2. Various KEG closure types from Micro Matic

Micro Matic offers KEG closures for various systems and fittings to ensure compatibility with different types of beer and breweries.

1 flat cone (type A) – „German flat“ connection

• One of the most commonly used KEG types in Germany
• Widely used by breweries such as Bitburger, K�stritzer, Warsteiner, and Fr�h K�lsch
• Flat tapping mechanism for easy handling
• Available as a cellar tap or bar tap with side beer outlet

2 Kombikeg (type M) – special fitting for certain beers

• Less common, but necessary for some breweries with special KEG systems such as Veltins Pils
• Characterized by a special design for increased safety
• Compatible with certain international breweries
• Available in both tap variants (cellar and bar tap)
• Please note: With the cellar tap version, no non-return valve, non-return ball or safety device can be installed. We recommend a beer shut-off tap here.

3 basket keg (type S) – „Euro“ fitting

• Standard in many European countries
• Used for beers such as Heineken, Grolsch, Beck’s, and Stella Artois
• Basket valve mechanism for even and stable beer flow
• Available with top or side beer outlet

4 Köpikeg (Type D) – K&ouml ;nig Keg
Frequently used for brands such as K�nig Pilsener

• Works similarly to type S, but with slightly different dimensions
• Available with cellar or bar tap
• PLEASE NOTE: The K�nig Keg with outlet at the top (cellar tap) has a small hole. This requires a beer stopcock or a flat-sealing nozzle.
