Racking
Regardless if you are working on a B-I-B or Figal
system, a place will be designated for placement of the
product. A rack (or shelf) system affords systematic
placement and complete usage of the beverage paid for.
The B-I-B rack allows the boxes to lay properly for syrup
dispersal. Please check with your B-I-B syrup supplier.
Some boxes must be slightly tilted down, while others
may be in virtually any position. The Figal tank rack
keeps the newer and full tanks organized at one end of
the beverage line with the partial tanks at the other.
B-I-B
The Bag-In-Box system refers to a plastic disposable
bag. The B-I-B normally contains 5 gallons of syrup,
however some locations offer 2-1/2 gallon B-I-B units.
This plastic bag is then held inside a cardboard or other
container. B-I-B systems are for post-mix applications
only.
Pumps
The syrup in a B-I-B system is delivered to the beverage
system through gas operated pumps. These pumps
extract the syrup out of the bags, forcing the syrup
throughout the system.
Auto Bag Selectors
These are used on higher volume B-I-B systems where
two or more bags of the same product are connected to
one pump and one system. An auto bag selector is
essentially a valve that automatically changes from one
bag (or series of bags) to another bag (or series of bags)
of syrup as the bags empty, allowing a constant flow of
product.
FIGAL SYSTEM
Figal refers to the stainless steel tanks of pre-mix
beverage or post-mix syrup. A small CO
2
tank pushes
the beverage out of the figal tank.
Tanks
The stainless steel Figal beverage tanks are easy to
store and connect. When using the Figal tanks:
•
Use a gas connector for the inlet fitting of the tank.
•
Use a syrup connector for the outlet fitting of the
tank.
•
If more than one Figal tank is connected in series,
when changing tanks, remove the tank closest to the
original gas inlet while adding the new tank to the
connector closest to the syrup outlet.
Most Figal tanks have a self-closing valve on the tank as
well as the gas and syrup connectors. This allows the
operator of the system to change tanks without having to
shut down the entire system. With this type of connector,
push down on the connector while pulling up on the snap
ring around the opening of the connector. Then simply
pull the connector off the tank.
