A new filling technology for non-refillable kegs

Over the past few years, a growing variety of new large-size beverage containers, such as party kegs, home draft systems, and PET kegs has infiltrated the market. KHS has acted as consultant in the development of nearly all of these new types of container by designing and supplying the new filling systems accordingly. True to this philosophy, KHS AG is now pleased to announce its collaboration with Lightweight Containers B.V. (NL) in the development and marketing of plant and filling technology for the disposable KeyKeg®.

The container in this case is a non-refillable keg developed according to the bag-in-ball concept that has been specially designed for filling with beer, (sparkling) wine, and cider.

With the KeyKeg combo-treatment head, it is possible to fill both conventional stainless-steel kegs as well KeyKegs® at high capacities on KHS systems. The new combination head can also be retrofitted into existing lines.
