Sea Hawk Systems Introduces Automatic Bar Gun Cleaning System

Sea Hawk Systems introduces the Sea Gun, a patent-pending, automatic, and programmable bar gun cleaning system. The Sea Gun is designed to automatically purge all residues and sugars while combatting penetration of insects, such as fruit flies, into bar guns. The programmable system injects pressurized, potable water, and cleans up to four guns at once.

The new Sea Gun is designed to clean all bar gun models ranging from three to 12 separate buttons. It is powered by a high safety, 12v DC current and is designed with U.S.-made antimicrobial polymer and easy-to-clean stainless steel components, including:

• Anti-microbial Santoprene Collars which prevent insect infestations.
• Patent pending anti-microbial holsters to easily fit on bar tops which prevent water retention, mold and the buildup of biofilm.
• Injection of potable water directly into the dispensing nozzle.
• Water and drain lines crafted from anti-microbial materials for consistent cleaning.

“Manual bar gun cleaning procedures have proven inconsistent in the field. Not only is manual cleaning inconsistent, it is full of errors from employees cleaning with dirty towels or their bare hands. This can lead to regulatory issues and a buildup of food residues that promote growth of mold and hazardous microbes,” said Richard Ritota, former food safety director for the state of New Jersey and now food safety director for Sea Hawk Systems. “Unlike manual cleaning, which doesn’t get inside the guns and water lines, the pressurized water provided by the new Sea Gun helps prevent impossible to reach sticky accumulations and debris in both the guns and hoses. Internal cleaning from the Sea Gun helps prevent a foothold and food source for pathogens, microorganisms, insects and a buildup of biofilm that can lead to potential infection to those with weaker immune systems.”

To eliminate the daily multi-step cleaning process, the Sea Gun provides daily “ready for inspection” soda guns with an automatic, programmable cleaning system, the company said. It injects potable water into the bar gun to purge residues and sugars and eliminate beverage “off-taste,” and is designed to help keep accurate calibration for optimal soda dispensing.

“We noticed the taste of soda from our bar guns had steadily decreased in quality and were looking for more efficient ways to not only clean bar guns, but to get a better tasting soda,” said Rick Schmid, restaurant owner in New Jersey. “We turned to Sea Hawk Systems to help our restaurants by installing the Sea Gun. It has been a great cleaning tool for us, allowing employees additional time in other areas of the restaurant. It’s also helped us battle fruit flies and improved the flavor of the soda, making it taste like it’s supposed to.”

The Sea Gun is also environmentally friendly, using less than a gallon of water per day to clean four guns. Most multi-step, labor-intensive, manual gun cleaning procedures typically use a minimum of 1-2 gallons of water for each gun, the company said.

“Throughout the past ten years, Sea Hawk Systems worked extensively with leading hospitality product design and test organizations such as Dema Engineering and Quantex Analytics to perfect the new Sea Gun,” said Jon Aneson, Sea Hawk Systems CEO. “The significant contributions of both groups have allowed Sea Hawk Systems to introduce a superior cleaning solution to hospitality operators that improves the safety and quality of the beverages that they serve.”
