Compact keg line for small and medium-sized companies

With its Innokeg Till CombiKeg KHS has launched a compact keg washing and racking machine to the market that houses not only the systems for washing the kegs inside and out and filling them, but also the media tanks, controls, and conveyors. Shipped fully assembled in a standard-size container, the compact keg line can be commissioned in the shortest time.

The keg filling line works on the principle of rotary processing and comprises capacities of between 60 and 100 kegs per hour.

The target group is primarily small to medium-sized businesses in the brewing, soft drinks, mineral water, fruit juice and wine sectors. The system processes kegs of all sizes, from 10 liters right up to 58 liters, as well as disposable kegs such as Petainer kegs.

The standard R 3/1 model has three washing heads, one racking head, and a volumetric filling system with return gas control. Depending on the product and output required, an R 5/1 version is also available equipped with five washing heads and one racking head. In place of the classic return gas control system, KHS-patented Direct Flow Control (DFC) filling technology is also available as an option.

The exterior keg washer can be optionally integrated into the housing of the Innokeg Till CombiKeg. Without an exterior keg washer, this space in the system remains vacant. The washing process benefits from the extended caustic soaking of the keg interior.
