by observing the chute by slowly pushing
against the rocking chute. When the ice delivery
switch clicks, measure the distance from the door
stops on the rocking chute bracket to the door. The
distance between the two should be no more than
1/4", but no less than 1/16".
3The left side of the rocking chute has a tab that
pushes up on the ice delivery switch. To adjust it,
use needle nose pliers and bend the arm of the
switch up or down in order to change the point where
the tab makes contact with the switch arm.

Installation and Service Manual
OPERATION
SETTING THE AUTOMATIC AGITATION TIMER
Some MD Series ice / beverage dispensers have an optional timer, which agitates ice stored in the dispenser bin.
The timer is preset at the factory for three seconds ice agitation every three and one half hours. Beginning July,
1999 this timer is not adjustable. To reset the older style timer, use the following procedure:
1. Place a small screwdriver in the adjustment pot
marked “ON” (See illustration at right).
2. Gently turn the adjustment pot counterclockwise
until the adjustment pot will no longer turn. One of
the cross hairs on the dial will be approximately in
the “7 o’clock” position.
3. Turn the adjustment pot clockwise, approximately
to the “10 o’clock” position. This is two notches past
the zero setting and sets the timer for approximately
three seconds of ice agitation.
4. Place a small screwdriver in the adjustment pot
marked “OFF” (See illustration at right).
5. Gently turn the adjustment pot counterclockwise until
the adjustment pot will no longer turn. One of the
cross hairs on the dial will be approximately in the “7
o’clock” position. This sets the adjustment pot at zero
hours of timing between agitation periods.
6. Turn the adjustment pot to the right, approximately to
the “2 o’clock” position. This is approximately nine
notches past the zero setting and sets the timer for
agitation approximately every three and one half hours.
To test the adjustable timer, turn the “ON” time to the
correct three second position. Turn the “OFF” time to
the zero “7 o’clock” position. Do not disturb the dispenser
for 15 minutes. The timer will operate if good.
Dispensers made since July 1999 (99G) have non adjustable timers. To test these timers, unplug the dispenser, wait five seconds, then plug the dispenser in. If
the timer is good, it will agitate immediately upon the
dispenser being plugged in.
115V/220V NON ADJUSTABLE AGITATION TIMER
The agitation timer on this unit is equipped with test pins. This allows you to test the timer by removing the jumper
between the two pins. When the jumper is removed the timer will cycle every 55 seconds if it is operating correctly.
If the timer is wired correctly and does not cycle approximately every 55 seconds when the jumper is removed,
replacement of the timer may be necessary. Make sure to replace the jumper pins when finished.
NOTES: This timer is re-settable, timed agitation every 3.5 hours from last dispense on power supply broken.
Never operate in normal mode without test pins in place, damage could occur.

Customer’s cup presses rocking chute push lever or
customer’s hand presses push button. The clear plastic
arm at the top and the left rear of the clear plastic chute
pushes upward on the door.
The door pivots up from the left and right mounting brackets.
The clear plastic arm at the top and left rear of the ice
chute also activates the lever of the micro switch. When
activated, the micro switch starts the gear motor. The
gear motor turns the paddle wheel and agitator arm.
When the paddle wheel turns, ice is carried from the
bottom of the bin to the dispense point. Ice falls forward
through the open door, into the ice chute and to the
customer’s cup.
The door lock keeps the door shut during periodic agitation. Periodic agitation is optional on the MD-150 and
MD-175. Periodic agitation is standard on the MD-200,
MD-250, MD 250-36, and MDH-302.
During periodic agitation, the paddle wheel and agitator
turn for approximately three seconds every three and
one half-hours of non-use. Since ice is brought forward
during periodic agitation, ice would fall through the ice
dispense door if the door lock was not present.
