Why You Must Have a DFC 9500 BEER FOB & How to Maintain It

A DFC 9500 Beer FOB is designed to keep your lines filled with beer and only beer. The FOB detects an empty barrel and switches off the beer flow, eliminating the foam you get from an empty barrel. It also abolishes the requirement to refill lines with beer and remove air from the system. Without a Beer FOB installed on your beer line, when your barrel gets empty, your tap starts spitting and spraying foam. But with a DFC 9500 Beer FOB installed, you will experience no foaming when your barrel runs out. When you tap the new beer barrel, your tap will immediately pour beer. No waste of foam, no downtime for your customers, and none of the extra labor costs involved when an employee has to spend time cleaning up the cooler where an empty barrel has made a clutter.
Perhaps more crucial than efficiency, are the costs of beer saving by installing Foam on Beer Detectors during your long draws. Depending on the length of your beer lines, without a Beer FOB installed on your long draw-beer system lines, each barrel change can waste up to 64 ounces of beer when you finish one beer barrel and start a new beer barrel. That is every time you change a barrel. With a DFC 9500 Beer FOB detector, beer loss through the foam is almost completely eliminated. A FOB detector pays for itself almost immediately.

How Does DFC 9500 Beer FOB Work?

The beer that flows through the beer line and FOB lifts a float ball to the top of the foam at the beer detection room. As your barrel begins to empty and the beer flow is lighter, the float ball falls into the room. This results in a seal being immediately placed on the DFC 9500 Beer FOB outlet port, thus preventing beer loss by shutting off the flow in the beer line when the container runs out.
A DFC 9500 Beer FOB model is specially designed to stop the beer flow at both the barrel and tap instantly when the barrel goes empty. With this foam detector, you will automatically get beer, not foam when to switch to a new barrel.

Cleaning And Maintenance Of DFC 9500 Beer FOB

FOBs must be regularly maintained and cleaned in the same way as beer lines. The Pacific Beer Equipment suggests that the DFC 9500 Beer FOB detector should be dismantled every three months and detailed with a beer line cleaner.
Although a cleaner for beer lines is ideal for collecting all organic waste in your FOB, it is not effective in removing minerals that may have accumulated. Instead, you also want to use acid beer line cleaner during the cleaning process. Because this cleaner is more acidic, it can easily eradicate beer stones and mineral deposits.
If you have a company that cleans your beer lines, make sure they clean both beer lines and FOBs on the same day. The quality and taste of your beer are just as dependent on foam on beer detectors as on pure beer lines.

How to Clean and Maintain your DFC 9500 Beer FOB?

• Switch off barrel gas.
• Connect to cleaning socket and put FOB in cleaning mode.
• Turn on cleaning gas.
• Bleed the FOB in a container until it is water.
• Fill FOB with the solution. If the float drops, re-vent.
• If it is clean, ventilate back to the water.
• Switch off the cleaning gas and return to the dosing mode.
• Wipe FOB back to beer.
