Proton

Proton Pro-Dri W is a rinse aid additive formulated for use in commercial glasswashing machines. It works by reducing the surface tension of water during the final rinse cycle, which encourages water to sheet off glassware cleanly rather than forming droplets that leave spots or streaks. The result is a clear, streak-free finish without any residual aftertaste — an important consideration in bar and hospitality environments where glass presentation directly affects the customer experience.

In busy service environments, rinse aid quality has a noticeable effect on throughput. Glasses that dry quickly and cleanly can be returned to service faster, which matters during peak periods when glass stock is under pressure. Pro-Dri W is suitable for use across all water conditions, including hard water areas where mineral deposits are a common cause of clouding and scale build-up on glassware.

For operators running draught beer lines, there is an additional practical benefit: Pro-Dri W is formulated to help maintain head stability and lacing on beers and lagers, which means correctly washed and rinsed glasses contribute to a better-presented pour. This is particularly relevant for pubs, bars, and venues where beer presentation is part of the offer.

• Suitable for all water hardness conditions, including hard water areas
• Promotes rapid drying to speed up glass turnaround during service
• Leaves no aftertaste — important for carbonated and draught drinks
• Supports head retention and lacing on beers and lagers
• Works alongside compatible glasswash detergents for best results

This product is supplied as two 5-litre containers and is intended for use with a dosing system fitted to a commercial glasswasher. For best results, Proton recommend pairing Pro-Dri W with their Prototype W Glasswash Detergent to ensure the wash and rinse chemistry work together effectively.

Proton Guardian Beer Line Protector is a specialist powder formulated to keep draught beer lines clean and protected during periods of low or infrequent use. Unlike standard line-cleaning products that are flushed through and discarded, Guardian is designed to be left in the lines after cleaning, where it continues to work — inhibiting bacterial growth, preventing the build-up of taints, and keeping the line environment stable until the next service.

In practice, this makes it well suited to sites where draught lines may sit idle for days or longer between pours. Without protection, stagnant lines can harbour bacteria and develop off-flavours that spoil the next draw and result in wasted product. Guardian addresses this directly, reducing the likelihood of beer needing to be discarded at the start of service.

The product works with all types of dispense systems, so operators do not need to adapt their existing cleaning process — it is added to the cleaning vessel as part of the routine line clean and left in place.

• Reduces spoilage risk from bacterial contamination in idle lines
• Helps protect beer quality and reduce wasted product at the tap
• Compatible with all standard draught dispense systems
• Straightforward to incorporate into existing line-cleaning routines
• Useful for event venues, seasonal bars, and sites with irregular draught service

The Proton Nozzle Sparkler Cleaning Kit is a purpose-made cleaning solution for beer font nozzles, sparklers, creamers, and fixed spouts — components that are often overlooked during routine bar cleaning. Soaking sparklers in soda water overnight, which remains common practice in many venues, provides no meaningful sanitising effect and allows residue and bacteria to build up over time.

This kit addresses that gap with a straightforward, chemical-led approach. The low-chlorine sanitising tablets are designed to break down organic deposits and sanitise contact surfaces effectively without the harsh chemical load of higher-chlorine alternatives. The included cleaning brush handles ingrained deposits and is shaped to reach fixed spouts that are otherwise difficult to clean manually. The tub and lid allow sparklers and nozzles to be soaked properly and contained during the process.

Practical benefits for bar and cellar operators include:

• Reduces bacterial build-up on components in direct contact with dispensed product
• Low-chlorine formulation is safer to handle and less likely to taint flavour if residue is not fully rinsed
• Self-contained kit keeps cleaning materials organised and to hand behind the bar
• Brush reaches fixed and awkward nozzle types that soaking alone cannot clean
• 75-tablet supply provides an extended working stock before reordering

There are no installation requirements. The kit is suitable for any licensed premises operating a draught beer or cask ale dispense system, from small pubs through to high-volume bar operations. Venues with a larger number of fonts or more frequent cleaning schedules may find it worth keeping a second kit in reserve.

If you are unsure whether this kit is appropriate for your dispense setup, or you would like advice on a broader bar hygiene routine, the team is happy to help.

Proton Complete Glasswash Detergent is a purpose-formulated chemical for use in commercial glasswashing machines. It is designed to work alongside a compatible rinse aid, removing protein residues — lipstick, beer film, and general drink residue — while leaving glasses clear and dry at the end of each cycle. The formula is also gentle enough to protect etched glass, preserving nucleation points and branded designs that are common in bar and hospitality settings.

In a busy bar or restaurant environment, consistent glassware presentation matters throughout service. This detergent performs reliably across standard commercial glasswasher cycles, and when used correctly, glasses should come through clean and ready to use without additional polishing. On first use, particularly where glasses have accumulated heavy residue over time, it may take two to five cycles to achieve a fully clean result — this is normal and not a sign of poor performance.

A few practical points worth noting before use:

• Designed for use with a compatible rinse aid to achieve clean, dry results
• Protects etched glassware, nucleation points, and branded glass designs
• A brief chlorine smell from the machine is normal on initial use and will pass
• In hard water areas, a water softener is required — using this product in very hard water without one will produce poor results
• Supplied as two 5-litre containers, suitable for ongoing use in a bar or hospitality setting

This detergent is well suited to pubs, bars, restaurants, and hotels running a dedicated glasswasher. It is not intended for dishwasher use or domestic applications. If you are unsure whether your water hardness or existing glasswasher setup is compatible, we are happy to advise before you order.

Proton Ultra Violet is a powdered beer line cleaner formulated to remove yeast deposits and calcium scale from draught beer lines. It comes in pre-measured single-dose sachets, each designed for use with a standard 50-litre cleaning vessel, and is suitable for fortnightly cleaning cycles as commonly recommended across licensed premises.

In a busy bar or pub environment, line cleanliness directly affects beer quality and wastage. Yeast and mineral build-up accumulates quickly in active lines, and inconsistent cleaning — whether through incorrect dosing or irregular intervals — leads to off-flavours, poor head retention, and increased product loss. Using a pre-measured powder removes one variable from the process, helping staff clean lines correctly regardless of experience level.

• Pre-measured sachets eliminate the risk of under- or over-dosing
• Targets yeast and calcium build-up commonly found in active draught lines
• Compatible with standard 50-litre cleaning equipment
• Suitable for fortnightly cleaning schedules
• Supplied as a pack of six sachets for ongoing stock management

The pack-of-six format suits most licensed premises as a straightforward way to keep cleaning stock on hand without over-ordering. It is a practical, no-frills option for operators who want a reliable powder cleaner rather than a liquid alternative.

If you are unsure whether this product suits your specific lines, dispense system, or cleaning regime, the team are happy to point you in the right direction.

Prosan Ultra is a concentrated, caustic-based beer line cleaner from Proton, supplied in a twin 5-litre pack. It is formulated as a purple-coloured solution, which helps operators visually confirm the product is present in the line during the cleaning process. The formula is designed to work across all dispense systems and is effective in all water conditions, including areas with very hard water, where standard cleaners can struggle to perform consistently.

The cleaning chemistry combines a high caustic action with a low chlorine ratio, which makes it well suited to chilled dispense systems where high chlorine content can cause long-term damage to components. At a 2% dosage rate, the concentrate delivers effective cleaning without requiring excessive product volumes per clean. The water-softening properties within the formula help prevent scale and residue build-up in hard water regions, which is a common source of inconsistent line hygiene in venues outside soft-water areas.

Practically, Prosan Ultra supports both weekly and fortnightly cleaning schedules, giving operators flexibility depending on their venue's throughput and line management policy. For busier sites running high volumes, weekly cleaning is straightforward. For lower-volume operations, the fortnightly interval can reduce product consumption without compromising hygiene standards.

This product is commonly used in pubs, bars, hotels, and sports venues with draught dispense systems. It is suitable wherever consistent line hygiene is a requirement and water hardness is a variable that needs accounting for.
