The PCSS fitment ensures a precise and controlled mix of beverages by connecting post-mix syrup or Bag-in-Box juice to the commercial fountain dispensing machines.

It features two extended side tabs to make the connection using its PCSS+ screw-on line-side connector.

The PCSS fitment, which is compatible with industry screw-on connectors, is available in high stress for juice and high-acid products.

According to the company, the redesigned fitment will allow restaurant operators to securely screw the connector and prevent over-tightening.

The company’s DuraBev bag is a highly puncture-resistant embossed film bag that uses Rapak’s embossed film technology to provide evacuation performance in excess of 99.4% when compared to standard post-mix bags.
