“Bin full” detection system
The Follett Horizon icemaker incorporates a unique “bin full” detection system that consists of the shuttle and
actuator. The shuttle incorporates a flag and sensor. Referencing the figure below, the normal running position
of the flag is down, out of the sensor. When the bin fills to the top and ice can no longer move through the tube,
the machine will force the shuttle flag up into the sensor, shutting the machine off. The shuttle actuator, located
above the ice bin allows the ice to curl up within it when the bin is full. In this way, there are no loads generated
that would tend to lift off the lid of the bin.
