Whilst thecompany developed thefirst tube-in-tubeconnector over 20 yearsago, the range hasrecently been extended tofurther satisfy therequirements of a draughtbeer dispense system,from beer barrel to tap. A tube-in-tube systemcan help maintain criticaltemperature conditioningof beer or beverage in thepipeline by enabling eachproduct tube to be fullyenveloped by recirculating coolant, usually either water or a water glycolblend, over the entire pipeline length. Subject to system configuration, thismay offer significant benefits to the retail outlet, brand owner andconsumer when compared to a traditional draught dispense system orpackaged product restriction.The advantages of Polarclean® include: consistent temperature at pour;extra cold temperature capability; a reduction of microbiological activity atlow temperatures, and genuine draught dispense where not previouslyviable.
