Taylor-Wharton Introduces New Beverage Carbonation System

EasyCARB® offer complete range of CO₂ storage and delivery solutions

Harsco Gas & Fluid Control Group ‘s Taylor-Wharton Industrial Gas Division is pleased to announce the introduction of their new Beverage Carbonation System - easyCARB® . The easyCARB® System is segmented into two groups, the EC Series for normal CO₂ flow rate demands such as: convenience stores, night clubs, fast food and family restaurants -- and the TCM Series for applications that require much higher flow rates like water parks, and sport stadiums. Together they represent the safest and most efficient choice for an uninterrupted supply of CO₂ in the industry.

According to Andrew W. Pazahanick, Senior Account Executive & Director -Sales CO₂ Cryogenic Products, "We are very mindful of the rising costs that our CO₂ distributors are facing. To aid in combating these rising costs, Taylor-Wharton has developed the new EC-450 which holds an additional 50 lbs., but is priced the same as our older model. Additionally, we’ve upgraded the piping to include hard plumbing for an increased life expectancy. Our easyCARB® system is very efficient and reliable and offers its users a tremendous amount of versatility and freedom."

The easyCARB® system is designed for use in applications that use as little as 3.0 lbs. per hour (1.4 kg/hr) or as high as 60 lbs. per hour (27.2 kg/hr). Both the EC and the TCM models feature: all metal hard fittings and plumbing lines, isolation valves for easy service, heavy duty low temperature final regulators, fill line safety relief valves, non-binding contents gauges and the efficient venturi fill system – a precise machined nozzle for faster fills.

Taylor Wharton also features a national network of beverage carbonation distributors that provide sales and service throughout North America. These factory trained and authorized distributors provide users with worry and hassle-free filling and service programs that allows users to tend to their customers.

Taylor Wharton and its beverage carbonation distributors will be exhibiting the new EC series tanks at the National Association of Convenience Stores, NACS, annual show in Las Vegas on October 21 - 23, 2001.
