Agenda Testing Manual System Automated System Jason

Testing Portion Pump Testing Objectives Results Conclusion Will it Dispense? If so, at what rate? Will it clog? Results Dispenses fast (1st try) Clogs between iterations Doesn’t dispense (2nd try) Conclusion Cheap one doesn’t work. Expensive one could work. Testing of modest portion pump needs further testing to assess feasibility. Alex

Testing Pouring Trays Testing Objectives Results Conclusion Will it Dispense evenly? If so, at what rate? Will it clog? Results Dispenses equally. Cools from the outside-in. Scrapes Equally. Not Flush. Tray Lip stops overflow. Conclusion System works well. Tray can be easily modified to make flush. Tray needs to be level to work. Ben
