I have reviewed the comments about the BLM2000 and by joining this forum I welcome further comments, but feel its appropriate to advise forum members more about the BLM2000, from the person and the company who invented the technology. Firstly, BIOQTECH Corporation is a Great Britain registered company and manufactures and distributes the BLM2000 to its wholly owned branch companies in Japan and North America. (MILY CORPORATION In Kobe, Japan and BIOQTECH (USA) LLC in Colorado, USA.) Please visit
www.bioqtech.com for all contact numbers.
As for unsubstantiated comments about Coors Brewing Company's non approval of the technology, if any forum members need validated evidence of Coors approval of the technology, please refer to Coors Draft Dispense manual and the BLM2000 technology is explained within same. Furthermore, this approval has been in place for more than 6 years and the product was firstly installed on all Coors product lines in Denver in 2000. An enormous amount of technical data and results have been compiled by both Coors and our company and forum members are more than welcome to contact either myself directly or the Draft Manager at Coors Brewery, Mr Mike Smith. Suffice to say, life with the BLM2000 continues and a bi-weekly cleaning cycle ended 6-years ago and will not return.
Within North America, 7 years ago we had a small band of users and a lot of 'knockers' of the technology, but today the users are numerous and the 'knockers' only small. We will of course be happy to supply forum members with a list of what we term as 'ambassadors' of our technology, who continue to be dedicated users. This list continues to grow and even as of last week, another beer line maintenance company from Seattle came on board; and with a territory of nearly 3,000 beer lines they will provide their accounts with a greater level of service and provide each account with reduced beer wastage.
Couple this success with Brewery approvals in Japan, Poland, Romania, Russia and the United Kingdom, it must be said that Coors Brewing Company many years ago were pioneers and only led the way now taken by other breweries world-wide.
In my closing comments, its easy to 'knock' something new, but when the technology stands the test of time and is now recognized by 3 of the world's top 10 breweries, I think the 'knockers' should look further afield and become more knowlegable in exactly what makes the BLM2000 successful and ask these breweries and users more questions in the process.
Sincerely,
BIOQTECH CORPORATION
