Praxair Launches XactCO2, an Innovative Beverage Carbonation Solution for Restaurants and Bars
May 15 2017 - 9:30AM
Business Wire
Praxair, Inc. (NYSE:PX) announced today that its subsidiary,
NuCO2, the largest provider of fountain beverage carbonation in the
U.S., has launched the XactCO2 HP (high-pressure) patent-pending
fill system, a permanent, scalable carbon dioxide cylinder supply
system for restaurants and bars. The XactCO2 HP fill system is
currently being launched in Denver, Atlanta, and the greater San
Francisco area, and will be launched nationwide later in 2017.
How it works
Cylinders are located inside the facility and connected to a
small fill box located outside the site (the fill box is only six
inches by six inches and two inches deep). NuCO2 service
representatives fill the cylinder system from a truck at regularly
scheduled intervals that support the establishment’s monthly volume
requirements. This results in fountain soft drinks and draught beer
being properly carbonated with certified beverage grade carbon
dioxide.
Advantages
The XactCO2 HP fill system offers a safe, reliable, economical
and efficient beverage solution for customers’ beverage carbonation
needs. The system is convenient as users can “set it and forget
it.” With standard deliveries based on establishment usage
patterns, customers can spend less time reviewing fill status and
ordering product. The system can also help reduce product loss and
service interruptions, as it does not require people to move
individual cylinders in and out of their restaurants. Additionally,
this new system may help customers manage compliance and carbon
dioxide costs. All of these advantages are backed by customer
service 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
“We are very pleased to be rolling out this innovative beverage
system that supports our customers with features that are not
available today,” said Gerald Miller, president NuCO2. “In addition
to offering customers reliability and convenience, in some cases,
customers have saved thousands of dollars when compared to their
prior installations. Simply put, the XactCO2 HP fill system makes
our customers’ jobs easier while helping them increase their bottom
line – a true win-win solution.”
NuCO2 is the only national provider of beverage grade
carbon dioxide certified using ISBT guidelines and draught beer
grade nitrogen gas solutions to the restaurant and hospitality
industry. The company provides reliable, economical and convenient
beverage carbonation solutions to more than 172,000 customers and
carbonates over 43 million drinks every day. NuCO2 is also the
primary beverage gas supplier to the top 100 national restaurant
chains.
