Definitions
- the invention relates to a dispenser for removing liquids, in particular Drinks such as beer, from a container, especially a keg, with a dispensing head for placing on a connecting piece, in particular one Fitting, the container, wherein the dispensing head has an inlet opening for the supply of the Liquid from the container and an outlet opening for connection to a connection line has, via which the liquid a tap or the like.
- a volume meter is provided at the outlet opening of the dispensing head, and the use of such a dispensing system for managing a beverage dispenser.
- Drinks, especially beer, are usually sold in restaurants Dispensing systems made from reusable containers such as kegs, and fresh for the guest presents.
- the kegs are returned to the brewery after emptying, cleaned there, refilled and again for serving in the restaurants transported. Due to their acquisition costs, they are relatively high Substance value for the beverage industry, but are due business rules practical as a low-value asset written off immediately. Sometimes the containers are also misused used or lost in some sales areas due to theft.
- the object of the invention is to use the provided on the containers Extend identification facilities and improve planning of To enable beer distribution and subsequent delivery.
- the invention takes advantage of the fact that each barrel that a restaurant is delivered, naturally intended to be one to be emptied later via a dispenser. This The emptying process is done by placing a dispensing head on the container initiated.
- the code reader provided according to the invention on the tap head thus enables the automatic detection of the to the dispensing system connected containers.
- the data read out can be used for administration the beverage cellar and checking the connected container become.
- the code reader Reads identification data from the data memory of the container
- the Data processing device preferably the time of arrival and Uncoupling the dispensing head to the container.
- a randomly occurring amount of consumption can occur at the same time recorded and used for the management of the beverage cellar.
- the data processing device is a further development of this inventive concept assigned a display unit, via which is displayed that the container will soon be empty.
- the host can change the barrel plan and prepare in time.
- the dispensing system is used to manage a Beverage dispenser used in a data processing facility the identification data of the containers treated in the dispenser are saved and at the coupling and decoupling times of the container on a dispensing head and / or the volume of liquid flowing through the dispensing head be set.
- the identification and Dispensing data of the container via a data line to a beverage supplier be transmitted.
- the submitted to the beer publisher or the brewery Data can be the identification number of the cask being served Remaining content and the different volumes served throughout the day affect.
- the This enables beverage suppliers to make suggestions to the host in good time, which products he needs to replenish his beverage supply.
- the drinks are usually delivered to the restaurants by the Trucks are loaded on the one hand based on pre-orders from the restaurants, in some cases, however, also recharge excess quantities.
- the sales drivers then drive one Restaurant after restaurant and replace empty barrels that stand out happen to be there.
- such a tour planning is very ineffective and can by the automation made possible according to the invention the loading and planning of the tour route and the times of stay the individual inns are optimized.
- the Identification data of the container in the data processing device checked and the tap blocked when the identification data of the Report an error to the container. So a block can be initiated if there is a superposition of the liquid contained in the container over the expiry date stored in the data storage or if it expires a foreign container from another brewery, one for the individual tap unintended beer or the like.
- the only figure shows schematically a dispensing system with which liquids can be removed from a container. If at a tap a restaurant or similar beverages, in particular beer, is to be tapped, so first becomes one of a beverage supplier, publisher or brewery Delivered containers, in particular a keg 1, to the dispenser connected.
- the keg 1 has a fitting 2, on which a Dispenser head 3 of the dispenser is placed.
- the identification data when connecting and disconnecting to the keg 1 of the keg 1 from a transponder 5 attached to the keg 1 reads.
- the identification data of the keg 1 are transmitted via a data line 6 fed to a data processing device 7, stored there and possibly analyzed.
- the tap head 3 is also connected to a tap via a connecting line 8 9 of the dispenser connected via which the beverage liquid, for example, into a Beer glass 10 is filled.
- a volume meter 12 provided, through which the tapped amount of liquid is recorded and then via the Data line 6 also forwarded to data processing device 7 and there is assigned to the identification data of the keg 1.
- the Data processing device 7 is determined that the filling volume of the Kegs 1 is nearing its end, is via one of the data processing device 7 or the display unit 13 assigned to the tap 9 indicates that the barrel is soon empty and an exchange should be prepared.
- the identification and Dispensing data of the container are connected to a further data line 14 Central computer 15 of the beverage supplier, beer publisher or the brewery forwarded.
- Central computer 15 of the beverage supplier, beer publisher or the brewery forwarded.
- the recorded data of the keg 1 with the corresponding data from other restaurants are merged and evaluated.
- the route planning for the subsequent delivery to the Restaurants can be carried out automatically.
- the hosts of the Restaurants prompt suggestions for replenishing their drinks be submitted.
- the system according to the invention can result in considerable costs for Gastronomy can be saved because the amount of drinks to be kept in stock can be minimized by frequent starts.
- the innkeeper has one reduced capital commitment and automated planning of beverage supply.
- the beer publisher can also save considerable costs, since under certain circumstances a restaurant no longer unnecessary or with too much ballast on the truck must be approached, but the tours are planned as needed can.
