Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a beverage keg, preferably a so-called beer barrel.
  • the present invention relates in particular so-called KEG barrels such as those in the Brewery industry for the filling of beer on a large scale be used.
  • the so-called KEG containers are in principle cylindrical barrels, preferably made of stainless steel, with a screwed riser pipe, which is characterized by a special suitability when using automatic cleaning and Label bottling plants.
  • KEG barrels have in usually only a single opening into which the epee with the KEG valve is screwed in. Even the empty barrel remains against them The outside world is closed and is under a carbon dioxide overpressure. Soiling is excluded and enables largely sterile filling.
  • the KEG barrels have a relatively low weight and can be cleaned and filled on the assembly line.
  • the KEG barrels are transported on Euro pallets with a Footprint in a given module size of ordinary 800 mm x 1,200 mm. Since a fixed maximum number of Barrels to be placed on such a Euro pallet is the The diameter of the KEG barrel is specified. As a rule, they have commercially available KEG barrels have a capacity of 50 I. In addition 30 I-KEG barrels are also known, but the use of 50 I-KEG barrels in the catering trade, that means where there larger quantities of beer are tapped regularly.
  • the barrel diameter is also the height of the cylindrical KEG barrel Are defined.
  • the diameter of the conventional 50 I KEG barrels is at a little less than 400 mm, so that on the footprint one Euro pallet in the transverse direction next to each other two such beer kegs Space and three rows of such beer barrels in the longitudinal direction find space next to each other.
  • the object of the invention is a beverage keg, preferably a beer keg of the aforementioned KEG type to make available, which on the one hand is a larger one Has capacity, but on the other hand approximately the same Base area as the usual 50 I drums.
  • the A beverage keg according to the invention provides a solution to this problem with the features of the protection claim 1.
  • the in principle cylindrical beverage keg approximately has the same approximately circular base area as a conventional 50 liter barrel, but the height of the barrel exceeds that of conventional barrels, preferably considerably exceeds and is, for example, at least double.
  • the beverage keg according to the invention has a elongated shape, the height the diameter of the barrel significantly exceeds.
  • the barrel height can preferably twice the barrel diameter or more be.
  • Capacity volume of approx. 100 I is about twice as good great height in relation to the diameter, which like the conventional barrels is preferably just under 40 cm.
  • beverage kegs can be even larger Capacity can be produced.
  • the height of the beverage barrel can also be three times or three and a half times the Diameter. In the latter case you get for example a drum with a capacity of 175 l, its footprint with a diameter of almost 40 cm corresponds to that of a conventional 50 I-KEG barrel. On such a 175 I barrel can be used, for example handle a hand truck quite well. It is obvious that the volume, that is the height of the barrel due to the There are upper limits to handling problems. The The use of a 175 I drum has proven itself for the applicant.
  • the illustration shows a beverage keg according to the invention, in which it is a so-called KEG barrel for draft beer.
  • the barrel is generally designated by reference number 10.
  • the keg according to the invention has conventional KEG barrels 10 essentially a cylindrical shape, but here very much is elongated because the total height H is almost four times the Diameter D is.
  • the total height does not account for how one can see from the sectional view of FIG. 2 a part of the Foot part 1 1, on which the actual beverage barrel forming Container 12, which holds the drink, for example beer, is at rest.
  • This container 12, which holds the drink is how to the sectional view of FIG. 2 does not recognize purely cylindrical shaped, but it has a domed bottom 13 which on the Foot part 11 rests.
  • the outer cylindrical shape of the foot part 11 which has a flat base 14 on the underside, overall largely a cylindrical shape.
  • the elongated container 12 which holds the drink has arranged at the upper end in the middle of the KEG tap connection 15 In the outer edge area surrounds a frame 16. How one 1 recognizes, the frame 16 also sets in the outer view observes the cylindrical shape of the container 12 upwards.
  • the frame 16 preferably has two handle holes 17 into which one can intervene to handle the beverage keg.
  • the high of Frame 16 is only a few cm, for example about 9 cm, while the height of the foot section is also only a few cm, approximately lying in the same order of magnitude, for example about 7.5 cm.
  • the frame 16 at the upper end projects beyond the KEG tap closure 15 preferably to protect it.
  • the total height H therefore results predominantly from the height of the actual beverage container 12, in particular by the above and below the curved shape of the container 12 itself
  • the capacity of the in FIGS. 1 to 3 beverage keg 10 shown by way of example is, for example 175 I with a diameter of 39.5 cm and a total height of about 1.58 m.
  • the pictures show that such Beverage barrel 10 according to the invention in its proportions with a conventional beverage keg is not comparable. Still that is when placing the beverage barrel 10 on, for example Pallet (not shown here) occupied footprint (see also Fig. 3) not larger than in a conventional 50 I KEG barrel.
