automatic juice vending machine | check before operations

Check the automatic juice vending machine before performing any operations. Here's how to check the fresh juice vending machine before operation.

(1) The connection between fluid conduit and filter (fluid drainage tube)

The filter and the fluid drainage tube should not interfere with the moving fluid conduit, (i.e. the fluid drainage should not block the up and down motion of the fluid conduit); the fluid drainage tube should be in alignment with the fluid conduit to ensure the smooth flow of juice.

Adjustable: the length of the fluid drainage tube, angle and direction of the stainless-steel support under the filter, and the fixing screws of the metal tube of the filter to ensure the alignment between the fluid conduit and the fluid drainage tube.

(2) Regular inspection of the rubber band of the Knife holder

The Inspection of the rubber band can be carried out during any cleaning process. The rubber band must be replaced when fading elasticity of the rubber band, cracks appearing, or about to break. Note that the heat sterilization process must not be conducted on the rubber band; it can only be cleaned with water at normal temperature or with detergent.

The rubber band should be properly positioned on the knife holder, the positioning method can be found in the video tutorial.

(3) The squeezing parts should be properly installed and inspected

A. Whether the knife holder is embedded in the conduit;
B. A convex sphere should be tightened on the bottom of the juice collecting box and should not be in the air;
C. The concave sphere should be fully inserted; the fixing screw should be tightened;

(4) Positioning inspection of the rubbish compartment of the machine

The edge of the front of the rubbish compartment should be inside of the door step by small distance to ensure the proper disposal of the juice remain into the rubbish compartment when a up-moving motion is carried out by the fluid conduit.

(5) The inspection of the cups and the cup holders

The paper cups should be kept in perfect condition, and there should be no shape change of the paper cups, the paper cups should be properly pressed together (to ensure the appropriate distance between the cups). The cups need to be dry at all time.

The cup holder must be installed and be kept straight; the diameter of the cup holders should outsize the cups, the function of the cup holder is to stabilize the cups in order to avoid the cups from shaking.

(6) Clean the spiral conveyor structure

When adding the oranges to the spiral structure, some orange may fall during the adding process, the excess of oranges must be removed to ensure enough space for adding next load; otherwise it would cause “time out” error.

(7) The inspection of oranges

Before the adding process, the inspection of the oranges must be carried out, picking out any oranges that do not meet the quality standard for juice squeezing and store the oranges already passed the inspection in the fruit pallet to be processed, avoid any prolonged storage of the oranges in the fruit pallet.
