Talos Keg

The Talos Keg is an input, no other expenses; the steel barrels have larger fixed assets investment and depreciation. In the off-season, the steel barrels are fully recovered and occupy a large storage area, resulting in storage costs; recycling, inventory, and storage, and accounting for fixed assets every year. Administrative management activities such as deposit collection and settlement will also generate corresponding management fees. Talos Kegs are ordered on demand, and they can be ordered without ordering. They are ready to use, no need for post management, and greatly simplify the use of procedures.

The environmental protection aluminum foil bag inside the Talos Keg has been sterilized and disinfected at the factory. All the indicators are in line with the state before the filling. Only the disinfectant is used to flush the mouth of the keg when filling, and the steam can be used to start the filling. The steel drum is in accordance with the standard process. It requires 9 processes before filling: draining liquid→washing with water→ washing with alkali→ washing with water→weak pickling→ water→sterilization→ oxygen removal→pressure preparation, and the need for more large and expensive equipment. The filling process is long and the production efficiency is low.

Talos Kegs have no requirements for pressurized gas, and can be used to directly drink alcohol through air pumps; eliminating the need to purchase pressure reducing valves, gas cylinders, gas meters, and food-grade carbon dioxide; more importantly, eliminating the need for food-grade carbon dioxide supply in many cities. The time and effort required for barrel beer sellers to find and purchase gas cylinders also solves the obstacles that some terminals are reluctant to place high-pressure gas cylinders in their business premises without selling barrel beer.

The stainless steel beer barrel is pressurized by carbon dioxide through the beer spear. Because the beer spear and the bottom of the barrel need a certain gap, the bottom of the barrel can not be played. According to the diameter of the barrel, it is generally between 500-800 grams of beer. Resulting in the loss of profits in the retail terminal; the Talos Keg's gas is squeezed out between the outer barrel and the inner bag, and finally the beer residue in the keg is about 10 grams, which is almost non-destructive, so that the seller can obtain greater benefits.

Due to the complicated and error-prone cleaning process of the steel drum, the long-term use of the beer spear is easy to wear and cause leakage, which inevitably leads to bad beer. The filling process of the Talos Keg is simple, and it can extend the shelf life of the beer and effectively reduce the bad beer rate.

Due to the need to return the empty barrels and the cost of returning the empty barrels, the reasonable sales radius is about 300 kilometers, which greatly restricts the sales of breweries that cannot be laid out in the national production base. Talos Keg, no need to return, breaking the sales radius limit, a factory can be sold nationwide, but also save the freight back to the empty keg.

Steel barrels are used repeatedly for many years. Beer barrels and beer spears need to be regularly tested, repaired and replaced. The gas cylinders of the matching steel barrels also need to be inspected, repaired and replaced. The Talos Kegs have no such expenses. The only cost is to purchase the kegs.

Under normal circumstances, the service life of steel barrels is 10 years, scrapped according to 10 years, 5 times in 1 year, 50 times in total, and an average of 350 yuan for steel barrel purchase. The direct cost per use is 7 yuan, plus indirect fixed asset management cost, while the Talos Keg does not.

Because the steel barrel needs to be reused, the barrel goes from the brewery to the dealer to the terminal and then back to the brewery. The recycling path is complicated, and the loss phenomenon is inevitable. The Talos Keg does not need to return the empty keg for one-time use, so it will not appear this problem.

Due to the high cleaning requirements of the steel barrel, four of the five heads in the filling line are used for washing, one for filling; and the Talos Keg is only required to have one filling head. Steel barrel filling line equipment has a large footprint, more complicated maintenance and high cost of use, higher purchase price, more operators, and a lower return on investment than Talos Kegs.
