NUKATAP - MINI TAP
NUKATAP
Mini Tap
A GREAT DISPENSING SOLUTION FOR
LOW VOLUME KEG SYSTEMS.
A sleek and
affordable tap head option for pouring your own drinks at home.
- This tap features a design optimised for
easy cleaning in homebrew scenarios and less first pour foaming associated
with longer times between pours than many other taps.
- These taps can plug directly into 8mm duo
tight or John guest style speed fittings when using the duotight adaptor.
- Will screw directly into a 10 litre
wooden barrel.
- Add to a 1.5 inch or 2.0 inch tri clamp
to use as a sample tap.
Mini Design - Ideal
Flow Rate for Small Systems
Most conventional beer
taps are designed with 10mm diameter nozzle/spout so you can pour pint in just
over 10sec. This type of flow rate is
great for high turnover bars and commercial venues but this high flow rate requirement
is not not necessary or desirable for all applications. For compact portable systems, or for home
brew draft systems a slower flow rate is easier to control the flow and further
reduces foaming issues due to the low liquid volume stored in the tap body.
This Nukatap mini is also more idea for pouring smaller doses. For examples cocktails where 150-250ml of liquid is dispensed is difficult to control with a high flow rate tap. For portable systems this tap and FC ball lock disconnect assembly is small enough to literally put in your pocket making it ideal for mini keg setups that you want to be portable or that you want to easily fit inside a domestic fridge where space is tight.
FEATURES:
First Pour Foam Reduction
The reduction in thermal mass significantly reduces the first pour
foam effect. The tap is often the warmest part of the draft
system as it protrudes from the font/tower/fridge. As a result, it acts
like a heat sink and only works well once enough cold beer flows through
it to cool the tap body down. This reduction of thermal mass
significantly improves the foam that is poured while the tap is cooling
down.
Laminar Flow
The NUKASHUTTLE design is the world’s first seamless shuttle. After many
months of modeling and testing this new "NUKE" shaped shuttle design
has the most fluid dynamic shuttle shape ever manufactured for a forward
sealing tap. The streamline "nuke/missile" shape is how this
new innovation earned its name "NUKATAP". This leap forward in
laminar flow means even highly carbonated beers pour like a dream with minimal
turbulence and giving you the perfect pour every time.
Most Sanitary Design
The NUKASHUTTLE is the world’s first seamless single-piece design.
Traditional taps have a seal that is seated on a stainless-steel body creating
small fissures that harbor solids, are potential sites for infection, and are
not as ideal for clean in place (CIP). The NUKASHUTTLE is an advanced TPV
rubber matrix that been seamlessly formed over a durable PP skeleton. This
single-piece design takes away the traditional fissures found in older
manufacturing methods.
Long Life Seals
Unlike many other taps that use rubbers that can be degraded with caustic and
acid compounds, the NUKATAP has been made to suit a wide range of
conditions. It's becoming more common to see sour beers/kombucha and other
acetic and lactic acid beverages dispensed using draft systems. These
acids, in particular, could cause an attack on the sealing compounds resulting
in downtime, loss of product and reduced maintenance intervals.
The NUKATAP solves this problem and is the most chemically resistant tap we
have ever manufactured. Unlike some older tap styles that have
"metal on metal" rubbing components that can wear over time and have
a "raspy feel" the NUKATAP has been manufactured with a smooth
gliding action that guarantees the longevity of the tap components. The
TPV rubber matrix shuttle is also one of the most durable sealing mechanisms
that can tolerate large amounts of leverage force from long tap handles that
would otherwise traditionally degrade the seals in other tap designs.
Other forward sealing designs exist but nothing with the same level of
reliability. It’s easy to find other “perl” forward sealing design taps however
these taps use a floating o-ring design which by all means is equally as
sanitary however the floating o-ring requires the oring to move within the tap
body to seal correctly. This movement is typically a problem as the tap ages
and/or is not serviced regularly. The NUKATAP bypasses this seal as the entire
NUKASHUTTLE is a single sealing piece.
Tap Handle Angle - 2.5degree Reverse Angle
The new NUKATAPS have been manufactured with a 2.5degree reverse angle.
This allows for a wider range of taps handles to be used, in particular, long
and/or heavy handles to work perfectly irrespective of the installation
conditions.
Forward Sealing Design
Just like the Intertap and its predecessors, the NUKATAP shuts off the
flow at the front of the tap which in turn keeps wild yeast and bacteria out of
the interior of the tap body. Put end to substandard beer and only use the
all-new NUKATAP
