ProLine Manual Keg Filler - GW Kent

ProLine Manual Keg Filler
This device is designed to quickly, easily and affordably counter-pressure fill carbonated
beverage kegs.
Features:
1 Sanke Keg Tap, Stainless steel body, 304 stainless steel probe.
2 Stainless Steel ball valves with Delrin (autoclave safe) seal material.
Built-in plastic washer. Standard beer nut threads.
2 Stainless steel beer nut to ½” hose barb fittings.
A standard beer ‘Y’ fitting
The key to this system is the Lexan Valve Body (patent pending) that is engineered to
allow a keg to be filled smoothly and quickly (about 10 minutes), with a minimum
amount of foam and automatically stop filling the keg when full.
This output is tapped with a standard ¼” female NPT:
- This allows for a standard male pipe thread to hose barb fitting to be installed,
containing the dribbles.
- Metering hole adjustment: the ¼” female NPT fitting can be fitted with a needle
valve for metering the counter flow.
Note: When installed on the ‘Y’ fitting the Valve Body needs to be pointed up!
The second ball valve on the lower ‘Y’ is normally closed. This port can be capped with
a beer thread cap for filling 1/6 th barrel kegs.
Filling procedures:
1. Cold carbonated beer from a bright beer tank is transferred via a hose to the Keg
Tap. With the Fill Valve on the Keg Tap closed – connect the Keg Tap to a
cleaned, sanitized and pressurized beer keg.
Note: the keg should be pressurized a few pounds higher than the cold carbonated
beer.

2. The counter pressure gas will begin to bleed out of the valve body immediately.
Open the Fill Valve – when the pressure in the keg is lower than the beer in the
bright tank - the keg will begin to fill.
3. When the beer level gets to the top - beer flows into the Valve Body - this causes
the ball to float and closes the relief port – stopping the flow of beer.
4. When keg is full – close the Fill Valve and remove the Keg Tap.
Beer should drain from the valve body – and you are ready to tap the next keg.
Rinse – dry – cap the keg.
Trouble Shooting:
Keg not full: Too much foam – warm beer – over carbonated – out of beer?
Metering hole gets plugged – use a sewing needle to open the hole.
Beer may need to be run through a coarse filter to remove particulates.
Be careful to not over size the hole – as this will change the fill rate.
