MACHINE DESCRIPTION

Cotton Candy is made by melting sugar using an electrically heated element which is rotating at high speed. The
melted sugar is forced through a floss ring by centrifugal force forming very fine strands of sugar floss (also known
as Cotton Candy). The floss is then collected on a stick rotating in the floss stream.

The entire mechanics are contained within a steel cabinet mounted on lockable wheels. The front door is hinged on
the right-hand side to allow the operator to clean and re-stock the paper sticks while being secured with three
individual locks on the left-hand side. The rear door also opens to allow access to the back portion of the machine
where the sugar hopper, control P.C.B. volume control and spin speed control are located.

The customer will insert money into a MEI 2700 bill acceptor using $1 OR $5. There is also the option of the MEI
2700 with a built in recycler which has the facility of accepting $1, $5, $10 and $20 and giving change to the
customer in $1 bills. Coins may also be inserted using a coin mechanism located below the bill acceptor. When the
proper amount of money equals vending price, the start button will commence flashing and indicate the machine is
ready to operate. Meanwhile, the display mounted on the outside will indicate the status of the machine and
instructions for its use.

When the start button is pressed, the following activities will begin…

A) The floss spin head starts to rotate, eventually building up to between 5000 - 6000 RPM.

B) The collection bowl (see fig 2 item 7) rotates counter clockwise in a circular motion.
The heater element is turned on.

C) The gripper head is rotated into a horizontal position allowing a stick to slide into it from the hopper. See
Fig 7. This stick is moistened along its length by approximately two drops of water dripping from a nozzle
located directly above the stick while being fed into the gripper head.

The stick rotates into a vertical position, secured by a small electrically operated D.C. solenoid (fig 7 item 1)
mounted on the gripper head. The flap doors (fig 6) first open upwards and the stick is then lowered into the bowl.
As it descends, the gripper mechanism is activated and holds the stick firmly, the DC solenoid is deactivated and the
gripper head begins to slowly rotate.

At this time, a precisely-measured amount of sugar (approx 25 grams), sufficient to make an individual serving of
Cotton Candy, is fed to the spinning floss head which is now pre-heated.

Cotton Candy (in the form of Floss) begins forming in the food grade plastic collection bowl (fig 2 item 7).

The moistened stick rotates, allowing a stream of hot Cotton Candy to attach to it. The cotton candy is then wound
around the stick forming a cone or cylinder of floss.

After approx. 60 seconds of operation, the motors and heating elements are shut down and the stick now containing
the Cotton Candy is raised up from the bowl into the vend chamber (fig 2 item 5). When raised to a sufficient
height, the flaps close downward and form a flat serving surface in the vend chamber which now covers the bowl
from view. At this time, the gripper head opens and the Cotton Candy is released into the vend chamber for
collection by the customer.

1(b)

The customer is now able to open the Vend Door as the interlock solenoid (fig 4 item 3) is now de-activated. The
customer slides the vend door slides upwards and reaches into the vend chamber to get their Cotton Candy. When
the door is released, it again closes into a locked position after 3 seconds.

Information regarding number of credits, price per vend, etc is shown on the front door display when the machine
has completed one cycle.

All the power devices operate on 120 AC Voltage, which is enabled via a heavy duty relay only after the start button
is activated and is disabled when either front or rear door is open.

The system is controlled and sequenced by a custom micro processor unit (fig 14 item6) and housed in a ventilated
compartment.

In the event that the machine fails to complete a task, it will “Time Out” and the complete system will shut down. It
can only be restarted by a system reset. A diagnosis of the problem will be shown on the front door display.
NO attempt should be made to restart the machine until the cause has been investigated and corrected by an
Authorized Service Technician.

NOTE:
To protect the vend door solenoid coil, the vend door “Times Out” after 25 seconds if it has not been opened and
closed during this time. The door cannot be opened by hand. The locking bolt may be opened manually by inserting
a paperclip or pin into a small hole (approx 1.5mm) to be found on the front door. See photo below.

Insert pin or paper clip

to depress solenoid
plunger. Lift vend door
while simultaneously
withdrawing the pin.

6.1 CLEANING
Cleaning the Cotton Candy Bowl
Weekly
 Before any cleaning is carried out insure the machine is switched off at the mains.
Unlock the front door, Undo the 3 black thumb screws that hold the bowl lid in place, lift the central sugar
feed tube and remove the bowl lid.
 With the central sugar feed tube still held up remove the white plastic cotton candy bowl.
 The cover plate and bowl need to be washed using hot water, rinsed, sanitized, and completely dried using
paper towel to remove any excess water.
 Replace the bowl first by lifting the central sugar feed tube and ensuring that the 2 lugs on the bottom of the
bowl are fitting into the relevant holes on the plate which the bowl sits.
 With the central sugar feed tube still lifted now replace the cover tray on top of the bowl and replace the 3
black thumb screws, ensuring the sugar tube is lowered so it sits just inside the main spin head.
 Fill the sugar container as required using sugar from the stock supplied and replace lid.
 Use only hot water to wash the shelf to remove the build up of sugar, then wipe dry with paper towel to
bring back the shine.
 Wash and polish the glass panels inside and out on the front door, again drying using paper towel.

6.2 Cleaning the Vend Chamber

Daily
 Before any cleaning is carried out insure the machine is switched off at the mains.
 Using a small pin or paper clip, insert into the small hole located in the on the front door decal. See page 5.
Locate this hole by looking at the outside of the door opposite the vend door solenoid, (Fig 4 item 3) inside
front door, then slide the clear vend chamber door up.
 Using hot water wash the chamber and stainless steel vend doors; ensure they are completely dried with
paper towel.
 Open the main door and wipe clean the inside of the vend chamber plastic door, again drying with paper
towel.

Close the door and re lock. Inspect the external casing of the machine and wipe clean as necessary.

6.3 It is also very important to clean the extraction fan in the rear door. Open the back door and brush off any
surplus sugar with a stiff brush, then wipe with a slightly damp cloth (not dripping wet).

6.4 Cleaning the gripper head is essential to ensure sticks are gripped tightly when making cotton candy and
released properly when finished. Use a dry bottle brush only (NOT WET CLOTH) to clean the gripper
head periodically. Examine the gripper head and the pusher thoroughly for any deposits of sugar and
remove by brushing. It is important that moisture be kept away from these moving parts or syrup could
form and impair operation. Dry off thoroughly with cloth when clean.

6.5 Need for cleaning is dependent on the level of use. The quality of the product is reduced if there is
a buildup of deposits on the bowl and crystallization has occurred.

MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS

The up & down movement of the central apparatus which collects and feeds the ‘paper stick’ is controlled by an
induction motor driving a chain. The direction of motor rotation is reversed by application of the drive voltage to
alternate ends of the motor winding; i.e. the application of the drive voltage to one end drives the motor up whereas
application to the other end drives the motor down.

The motor is stopped precisely by the joint action of removing the drive voltage the vend arm coming to rest against
the mechanical stops.

For manual movement of the vend arm rotate the vend arm motor shaft by hand.

PROXIMITY DETECTORS
The signals indicating the stop positions for the gripper head are provided by the proximity detectors marked A, B,
& C on Fig 5 . These are activated by a magnet. These are factory set and normally require no adjustment.

There are three important positions for the gripper head to reach, which require periodic checking to ensure trouble
free operation: these can be checked and readjusted by using the test procedures in section 8A

Pre-setting checks and adjustments

CHAIN ADJUSTMENT

The chain can stretch with repeated use and could eventually cause improper alignment, particularly at the point of
stick feed and swinging arm engagement.

Ideally the chain should have about 10mm of flex when pressed inwards in the center.

To tighten: loosen the 6 screws,3 on either side of the top of the central column (fig 7) with an Allen Wrench, then
turn the 2 top screws (10mm hex) on either side of the chain in a clockwise direction an equal amount.

Tighten the 6 screws (3 each side) once again with an Allen Wrench. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE CHAIN.

Setting stick holding tension

Wind down the vend arm approximately 2 inches from the home position using the protruding vend arm motor shaft
to the left of the control panel.

Remove the LED panel from the front of the vend arm by removing the 2 screws and disconnecting the wiring
connector.

Feed 60mm of the stick into the gripper head from underneath.

Operate the locking mechanism by gently pushing down by hand until it engages.

The stick should be gripped just as the locking mechanism engages.

The stick should be held firm enough so it requires a gentle pull the remove it from the gripper head.

Page | 35
NB. The gripper head tension needs to be sufficient to hold the stick firmly whilst making the cotton candy, and to
lift the cotton candy from the bowl even if it contacts the vend chamber on the way up.
On the reverse ensure that the tension is not too great, this can be checked by looking at the paper stick where it is
held by the gripper head. No marks or tears should be left on the stick.

To lessen the gripper head tension, loosen lock nut and set screw (fig10a). Screw in adjusting wheel (fig 10a item 4)
counter clockwise (looking from the top) a quarter of a turn and re check tension. Repeat this operation until the
tension is correct. Tighten set screw and lock nut.

To tighten gripper head tension, loosen lock nut and set screw. Screw out adjusting wheel clockwise (looking from
the top) a quarter of a turn and re check tension. Repeat this operation until the tension is correct. Tighten set screw
and lock nut.

The stick should drop out of the gripper head under its own weight when the engage arm fig10a item 2 is released
and there should be no evidence of the stick being marked by the gripper head.

Stick feed position (see fig 7)

Ensure the top mechanical stop is backed off sufficiently to allow the following steps.
1 - Move the vend arm upwards by hand, using the protruding motor shaft, (fig 12 item 9) until the gripper head has
moved through 90deg and the middle of the gripper head is aligned with the stick exit point of the hopper.

2- Ensure the pivot rod (fig 7 item 3) is long enough to compress the spring loaded plunger by 1-3mm pushing the
gripper head against the pivot arm stop.

3-Insert cotton candy stick from the left hand side of the gripper head.

4- The stick should slide perfectly from the gripper head to the stick hopper with no resistance or binding.
The stick should be horizontal and level with the aluminum bar in the stick hopper.

Adjustments

The pivot rod may be lengthened or shortened using the adjuster, see fig 7 item 4.

Use the gripper head angle adjusting screw to align the gripper head horizontally fig 9 item 3.

The stick hopper can be moved backwards and forwards by loosening the 4 retaining screws underneath the shelf, to
achieve the required alignment. The 2 rear screws are accessed through holes in the lower cover.

Pull the stick out from the left hand side of the gripper head and check that it is aligned in the middle of the slot cut
out in the shelf to allow the stick to pass through.

Tighten gripper head angle lock nut and stick hopper retaining screws.

Adjust the top mechanical stop until it contacts with the hexagon bolt head in the top of the vend arm assembly.
Tighten the lock nut. See fig 11.

Setting the lower vend arm position (see fig 10a and 10b)
Enter test 3 - The gripper head takes up a vertical position and moves downwards until stopping at a point within the
bowl for the floss pick up. The bottom of assembly should now be ideally between 10mm from the shelf and the
stick grip mechanism should be engaged. It is important that the engage arm is in the locked (engaged) position
otherwise the stick will be dropped when the gripper head is withdrawn from the bowl.

Page | 36
Adjustments

1 - Move the vend arm by hand to approximately half way through its downwards travel.

2 - Cut a stick 80mm long, wrap 2 times around with masking tape around one end and insert into the Gripper head
60mm from the right hand side, and tape last. (This device stays in the gripper head for the remainder of the set up
procedure, and is to stop the gripper head from distorting when being operated whilst setting the lower stop).

3 - Move the vend arm down by hand until the lower mechanical stop comes into contact with the shelf At this point
there should be a 10mm gap between the vend arm retaining block (fig 10b item 5) and the shelf. The lower
mechanical stop is a hexagon screw with a locknut. This should be preset to 10mm and should not require
adjustment.

4 -With the vend arm in this position adjust the engage arm adjuster (Fig 11b ) by loosening the M8 locknut (13mm
wrench), and turning the adjuster from underneath the shelf (screw driver slot), until the engage arm detent just
moves to the locked position. Turn the height adjuster one more turn clockwise (looking from underneath) from this
position and then tighten the locknut. Check from the front that there is 1 to 2mm gap between the engage arm
detent (Fig 10a item 1) and the engage arm (Fig 10a item 2).

NB. When stick is held by locking mechanism and turning it should be possible to apply gentle pressure with your
thumb and finger to the stick and the stick to continue to rotate and start to slow the rotating motor down but not
stalling it)

Setting the home position See fig 8 & 11

1 - Set the home position proximity detector B so that the vend arm stops just after the engage arm mechanism is
released and the stick is dropped.

NB A rough guide of this position is the centerline of the stick solenoid is just below the top face of the shelf or the
centerline of the engage arm detent bearing is 4mm below the centerline of the detent strike stud.

2 - Adjust the detent strike stud (Fig 8 item 1), held by M6 nut (10mm wrench), as far to left as possible but still
releasing the engage arm in the home position.

3 - Check for a 1 to 2mm gap between the pivot rod and the spring loaded plunger. Adjust the length of the pivot rod
if required.

4 - Tighten proximity sensor B.

Setting upper and lower proximity detectors

1 - Operate the vend arm to the load position. (test 0) The vend arm should stop just before reaching the top
mechanical stop. Mark the position of the sensor as a reference.

2 - Move the proximity detector A upwards in small increments, operating the vend arm between each movement to
the load position (test 0), until the vend arm stops electrically just as the hexagon bolt head comes into contact with
the top mechanical stop.
NB The motor should not drive the vend arm hard into the top stop but it should come rest against the stop each
time.

3 - Tighten sensor lock nut.

4 - Carry out the same procedure to adjust the lower proximity sensor C.

If the stick pusher drive peg comes out of the channel it can be re-located without removing the
stick hopper. See Fig below. Check for any binding or obstruction in the drive mechanism. The
usual reason for the pusher to be out of location is after much use the drive chain will possibly
stretch and require re-tensioning. To do this loosen drive chain idler gear lock nut, loosen off the
adjuster lock nut screw in the adjuster ½ a turn, retighten and check chain tension. It is important
NOT to over tighten chain tension. Ideally there should be a small amount of slack in the chain
approx 5mm deflection at the centre.
