Fostering innovative thinking through close partnerships between pub companies and their supply chain partners can provide many competitive advantages. Air Products and Young & Co.’s Brewery have worked together for over 15 years; during that time they have taken a proactive approach to drinks dispense and used fresh thinking to unlock further improvements in areas such as efficiency. Through Air Products’ CryoEase® service, this latest agreement will see all Young & Co.’s network of pubs benefit from the modern concept of Microbulk drinks dispense gases. This system provides a simple and convenient alternative to cylinders for customers requiring a continuous supply of high purity gases for beer and soft drinks dispense. In confined pub cellars where space is often a premium, replacing cylinder stocks with a compact gas storage system that has a far smaller footprint can be invaluable. Pipework from the CryoEase® tank will deliver gas directly to the keg or drinks container in Young’s pubs, where it helps to displace oxygen and keep the drink fresh and carbonated. From here, the drinks product is piped straight to the dispensing tap at the bar to be enjoyed and when gas replenishment is needed, it takes place automatically. This is a great advantage for the Young’s team who can spend more time serving customers rather than changing cylinders in the cellar. Although achieving efficiencies is key, serving the perfect pint without any risk of cross contamination is of the utmost importance. Young’s have proven that the CryoEase® system, which uses certified gas purity, delivers in this area as well. Bill Epsley, Commercial Manager at Young & Co.'s Brewery commented: “Our long-term experience of bulk-gas systems is that they provide an efficient means of dispense, reduce or eliminate the need to store and manually handle gas cylinders, which makes them popular with our staff. We are therefore pleased to be able to extend the use of these systems to the further benefit of both our customers and our staff.” Noor Ali, Air Products’ Industrial Gases Commercial Manager for the UK & Ireland, said, “The diversity of our business and the differentiation we can bring – from dispense gases to helium – can make a real difference to the leisure industry. “We’re pleased to be continuing and expanding our relationship with Young & Co. who value our gases and cutting edge technology, along with our team’s expertise in areas such as safety legislation.” 14 BREWING & BEVERAGE INDUSTRIES BUSINESS www.airproducts.co.uk For more information visit: Air Products extends Young’s contract Conveyor solution for Welsh brewery Equipment news Great Orme Brewery is a 12.5 barrel microbrewery in Wales, which was established in November 2005 by Jonathan Hughes. Jonathan approached UniTrak Powderflight as the brewery was increasing its capacity by around two and a half times. Due to expansion the brewery was moving to new premises which meant the equipment they had was no longer fit-for-purpose and a new solution was required. The challenge was to raise malted barley from one level to another in its simplest form without damaging the product but allowing a reach from the dry raw materials room into the brewing room. Jonathan stated: “It is very important that the dry raw materials are kept away from the dampness of the brewing room itself and so we have to keep them in separate rooms, otherwise this spoils the dry materials. The volume of materials being used at the old plant was around one third of a ton and now it’s a lot closer to two thirds of a ton. This can’t be mixed by hand so needs a mechanical way of doing it so it can be more efficient.” After a very open discussion about the challenges and the solution that the brewery needed, UniTrak Powderflight’s Phil Booth guided Jonathan through the process of what could be done. Phil recommended that the F75 UniFlex Conveyor would be best as it is ideal to handle malted barley. The F75 UniFlex Conveyor is simple but sturdy in design. The receiving hopper, which can be fabricated from mild or stainless steel, is attached to a food- grade polyethylene tube. Situated within it is the only moving part of the conveyor, the stainless steel spiral which draws the grist to the discharge chute. Great Orme Brewery had approached three other companies, but found that UniTrak Powderflight was better with a quick all-rounded package, with competitiveness, no hard sell and the quality of the advice given. Jonathan said: “UniTrak would be our first port of call for a similar sort of solution”. www.unitrakpowderflight.com For more information visit: 14_Layout 1 28/07/2016 09:44 Page 1
