Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dispensing system for the removal of liquids, in particular beverages such as beer, from a container, in particular a keg, with a dispensing head for placement on a connecting piece, in particular a fitting, of the container, the dispensing head being an inlet opening for the supply of the liquid from the container and has an outlet opening for connection to a connecting line, via which the liquid can be fed to a tap or the like, in particular for the continuous removal of the liquid from the container, and the use of such a dispensing system for managing a beverage dispenser cellar.
  • a dispensing system for the removal of liquids, in particular beverages such as beer
  • Drinks, especially beer, are usually tapped in restaurants using dispensers such as kegs and freshly presented to the guest. After emptying, the kegs are returned to the brewery, cleaned there, refilled and transported back to the bar for serving. Due to their acquisition costs, they represent a relatively high intrinsic value for the beverage industry, but are depreciated almost immediately as a low-value asset due to 5 business rules. Some of the containers are also used improperly or are lost in some sales areas due to theft.
  • identification devices 0 which are intended to permit target tracking. So are currently in Australia, England, Germany, South and North America Containers with barcode labels in use. Recently, barrel containers for beer and non-alcoholic beverages have also been coded using microchips or transponders.
  • these identification devices allow the containers to be detected at the treatment stations of a cleaning and filling system, which are equipped with corresponding reading devices.
  • Such an arrangement, in which the detection of the containers in a cleaning and / or filling system for barrels is carried out with the aid of transponder reading devices is known from the applicant's European patent EP 0 679 605 B1.
  • the identification devices should enable the distributor to check where each barrel has been delivered by means of suitable handheld readers or add-on readers on forklifts.
  • the object of the invention is to expand the use of the identification devices provided on the containers and to enable improved planning of the beer distribution and subsequent delivery.
  • This object is essentially achieved with the invention in a dispensing system of the type mentioned at the outset in that an electronic code reader is provided on the dispensing head, via which data can be read out from a data memory attached to the container, in particular a transponder, and in that the code reader is connected to a data processing device in which the data read from the data memory of the pack is stored, analyzed and / or forwarded to further data processing devices.
  • the invention takes advantage of the fact that each barrel that is delivered to a restaurant is naturally intended to be emptied at a later point in time via a dispensing system. This emptying process is carried out by placing a dispensing head on the container initiated.
  • the code reader provided on the tap head according to the invention thus enables the automatic detection of the containers connected to the tap system.
  • the data read out can be used to manage the beverage cellar and check the connected container.
  • the code reader reads identification data from the data memory of the container, the data processing device preferably recording the time when the dispensing head is connected and disconnected from the container.
  • a volume counter is provided at the outlet opening of the dispensing head, by means of which the dispensed amount of liquid can be detected and passed on to the data processing device.
  • the randomly occurring amount of consumption can be recorded at the same time and used to manage the beverage cellar.
  • the data processing device is assigned a display unit, via which it is indicated that the container will soon be empty. This means that the host can plan and prepare the barrel change process in good time.
  • the dispensing system is used to manage a beverage dispensing cellar in that the identification data of the containers treated in the dispensing system are stored in a data processing device and related to the connection and disconnection times of the packaging to a dispensing head and / or the liquid volume flowing through the dispensing head.
  • the identification and dispensing data of the container are transmitted to a beverage supplier via a data line.
  • the data transmitted to the beer publisher or the brewery can relate to the identification number of the cask served, its remaining content and the various volumes served throughout the day. This enables the supplier to plan tours automatically, in addition to the usual basal metabolic rate of the restaurant, the randomly occurring consumption quantities are also recorded correctly.
  • the beverage supplier can make suggestions to the host in good time as to which products he needs to replenish his beverage supply.
  • the identification data of the container are checked in the data processing device and the dispensing system is blocked if the identification data of the container indicate an error.
  • a blocking can be initiated if the liquid contained in the container exceeds the expiry date stored in the data memory or if it is a foreign container from another brewery, a type of beer not intended for the individual tap or the like.

  • the identification data of the keg 1 are fed via a data line 6 to a data processing device 7, stored there and possibly analyzed.
  • the dispensing head 3 is also connected via a connecting line 8 to a dispensing tap 9 of the dispensing system, via which the beverage liquid is filled, for example, into a beer glass 10.
  • a volume counter 12 is provided, by means of which the quantity of liquid drawn is recorded and then also forwarded via the data line 6 to the data processing device 7, where it is assigned to the identification data of the keg 1. If it is determined in the data processing device 7 that the filling volume of the keg 1 is nearing its end, one of the data processing devices 7 is used or the display unit 13 assigned to the tap 9 indicates that the barrel will soon be empty and an exchange should be prepared.
  • the identification and dispensing data of the container recorded in the data processing device are forwarded via a further data line 14 to a central computer 15 of the beverage supplier, beer publisher or the brewery.
  • the recorded data of keg 1 are merged with the corresponding data from other restaurants and evaluated.
  • the tour planning for subsequent delivery to the restaurants can be carried out automatically.
  • the hosts of the restaurants can be made suggestions in good time to replenish their drinks.
  • the system according to the invention can save considerable costs in the catering trade, since the quantity of drinks to be kept in stock can be minimized by frequent start-ups.
  • the innkeeper has a reduced capital commitment and automated planning of the beverage supply.
  • the beer publisher can also save considerable costs, since under certain circumstances a restaurant no longer has to be driven to unnecessarily or with too much ballast on the truck, but the tours can be planned as required.
  • the data of the connected container recorded in the dispenser can also increase the safety of the dispenser or avoid operator errors.
  • the tap can be blocked, for example if the data read from the keg 1 results in an overlay of the liquid over the expiration date or if a third-party keg or keg is connected with a type of beer not intended for the corresponding tap. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
