About Rotech

Racker monitoring has been a Rotech core business speciality since 1988, and the Rotech System is the world leader in electronic keg systems — copied, but unequalled.

Totally Independent

We do not supply any other line equipment or rackers.

We have installations with most major brewing Groups worldwide (including Carlton & United, MolsonCoors, SAB-Miller, Heineken, AB-InBev, Carlsberg, Lion Nathan, Fosters, Sapporo, Diageo/Guinness), and a host of smaller groups and independents.

Data Archives

We have thousands of archive records from every type and size of filler worldwide — from the smallest single lane to the largest multi-line 3-carousel rotary; and from every type and size of keg from 5-litre to 163-litre (36 Imp. Gal).

Signifiicantly Improve Operations

Reduce energy and utilities consumption, improve washing and hygiene, eliminate filling problems and increase throughput.

Cost Reductions and Quality Improvements

In most cases the Rotech Keg System will return on its investment faster than any other capital item of which we know.

Full Analysis Service

Using actual line results, we can provide specific confidential recommendations for process improvement opportunities, based on our long experience.

Ensuring filling lines are optimised

The effect of what we do is to ensure that each brewery, using our technology, is able to guarantee that the process that cleans their kegs has removed contaminants, yeasts and residues that taint beer.

In addition, the use of the Rotech keg enables each brewery to tune their line. This unique technology may enable to save up to 10% savings in utilities, chemical and reduce beer losses. This makes the investment in an Electronic Keg supplied by Rotech a “no brainer”.

Sensors in the Rotech Keg

Here are some of the conditions the Rotech Keg will show:

Poor/weak washing (low pump pressure)
Pools in the keg during washing (poor practice)
Liquid carry-over from head to head (intentional or not)
Spear tube washing (‘trickle-back’)
Air in the keg during steam disinfection (hygiene risk)
Too low/too high steam temperatures
Disinfection steam quality/saturation
Temperature distribution in the keg (often not uniform)
Hygiene risks at any time
Risks/causes of high DO’s in the beer
Risks/causes of high micros (regular or occasional)
Rate of filling/emptying (water, detergents, beer)
Fill performance
