20L Hybrid Keg
Petainer Kegs are a one-way solution as they are recycled after use thanks to their lightweight PET build material. This makes them perfect for sending your product long distances at low cost. As they can be filled on steel kegs lines and come with the same fitting types, they can easily slot in to production. Petainer Kegs have been rigorously tested to protect against both environmental factors and the rigours of the supply chain, so you can trust Petainer Keg to do the work of steel, without the cost.
