Karl Strauss recently expanded its brewery in response to increased demand for its product. To keep up with demand, Karl Strauss had CoMac install a keg line with a speed of 60 kph.

The line consists of: a four-head keg washer/filler; three cleaning solution tanks for caustic/acid cleaning, hot water and mixed water; inlet and outlet conveyors; a sliding chute; and filters and reducers.

Karl Strauss said the expansion has increased production capacity by 31%, as a result of the new equipment, and an increase in its production workforce.
