Brix Pump
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 CO
2
or electric power.
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.

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. - Page 5 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.
- Page 6 TEED OUTLETS By "teeing" the water and concentrate outlet lines together a standard beverage (non-post mix) valve can be used. A single line to the valve allows the concentrate and water to mix before being dispensed. Teed systems are commonly used with "batch mix" application such as visual units, bubblers and frozen carbonated beverage.

Page 7: Inlet Conditions
The inlet water source should be plumbed with 1/2"[13mm] inside diameter (I.D.) tubing and have a shut- off valve. The water source pressure should be regulated to a maximum of 50 psi [3.4 bar]. The SHURflo Water Pressure Reducing Valve (P/N: 183-0XX) can be used in place of a regulator. -
Page 8: Start-Up Procedure
In a facility where the concentrate cannot be located near the BRIX pump, it can be pumped from a remote location using a SHURflo beverage or juice gas pump (P/N 166-200-XX). The BRIX pump must not have positive pressure at the concentrate inlet line. The SHURflo Vacuum Regulator (P/N 186-054- 00) must be installed prior to the concentrate inlet fitting of the pump, allowing concentrate to enter the pump under vacuum. -
Page 9: Materials Required
Place concentrate inlet line into the bucket so that the Q.C.D. will stay at the bottom. Position the SHURflo Sanitizing Valve in the "Sanitize" mode. Open the dispenser valve allowing ALL the solution to be pulled through the Q.C.D. fitting into the BRIX pump and out the water outlet line through to the dispenser. -
Page 10: Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING When the BRIX pump system is properly installed and maintained it can continually deliver quality drinks with trouble-free operation. However, during "real world" operation various conditions may occur within the facility that affects the systems performance. Listed below are various situations that may affect a correctly installed system: I. -
Page 11: Valve Inspection
NOTE: Valve kit (# 94-402-02) is available for in field replacement, contact your SHURflo distributor for information. Complete instructions are included with each kit. 3. Reassemble each cartridge so that the valve support is not holding the valve open. Lubricate the serrated surface of the valves and o -rings with an NSF listed food grade lubricant. -
Page 12: Return Policy
For pumps that do not operate, warm water from a faucet must be run through inlet fitting ports as soon as it is removed (see SHURflo Service Bulletin # 1046). Pumps that are returned to SHURflo that are not sanitized/flushed will be dispositioned as a "scrapped pump"... - Page 13 "scrapped pump". Returns may be shipped with the postage prepaid to either of our service centers (SHURflo East; Elkhart, IN or West Coast facility; Cypress, CA). Package all returns carefully. SHURflo will not be responsible for freight damage incurred during shipping to a service center.
