KHS expands Innokeg till product family with non-refillable keg filling technology

KHS AG has announced 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.

The advantages of one-way systems also in the field of kegs are obvious.

Because there is no effort or cost involved in returning, storing, or washing kegs of this kind, non-refillable kegs are of great interest to those clients with high export rates or high keg losses and to those who are either new to keg filling or who are changing their keg filling concept.

With the KeyKeg combo-treatment head recently developed by KHS, 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.
