Behind every perfectly carbonated pint or soft drink is a reliable source of CO2. Restaurants, breweries, and bars rely on consistent gas delivery to keep service running smoothly. At Phoenix Welding Supply, we help Arizona businesses design and install bulk CO2 systems that deliver dependability, efficiency, and peace of mind.
A bulk CO2 system stores carbon dioxide in a centralized vacuum insulated tank that feeds directly to beverage lines, draft systems, and soda machines. Instead of swapping cylinders, gas is delivered in bulk and stored safely on-site. This setup reduces downtime, lowers refill frequency, and eliminates the need to move heavy cylinders around food-service areas.
Choosing the correct tank size depends on your beverage volume and refill frequency.
| Business Type | Typical Monthly Use | Recommended System Size |
|---|---|---|
| Small Bar or Restaurant | 200–400 lbs | 400-lb tank |
| Medium Restaurant or Brewery | 800–1,200 lbs | 1,000-lb tank |
| High-Volume Brewery or Venue | 3,000–6,000 lbs | 3,000- to 6,000-lb system |
| Stadiums or Production Facilities | 10,000+ lbs | 10- to 14-ton system |
Phoenix Welding Supply offers custom sizing assistance and on-site assessments to ensure your system matches your flow rate, temperature, and safety requirements.
CO2 is safe when used correctly, but it is a confined-space hazard if not properly vented. Phoenix Welding Supply installs systems that meet local and city safety codes, including:
Our trained technicians design each installation to meet Arizona safety standards and guidelines.
The cost of a bulk CO2 system depends on tank capacity, installation complexity, and refill frequency. Most restaurants see a return on investment within 12 to 18 months compared to cylinder delivery.
We also provide scheduled CO2 delivery routes throughout Phoenix, Mesa, Tucson, Flagstaff, and Sierra Vista. Our team monitors your tank levels and automatically refills them before you run low, keeping your beverage service uninterrupted.
When you choose Phoenix Welding Supply, you gain more than a CO2 supplier. You gain a partner with over 70 years of gas expertise, local service teams, and acetylene and CO2 fill plant network in Arizona.
