DUDC Bag-in-Box Fitment from Colder Provides Economical, Non-Spill Connection for Food and Beverage Products



St. Paul, MN - September 26, 2005 - Food and beverage companies can cost-effectively enhance the safety and reliability of liquid dispensing systems with the Disposable Universal Dispensing Coupler (DUDC) bag-in-box fitment from Colder Products Company. Commonly used in condiment, sauce, beverage syrup, and dairy food products, the DUDC fitment offers a non-spill feature that virtually eliminates costly spills. A foil seal further protects product contents and provides evidence of possible tampering.

Additional operational and safety benefits can be realized with Colder's innovative IdentiQuik(TM) DUDC model, which incorporates an RFID tag in the closure. Before the final connection of the body and insert is made, the IdentiQuik DUDC automatically exchanges product data to help prevent misconnections. Manufacturers can use this feature to ensure brand integrity, improve quality control and automatically calibrate dispensing equipment for the fluid being dispensed.

"With the DUDC, we are offering a non-spill fitment that helps food and beverage companies achieve closed, sanitary systems," says Tom Braun, Business Unit Manager, Chemical Handling and Packaging Products, Colder Products Company. "Recent changes such as improved flow capacity further add to the non-spill functionality of the fitment."

As with all Colder non-spill couplings, the DUDC incorporates an easy-to-use thumb latch and an audible "click" that indicates when a secure connection is made. The DUDC coupling body is available with a variety of standard hose barb sizes including the 3/8" size for connection with common tubing. The 38mm fitment is designed to fit volume pack bags with standard 38mm fitment spouts. DUDC fitment materials include polypropylene, FDA Buna, EPDM, Silicone seals, and 316 stainless steel springs.

The DUDC has received National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) designation and its polypropylene materials are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved.
