Agitators (pumps with dual function) serve 2 purpose:

1. To constantly circulate ice cold water around the beer coils in the beer cooler's water tank.

2. To pump ice cold water in the python (link to page 1.1.2) up to the tower and back into the water tank in order to keep the beer cold all the way from keg to glass.

Our Italian supplier Samec & Saber Group has been making high quality agitator-pumps for about 2 decades. They call themselves: “A company of Know How”. A constant investment in new solutions has resulted in a wide assortment suitable for many applications.

BFS = Beer Foam Stop is an Israeli apparatus developed and manufactured by an Israeli hi-tech company. It is engineered with the most current technology utilizing the highest of standards. It is properly the best FOB on the market today, providing flawless sealing of the beer lines. It is also the smallest device on market, attaches to the keg coupler and not to the wall, very easy to operate, requires almost no maintenance and its full body is made of Stainless Steel 316 [antimagnetic].

BFS - Main Benefits over today's FOB's:

Better Hygiene function

Stanwell’s Flojet Beer Pumps are capable of delivering beer up to 18 m vertically through a single line. Beer pumps are necessary in long haul systems to keep a constant pressure and to reduce foam.

For beers using mix gas (CO2 + Nitrogen) a beer pump is not required because the nitrogen is used to propel the beer through the line.

The new Stanwell Beer Pump is designed to take into account normal dispense environments and cold beer dispense applications.

Beer pumps can operate both on compressed air (with oil and moisture filter) and CO2.

We always recommend beer taps to have a compensator so you can control the flow at the tapping point.

Taps are available in a variety materials and coatings like chrome and gold. The pictures only show a sample of the available taps. For specifc requests please feel free to contact us.

 

When ordering cleaning kegs it is important to know which spear head you have on your beer keg so the same keg coupler can be used on the cleaning keg.

Our stainless steel cleaning kegs are available with 1 spear head or 3 spear heads (which heads?) Plastic cleaning kegs are available with 1 spear only.

For Key Kegs a special spear head has been developed and therefore you will need a cleaning adaptor to make the special keg coupler fit on the cleaning keg. For more details please fill free to contact us.

STEP 8

Rinse with Tap water

Rinse with tap water as follow: for 7mm I.D. tubes use a minimum of 200 ml and a maximum of 1,000 ml per meter of tubing. Verify rinsing by means of a pH-test strip: The pH of the rinsing water coming out of the tap has to correspond with the pH of original tap water.

 

Compliant with DIN 6650 and HACCP norms.

Surely you already know problems with a draft beer installation. Sometimes it can be difficult to keep up with demand because the beer foams too much. It is also difficult to get the last beer out of the keg. Fortunately your problems can be solved with a DraftMore. It makes sure that the pressure in the keg is correct according to the temperature of the beer.

That means the beer will flow with a regular consistency and makes it possible to get the last drops of beer out of the keg. This also means that you will reduce waste and maximize earnings from each keg of beer. With a DraftMore you will serve a perfect draught beer every time!

Advantages of DraftMore:

  • Never have too much or too little foam on your beers serve the beer with perfect top – every time!
  • You will notice that you are not returning beer to the brewery anymore; no more beer left in the bottom of the keg like before.
  • No more manual adjusting! The DraftMore automatically adjusts the CO2 pressure in the keg according to the beer temperature.
  • The CO2 content in the beer remains the same as when the beer was delivered from the brewery!
  • No more flat or foamy beer.
  • The return on investment is very fast. It’s a one-time investment and provides a continuous return.
  • DraftMore is maintenance free.
  • It is easy to install one on each keg.

In other words reducing waste and maximize profits!

How it works and advantage of using DraftMore

Details about DraftMore: 
It is well known that draft beer, when tapped, often gives more foam than desired. The major cause of this is due to incorrect CO2 pressure in the beer keg in relation to the temperature of the beer. Some people adjust CO2 pressure manually when the temperature increases or decreases, but people do not always remember to do this or adjust it correctly. Manual adjustment can lead to over carbonated beer (too much foam) or under carbonated (flat) beer. The solution is a DraftMore, which automatically adjusts the right CO2 pressure in the beer keg depending on the temperature. To have CO2 equilibrium pressure (see attached graph) you must adjust the CO2 pressure to be in balance with the temperature. 

Many people don't know how to do the adjustment precisely and the problems start. If CO2 pressure is too high in relation to the temperature, the beer gets over carbonated. It can happen overnight or in a few hours. If, for example, the temperature in the beer falls 10 degrees Celsius and CO2 pressure has not been adjusted accordingly, that means the CO2 pressure is 0.8 bar higher than it should be and the beer gets over carbonated producing too much foam.

With too much foam there is no way to serve a perfect draft beer. However with DraftMore this will never happen. The DraftMore, which is developed in corporation with Danfoss A/S and patented worldwide, makes the adjustment of the pressure automatically. The advantages of this are countless!

TecFlo’s FOB detector shuts down beer flow when keg empties. This eliminates the spitting and spraying that usually happens when a keg "blows". No need to refill lines after opening new keg. Eliminating foam and wasted beer. Remember foam is beer (and beer = money).

There is a wide variety of keg couplers in the market. We carry stock of most commonly used keg couplers like A-type, D-type, G-type, S-type and for Key Kegs from top quality brands like Micro Matic and TOF.

 

Picnic coolers are quick to set-up and requires no electric power. Just fill up the cooler with ice and allow it to semi melt to create ice-cold water around the coil(s). Depending on how much beer you pour through the picnic cooler you need to add ice from time to time.

Pressure regulators are needed to apply and control the correct pressure to the beer. We carry stock of both primary and secondary regulators from top quality brands like Micro Matic and TOF.

Most commonly used regulator is a one-way type but regulators can also be serial connected to allow individual pressure control for each beer in larger installations.

It is well known that draft beer, when tapped, often gives more foam than desired. The major (but not always the only) cause of this is due to incorrect CO2 pressure in the beer keg in relation to the temperature of the beer. Some people adjust CO2 pressure manually when the temperature increases or decreases, but people do not always remember to do this or adjust it correctly. Manual adjustment (and inaccurate setting) can lead to over carbonated beer (too much foam) or under carbonated (flat) beer.
