There are different types of dispensing systems that meet different requirements depending on the application, capacity, and type of beverage. Each system has its own advantages and is specialized for specific areas of application.
1. Flow coolers (counter dispensing systems):
These systems are widely used in the hospitality industry and are ideal for continuously dispensing large quantities of beer. The beer is fed through chilled lines and cooled directly upon dispensing. Flow chillers are available in various performance levels, depending on requirements. They can be installed as open systems on the counter or as closed systems under the counter.
2. Compensator dispensing systems:
Compensator taps allow for precise control of flow rate and foam. They are particularly suitable for events and smaller businesses where flexibility is required. Compensator tap systems are easy to use and do not require complex installation.
3. Stand-alone dispensing systems (party dispensing systems):
Small, portable beer dispensing systems are ideal for home use or smaller events. These systems typically feature integrated cooling and are quickly ready for use. They are suitable for smaller beer kegs and are generally very user-friendly.
4. Under-counter dispensing systems:
These systems are located under the counter and offer a clean and space-saving solution for bars and restaurants. The taps are integrated into the counter, while the technology remains hidden underneath. This type of dispensing system ensures a clean appearance and maximum dispensing capacity.
5. Mobile dispensing systems:
For catering and events, mobile dispensing systems offer maximum flexibility. These systems are easy to transport, usually require only a single power source, and can be set up anywhere. They are suitable for dispensing beer and other beverages and are often equipped with wheels.
6. Beer trucks and beer pipelines:
For large events or festivals, beer trucks or beer pipelines are used. These systems are designed for mass production and allow for the dispensing of large quantities of beer in a short time.
7. Multi-line systems (multi-dispensing systems):
Large restaurants and breweries use multi-line dispensing systems that allow for the simultaneous dispensing of different types of beer. This offers maximum flexibility and variety in dispensing.
8. Draft beer cooler with tap:
These simple systems consist of a keg connected directly to a tap. They're particularly suitable for small parties and can be set up with little effort. They often feature integrated CO₂ cartridges for pressure regulation.
Depending on your needs and application, there's a suitable dispensing system for every occasion. Whether for a professional operation or a private garden party, choosing the right dispensing system ensures perfect beer enjoyment and a smooth operation.
