Important Update on Line Cleaning Products

Further to previous updates earlier in the year, just a reminder that Proton, our supplier of line cleaner and glass cleaning products, has recently been taken over by Selden Research and has made some changes to the lines they produce.

The most significant change, and the one which impacts our business owners, is that Protinate Line Cleaner will now be sold without the dye tracer, as unfortunately, this is no longer being produced. We’d like to confirm that the product is exactly the same as you are used to, and we advise that you follow the same safety procedures as you usually would (full PPE: gloves, goggles, aprons, and protective footwear).

We recommend:

While flushing beer lines out with water, count how many pints of beer are pulled through at the bar so you can work out exactly how much line cleaner to pull through to make sure all beer lines are full of line cleaner. This will also indicate how much water you will need to pull through on the final water rinse. We recommend twice the amount of liquid in beer lines to make sure all traces of line cleaning chemicals have been properly rinsed out before reconnecting beer products.

Should you have any questions, training requirements, or even need a refresher, please do not hesitate to contact Terry or Tom, and they will be happy to help and advise.
