Shurflo 94-260-01 Installation Manual

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 CO2
or electric power.

Brix Pump

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.

BRIX PUMP 5000-2XX-XX

Installation and Operation Instruction Manual

SHURflo has applied its expertise and years of experience in pump
technology to provide a safe and reliable proportioning pump. Every SHURflo
pump is 100% tested for proper flow, pressure, and performance before it
leaves the factory. Although this tested design will provide years of trouble­free and economical operation, you should use care in installing your system.

DESCRIPTION

The SHURflo BRIX proportioning pump is driven by pressurized water, allowing the water and product to
be delivered at an exact ratio. The pump operates whenever there is a differential in pressure between
the inlet and outlet watersides of the pump. The design incorporates large "duck bill" style valves that
easily allow concentrates with pulp or particulates to flow through. When your customers demand a
quality drink, you are assured that SHURflo technology will deliver accurate repeatable brix without the
need for expensive metering devices.

MODEL OPTIONS

The BRIX pump is offered in two basic configurations, with or without a vacuum shut-off. The last two
numbers of the model indicate the use (-02), or deletion (-01) of the shut-off. The type of conc entrate
container being used determines if the shut-off should be applied.

When a Bag-in-Box (B-I -B) container is used, a vacuum shut-off is needed. The pump will automatically
stop operation, when the concentrate bag is completely evacuated, by closing off the inlet water. When a
new B-I -B is installed, the pump will automatically resume operation without the need to prime the
system. BRIX pumps without a vacuum shut-off option should be used with rigid sided containers like
tanks or jugs. Containers of this type must be vented.

Dashed lines indicate position of vacuum shut-off when ordered.

The BRIX pump is available in exact ratios, which properly proportion various concentrate types. Pump
ratios are indicated on the part number label. The ratio of a pump is preset and is not adjustable in any
way.

DISPENSER CONFIGURATION

The dispenser valve is an important component to the BRIX pump system and contributes heavily to the
final performance. When developing the system, the type of dispenser depends on the customers
requirements, concentrate properties, backpressure created within the lines, and the dispensers ability to
flow. A BRIX pump is designed to deliver to one dispenser valve at a time. If other valves are on line, it is
acceptable only when a lockout device prevents simultaneous operation. Depending on the system
design and the concentrate, finished drink flow rates are generally 1½ - 3 ounce [45-90 cc] per second.

POST MIX

Dispenser valves, which have separate water and concentrate lines, will typically exhibit good
performance. Mixing the drink at the nozzle reduces backpressure, allowing longer outlet tubing lengths.
Pump operation is controlled by opening or closing the water outlet line of the pump. The concentrate line
must not be closed off while the water outlet line is open and the pump is cycling, or damage to the pump
may occur. When multiple concentrates are plumbed to a post-mix dispenser, each pump's water outlet
must have an individual line, valve to open when that flavor is selected.

"Bar Guns" (generally) are restrictive; therefore, it is recommended that special "Juice Guns" be used.
Concentrate passages of standard bar guns are small and may become plugged with pulp or solids
contained in some concentrates. Concentrates with pulps or solids may require sanitizing more
frequently to prevent build-up in the system, causing poor performance.
