    VERTEX KEG: 30% LIGHTER*, 30% GREENER*, 100% STAINLESS STEEL

    ENGINEERING IN STAINLESS STEEL AT ITS PEAK

    The VERTEX keg is a groundbreaking innovation that’s set to redefine industry standards. Crafted from duplex stainless steel using a revolutionary molding process, this keg is up to 30% lighter than a traditional stainless steel keg with up to 30% lower environmental impact, without compromising strength or durability. 

    VERTEX meets the growing demand for eco-conscious solutions in brewing, while its lower nickel content shields against price volatility in the global market. This creates truly sustainable kegs that offer environmental benefits, unparalleled strength, and predictable pricing.

    WHY VERTEX KEGS OUTPERFORM THE REST

    • LIGHTWEIGHT & SUSTAINABLE: The VERTEX keg is up to 30% lighter and up to 30% greener than a traditional keg, making it easier to handle and transport while significantly reducing environmental impact.
    • STRENGTH & DURABILITY: Engineered with duplex stainless steel, the VERTEX keg maintains exceptional mechanical strength, ensuring it can withstand the demands of heavy-duty use over a long service life. 

      It also offers superior corrosion resistance.

    • EASY HANDLING: Extensive testing carried out according to Spain’s National Institute of Safety and Hygiene at Work (INSHT) shows the VERTEX keg’s ergonomic design reduces the risk of musculoskeletal injuries by at least 10 to 15%.
    • PRICE STABILITY: The VERTEX keg's lower nickel content helps mitigate the impact of price fluctuations in the global market, providing greater cost predictability. 
    • PRODUCT FRESHNESS: Its fully inert and 100% UV-resistant body guarantees that your beverage stays fresh and flavorful throughout its journey.
    • ECO-FRIENDLY END-OF-LIFE: Demonstrating a commitment to sustainability, the VERTEX keg is 100% recyclable at the end of its lifecycle, contributing to a circular economy.

    *Up to 30%, depending on the model and compared to standard stainless steel kegs.
