Products:

We received some sample packets of beverage line cleaner from Five Star Brewery Services. We need a couple of volunteers to test their PBW alkaline cleaner and report the results.

We received a specifications data sheet on DigiFlow Systems’ low flow liquid flow meters. The tiny in-line units have rotor blades that interrupt an infrared beam, thus generating a square wave digital output signal. They measure from 0.02-6.6 GPM. I have a call in for the price.
