How To Dispense Oil From A 35 Lb. Container Using A Spigot
Video by: Kevin Smith, Operations Manager
Hi, thank you for choosing Centra Foods.
Today I’d like to show you how to use our spigot kit that we include with our 35 Lb. JIBs (Jug in Boxes).
When you get the kit, it will be in a plastic bag. Open it up, [and you will see] there are two parts:
1. the lid, and
2. the spigot itself
On the lid there is a “knock out”. You can either cut that out with a clean utility knife, or you can use a punch or a hammer to knock it out. Then, the two just screw together.
The final assembly: once you have it assembled like our unit here, remove the lid of your JIB and then remove the foil tamper seal with a clean utility knife (or what ever tool you most commonly use at your facility). Discard that, and then your spigot screws on in place of the lid.
There is a gasket on the spigot, so there is enough room to turn it in whichever direction you want and still not leak. You don’t have to over tighten it; just have it just pointed to the side.
On your spigot, one thing I’d like to show you (and you probably can’t see well in the video, but once you have yours you will easily be able to see it) is that when you have the handle all the way up on this side, you will actually see there is an oval opening. That is actually the opening on the spigot.
You want to make sure that opening is not in line with your spigot stem here — otherwise when you set your JIB on its side, oil will come out. So, make sure its closed and all you have to do is make sure you can see that opening and that will make sure the oil won’t come out unexpectedly.
The spigot is on, so turn your JIB on its side (and depending on your operation, you may use a jug you could use a bucket or batch of some kind) and open the spigot. Oil comes out!
Go ahead fill your container to whatever level you need it.
Once you turn it off, go ahead and give it a couple of seconds [to drip], because the residual oil will go ahead and drain out.
Now, you have your container of oil. It is as easy as that to use a spigot!
Thank you very much.
