What SmartDispense Users are Saying
SmartDispense - Potential Cost Savings
Raising a Smart Family
With the right technology in place,
HEINEKEN UK has now developed
a number of revolutionary draught
systems. "We call the whole range
SmartDispense. The first smart
operators using them could see
how the many benefits helped drive
money back into their business.
The first UK systems were the
SmartDispense Midi, UnderBar and
Max. We extended the range to
include HEINEKEN's award-winning
"it has made a massive difference to my business,
if I'm honest. It has cut down on waste no end and the
consistency of the beer has improved considerably. It
produces the most consistent and best beer I've ever come
across in my drinking career!"
can deliver big benefits. "At 12°C,
cellars create an environment in
which yeast and bacteria can grow,
meaning weekly line cleaning. What's
more, cooling whole cellars can be
extremely wasteful. Research showed
that typical cooled cellars and cooler/
python systems can result in 90% of
the energy used not reaching the
beer itself."
SmartDispense also offers peace of
mind for bar owners by removing
the need for weekly line cleaning.
"Traditional dispense systems need
to be cleaned thoroughly every seven

days or the beer quality suffers. We
conducted extensive lab tests on
SmartDispense, which showed that
even four weeks after cleaning the
quality met our high standards.
"We decided to make this time-
consuming cleaning process even
simpler for SmartDispense operators.
Now, as part of the overall package,
HEINEKEN experts conduct the
regular and thorough system clean

"I absolutely love it. There's no waste compared to
what I used to have, which is good from a money-saving
point of view and for the environment. I save the two pints
per line I lost every time I cleaned the lines, around £160 a
month, and use less chemicals. I'm also saving £200 a month
on my energy bills and the two and a half hours a week of my
time spent line cleaning."
