Petainer Kegs are lightweight beverage containers manufactured in recyclable PET (PolyEthylene Terephthalate) and designed for one-way use.
They are currently available in sizes of 15, 20, 30 and 40 litres to suit a wide range of applications. The 20 and 30 litre kegs are also available in a version that is specifically designed for use in existing filling lines for metal kegs.
All the kegs offer economic and environmental benefits when compared with metal kegs and other plastic variants. The benefits increase with the size of the keg – the larger the keg, the larger the savings.
The variety of sizes and the associated range of fittings mean that there is a suitable keg for almost every beverage application in bars, pubs, clubs and restaurants worldwide. In addition to beer, Petainer Kegs are suitable for a range of beverages including cider, wine, water, concentrates and low pressure carbonated soft drinks.
If required, Petainer Kegs can be supplied in an outer cardboard box to further improve the ease of handling and to provide opportunities for product branding.
All the kegs are available with one-way, low cost fittings which allow them to be connected to existing tapping systems for draught beer.
Petainer Kegs offer substantial marketing and cost benefits when compared with other types of keg and also give real benefits to end users.
Unlike other plastic and metal kegs, PET Petainer Kegs can be supplied either complete and ready for filling or as ‘preforms’ that can be blown near the point of use. This second option provides further environmental and economic benefits.
The version adapted for existing filling lines offers brewers the opportunity to gain all the advantages of the Petainer Keg without needing to invest in new filling systems. These kegs are supplied in rigid polypropylene casings which facilitate use on existing filling lines. The casings also make the kegs easy to handle in transport and by users in bars, clubs and restaurants – replacing the cardboard cartons of standard Petainer Kegs.
Like the Petainer Kegs themselves, the casings are designed for one-way use and are fully recyclable. They can be printed to users’ specifications to create new opportunities for branding.
We have formed a partnership with KHS – an international manufacturer of filling and packaging systems – to develop and market Petainer Kegs.
