A FOB detector is designed to keep your lines filled with beer. The FOB detects an empty keg and shuts down the beer flow. What this does is eliminate the foam you get from an empty keg. It also eliminates the need to refill lines with beer and purge air from the system. Without a FOB installed on your beer line, when your keg goes empty, your tap starts spitting and spraying foam.
There are several pieces of hardware common to keg beer delivery systems. A gas canister (usually CO2) to pressurize and push the beer through the lines. A tap to attach to the keg. A regulator to set the correct gas pressure. Faucets and towers to fill the glasses. Cleaning equipment to help clear the lines and assure sanitary beer delivery.
Long Draw beer systems have several advantages for busy establishments. All of the kegs are kept in one large walk-in cooler. Kegs can be more easily hooked up in series to avoid running out at peak times. Less room is required in the service area for beer since the bulky kegs are elsewhere. Multiple service points can be supplied from one central keg cooling location.
