The Perfect Pour needs the perfect combination - Beer Pumps and FOBs


Beer Pump Basics

Designed for dispensing draft beer from keg, cask, or brew kettle through both short or long distances (up to 100 metres), vertically or horizontally line runs while maintaining the brewers recommended applied pressure on the beer. The gas pressure applied to the beer and the air/gas pressure applied to the pump, to drive the beer from the vessel to the point of dispense are completely separate, thus ensuring the repeatable quality of presentation and taste to the customer.

The pump uses mechanical force to deliver the beer to the tap. Beer pump setups requires two operational regulator pressures. CO2 pressure on the keg to maintain beer carbonation (ask the brewer), and separate gas/air pressure to the beer pump to propel the beer to the tap.

The pump receives pressure from either C02 or compressed air which is regulated by a secondary regulator. The operating pressure of the pump is 0.6 bar up to 6.2 bar. The pump has 2 ports, a receiving port which connects to the beer coupler. The other outlet supplies the beer system with beer and that fitting is usually connected to a FOB, and then to the beer trunk line.

Understanding FOBs
FOBs stop the flow of beer through a line once the keg empties. This reduces the beer loss associated with changing a keg and reduces operating costs. This makes for less product loss and generates savings for the account. If a FOB is not used, the pump will continue to cycle after the keg has run dry, which is a primary cause of pump failure.
Simple to Install
Be sure to install beer pumps less than 1.5m above cooler floor height. Beer pumps should be installed below the level of the beer tap at the bar. We can meet all your beer line needs, from installation to cleaning and maintenance. In addition to our services, we sell beer line equipment, for your home or bar.
First Run After Install
After installation is complete, set the pressure to 1.5 bar and adjust up until desired flow rate is obtained. Once primed, the pump will operate automatically by starting and stopping on demand, as the beer tap is opened and closed. Product flow can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing gas pressure to the pump.
