[1] – A carbon dioxide (CO2) cylinder utilized for the dispensing of propulsion
[2] – A pressure regulation system categorized by beverage type
[3] – Beverage kegs (Classic or Key-Keg connection)
[4] – Instant cooler utilizing ice coils
[5] – Dispensers
BeerShop24 adheres to traditional practices in beer handling
-

-
Dispensing Cycle
Following the dispensing request, BeerShop activates the cup discriminator [7] to position the next cup at location [8]. In the absence of a cup present in the discriminator, BeerShop24 engages the wheel [6] to initiate the arrangement of a new row of cups.
Upon placing the cup in the designated position, BeerShop24 activates the dispenser cart [9] and maneuvres it to position [11]. Subsequently, the corresponding solenoid valve [10] is opened to initiate the filling process. Upon completion, BeerShop24 closes the solenoid valve, retracts the cart, and unlocks the cup pickup door [12].
-
Filling Procedure
The filling process is conducted for a predetermined duration for each type of beverage. To enhance the quality of the filling, the dispensing nozzles are inclined, directing the flow towards the interior wall of the cup. Flow regulators are incorporated for each beverage to facilitate the selection of the most appropriate dispensing option. In the event of a designated period of inactivity between the dispensing of the same beverage, BeerShop executes a brief release of the beverage while the cart remains closed, allowing the liquid to be directed into an internal tank. This procedure is implemented to prevent the dispensing of excessive foam.
-
Cleaning, Replacement of Kegs, and Replenishment of Cups
BeerShop24 necessitates the same cleaning and keg replacement procedures that are commonly implemented in bars or pubs. The cleaning process involves connecting a sanitizing solution to the system and activating the solenoid valves in maintenance mode to facilitate the flow. The used liquids are collected in the internal tank, which must be emptied upon the completion of the cleaning process. Keg is conducted in a manner analogous to that in bars and pubs. Additionally, in BeerShop24, it is essential to refill the cup loaders. Following the maintenance procedures, the count of new servings (for each beverage) must be reset in BeerShop24 to enable the machine to send timely alerts via SMS when a refill is required.
