Do Plastic Kegs America kegs contain any Bisphenol A (BPA),
PET, PVC, or any material that could that could in any way affect
the taste or safety of beer?
NO! Our kegs are made using a patented construction using
Poly-tech 104 material which is FDA compliant; that will not
taint or affect whatever liquid inside in any way different to
a metal keg.
How many kegs can you fit on a pallet?
You can fit up to 120 1/12 barrel kegs onto a pallet, 60 x 1/6
Barrel kegs on a pallet, and 27 1/2 barrel kegs on
a pallet.
Will your kegs work on an automated filling line?
Yes they can, the geometry of the neck of our kegs are very
similar to that of a metal equivalent, and use an industry
standard stainless steel extractor meaning there is no
difference in operation to a metal keg.
Can your plastic Kegs be cleaned with hot caustics, peracetic
acid, standard keg cleaning compounds etc?
Yes they can be cleaned using the same CIP processes as an
equivalent metal keg
What temperature and pressure can your kegs withstand in
cleaning?
275 degrees Fahrenheit @ 1.5 bar, the same as you would
normally operate on with a metal keg.
Can the new half barrel fit in kegarators?
Yes the new 1/2 barrel is 2 1/2 inches
shorter than a metal keg and will fit in a standard keg
refrigerator.
How easy is is it to replace the chimes should I ever damage
them?
Really easy; 4 rivets per chime on the 1/6 and 1/12 barrel and
6 rivets on the 1/2 barrel; say goodbye to
expensive servicing costs!
Do your kegs contain any recycled material?
The liquid shell does not; the chimes (which are not in contact
with the liquid in any way) do contain recycled plastic.
Are your kegs recyclable?
Yes
How long do Plastic Kegs America Kegs last?
Accelerated tests on our kegs undertaken by a European brewery
showed the kegs would had no sign of damage or need for
replacing after 6 years, so at least that long! Our products
have been in the market place in Europe for 5 years, so there
are good grounds for believing they will out last a metal keg
as they won't get stolen
