From the lab to the real world, learn why Draught Guard continues to prove itself more effective than just a regular chemical cleaning cycle.
Draught Guard's proprietary technology propagates a low-frequency signal throughout the entire beer line, no matter the length of run and regardless of flow. This omnipresent and oscillating treatment signal prevents the growth of biofilm and calcium oxalate, or beer stone, and protects your beer while served on tap.
Draught Guard is built on the same technology that has been embraced by Fortune 100 companies, government organizations and power plants for commercial and heavy industrial water treatment.
Before bringing it to the draught beer world, we made sure we did our homework.We offer leasing services for a variety of industries, including real estate, transportation, and technology. Our team of experts is committed to finding the best leasing solutions for your business needs. Contact us today to learn more!
In 2008, ASHRAE commissioned a study through the University of Pittsburgh to evaluate non-chemical water treatment systems and their efficacy in controlling sessile bacteria (biofilm) in cooling water systems. The initial test evaluated systems utilizing ultrasound, magnetic, electrostatic, and cavitation technologies. None of these devices showed an ability to inhibit microbial growth rates compared to the control.
The Food & Beverage industry, including breweries, utilize ATP testing to monitor sanitation throughout their operations. We've embraced ATP testing to measure the effectiveness of Draught Guard in maintaining line cleanliness compared to the BA recommended two-week caustic cleaning cycle.
Standard in the water treatment world, dip slides provide a quick, reliable and effective means of determining the levels of bacteria, yeast and mold present in water samples. Testing the push water flushed through the beer lines over the course of each pilot, dip slide information reveals that Draught Guard outperforms the regular two-week or monthly caustic cycle.

Draught Guard not only maintains line cleanliness between caustic flushes, but can improve overall draught quality. Paired with regular faucet/coupler maintenance, Draught Guard delivers the highest form of draught quality.
It takes just one off flavor or scent for a customer to avoid a particular beer. With Draught Guard in place, you can feel assured that the beer will taste, smell, and appear as it was originally crafted to.
With Draught Guard keeping your lines just as clean, if not cleaner, at 12 weeks than caustic-treated lines at 2 weeks, feel confident in extending your regular line cleaning schedule to save beer, water, and labor.
An extended cleaning cycle allows for significant savings in beer, water, labor and money. Find out how much you can save by implementing Draught Guard in your system.
We get it. Caustics and acids have been the only viable option for cleaning draught lines. Mitigate potential safety risks by reducing your dependency on chemicals.
Craft breweries make it a priority to to implement sustainable practices. With extended cleaning cycles, hundreds if not thousands of gallons of water can be saved each year.
Line cleaning is a part of doing business. We're not arguing that, nor are we replacing it. Rather, we've delivered a more cost efficient means of cleaning lines.
Paranoid that your beer and reputation are at risk on tap? Not sure your employee did a thorough job? Can't get into the stadium to clean this week? Draught Guard has you covered in between caustic cleanings.
Expanding your line cleaning operation? Spend less time on site flushing lines and running caustic, and pay more attention to faucets, couplers, and creating a more efficient (and effective) process.
Draught Guard works by generating and propagating a low frequency AC signal throughout the entire beer line. This sine wave that is induced into the line produces a dense current throughout the inner lining of the beer line, otherwise known as a skin effect. This skin effect inhibits the particulate or organics within the beer from settling out and attaching to the line, reducing and preventing the formation of biofilm and beerstone. Unlike any other system on the market today, Draught Guard's propagating signal is 100% measurable and verifiable.
One Draught Guard unit can treat up to 12 lines, regardless of length.
No, the BLM systems used a completely different technology. They operated using ultrasound as a mechanism of treatment. We are not aware of any testing that proves BLM's sound waves are measurable throughout the trunk line, nor are we aware of any ATP or other industry standard test that proves its efficacy in maintaining line cleanliness, or preventing the growth of biofilm or beerstone.
Absolutely not. Draught Guard's technology does not change the chemistry or biologics of the beer itself. Biofilm and beerstone, on the other hand, are what is responsible for causing off-flavors. Draught Guard's technology inhibits the growth of biofilm and beerstone, assuring both the brewer and dispensing establishment that the beer is being served the way it is intended to be.
Draught Guard is installed through a simple, non-invasive process. Mounted inside, outside or near the keg cooler, the units can be configured specifically for your draught system and setup. Your local Draught Guard representative will ensure the best installation for your system, testing for full signal strength and propagation.
After your local Draught Guard representative installs the equipment, they will test and ensure signal strength and propagation. Unlike other systems, the Draught Guard signal can be tested, measured and verified using an oscilloscope, and ongoing signal monitoring will be displayed on the system's LCD screen.
