From the company’s press release:


 


Breakthrough for Beverage Delivery Systems: Tubing Proven to Help Eliminate Bacteria


Denver, CO – December 13, 2012 – Eldon James Corporation – a leading, U.S. based manufacturer of


plastic tubing and fittings, announced a major breakthrough for the beer and beverage industry. After


months of testing by a renowned third party food and beverage research facility, it was concluded that


the unique properties of Eldon James’ FlexeleneTM Silver Tubing help eliminate beverage spoiling


bacteria without affecting taste.


A significant challenge for the beverage industry has been to assure


that businesses that dispense their product adhere to the stringent


cleaning standards required to eliminate the buildup of bacteria and


biofilm in beverage delivery lines. This biofilm can adversely affect


taste and the quality of the product at the consumer level. Because of


this reality, the beverage industry has long sought after a solution to


help increase consistency and quality of their product between


cleaning cycles.


Extensive testing was conducted by the prestigious Research Center


Weihenstephan for Brewing and Food Technology in Freising,


Germany. It was concluded that the FlexeleneTM Silver (PVC Free)


Tubing was 100% effective in reducing the concentrations of 3 of the


most common beer and beverage spoiling bacteria after 2,000 liters of


flow as well as statically. The most astonishing result is the impressive


reduction of Lactobacillus brevis, which is determined to be the most


frequently detected microorganism in beer.


The study concluded that, “Eldon James’ FlexeleneTM Silver Tubing is now expected to have a significant


impact on the food and beverage industry.”


Eldon James is a woman owned, Colorado based manufacturer with international reach that has


continued to see growth through difficult economies. Their innovations in antimicrobial and PVC Free


tubing and fittings have continued to strengthen their position in the food and beverage industry.
