Adjusting the Water to Syrup Ratio (BRIX)
NOTE: During the BRIXing process, agitate the ice in the bin occasionally to ensure that the cold plate is
at the proper operating temperature.
Water and syrup MUST be cold before checking BRIX.
The unit must be BRIXED initially before the unit is put into operation. To BRIX the unit, perform the procedure in
Table 19.
Step
Action
2
Fill a suitable bucket with a soap solution.
3
Submerge all disconnects (gas
and liquid) in the soap solution
and then clean them using a nylon
bristle brush.
(Do not use a wire
brush.)
Rinse with clean, potable
water.
Figure 51.
4
Using a plastic pail, prepare approximately 5 gallons (18.93 l) of sanitizing solution.
5
Sanitizing fittings must be attached to each BIB disconnect. If the fittings are not available,
the fittings from empty BIB bags can be cut from the bags and used. These fittings open
the disconnects so the sanitizing solution can be drawn through the disconnect.
6
Place all the BIB disconnects with
the sanitizing fittings in place into
the pail of sanitizing solution. Use
the “Purging The Syrup Lines”
section on page 25 to purge the
lines. Allow the sanitizer to remain
in the lines for 15 minutes.
Figure 52.
7
While the lines are soaking, remove the nozzles and syrup diffusers and clean them in a
mild soap solution, rinse them with clean water.
8
Use a mechanical sprayer filled with sanitizing solution to spray the nozzles and diffusers
and allow them to air dry.
9
Reassemble the nozzles and syrup diffusers and replace then on the valves.
10
Remove the sanitizing fittings from the BIB disconnects and connect the disconnects to
the appropriate BIB container.
11
Use the “Purging The Syrup Lines” section on page 25 to purge the lines. Continue until all
the sanitizer has been flushed from the system and only syrup is flowing.
