Overview
The next step in flavor protection: GEN-X® Tubing
Micro Matic, the industry leader introduces the next generation of beverage tubing. GEN-X® is engineered to have an exceptional gas barrier layer along with outstanding hygienic quality. Independent testing and in-field performance have found GEN-X® superior. Nylon was selected as the inner layer due to its ultra-smooth surface. A barrier layer is co-extruded within the tube wall to stop gas permeation and preserve the beverage aroma and flavor. GEN-X® is ideal for protection against cross migration of flavors.
GEN-X® ensures no loss of CO2 from the beer or wine and practically eliminates any O2 ingress into the beverage tube that could promote bacteria growth and off-taste.
