When To Choose 2kg Cylinders

The Direct Answer

Choose 2kg when daily burn per kitchen exceeds 1.5kg, when you have a wider safe-handling storage footprint, and when changeover labour is starting to bite.

The Slightly Longer Explanation

2kg is the high-throughput tier — built for kitchens that burn through small cylinders before lunch service ends and for distributors carrying high-volume customers.

Changeover cadence at 2kg drops to every one to three days at typical high-burn volumes, which transforms the daily kitchen workflow.

2kg requires more storage commitment per cylinder — a wider safe-handling footprint, proper ventilated storage — and that’s the constraint that knocks some buyers out of the format.

Buyer Checklist

Before you act on the answer above, run through this:

  • Confirm daily burn is consistently over 1.5kg per kitchen per day
  • Audit storage footprint — 2kg needs proper ventilated dry storage
  • Compare per-gram savings against changeover labour cost
  • Submit the qualification wizard with 2kg and target pallet quantity
