DIRECT DRAW
DISPENSING SYSTEM

Characterized by their compact, user-friendly, and straightforward design, Direct Draw Dispensing Systems are a popular choice for smaller bars, restaurants, offices, and even residential spaces. These systems are well-suited for operations with a smaller selection of draft options or when space is at a premium, providing a practical and efficient solution for dispensing beverages in these contexts.

Features:

REFRIGERATION UNIT

Integrated into the same cabinet or housing as the taps and keeps the kegs cold.

CO2 TANK

Provides the necessary pressure and maintains the carbonation level needed to push beverages from kegs to taps.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Maintains beverages at the desired serving temperature.

TAPS

Faucets on the exterior of the unit allowing you to pour directly from keg.

DRIP TRAY

Located beneath the taps to catch any spills or drips.

BASIC OPERATION OF
A DIRECT DRAW DISPENSING SYSTEM

Direct draw dispensing systems are a prevalent setup found in bars, restaurants, and even households, offering the convenience of on-tap beverage service. Standing out as a compact and self-contained solution, purpose-built for smaller-scale operations, these systems are particularly well-suited for scenarios where the number of taps is limited or when a single keg is designated for a specific beverage variety, providing a streamlined and efficient way to dispense beverages.

Keeps kegs cold in the refrigeration unit

Delivers gas to the kegs for proper pressure

Gas pushes beverages from kegs through the beer lines to taps

Use taps to pour beverage into a glass or cup

HOW EFFECTIVE IS
THE DIRECT DRAW SYSTEM

The effectiveness of a Direct Draw Dispensing System, like any beverage dispensing system, hinges on several factors that are specific to the needs and circumstances of the establishment using it. Here are some considerations that play a pivotal role in determining the effectiveness of a Direct Draw System:

SIMPLE

Easy to setup and maintain.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Refrigeration unit is integrated into the system.

SPACE-SAVING

Good for venues with limited space or compact areas.

COST-EFFECTIVE

Provide the same system as a more complex beverage system for a fraction of the price

THROUGH THE WALL
DIRECT DRAW
DISPENSING SYSTEM

Through The Wall Direct Draw Dispensing Systems are a popular choice for establishments that don’t have space for a full direct draw system. These systems are well-suited for operations with a limited product selection or when space is at a premium, providing a practical and efficient solution for dispensing beverages in these contexts.

Features:

PANELS

Designed to protect the integrity of the walk-in cooler wall and to streamline the installation process. They are equipped with empty keg detectors to combat beverage waste.

BACKSPLASH WITH HANGING DRIP TRAY

Located beneath the taps to catch any spills or drips.

TAPS

Mounted to cooler wall/bar wall, with tray located beneath the taps to catch any spills or drips.

CO2/NITROGEN TANKS

Provides the necessary pressure and maintains the carbonation level needed to push beverages from kegs to taps.

REGULATOR

Regulates flow of gas from tanks to blender.

GAS BLENDER

Mixes CO2 and Nitrogen to optimal blends for specific products

BASIC OPERATION OF
A THROUGH THE WALL SYSTEM

The through the wall system components are also very relative in distance to one another, however, depending on the size of the walk-in cooler, establishments have more flexibility in the number of dispensable products they can offer. Through the wall systems require regulator panels due to the increased pressure that is required to push products from the source to the tap. The intention of the wall dispensed faucet is to allow establishments to utilize their space to the maximum extent possible.

Keeping kegs cold in walk-in cooler

Delivering gas to the kegs for proper pressure

Gas pushes beverages from kegs through the beer lines to taps

Use taps to pour beverage into a glass or cup

HOW EFFECTIVE IS
A THROUGH THE WALL SYSTEM

The effectiveness of a Through The Wall System, like any beverage dispensing system, hinges on several factors that are specific to the needs and circumstances of the establishment using it. Here are some considerations that play a pivotal role in determining the effectiveness of a Through The Wall:

EFFICIENT & EFFECTIVE

Streamlined solution for environments with limited product housing space

CONFIGURABLE

Due to the fact that there is only a backsplash, the wall becomes the tower leading to endless configurations.

SPACE-SAVING

Good for venues with limited space or compact areas.

COST-EFFECTIVE

Provide the same system as a more complex beverage system for a fraction of the price.

By taking these factors into account and customizing the Direct Draw System to align with the specific requirements of the establishment, it can effectively and efficiently serve the needs of the business and its customers. It provides temperature-controlled convenient draft beer service without the complexity of larger systems. When matched with the specific needs and scale of the environment it serves, this innovative system gives you all the tools you need to serve the perfect pour.

Limitations to consider:

SPACE AND LAYOUT

The physical space available and the layout of the establishment can significantly impact the effectiveness of the system. Adequate space for the kegerator, kegs, and dispensing equipment is crucial.

NUMBER OF TAPS

The number of taps required depends on the variety of beverages served. The system should match the establishment's demand for different draft options.

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance and cleaning of the system are essential for ensuring the quality of dispensed beverages. Neglecting maintenance can lead to issues with taste and quality.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Proper temperature control is vital to serving beverages at the desired temperature. Inadequate temperature regulation can affect the quality and taste of the drinks.

PRESSURE CONTROL

Maintaining the correct pressure is critical for controlling carbonation and ensuring the right pour. An effective system should have reliable pressure control mechanisms.

CLEANING AND SANITIZATION

The cleanliness of the dispensing system, lines, and faucets is crucial. Regular cleaning and sanitization prevent bacterial growth and maintain beverage quality.

QUALITY OF COMPONENTS

The quality of the components in the system, such as faucets, couplers, and lines, can impact the systems performance and longevity. Investing in high-quality components can enhance the systems effectiveness.

TRAINING

Staff training is essential to ensure proper use and maintenance of the system. Knowledgeable staff can troubleshoot issues and maintain beverage quality. Improper use due to lack of training will affect the efficiency of the system.

VOLUME OF SERVICE

Consider the volume of beverage service. Systems should be able to handle peak demand without compromising quality.

COST AND BUDGET

The budget available for the system can dictate the level of sophistication and features. Balancing cost with the desired capabilities is important.

BEVERAGE VARIETY

If the establishment serves a wide range of beverages, the system must accommodate the diverse needs, including different temperature and pressure/gas blend requirements.

USER EXPERIENCE

Ultimately, the effectiveness of the system is measured by the satisfaction of customers. A well-maintained and properly functioning Direct Draw System contributes to a positive user experience.
