ECO KEGs for overseas

Messeankündigung Craft Brewers Conference

SCHÄFER Container Systems at the Craft Brewers Conference

Neunkirchen, 28th March 2019. From April 8th to 11th, SCHÄFER Container Systems is once again taking part in the Craft Brewers Conference (CBC), which is being hosted this year in Denver, Colorado. This time, the focus is on the ECO KEG, which has really proved itself internationally, and not just because of its reduced weight. At stand 9039 in the Colorado Convention Center, visitors will also be able to catch more than just a passing glimpse of all the other KEG types in the varied SCHÄFER portfolio.

The reduction of material used has made the ECO KEG, with its volume range of five to 58 litres, up to 36 % lighter. Its coloured top and bottom rings are made of polypropylene (PP) and, with their shock absorber effect, prevent impact damage to the KEG, while at the same time offering significant new branding potential. ECO KEG not only gave birth to a new product family, but also created an impressive logistics benefit: the top and bottom rings enable much safer stacking and the weight reduction means about a 6 % increase in the volume of full KEGs that can be loaded into a standard 40-foot container.

“The over 800 exhibitors and 13,000 visitors make the Craft Brewers Conference the industry’s biggest event in the USA. This exhibition, with its subsequent conference and events, is the only one serving both the brewing as well as the packaging industry. With our large portfolio of ECO KEGs, SUDEX stainless steel KEGs, PLUS KEGs and SOFTDRINK KEGs, as well as our great range of accessories and KEG services, we have something for almost every visitor”, says Guido Klinkhammer, Business Unit Sales Director at SCHÄFER Container Systems.
