Buying, renting or refurbishing

Costs per keg and year, per fill, break-even and tied-up capital in three scenarios – with researched market prices as starting values.

Keg Explorer

A DIN keg in 3D – rotate it, break it down into components, cut it open. Every part with its function and wear pattern.

Keg condition and residual value

Enter design, year of manufacture and visible defects – findings, when the spear overhaul is due and the range between scrap value and market value.

Open

Does your keg pay for itself?

Cycles, return rate and distribution distance against the published break-even points – with no invented CO₂ figures.

Layers, stacking height, weight and articulated lorry utilisation for every design – drawn to scale.
