This is the latest model of the machine, and the one we sell, the HD3720/25. The HD3720/26 is identical but uses a euro plug as opposed to a UK one. The PerfectDraft Machine has a width of 286 mm, a depth of 493 mm and a height of 444 mm, including the handle.
How it Operates:
- The Philips PerfectDraft works by using a cooling plate and a fan to chill the keg inside to 3 degrees Celsius.
- A pump at the back of the machine forces air into the keg and compresses the bag inside, dispensing the beer.
Machine Components:
- Tap Unit – The tap unit fits on top of the keg using two rubber seals and the tube fits into the top of it.
- Tap Handle – Part of the tap unit. These can be removed and custom ones fitted.
- Medallions – Small magnet decorations for the top of the Tap Handle
- Cooling Plate – Located at the bottom of the machine, the keg sits on top
- Pump – Located at the back of the machine, compresses the bag inside the keg.
- Fan – Located at the back of the machine, this runs constantly and keeps the kegs cool in addition to the cooling plate
- Tube – Comes attached to each keg, fits in the top of the tap unit. They are single use and should be changed with every keg
