Worthington Industries, Inc. is expanding its cryogenic technology portfolio with the introduction of a proprietary-designed beverage carbonation cylinder for industrial gas markets.

The company says it designed the 500-pound beverage carbonation cylinder for use in the food and beverage markets, including restaurants, bars, movie theaters, stadiums and other locations where cryogenic beverage carbonation cylinders are a preferred storage option for high-volume carbon dioxide users.

“Our beverage carbonation cylinder is designed to be an industry workhorse, with optimum reliability, performance, safety and ease of use,” says Geoff Gilmore, president of Worthington’s pressure cylinders business. “We use proprietary technology that takes the guesswork out of diagnosing a vacuum issue and provides a hassle-free user interface, new benefits to the industrial gas market.”

Worthington’s beverage carbonation cylinders feature the company’s unique user interface with easy-access valves and the industry’s first liquid cylinder vacuum sensor and digital reader. The cylinders are certified to ASME and available now for distribution in the US and Mexico from Worthington’s facility in Westerville OH.
