Definitions

  • the invention as stated in the title of the present specification, relates to an automated equipment for beer dispensing installations, that provides a series of advantages and features, which will be described in more detail later, which are a remarkable improvement of the current state of the art within its field of application.
  • the object of the invention focuses on a equipment of control and automatic management applicable to beer dispensing installations from two or more tanks at a point of consumption, which, through a set of electronic, electromechanical and computer components, provides an optimized system which allows the restaurateur that has installed the dispenser and the tanks, to carry out said control, operation and management in an automatic and remote manner through an electronic device with touch screen acting as a interface as well as the supplier of brewing tanks, receive remotely and in real time information on the status of installation.
  • the field of application of the present invention is within the sector of the brewing industry, in particular that includes, in bars, restaurants and other points of consumption, beer dispensing installations by tanks.
  • dispenser taps instead of connecting to a system of barrels, are connected directly to one or more tanks the capacity of which is much higher, typically 250, 500, or 1000 litres, which prevents the continuous transfer of barrels and the continuous exchange of the same.
  • these tanks have standard outputs provided with a manual stopcock, refrigerated pipes that transport beer towards the tap handle, located at the bar and a series of pneumatic taps enabling to carry out the necessary operations to be able to make use of the tank to be used for the dispensing.
  • these tanks are installed in high areas, in preferential areas of the establishment so that they are visible to customers or in poorly accessible areas. This means that the restaurateur has to carry out the previous operations at situations of risk if they are done in height, and also causing inconvenience to customers if tanks are installed in a preferential area of the establishment and is needed an access to them.
  • the supplier that provides the tanks has no direct control or constant of the level of their beer consumption, since it is subject to what the restaurateur reports it or the forecast made, such that errors in supply occurs which may affect for the benefit of both the company and the restaurateur, as well as other aspects on which the supplier can not have direct control either, such as the maintenance of the product conditions.
  • the aim of the present invention is therefore to develop an equipment that allows automating the operation of the installation, so that it frees the restaurateur from concerns about the installation as much as possible and, on the other hand, the supplier may have a greater control over all its installations.
  • the invention is applicable to an beer dispensing installation of the type which includes between two to four tanks with outputs connected to refrigerated pipes that transport beer towards at least a tap handle at the bar of the establishment of consumption and with a series of pneumatic taps that allow the operations required for using the tank to be used for the dispensing, said equipment being formed from a series of electronic, electromechanical and computer elements and components, connected to said installation and designed to allow the automatic and/or remote operation of the installation, specifically, for opening and closing the pneumatic taps and for automatically changing from one tank to another, allowing the actuation for product output and remote change of tank, by the hoteliers from a touch screen interface as well as the control of level, temperature, pressure, or other parameters of tanks, allowing, in addition, in an embodiment option more advanced of the equipment, that such information on the status of the installation can also be known remotely through a remote computer server that hosts the management software and the data generated by installations.
  • the equipment of the invention essentially involves an electronic system comprising a series of tank switchboards, one for each tank of the installation, and a main switchboard, that control the operation and power supply of a actuation and backpressure assembly en each tank, formed by magnetic valves and regulators for the operations of opening of product and backpressure in tank, as well as the operation of the pneumatic system acting on said actuation and backpressure assembly, as well as on the air inlet regulator assembly and the actuator of the outlet tap of each tank to carry out the operations of actuating the opening and closing of product stopcock and make backpressure inside the tank for the exit of product.
  • the aforementioned main switchboard is provided with a management software, programmable to adapt the needs of the equipment to each type of installation and acts as a mini web server, allowing, through a router, its connection via internal WiFi network to an electronic device with touch screen, for example an electronic tablet or smartphone, to be able to interact with the equipment remotely.
  • the cited management software is a dedicated software, that is, specific for said management, being designed both to connect and disconnect the flow of product to the dispenser tap(s), and change the tanks and know the status or level of content thereof at any time. Likewise, it allows knowing temperature and pressure parameters of the product inside the tanks, through the existence of a series of temperature sensors and level and pressure transducers set for that purpose in the tanks and conveniently connected to the switchboards of each tank.
  • the main switchboard is also connected, through Ethernet network to a remote computer server that, as stated above, gives access to information on the status of the installation remotely.
  • the information collected on each brewery or establishment is reported to the Factory, to be treated and exploited for maintenance, logistics, etc., purposes, through a dedicated software application that collects and displays all these data and allows a processing of them.
