The BeerBlast™ - Mixed Gas Dispense System was designed to meet the needs of the draft beer industry. Simply, The BeerBlast™ generates its own Nitrogen (N2) from the air using a safe, straightforward process and utilizes an integral McDantim™ blender to produce the perfect blend of CO2 and N2. These blended gases, recommended by all major brewers, maintain the beer quality from the keg to the pint glass.

The (3) main variables in a draft beer system are (1) pushing the beer to the taps with the right pressure of gas, (2) maintaining the proper temperature of the beer and (3) pushing the beer from the keg to the tap with the perfect blend of CO2 and Nitrogen. The BeerBlast™– Mixed Gas Dispense System provides that perfect blend of gas therefore protecting the kegged product quality, eliminating over-foaming, keeping the product properly carbonated, and therefore resulting in a perfect draft beer pour!

That perfect draft beer pour also means no more wasted beer down the drain due to over-carbonation. The BeerBlast™ allows your restaurant/pub to begin each day with the beer pouring from the taps properly and keeps your bartenders from dumping pitcher after pitcher of foam, expensive product, down the drain. Empty each keg and maximize your restaurant/pubs profits!

So, let the BeerBlast™ - Mixed Gas Dispense System provide your customer with a great tasting beer and see first hand how this turn key system will not only provide a quality draft beer but also maximize customer satisfaction and most definitely increase your restaurant/pubs draft beer profits!

How the BeerBlast ™ works

The BeerBlast™ provides an economical, precise means of supplying mixed beer gas to "push" the beer to the tap within restaurant and pubs establishments. Beer brewers have established recommended Carbon-Dioxide (CO2) and Nitrogen (N2) mixed gas ratios to protect the kegged product quality, eliminating over-foaming or under-carbonation, while increasing the keg life. Precise mixed beer gas lowers operational costs, increases yields/profits, and ultimately provides a higher level of customer satisfaction. This system can also be used for wine or specialty mixed drinks dispensing systems.

The BeerBlast™ consists of an internal Nitrogen generator, compressor, and a CO2/N2 dual output gas blender. Since air is comprised of ~79% N2, the BeerBlast™ simply and cost-effectively separates the N2 from the air. Nitrogen is an inert gas (non-combustible), which is even used to package food products for increased shelf life. The N2 is “generated” by means of the air compressor simply pushing air into the membrane element, which in turn mechanically separates N2 molecules from other molecules found within the air. The beverage quality N2 is then stored in a Nitrogen storage tank at 80 psi. When the bartender opens the tap handle and gas is needed to “push” the beer from the keg to the tap, Nitrogen is then forwarded from the storage tank to the integral McDantim™ dual output gas blender which precisely blends the N2 and CO2 from the restaurant/pub’s in house CO2 storage cylinder / bulk tank. The standard CO2/N2 blends available are 60% / 40% for lagers, 25% / 75% for your Guinness and Boddingtons, and 100% N2 for the WineLast™ or mixed drink machines.

Using the correct ratio ensures that the beer maintains the desired pressure and carbonation so that the beer doesn’t become flat or over carbonated. These are 2 conditions that cause over foaming and waste. By eliminating these conditions with a BeerBlast™, you can improve profits and customer satisfaction immensely.

Certain establishments have existing McDantim CO2/N2 TrumixTM blenders installed and are using high pressure Nitrogen Cylinders in conjunction with the blender. The BeerBlastTM N2-GEN cost effectively generates Nitrogen to satisfy the N2 needs for existing blenders, thus eliminating the need for bottled Nitrogen or pre-mixed cylinders. This turn key system allows you to focus on running your business instead of being hassled with changing high pressure cylinders and potentially experiencing a gas run-out. Let the N2-GEN™ provide your restaurant/pub with its own Nitrogen so that you can direct your attention on presenting quality food and draft beer to your customer

The BlastOff™ – Leak Detection System, a Patented system, when installed into the BeerBlast™ will detect line leaks within the downstream gas lines from the BeerBlast™ to the kegs. Line leaks could be due to a keg not being tapped correctly, a beer gas line failing, regulator malfunction, etc. These leaks are potential safety hazards since harmful and deadly gasses can quickly accumulate in the keg cooler. These gases are odorless and unknowingly can lead to suffocation. Not only can leaks be a tremendous liability but they also deplete the gas powering you draft beer system and lead to costly gas run-outs which result in revenue loss for your restaurant/pub. With the BlastOff™ warning mechanism, it eliminates any downtime by notification of a leak when it occurs.

Once a leak has been detected, the BlastOff™ is set to initiate a buzzer, activate a warning light and shut off the BeerBlast™. The instructions on the front of the BeerBlast™ recommend calling our 24/7 customer support number or contacting your local gas company to locate the leak. There will be no downtime since all one has to do is simply turn off the power switch and turn it back on. The BeerBlast™ will be up and running once again until the leak in your draft beer system can be properly diagnosed. Save money, time, aggravation, decrease your liability and also protect your BeerBlast™ from excessive runtime due to either a catastrophic or pinhole leak downstream!

Restaurants serving wine by the glass no longer need to worry about partially full re-corked wine bottles loosing their freshness while sitting overnight or for days. The key to preserving wine in bottles that have been opened is to prevent prolonged exposure to air. Air trapped within a re-corked wine bottle causes wine to oxidize, thus the wine quickly becomes stale. The WineLast™ conveniently mounts under your bar and allows you to keep wine fresh longer by purging with Nitrogen.
