WORK CYCLES

KEG
Firstly, put manually a keg onto a worktable. By lowering the press cylinder is the keg locked on the locking head.

PIPING (WASHING AND STERILIZATION)
The external washing of piping is done by water. The drying of the pipeline is carried out with a stream of N or CO2.  Once  this  operation  is concluded the piping is sanitized with steam.

PRE-FILLING CHECK
The filling valve opens and the internal pressure of the KeyKeg is checked to see if any valve is leaking or can damage the container.

PRESSURIZATION
N or CO2 flows into the keg – pressure is applied to the keg.

FILLING
Filling is controlled by an electromagnetic counter that can be set on the touch screen.

PIPING (WASHING AND STERILIZATION)
The external washing of piping is done by water. The drying of the pipeline is carried out with a stream of N or CO2.  Once  this  operation  is concluded the piping is sanitized with steam.

ENDING OF THE PHASE
By lifting the cylinder you can manually remove the full keg.
