Netherlands & Switzerland: Heineken launches beer keg with PP tap system
Quadrant CMS (Creative Moulding & Systems) has produced a tap system for Heineken’s new 5-litre, single use Draught Keg. The Swiss injection moulder says that this is the company’s first venture into the beverage market.Made from recyclable steel, the Heineken keg has patented tapping technology that Quadrant says will keep the beer fresh in the refrigerator 30 days after the initial tapping.
At its cleanroom facilities in Tielt, Belgium, Quadrant injection moulds five parts and extrudes a small tube for the tap system. “All the components of the tap system are required to be robust and leak-free, withstanding the pressurised beer as well as fluctuations in temperature as the keg is moved in and out of refrigeration units,” the company said.
