PET and Plastics Packaging Company Petainer Has Launched Its New Pet Solution

PET and plastics packaging company Petainer has launched its new PET solution, the petainerKeg Linestar, at BrauBeviale 2014 in Nuremberg, Germany.

The new solution features a redesigned outer shell which helps it to fit specifically on existing steel-keg filling lines and is based on the petainerKeg classic blown, one-way, recyclable PET keg.

The petainerKeg claims to result in 30% reduction in costs of logistics and also helps in maintaining the taste quality equal to that of steel.

It will be available in 20 and 30 litre formats and can be filled on an existing filling line, from the bottom up on a filling head.

Petainer Group commercial strategy director Annemieke Hartman-Jemmett said, "It used to be unthinkable to transport beer, wine and cider in steel kegs, instead of wood. PET is simply part of the ongoing evolution of the keg.

"With the petainerKeg Linestar we're now taking that evolution a step further - making it even easier for fillers and brewers to benefit from a lightweight, more flexible packaging system that reduces freight costs - without the need for them to invest in new filling lines or systems."

The petainerKeg Linestar can travel efficiently and smoothly on existing steel-keg lines while its casing makes the keg easier to handle in bars, clubs and restaurants.

Apart from being fully recyclable, it can be printed according to specifications by customers.

"The inbound logistics costs associated with using Petainer preforms are a fraction of those for metal kegs because more than 30,000 keg preforms can be transported in a single container.

"This makes our local blowing solutions perfect for minimising CO2 footprint, whilst providing maximum flexibility on a seasonal product, facilitating natural demand fluctuation, and supporting premium products as well as introducing new entrants to market faster," added Hartman-Jemmett.
