Trusted by Bars, Restaurants and Breweries Since 1991
Take It To The End of The Line
Pacific Beer Equipment’s renowned high-tech Draught Foam Control device (Beer FOBs), the DFC 9500 / DFC 9600, stops beer flow immediately after a keg empties, both at the key and the tap. This eliminates the spitting and spraying that usually happens when a keg “blows”. The DFC 9500 / DFC 9600 keeps the supply lines full of beer, even when a keg blows, resulting in instant beer from a freshly tapped keg.
That's right — no more time and money is wasted pouring off foam in order to get to the good stuff.
Drain Your Keg, Not Your Wallet
Savings for businesses are astronomical. Independent testing by various North American Breweries has shown the DFC 9500 / DFC 9600 saves an average of one pitcher of beer per keg on a typical long-draw run, much greater savings for stadiums, airports, and hotels. Given that there are approximately 40 pitchers in a keg and based on a volume of 40 kegs per week - bars, pubs, clubs and restaurants would save one keg a week. That's 52 kegs a year!
Owners see their return on investment very quickly.
