Abstract

Beer wastage on change-over of a keg is prevented by using a fob detection system (1) which is completely hygienic. The system (1) allows the passage of cleaning pellets for a beer line. The system (1) has a capacitive sensor (11) which detects the dielectric constant value of the contents of the beer line according to the magnitude and frequency of oscillation set up in an electrostatic field by a capacitive electrode. A shut-off valve (13) is of the ball valve type and does not provide any spaces or crevasses within which bacteria may grow. A fob bleed valve (14) is incorporated in the shut-off valve (13). <IMAGE>
