Fitting Refurbishment – Professional Overhaul of Your Keg Fittings

An intact keg fitting (also known as keg valve or spear system) is essential for the safety and functionality of your beer kegs. Through regular refurbishment, your fittings remain tight, hygienic, and reliable in operation.

Instead of replacing worn fittings at high cost, we offer a professional refurbishment that saves money while significantly extending the service life of your kegs.
Our experienced technicians work with precision and expertise so you can rely on the highest quality at all times.

We follow a structured service process to restore each fitting to “as new” condition, combining state-of-the-art technology with proven know-how. Our process includes:

1. Removal and Initial Inspection: The fitting is carefully removed from the keg. A thorough inspection follows, checking all components for damage or wear. This early check ensures that any parts needing replacement are identified right away.
2. Disassembly and Measurement: The fitting is completely dismantled. Every single part – from housing to valve plate and spear – is precisely measured and checked against tolerance specifications. This ensures all components fit perfectly during reassembly.
3. Intensive Cleaning (Ultrasonic Bath): All parts are then cleaned thoroughly in an ultrasonic bath. This process reaches even the finest cavities, effectively removing beerstone, dirt, and deposits. We use food-safe, biodegradable cleaning agents to achieve the highest hygiene standards without damaging materials. After cleaning, components look like new and are microbiologically pure.
4. Replacement of Worn Parts: All seals, valves, and springs showing wear are replaced with brand-new, original-quality parts. This includes CO₂ valves and main O-rings (e.g., square seals) as per manufacturer guidelines. We use only branded components from leading manufacturers to ensure your fitting is restored as close to new condition as possible.
5. Professional Reassembly: The fitting is then carefully reassembled by our experts. Thanks to prior measurement, all parts fit together precisely. Using special precision tools and assembly aids, we avoid any damage during the process. On request, we mark the repair date directly on the fitting – providing transparency and helping you track maintenance intervals.
6. Final Inspection and Reinstallation: Each refurbished fitting undergoes a rigorous final inspection. We test for leaks, spring function, and valve play to ensure everything works flawlessly. The fitting is then reinstalled using a calibrated torque screwdriver system. Our modern torque tools apply the exact specified torque (approx. 75 Nm), guaranteeing consistent, secure installation without over-tightening threads. This ensures consistent quality and prevents leaks. Finally, we can perform a pressure test on request to confirm proper function.
