Product catalog summary
Introduction to Polarclean Technology
Polarclean® is an innovative push-fit drinks dispense system developed by John Guest, utilizing 'tube-in-tube' technology to enhance beer and beverage conditioning. This system improves heat transfer efficiency, allowing for extra cold beer without the need for a cold-room or secondary cooling device. It maintains consistent cold temperatures throughout the draught system, reducing product stagnation and potentially decreasing beer-line cleaning frequency.
Benefits of Tube-in-Tube Technology
The tube-in-tube arrangement offers several advantages over standard installations, including:
  • Consistent extra cold beer temperatures at every pour.
  • No need for a cellar or secondary cooling, reducing installation costs.
  • Decreased microbiological growth and cleaning frequency, increasing revenue per keg.
  • Improved system efficiency and reduced energy consumption, lowering carbon emissions.
  • Flexibility in installation, allowing keg, cooler, and font to be located separately.
How It Works
The system uses a primary product tube enveloped by a secondary tube carrying refrigerated coolant, ensuring low temperatures are maintained. This setup allows for faster dispense and prevents unauthorized modifications to the beer-lines.
Installation and Disconnection Procedures
To make a tube-in-tube connection, push the beer and coolant tubes to the tube stop, ensuring secure connections. For disconnection, depressurize lines and use the Polarclean Collet Release Tool to remove tubes.
Polarclean Range Components
The range includes various connectors such as the Equal Elbow Connector, Reducing Elbow Connector, Tee Connector, Keg Connector, and more, each designed for specific installation needs.
Global Presence
John Guest operates globally with offices in the UK, Germany, USA, France, Australia, Italy, Spain, Korea, New Zealand, Poland, and the Czech Republic, providing support and distribution for Polarclean technology.

The Push-fit People-2

Polarclean® is a simple yet innovative push-fit drinks dispense range, conceptualized and developed by John Guest. The range enhances the conditioning of beer & beverages in the supply tube using ‘tube-in-tube’ technology. The improved heat transfer efficiency of tube-in-tube compared to traditional ‘contact’ cooling, allows pubs, bars and restaurants to serve extra cold beer & beverage at every pour, without a cold-room or secondary cooling device. Tube-in-tube can be deployed from keg to tap and helps overcome product stagnation by keeping every part of the draught system consistently cold,...

The Push-fit People-4

Polarclean technology allows one push-fit connection inside another, enabling a tube-in-tube arrangement. The internal primary product tube is fully enveloped by a secondary external tube carrying a constantly recirculating refrigerated coolant (typically water or water/glycol blend), over the entire length of the system. The refrigerated coolant and more efficient heat transfer of tube-intube maintains the critically low temperatures necessary to keep beer and beverage fresh. Polarclean also offers much more flexibility for draught installations because the keg, cooler and font can all be located...
