Maintenance and Care of Beer Fob Detector

A beer FOB detector is a valuable device offered by Pacific Beer Equipment designed to prevent excess foam or beer wastage during the pouring process. It achieves this by automatically stopping the flow of beer when the keg is empty or when foam reaches the beer line, thereby maintaining the perfect pour and reducing product loss. To keep your FOB detector functioning effectively and to extend its lifespan, it's essential to follow a regular maintenance routine.

Regular Beer Fob Detector Maintenance Procedures

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your FOB detector, it's crucial to adhere to a routine maintenance schedule. Here are the essential steps you should follow:

1. Inspection: Begin by inspecting the entire beer FOB detector system. Check for any visible damage, loose connections, or signs of wear and tear. Pay close attention to the detector's components, such as the float and sensor assembly.

2. Cleaning: Regular cleaning is essential to prevent the buildup of beer residue, yeast, or sediment in the FOB detector. Disconnect the detector from the beer line and disassemble it as per the manufacturer's instructions. Clean each component thoroughly using a mild, brewery-approved cleaning solution and a soft brush. Rinse with clean water and ensure there is no residue left.

3. Sanitization: After cleaning, it's crucial to sanitize all parts of the beer FOB detector. Use a food-grade sanitizer recommended by the manufacturer to eliminate any potential contaminants. Make sure to rinse thoroughly with clean, sanitized water to remove any remaining sanitizer.

4. Reassembly: Carefully reassemble the FOB detector, ensuring all components are properly connected and sealed. Pay special attention to gaskets and O-rings to prevent any leaks.

5. Calibration: Some beer FOB detectors require periodic calibration to maintain accuracy. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for calibration, which typically involve adjusting the float and sensor settings to ensure it accurately detects foam and empty kegs.

6. Testing: After reassembly and calibration, conduct a thorough test to ensure the beer FOB detector is functioning correctly. Connect it back to the beer line and simulate various pouring scenarios to verify that it stops beer flow when necessary.

7. Record-Keeping: Maintain a maintenance log to record each inspection, cleaning, and calibration. This log will help you track the device's performance and identify any patterns of wear or issues that may require attention.

8. Manufacturer's Recommendations: Always follow the specific maintenance guidelines provided by the manufacturer of your beer FOB detector. These instructions may vary slightly from one brand to another, and it's essential to adhere to their recommendations for optimal results.

Pacific Beer Equipment Features

Automatic Foam Detection: Pacific Beer Equipment's FOB detectors are equipped with advanced sensors that can automatically detect the presence of foam in the beer line. This feature helps prevent over-pouring and minimizes product wastage.

Keg Empty Detection: The detectors are designed to sense when a keg is empty and automatically shut off the beer flow. This feature ensures that customers are not served with empty or near-empty kegs, improving the overall customer experience.

Reliable Float Mechanism: Many Pacific Beer Equipment FOB detectors use a float mechanism that is highly reliable and accurate. The float rises with the level of beer and triggers the shut-off mechanism when foam or an empty keg is detected.

Durable Construction: Pacific Beer Equipment products are typically constructed using high-quality materials that are resistant to corrosion and wear. This durability ensures that the detectors can withstand the rigors of a busy bar or restaurant environment.

Easy Installation: These FOB detectors are often designed with user-friendly installation in mind. They may come with clear instructions and compatible fittings to make the installation process straightforward.

Conclusion:

Proper maintenance and care of your beer FOB (Foam on Beer) detector, especially when using a reliable product from Pacific Beer Equipment, are essential to ensure the quality and consistency of draft beer service in your establishment. By following a regular maintenance routine that includes inspection, cleaning, sanitization, reassembly, calibration, testing, and record-keeping, you can extend the lifespan of your FOB detector and prevent beer wastage.
