Brix Pump 

 
 

The Brix pump is a proportioning device, 

which pumps two liquids (e.g. water and 
concentrate) in an exact ratio. The particular 
ratio is determined by the pump design, and 

is thereby maintained precisely, independent 
of system flow or pressure changes, with no 

need to regularly readjust brix at the 
dispensing valve. 
The pump operates on the source pressure of 

one of the proportioned liquids; typically the 
incoming water eliminating the need for CO

or electric power. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
The Brix pump is designed with a vacuum shut off. The vacuum shut-off will automatically stop 

operation of the brix pump, when the concentrate BIB container is completely evacuated, by closing 
off the water inlet. When a new BIB is installed, the pump will automatically resume operation without 
the need to prime the system.

  

 

The Brix pump is ideally suited to premium juice applications, and incorporates a valve design suitable 
for use with syrups containing "stringy" pulp.
