The Auper flow meter is celebrating it’s 25th year on the market in 2010. Tens of thousands are in use all over the world in all kinds of draft beer dispensers. Our flow meters are also used regularily to monitor other liquids such as wine, liquor, syrup, juice, coffee, oil and water. The flow meter is made of FDA approved Delrin making it suitable for use in bars and beverage applications. All the components have passed the test of time enduring over decades of caustic wine and beer line cleaning chemicals. The Auper flow meters are known for their durability and reliability as well as for their great accuracy.
In 2009, we made available a digital version of our flow meters ready to connect to third parties electronic digital systems requiring 5 to 12 volts DC pulses for input signals. The small electronic circuit is encapsulated in silicone to protect it from liquids and humidity. Otherwise, all the specifications are the same as our regular analog flow meter that we have been using for the last two and a half decades
Draught beer
The flow meters are usually mounted in the storage room above the kegs, on top of the wall bracket. It is inserted in the rigid tubing and secured to the wall using a plastic bracket when necessary. FOB detectors (also called empty keg detectors) are always recommended for long beer lines. The flow meter should be installed after the FOB which will prevent the flow meter from ever being in contact with foam or air rushing up the line. One flow meter per product line is required. Each flow meter is wired out of the storage room to either one of the four models of Auper electronic beverage flow monitor.

If you are interested in the total amount of soft drink dispensed per dispenser , you need one flow meter connected to the carbonated water line (soda).

By installing the flow meter in the carbonated water (soda) line, you will register the total amount of soft drink served through the dispenser. To measure the quantity of each flavor dispensed, you will need to install one flow meter on each of the syrup lines. For this application it is necessary to use flow meter model number 50-032 (slower flow rate). Please specify when ordering.
