Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0409305A2] A device for cleansing beverage lines, especially beer lines, each intended to be connected at one end with a coupling member to be inserted into the bung hole (33) of a barrel (3A-3D), the other end leading to a corresponding tap (1), the coupling member being provided with a connection for connecting it with a container of carbon dioxide, in order to place the interior of the barrel (3A-3D) under pressure of carbon dioxide, and a dip tube (29) to be inserted into the barrel (3), which tube is or is to be connected to the corresponding line, a three-way valve being incorporated in the line which is adapted to connect this line selectively with said dip tube (29) or with a line for rinsing liquid. According to the invention the three-way valve (4a,4b, 4c,4d) is an integral unit (28) with the corresponding coupling member and is provided with a driving means which, by means of a corresponding actuating member (21a,21b,21c,21d) located adjacent to the relative tap (1a,1b,1c,1d), may be remotely actuated in order to allow each line (5a-5b) to be rinsed separately from the three-way valve (4a-4d) and the tap (1a-1d). Moreover the invention relates to a special coupling member and a tap intended for use with the device according to the invention.
