We started our Gives Back campaign last year with Operation Homefront and were immediately encouraged by the outpouring of support from our customers and employees, said John Soler, Managing Director of Micro Matic.

Operation Homefront provides direct services to alleviate a military familys or individuals emergency financial burden, as well as providing counseling and/or recovery support.

The holiday season is a perfect time to reflect on the many sacrifices made by our troops and their families. We look forward to donating the proceeds of the Gives Back campaign to Operation Homefront, said Soler.

Supporting charities and local communities is integral to being a good corporate citizen something that Micro Matic strongly emphasizes across all operations worldwide.

Micro Matics Innovative Wine on Tap Dispensing System Selected for 2013 NAFEM Whats Hot! Whats Cool! Product Gallery

Brooksville, FL (PRWEB) January 29, 2013

Micro Matic, the leading manufacturer in beverage dispensing technology, is proud to announce that the Pro-Line Wine Dual-Temperature Dispensing system (MDD23W-E) has been selected for the Whats Hot! Whats Cool! product gallery at the NAFEM 2013 trade show.

The Pro-Line Wine dispensing system was developed in close partnership with winemakers to ensure optimum functionality and quality. The wine on tap units are designed specifically for keg wine to maximize the yield of a keg while also ensuring that consistent wine quality is delivered in every glass.

The Micro Matic dual temperature zone wine kegerator has been a real game changer in the premium wine by the glass category. It allows me to offer my guests a wider selection of premium wines on tap, without worrying about cork or oxidation problems, spoilage or waste, said Jeff Barba, Director of Food and Beverage at the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa, Scottsdale, Arizona.

Each year, the NAFEM trade show presents Whats Hot! Whats Cool! to highlight the years innovative products in the foodservice equipment and supplies industry. The selected products must feature forward-thinking innovations and show tangible improvements to foodservice operations.

Products must fulfill at least two of the four criteria to be selected for the product gallery: aesthetic impact, cost reduction, new foodservice application, and other additional benefits (environmental impact or technological advances).

The Micro Matic Pro-Line Wine system was selected to be a part of this years NAFEM Whats Hot! Whats Cool! due to its winning combination of all four categories!

Aesthetics: The Pro-Line Wine MDD23W unit can store and serve up to four (4) 20 liter wine kegs. This is equivalent to 104 bottles of wine stored in one compact 31 square unit. The unit features color-coded dual digital thermostats, an easy to clean black vinyl over steel exterior, and a number of dispensing font choices. Pro-Line Wine draws attention to Wine On Tap.

Cost Reduction: Utilizing inert gases and stainless steel kegs, Pro-Line Wine dispensing systems save labor and time by eliminating corkage while protecting the wine from oxidation. Wine on tap eliminates waste and lost profits due to spoilage while also expanding the restaurants wine by the glass options. Speed of service and easy pouring add to the bottom line.

New Foodservice Application: Pro-Line Wine dispensers are the first systems designed with two dedicated temperature zones: one for white wines (45

Micro Matic Draft Beer Equipment Featured in Record-Setting 360 Faucet Installation at New Chicago Restaurant

Brooksville, FL (PRWEB) March 25, 2013

Micro Matic draft beer dispensing equipment forms the heart of new epic beer hall Howells & Hood located in iconic Chicago Tribune Tower.

Officially opened to the public on St. Patrick's Day weekend, Howells & Hood is equipped with 114 different beers on tap pouring through 360 faucets spread across three bars, making it the venue with the most tap handles in the city of Chicago and likely the world.

Named after the Tribune Buildings architects, John Howells and Raymond Hood, the restaurants interior replicates the epic neo-Gothic design of the landmark building designed by its namesakes.

With a main dining room seating 250 guests and an additional banquet room holding 150 more, the 23,000 square foot venues design includes copper-topped bars and travertine-tiled walls with quotes inscribed from everyone from Al Capone to Abraham Lincoln. To maintain the buildings continuity, the stone tile found throughout the space was collected from the same quarry in Rome used 80 years ago during the towers construction.

Each of the 114 brews available to complement the restaurants globally-inspired menu pours from a gigantic glassed-in refrigerated cooler that can hold up to 670 kegs. This massive cooler is visible to patrons behind the bar, showing the faucets pouring beer from the kegs directly behind them. The effect is one part showmanship and one part an effort to relay the authentic experience of beer from keg that it truly is.

"It was a pleasure working with Micro Matic on our most ambitious draft project yet at Howells and Hood. 360 faucets pouring 114 different beers would be daunting for anyone, but Micro Matic was there with us every step of the way. A concept of this size and scale would not have been possible without Micro Matic's full support and expertise throughout the design and installation process," said Jason Akemann, principle owner of Howells and Hood.

Behind the scenes in the refrigerated cooler is one full mile of refrigerated Black Diamond trunk line, Micro Matics patented beer line insulation that delivers beer at a constant temperature to the 360 faucets.

The majority of the insulated trunk housing consists of 10 beer lines with 5/16 I.D. and four glycol cooling lines with 3/8 I.D. There are eight Pro-Line power packs in total refrigerating the glycol which maintains the beer temperature from the keg to the faucet.

Micro Matic produced 32 custom Kool-Rite dispense modules to cool the beer at the faucet. All the hardware touching the beer is stainless steel to deliver the best draft flavor and experience to the customer.

Also included in the Howells and Hood installation was wine certified equipment to dispense 36 wines on tap. Micro Matic has been instrumental in the rising trend of wine on tap, providing the highest quality equipment and expertise for this new, more cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method of keg wine dispensing.

The monumental installation carried out by Chicago local and Micro Matic Certified Installer Stuever & Sons, Inc. took just over one month with six installers on-hand working 12-14 hours per day, seven days per week. All work installing the system was performed so as to preserve the integrity of this historic building.

The Micro Matic Certified Installer Network provides expert installation and support services for businesses across the nation.
