8. Device Maintenance
Only the personnel who have studied the operations manual and have been trained to safely
operate the device should be allowed to maintain the device.
A heavy daily beer ow through the PEGAS Evolution may eventually clog the beer supply ele-
ments, as well as the drain and throttle parts, and hoses.
In order to avoid the clogging and fouling of device elements, the dispenser should be washed
and disinfected regularly.
Washing
To clean the device a sanitary liquid should be supplied from a hose-adapted container placed
at the beer keg position. The beer supply hose and the PEGAS Evolution device itself are the
rst ones to be washed. In order to wash the drain hose, a plastic bottle should be placed into
the down-hold mechanism. When the plastic bottle overows, the drain and throttle elements
are clean.
PEGAS Evolution Sanitary Standards
Sanitary Rules for the Brewing and Beverage Industry (СП) 3244-85* stipulate that dispensing
devices should be washed daily for 30 minutes both in hot (60°C) and cold water.
Weekly disinfection of the device (using Antiformin, Sulfochlorantin, Benzalkonium Chloride dis-
infectants) and a thorough rinse with water until the full dissolution of the disinfecting agent has
been reached is required.
* This standarts is currently in effect in the territory of the Russian Federation. Maintenance of the device should be done according
