2. WARNINGS AND RULES FOR SAFETY
The PolyKeg®one-way keg is for professional use. Before use, consult this manual, the warning label and
instructions carefully (Fig. 1) as well as the symbols (Fig. 2) on the keg.
If you are inexperienced in the use of the PolyKeg®keg or tapping systems, contact your suppliers in order to
organise appropriate training. The tapping system must be fitted with a suitable pressure reducer complete
with a safety valve in order to not exceed the maximum operating pressure indicated on the label.
The incorrect use of the PolyKeg®keg and/or tapping system may damage the keg or lead it to burst, causing
harm to persons and/or things. The one-way PolyKeg®keg cannot be re-used, must not be incorrectly
disposed of and must be delivered empty and depressurised to an authorised collection centre.
Check the integrity of the keg before and during use.
Do not remove or render illegible the labels on the keg.
Keep away from
children.
Do not perforate
and/or cut.
Do not roll and/or
allow to fall.
Do not expose to

6.2 FILLING PROCEDURE
• Place PolyKeg®to be filled on a stable level surface.
• Clean and sanitise coupler and valve following the instructions given in section 5 of the user manual.
• Connect the filling head to the valve.
• Lower completely the coupler’s handle ) Fig. 1. The pressure gauge $ will now display PolyKeg’s
internal pressure.
• To set the counter-pressure, open the pressure top-up valve # until reaching the desired counter-
pressure value (approximately 0.5 bar less than the product filling pressure) and then close it.
• Open the product filling valve (Fig. 1 to start the filling process.
• Work on the counter-pressure regulator ^ Fig. 1 to set and/or change the product filling speed.
• Once reached the desired product level, close the product filling valve (Fig. 1.
NOTE Do not exceed the filling nominal volume to avoid any potential spilling.
NOTE For kegs with bag, before lifting the coupler’s handle at the end of the filling process:
- Close the counter-pressure regulator ^.
- Open the pressure top-up valve # to reach a counter-pressure value equal or superior
to the product filling pressure.
- Close the pressure top-up valve #.
• Lift quickly the coupler’s handle ) Fig. 1.
• Disconnect the filling head from the keg.
• Remove any leftover product from the keg.
• Clean and sanitise the valve.
• Place the tamper evident cap on the valve Fig. 2.

2. PolyKeg® kegs are supplied pressurised to 1 bar with nitrogen (ready to be filled).
3. The maximum axial load of the PolyKeg®keg (clamping force) varies in accordance to the internal
pressure. Reference values:
• 100 kg at 1 bar (as supplied).
• 60 kg at 0 bar (if depressurised during filling).
4. The contact surfaces on the PolyKeg®valve must be sanitised by following the indications in section 5
of this manual.
• Maximum water pressure: 1 bar

the product used for filling.
5. Begin filling - the fluid will enter the keg.
6. Once the desired quantity has been reached, stop filling.
7. Close the keg valve.
8. Disconnect the filling head.
9. Remove any product residue from the valve.
