A Foam on Beer Detectors (FOBs) is used on long draught beer lines to minimise beer wastage. Beer FOBs are installed in the cool room on the tapping board and contain a float which drops when the keg is empty, keeping the beer line charged with beer (rather than foam).

Precision manufactured Bracton Beer FOB detectors have a flow rate in Australia at over 24 litres per minute making them ideal for medium to high volume applications i.e. Hotels, clubs and stadiums. Increased flow rate is essential to avoid float release in periods of high demand. With over 15,000 Bracton FOB detectors in the market, you cannot go wrong.

Bracton Foam on Beer Detectors (FOBs) are available with a wide range of inlets and outlets to suit all cellar board installation templates.

Technical Bulletin- FOB Installation and operations

Bracton is the Australian distributor of Core Components Beer FOB detector range. The core range of FOB detectors have been precision manufactured to minimise hygiene issues and deliver perfect performance at and affordable price.

• Reduce beer waste – increase profit.
• Stainless steel FOB Detectors designed to eliminate hygiene problems of most other fob detectors.
• Self sealing spring-action venting mechanism external to the beer flow.
• Rotating vent for easy installation.
• Symmetrically shaped float means no unhygienic guide pins and screws.
• Fully tapered base prevents the build up of beer stone in the corners.
• Optimal sight glass seal which eliminates unhygienic gaps unlike typical face groove design.

Installing Bracton’s beer pump solution reduces beer gas consumption by 50 – 70% and increases the quality and life span of beer. The beer pump solution achieves this by reducing the volume of gas pressure required at the keg to enough to drive the beer from the keg to the beer pump (approximately 100kPa). Lower pressure at the keg also prevents over carbonation of the beer.

Bracton’s stainless steel FOB to beer pump manifolds minimise leak points, increase hygiene and help maintain a tidy cellar tapping board.

The World’s smartest and smallest tube heat exchanger for drinks dispense. The Future of Dispense.

CoolTube is an amazingly efficient compact heat exchanger that provides superior heat exchange capabilities and also allows variable dispense temperatures at the point of dispense. CoolTube is compatible with any coolant medium, enabling installation and compatibility to all current dispense systems.

This patented technology is set to change the future of dispensed beverages.

CoolTube is constructed from stainless steel throughout and is over six times smaller and lighter than a standard remote cooling pod and has a superior delta T in comparison to competitive products. The product is so compact and lightweight that it doesn’t require fixings, therefore can fit in most confined spaces including directly under the font, saving valuable space behind the bar.

Dispensed drinks temperatures can be within 1ºC to 2ºC of the python recirculation temperature. There is very little variation in dispensed temperatures whether or not a half pint is poured or the tap is constantly opened. This is due to the low volume actually within the CoolTube and its unique tube heat exchanger technology.

CoolTube is easy to install and delivers outstanding results so as a time and space saving device it’s second to none. The product is compatible with all standard industry push in fittings and comes in two standard sizes (1 way and 4 way). The technology can also be adapted into the dispense font/tower.

All stainless steel components are made from high quality grade 316.

The Celli Ice Bank Coolers have extra long product coils to ensure beer is dispensed at the optimum temperature. Reliable European built condensers ensure years of quality performance without failure. Tested to Australian Standards AS/NZS 60335.1 & AS/NZS 60335.2.75

Perlick’s 304 stainless steel, forward sealing beer and wine taps are unique in both appearance and function. A revolutionary ball and floating front seal design prevents beer from being exposed to air. As a result, the handle lever doesn’t stick and there is no build up of mould and bacteria in the tap body, delivering a complete clean during a regular beer line clean.

Fewer internal parts means better reliability and fewer service calls.

Features a Flow Control Handle on the side of the faucet, which can adjust restriction for hard to pour brands or to slow the pour for sampler glasses.

• Stainless Steel construction – won’t pit or tarnish.
• Patented forward sealing design eliminates the need for a valve shaft exposed to beer and air
• Spout angle is more vertical allowing a more thorough draining after each pour – no horizontal area for beer to collect
• Polished interior – smooth flow, less agitation and less foaming
• Easy to clean – may be cleaned in place
