Tips for Enhancing Health and Safety

The Challenges of Managing Drinks Dispense Gas Cylinders

Drinks dispense gas cylinders come in various sizes, capacities, and weights, depending on their application. For example, a 6.35kg CO₂ cylinder used for lagers provides 880 pints worth of gas. While a couple of these cylinders may suffice for some venues, high-volume venues often require more frequent replacements. This means either storing extra cylinders in the cellar or ordering new ones, neither of which is ideal. Running out of gas mid-service can lead to staff leaving the front of house to change cylinders or place orders, resulting in a short-staffed bar during busy periods.

Introducing the Fit & Forget System

Air Products offers a unique Fit & Forget CO₂ supply system for venues that sell carbonated drinks at high volume. This system, which includes a micro tank, nitrogen gas generator, and smart Fit & Forget technology, eliminates the need for manual handling of heavy cylinders and time-consuming changeovers.

Health and Safety Benefits

1. Reduced Manual Handling: The Fit & Forget system removes the need for staff to manually handle heavy gas cylinders, significantly reducing the risk of workplace injuries such as strains and sprains.
2. Minimized Cellar Hazards: By eliminating the need for multiple gas cylinders in the cellar, the system reduces clutter and potential tripping hazards, creating a safer working environment.
3. Automated Monitoring and Delivery: Integrated telemetry monitors gas levels in the tank and sends a signal to Air Products to schedule a delivery when gas is running low. Deliveries are handled seamlessly through an external fill point, allowing gas to be delivered at any time without staff involvement, ensuring continuous service without interruptions.

Space Optimization: One 180kg tank stores the equivalent of 28 x 6.35kg standard CO₂ cylinders, freeing up valuable cellar space for other uses and reducing the physical burden on staff.

Improving Service Efficiency

Switching to the Fit & Forget CarboStore™ drinks dispense gas system allows staff to focus more on front-of-house service and less on managing the gas supply. This leads to a more efficient service, enhancing customer satisfaction and overall venue performance.

Conclusion

Say goodbye to gas cylinders and hello to a safer, more efficient service. The Fit & Forget drinks dispense gas system not only improves operational efficiency but also significantly enhances health and safety for your staff.
