Abstract
A product dispenser includes a product housing including a drive system and a dispensing apparatus. The drive system includes a motive power device and a controller and is configured to receive energy from an energy supply. The dispensing apparatus is configured to dispense the product. During a condition when the product is being dispensed, the dispensing apparatus is subject to a dispensing resistance and the drive system provides an output to the dispensing apparatus to overcome the dispensing resistance, the output being characterized by a dispensing parameter. The controller receives the dispensing parameter and responsively operates the motive power device, such that the controller operates the motive power device in a first output drive condition in response to the dispensing parameter being below a threshold value, and operates the motive power device in a second output drive condition in response to the dispensing parameter being above a threshold value.
