Russian Company Unveils System to Reduce Beer Making Costs

Russian beverage bottle equipment maker Novosibirskprodmash has developed a filling system, which it claims will reduce filling costs and increase keg yield by up to 98%.

The company said its PEGAS CraftTap filling system also reduces beer wastage.

The filler, which takes up 13.8″ x 13.8″ space, increases the filling rate to ~68 fl.oz in 60 seconds.

The new system will enable craft brewers and bars that use taps to serve draft beer to increase profit from beer-to-go sales by up to 20%, the company said.

It is targeting micro brewers in Europe and the US with the commercial launch of the system in April.
