SHURflo Brix Series User Manual

Brix Pump
The Brix pump is a proportioning device,
which pumps two liquids (e.g. water and
concentrate) in an exact ratio. The particular
ratio is determined by the pump design, and
is thereby maintained precisely, independent
of system flow or pressure changes, with no
need to regularly readjust brix at the
dispensing valve.
The pump operates on the source pressure of
one of the proportioned liquids; typically the
incoming water eliminating the need for CO
2
or electric power.
The Brix pump is designed with a vacuum shut off. The vacuum shut-off will automatically stop
operation of the brix pump, when the concentrate BIB container is completely evacuated, by closing
off the water inlet. When a new BIB is installed, the pump will automatically resume operation without
the need to prime the system.
The Brix pump is ideally suited to premium juice applications, and incorporates a valve design suitable
for use with syrups containing "stringy" pulp.
