Plastic ecokeg instead of one-way plastic keg

图片
  Based on the accidents happened in the breweries/pubs & bars recently - one-way plastic kegs explosion caused broken of hands, piecing of hands, burst of eye balls, etc... even if these are caused by some of the cheap/low quality one-way plastic kegs, not the Gprokeg non-explosion one-way plastic kegs related, and most of such accidents were paid by the insurance (the Chinese market), no loss of the manufacturers/ breweries, but some injuries will influrence the whole life of the workers, and we see the potential risk of such one-way plastic kegs for beer and/or carbonated beverages; on the other hand, the one-way plastic products will be not the direction of green/sustainable, etc... that for, from now on, Gpro Technology will stop to produce and supply the previous one-way plastic kegs. instead of the one-way plastic kegs, Gpro Technology upgraded them to a plastic ecokeg - HDPE blow molded plastic keg, with glass fiber reinforcement, which can stand over 15bar pressure, fr...

shelf life & taste stability of Gprokeg plastic kegs for filled beer

  The shelf life and taste stability for filled beverage, especially for filled beer, are the key parameters of the plastic kegs. for filled beer, during the shelf life, it requires the total oxyty should be less than 1000ppb, and the CO2 loss should be less than 10%, otherwise, the beer will be tasted old and/or flat; only stainless steel kegs and glass bottle can meet such requirements for the filled beer in the past several decades; it's a challenge for plastic kegs to meet such high requirement, any single polymer is not possible to have so high barrier performance, that's why not possible for all the PET one-way plastic kegs to have long shelf life for filled beer, even if with aluminium foil or aluminium film inner bag in the plastic kegs, due to crack and/or damage of the aluminium layer after the bag folding, it's also not possible to provide so high barrier performance and the filled beer is not possible to have a long shelf life. with years research on high barrie...

strength and safety of plastic kegs

 The safety of plastic kegs for beverages packing is very important, especially for the carbonated beverages, e.g. beer, cider, etc., under high temperature during transport or storage, the CO2 comes out from the carbonated beverages, makes the pressure inside the kegs go up an up; for most beer or cider, the pressure inside the keg can go up to even 8 bar; for such a big volume of keg with so high pressure, it's possible to cause the burst of the plastic keg, the shoot out component or burst into pieces from the plastic kegs like a bullet or even like a bomb, it's possible to injure or even kill people. the Gprokeg team considered about this carefully from the beginning of R&D, we choose HDPE polymer instead of PET for the blow molded kegs body, with proper wall thickness for the keg body but still with competitive cost; with enough elongation from the HDPE polymer, even if under extremely high pressure, e.g. over 15bar -20 bar pressure from some beverages with high CO2 co...

  social responsibility related, Gpro Technology stopped to produce most of the one-way plastic kegs; but even if the one-way plastic kegs will be not the direction of future kegs development, cost and investment wise, still a lot of breweries would like to use one-way plastic kegs for export and/or far distance delivery purpose ... requested by the local breweries, Gpro Technology develop a new 20L slim one-way plastic keg. same as the Gprokeg product series, the new 20L slim one-way plastic keg is made of HDPE blow molded keg, strong and tough, never burst, which is the most safe one-way plastic keg, and not sensitive to any stress, which makes the keg even reusable, by replacing the inner beer bag, this one-way plastic keg can be reused for several times, which can be called multiple use keg, to eliminate as much as possible the negative influence for the environment, etc...... same as other Gprokeg plastic kegs, a extremely high barrier inner bag in the 20L slim one-way plastic...

an innovative, most safe/cost effective/portable pressure source system (electrical mini pump) for the Gprokeg plastic kegs, no CO2 and big gas cylinder needed anymore; thanks to the multi barrier technology in the kegs, the compressed air never goes into and contact with beer.

The Storage Temperature of Beer

We know the light and oxygen is the enemy of beer storage, the finished beer must be stored without light (especially sunshine) and oxygen; but also some people talking about that the finished beer must be kept under low temperature, even with some data for explaination, talking about, for every 10 ° C (50 ° F) increase in temperature, the related chemical reaction rate doubles, beer stored at 100°F for one week tastes as old as beer stored at 70°F for two months, or as old as beer stored at 40°F for one year……but also some different opinions, the typical one is for the IPA, it was designed in the late 1700’s to withstand the long journey by ship from Britain to India, which meant spending up to six months in hot climates. Rumor has it that this “hot maturation” process created a beer that was so good, it became popular back in Britain, is it possible that the technologies of beer brewing and storage now even not as good as the one of IPA in the late 1700’s? also some people did rela...

none explosion plastic beer keg

There are many different type of plastic kegs on the market for beer  packaging this decades, they are light weight, cheap, no need washing/cleaning/sterilization, etc., with high barrier performance to O2 and CO2 for long shelf life, most of them for one-way use and don't need to be returned, no worry of keg lost, etc... which is quite convenient for the breweries. Most of such kegs are intent to replace the stainless steel beer keg, and actually, more and more plastic kegs are using for beer packaging on the market now, but as most of such plastic kegs are for one-way use, the unit packaging cost (packaging cost per liter beer) is still higher than the one from stainless steel kegs, and the main issue is that, some of such plastic keg is not as safe as the stainless kegs, it limite the using of such plastic kegs for the beer packaging. As have to lower the cost of such plastic keg as much as possible, so that it's competitive to the stainless steel kegs, most of such plas...
