2 - Electrical systems - Connections - Configurations
The machine is designed to operate under a single-phase voltage of 230 V AC (+5-10V)
It is protected with two T 6,3 fuses on both phases.
A safety transformer supplies power to very-low voltage components (24 V), while the cooling unit and the lamps
are powered with the mains voltage.
With regard to the transformer:
The primary winding is protected with a T 800 mA fuse
The secondary winding 25 V is protected with the following fuses:
T 1 A – T 1A
The slide-out compartment is fitted with a safety switch. (10)
The switch is located on the front panel of the power supply unit, and when opening the compartment it
disconnects the power from all parts that can be accessed for normal maintenance and cleaning operations.
The only parts that stay energised are those protected by suitable covers carrying a plate with the warning
"Disconnect power before removing the cover”; to clear the voltage the power the power supply cable must be
disconnected from power outlet.

The power cable can be supplied as standard feature and chosen among
the following types:
HO5 RN – F copper with a 3 x 1.5 mm2 section
HO5 V V – F ,, ,, ,, ,,
HO7 RN – F ,, ,, ,, ,,
Fitted with a fixed SCHUKO plug.
NOTE: For UK there is a specific plug conforming to the standards in
force, which is adopted for that specific market.
In the event of replacement cables of exactly the same
characteristics must be used.
Since the “Snakky” vending machine is approved by an electrical
safety certification institute (IMQ), replacements with non-original
components are not permitted.
Otherwise the electrical safety certificate and the warranty will be Detail of Power supply compartment
void.

A neon lamp is located vertically on the


right-hand side inside the cabinet; the
starter is fitted inside the lamp holder.
The ballast is located inside the power
supply compartment.
The CPU board controls also the 24 V
actuations by means of TRIACs and
Darlington switches, while the lamp and
the cooling unit are controlled by a relay
card located inside the power supply
compartment.
Some versions are provided with
monitoring of the selected product fall
into the dispensing compartment by
means of a card with
receiver/transmitter diodes (infrared).
If the barrier is not interrupted it means
that a product is finished or jammed
and the system will further attempt
releasing the product with small
rotations; if also this fails the selection
is disabled and the customer is entitled
to a new selection.

3 - VENDING AND LOADING SYSTEMS
“Snakky” is a vending machine belonging to the S & F
range, with product dispensing by means of the rotation
of spirals.
During their rotation the spirals push the product loaded
onto the tray forward.
The tray is modular, and by simply moving the partitions
and the motors one, two or three position trays can be
used to dispense any products. Different pitch spirals are
available to be able to load 20 to 76 mm wide products.
In addition the spirals can have right and left pitch, to be
used in the case of two spirals in the same partition.
The rear position motor is fitted with a minidip, permitting
the inversion of the direction of rotation.

1 - Adjustable tray motor


2 - Minidips controlling the
direction of rotation
3 - Limit micro-switch
4 - Three-pole connector

Example of tray configuration with three partitions; a


single one, a double one and a triple one.

Availability of spiral pitches and direction


of rotation
Useful pitch:
20, 30, 42, 50, 60, 76 right rotation

30, 42, 50, 60 left rotation

The tray is held into position by a stop


located on the guides; to slide out the tray
it need to be lifted slightly and then pulled
to the second safety stop. To extract it
completely it needs to be lifted further and
then removed (after disconnecting the
connector located on the right side).

6 – COOLING UNIT AND INTERNAL VENTILATION

The internal temperature control is by means of an NTC type electronic probe fitted with an internal 2267-ohm
resistance (± 7 ohm) at a temperature of 3° C.
As the internal temperature decreases the resistance is increased progressively as indicated in the following table.
This variation allows the software to control the internal temperature with extreme accuracy.

Ref. box int. Value in ohm Allowed tolerance


temperature
30° 733 +/-7 ohm
15° 1348 ,,
3° 2267 ,,
The cooling unit is controlled by the relay
0° 2612 ,, card located inside the power supply box
and powered at the grid voltage (SOR
CARD).
When the machine is started, the software
cables reads the value (in Ohm) from the NTC
probe and, according to the temperature
evaporator setting, sends a signal to the relay card
fan that activates or deactivates the cooling
unit operation.
The cooling unit is very compact and of
the slide-in type; in any case it is designed
probe to be extracted easily and quickly.
To access the cooling unit, the last tray
must be extracted, then the anti-theft
grille and the dispensing compartment
must be removed.
At this point the complete cooling unit can
be extracted.

NB. A cooling unit is a real SLIDE-IN type


condenser when it is designed as a complete single
piece unit (e.g. the unit installed on the
StarFood); for the Snakky it is more of a
partial slide-in type, as although it can be
removed completely it is not designed as a
single piece functional unit.

7 – CABINET

The cabinet is made of pre-varnished sheet-metal,


assembled with rivets and various reinforcements; pre-
formed polystyrene foam insulation panels are placed
between the external pre-varnished sheet-metal part and
the internal refrigerated box part.
The advantage of this solution, compared to the injected
polyurethane foam insulation, is mainly form an
environmental point of view, as in the event of future
scrapping of the machine, the cabinet can be disassembled
completely without any complications (almost impossible in
the case of cabinet injected with foam).
The base is made with varnished and welded sheet-metal,
the feet are adjustable for perfect levelling, and after
removing the lower grille; a trans-pallet can be used to
move the machine.
As optional feature, supports are provided to be placed
under the base, making it possible to position the machine
alongside 1830 mm high vending machines.
As standard feature the Snakky is 1700 mm high.

11 – HACCP DIRECTIVE

HACCP DIRECTIVE (EEC 93/43 and 96/3)


Outline and instructions for use
Notes: What is indicated by the EC Directive

Directives EEC 93/43 and 96/3 concern the hygiene of food products and are based on the HACCP (Hazard
Analysis Critical Control Point).
The purpose of this directive is to safeguard the consumer health, suggesting a series of actions to be taken by the
vending company, aimed at checking, identifying and correcting any critical aspects in the foodstuff chain, from the
purchase of products and machines to the dispensing of the product.
The HACCP is a system used to analyse any potential risks in the manufacturing and distribution cycle of food
product and to identify critical points where such risks can occur; the system also highlights the actions to be
undertaken and the decisions to be made with regard to such critical points, as well as the implementation of
checking and monitoring procedures.

Therefore, each vending company must develop a Company Hygiene Self-control Manual according to the
provisions of the directive - and if necessary use the information and recommendations formulated by some
associations in the sector. The manual must contain a programming and checking schedule for the hygiene
condition of each vending machine, and when a new machine is added this must be updated immediately.

Important notes:
For a correct use of the machine, the directives must be fully applied. The operator is responsible for correct
operations on a vending machine

HACCP Directives (EEC 93/43 and 96/3)


Guidelines for correct application

Ensure hygiene control with a special manual for correct hygiene practices.
After cleaning, do not touch the surface of any elements that may come into contact with food.
Wash your hands thoroughly, preferably using disinfectant, before starting any hygiene operations
Use disposable sterile gloves
Always use a clean cloth to wipe dry.
Keep the work area tidy.
Check that the product packages are intact and not damaged.
Use products within the recommended time period (see expiry date on the package).
Always use products from the warehouse according to the principle of “first-in first-out”.
Consumables must be kept and transported separate from the cleaning and hygiene products.
Drums and sectors must be cleaned regularly (see operating instructions).
Do not fill internal zones of the machine with products to be loaded in a second occasion.
The products that need to be kept at a refrigerated temperature must be transported to the location of the
machine in containers that maintain the products at the ideal temperature or in containers that do not allow
excessive temperature difference.
CLEANING THE MACHINE
Carefully observe the following cleaning instructions! Considering that:
The Snakky normally dispenses products with a long shelf life, but it can be enabled to dispense short shelf life
products; in this case cleaning must be more frequent and stricter.
In the following instructions, only the cleaning and hygiene operations for the FIRST case are described.

Clean the machine, preferably at the end of the day or in the morning before the machine is used, and before
loading the products to be sold.
Fill in the checklist log for cleaning operations.
When the display indicates an error message immediately check the trouble-shooting sheet.
Use only recommended cleaning products approved for foodstuff, preferably liquid; do not use powder and
abrasive products that could scratch plastic surfaces.
