GENERAL INSTALLATION DATA

This peristaltic dispenser is equipped for the voltage and wattage indicated on the nameplate
mounted on the back of the unit and is designed for use on alternating current (AC) only.

NOTE: The peristaltic dispenser should not be installed without
the legs provided with the machine. The legs screw into the nuts
on the bottom of the dispenser.

WARNING

DO NOT CONNECT TO DIRECT CURRENT (DC).
GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The SPDE1 heated dispenser is designed to be used with a 9” x 18”
(22.8 x 45.7cm) poly bag with a 1 inch (2.5cm) outlet fi tment. The peristaltic dispenser is
designed to be used with 1/4 inch ID (.6cm) to 1/2 inch id. (1.3cm) tubing with 1/16 inch (.16cm)
wall thickness. SPDE2 slightly smaller.

Loading Product:

1. Turn the dispenser OFF.

2. Unhook the tension spring from the catch.

3. Slide the pump block away from the pump head.

4. The product should be preheated according to the
manufacturer's instructions and should be a minimum
of 140°F (60°C) before dispensing.

5. Insert the new bag into the tray making sure the fi tment
rests on the block track and route the tube around the
rollers.

SPDE2ARB models have a Tube Changing Bracket,

when loading only one bag, clip the tube of the second
bag in the bracket, to prevent product from leaking.

(NOTE: Make sure tube is not twisted.)

6. Hook the top of the bag on the bag hooks, some
models.

7. Place the end of the tube in the slot of the bottom
bracket.

8. Slide the pump block toward the pump head.

9. Hook the tension spring onto the catch.

10. Route the tube through the hole in the tube cover leaving
1/2" of the tube below the cover.

1 1. Dispense a small amount of product to insure the tube

PORTION CONTROL

This dispenser is supplied with a portion control timer. This portion control is based on a time
setting. Variations in product temperature and consistency will affect the dispensed amount.
To insure a consistent portion, use product that is at the correct temperature (145°F to 160°).

SPDE2 models have a Portion Control Label showing approximate settings for portion size
in oz, see Fig 1. The units are pre-set at the factory for 0.75oz, this is a general guideline, and

following procedures still need to be followed to complete calibration.

To set portion:

1. Load preheated product bag into dispenser.

2. Dispense product until there is a steady fl ow.

3. Dispense the product into a clean container and
measure the product to verify the dispensed
amount.

4. Using a small screwdriver, remove the round plug
covering the adjustment knob located on the front
of the unit below the tube cover.

5. Turn the control dial clockwise for more product
and counterclockwise for less product.

6. Repeat steps 3 and 5 until the desired amount
is reached.

OPERATION NOTES

The product should be preheated according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The product should be a minimum of 140°F before dispensing.

The digital temperature readout displays the cabinet air temperature and will fl uctuate during
normal operation. The product temperature should be close to the temperature set point, but
the actual product temperature should be checked periodically to ensure proper operation.

The dispenser will not function correctly if the product is not at the correct temperature.

CHECKING PRODUCT TEMPERATURE

The dispenser should be plugged in and turned on with product in the dispenser for a least 5
hours.

1. Dispense at least 3 inches of product into an insulated cup.

2. Without hesitation, insert the thermometer to the bottom of the cup and stir the product
gently with the stem of the thermometer.

3. Position the tip of the thermometer in the center of the product mass.

4. The temperature should read between 140°F and 160°F.

The dispenser is designed to operate 24 hours a day. Once the product is placed in the
dispenser it should not be removed until the bag is empty or the holding period of the product
has expired.

NOTE: To increase the evacuation,

open the dispenser and pull the
product toward the outlet 3 or 4 times
during operation, see Fig 2.
