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.
