You mean FCB (Frozen Carbonated Beverage) machines?
Good luck.
You'll NEED it.
Get a refractometer. You can thank me later.

Is a tool used to quickly determine the concentration of a fluid.
I have one for Glycol. A co-worker has one for Sucrose. I may be getting one for POE pretty soon.

I have done very little with them.
I didn't like them at all.
Get the refractometer.

I think once I get into them more the company will pony up for one. Originally Posted by jpsmith1cm

Seems like a long hard way to make some pop with ice in it.

The refractometer is as important as your wrenches in checking out one of these machines.

If you want to get good at fixing them, come work for the 7/11 chain in Winnipeg MB, Canada.
According to 7/11 our city sold the most slurpees in the world for the 11th year in a row.

Worked on FCB Equipment for many years, I got to know them like the back of my hand. Refractometer is very important in order to adjust the brix, it can be challenging at times but some machines are easier than others, I personally loved working on Cornelius, Pinnacle's are the most troublesome to work on, Mag drives always go bad. Good luck.
