The pythong explained...
The Python
A delivery system for remote draught dispense of beverages.
It consists of a bundle of plastic tubes, product lines and cooling lines encased within foam insulation. Product lines and coolant lines are strategically positioned within the Python to take account of required dispense temperatures.
Its function
The role of the Python is to maintain the temperature of the beverage leaving the cooler to the point of dispense. Today, Python plays a vital function in delivering high quality drinks at consistent low temperatures.

TAPED PYTHON
Valpar Micro Matic manufacture a range of taped pythons to best suit individual customer requirements.
Available in different line configurations, tube types/sizes and insulation thicknesses.

EASYFIT
Valpar Micro Matic Easyfit python is similar to standard taped python except that the PVC outer tape is replaced with an especially designed outer covering of a reinforcing yarn braid and tough extruded polymeric outer coating.
This creates a smooth, low friction surface making the python much easier to install,
especially in ducts and difficult to reach locations.

FOIL WRAPPED
Valpar Micro Matic can add an aluminium foil lining between the tubing bundle and the insulation of any python giving improved temperature consistency across all the product lines with a slight reduction in absorbed heat and dispense temperatures.

CO-AXIAL
Valpar Micro Matic has the ability to manufacture pythons with co-axial lines.
A co-axial line is a product line which has been inserted into a larger cooling line, providing a full contact surface area between the coolant and the product line, giving an exceptionally cold dispense temperature.

A back python is used to describe any python configuration which attaches to the source of the product (keg) and typically connects the keg to the cooler – normally a 1+2 python.
Back pythons differ from regular pythons in that they will normally contain preformed tubing, keg connectors and potentially other components, dependent on the application.

TRACECOOLER
A trace cooler is defined as a section of python that maintains product cooling between the main python and the point of dispense. It normally contains two cooling lines and one or more product line.
Lines may be performed to allow the trace cooler to fit into a font or bar counter box. It may also contain fittings to cool the tap and produce condensation.
