How To Use A Spigot Dispenser For The 35 Lb. Containers [VIDEO]

Posted by Hannah Broaddus

If you are a food service distributor (or a customer of a distributor) you may have wondered if there’s an easier way to dispense from your 35 Lb. Containers, other than picking up the jug and pouring it.

35Lber Spigot For OilI’ve tried to do that, and it’s always an awkward ordeal — you’ve got to muscle the box up to your measuring bowl, and your arms are straining to control the flow. After just a few days, this system can get tiresome and may have you searching for a better process.

The good news is that there IS a better way, and it’s really quite simple.
You can put your 35 Lb. Containers on their side on a shelf, and attach a spout or spigot to the opening to pour out of.

The video above will show you how to attach one of two possible spouts or spigots to the 35 Lb. Containers (also known as JIBs or Carboys). These spouts will screw into the 35 Lbers, allowing you to smoothly pour the oil out.

 

Wide vs. Narrow Mouth Spouts

There are both narrow-mouth and wide-mouth spouts available, allowing you to more easily control the flow of oil coming out. We recommend the narrow mouth spouts for dispensing into small sample bottles or glass bottles for a restaurant table top. The larger bottles are good for higher-volume dispensing to speed up the pouring process.

 

Other Details To Note

  • Make sure that once you lay the container on its side that you puncture a small hole in the top of it to release the pressure and let air in. This will allow the oil to flow smoothly out instead of glugging.
  • The spouts come in two parts, and you’ll need to connect them. To do this, you’ll need to pop the plastic circle out of the valve, and connect the spigot portion. The plastic is strong, so you may need to use a blade to remove this plastic circle.


Who Should Use A Spout

This solution is ideal for anyone who has restricted space or wants an easier way to dispense from their 35 Lb oil containers.

  • Soap Makers
  • Restaurants (especially those with oil bottles on their tables)
  • Small Manufacturing Facilities
  • Home Businesses
  • Corporate or Shared Kitchens
