The automatic kegging system includes automatic kegs external washer, automatic kegs washing filling machine, CIP station with 4 tanks for washing kegs, keg weighter and rejecter, keg overturner, auto caps applicator with caps feeder, auto keg manipulator with keg clamp for palletizing, beer flash pasteurizer and insulated buffer tanks.

Advantages

NFE provides a comprehensive fully automatic keg filling system designed for breweries seeking high-efficiency, hygienic, and labor-saving operations. Our integrated solution includes:

  1. Automatic Keg External Washer

    • High-pressure rotating nozzles for thorough external cleaning

    • Stainless steel construction with food-grade sanitation standards

  2. Automatic Keg Washing & Filling Machine

    • Combined 3-in-1 system (washing, purging, filling)

    • Programmable logic control (PLC) for precise fill volumes (±0.5% accuracy)

  3. Advanced CIP Station with 4-Tank System

    • Dedicated tanks for caustic, acid, hot water, and final rinse

    • Automatic chemical dosing and concentration monitoring

  4. Quality Control Modules

    • Keg Weigher & Rejecter: In-line checkweigher with automatic under/overfill rejection

    • Keg Overturner: Ensures complete drainage and inspection

  5. Packaging Automation

    • Auto Caps Applicator: Servo-driven capping with integrated caps feeder (200+ caps storage)

    • Auto Keg Manipulator: Robotic palletizing with keg-specific clamp (up to 120 kegs/hour)

  6. Beer Processing Equipment

    • Flash Pasteurizer: Plate heat exchanger system (72°C for 30 sec)

    • Insulated Buffer Tank: 316L or 304 stainless steel with glycol cooling

NFE’s Fully Automatic Keg Filling System is designed to maximize efficiency, ensure superior hygiene, and reduce operational costs for breweries of all sizes. Below are the key advantages that set our system apart:

1. Unmatched Efficiency & High-Speed Production

✔ High Throughput – Processes 60–200 kegs per hour, scalable to meet growing demand.
✔ Precision Filling – Advanced flow meters ensure ±0.5% fill accuracy, minimizing product waste.
✔ Continuous Operation – Automated loading, washing, filling, and palletizing reduce downtime.

2. Superior Hygiene & Product Safety

✔ Food-Grade Materials – 316L stainless steel construction with CIP (Clean-in-Place) compatibility.
✔ Multi-Stage Washing – High-pressure, 82°C hot caustic cleaning followed by acid rinse and steam sterilization.
✔ Oxygen Control – CO₂/N₂ purging ensures low dissolved oxygen (<20 ppb) for extended beer freshness.

3. Labor & Cost Savings

✔ Fully Automated – Reduces manual labor by up to 60% compared to semi-automatic systems.
✔ Energy Efficient – Heat recovery systems cut utility costs by 20–30%.
✔ Minimal Product Loss – Leak detection and precise filling reduce waste to <0.5%.

4. Smart Automation & Industry 4.0 Integration

✔ PLC + HMI Control – User-friendly interface with recipe storage and real-time monitoring.
✔ IoT Connectivity – Remote diagnostics, predictive maintenance alerts, and OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) tracking.
✔ RFID/QR Code Tracking – Full traceability from washing to filling and dispatch.

5. Flexibility & Customization

✔ Modular Design – Adaptable for 20L, 30L, 50L kegs and future expansion.
✔ Optional Add-Ons –

  • Flash pasteurization for extended shelf life

  • Auto-labeling & palletizing robots

  • Nitrogen dosing for nitro beers
