Krones BEVkeg wins packaging prize
Krones has been awarded the German Packaging Prize in the beverage sales package category for its innovative BEVkeg.
The BEVkeg is an all-inclusive solution in the market for non-returnable PET beverage kegs. Depending on the output class involved, the BEVkeg can be supplied in two different variants: either as a preform, or as a container that is rolled up following the blow-moulding process and correspondingly compressed.
Thanks to the option for container compression, transportation to the filling company is optimised. Due to the low internal volume, the amount of CO2 flushing before the filling process is reduced.
The machinery and systems technology required for filling, labelling and palletising the BEVkegs is supplied by Krones, while the brewery or restaurateur sources the BEVmate tapping technology from Micro Matic, a company specialising in tapping systems.
The German Packaging Prize is an international competition open to all sectors and materials. The German Packaging Institute awards the annual prize in recognition of innovative and creative packaging ideas.
