KeyKeg® – the revolutionary disposable keg


The globe-shaped PET keg is the alternative to traditional kegs. It guarantees contents of excellent quality. It is very light in weight and efficient with regard to logistics. The container is eminently suited for beverage export as it can be recycled easily, thus making cleaning and return transport unnecessary.

The packaging

The one-way kegs with a volume of 20 and 30 litres respectively are suitable for liquids of all kinds but particularly for carbonated drinks. The globe-shaped PET keg encloses a flexible interior bag which takes the liquid. The exterior packaging of cardboard is for additional protection during transport and for advertising product information.

Handling

The filling plant consists merely of a pallet station and a filling station which is available fully or semi-automatic. Cleaning plants for washing the containers are not necessary.
For extracting the liquids, traditional dispensing equipment can be used, these will only need an adapter for the new type of valve. The contents of the keg are emptied by introducing pressure  into the area between the globe and the bag. This means the beverage does not come into contact with CO2 or the air which makes for longer storage and also makes it possible to empty the keg completely.

A sustainable solution

The whole package weighs a mere kilogram which is only a tenth of the weight of a traditional steel keg. Due to its light weight, only a minimum of raw material is necessary for the production of the keg. Another advantage is that using the Keykeg leads to considerable savings in energy and thus to a reduction of CO2 emissions.
