Our Services
Maintaining your keg or cask fleet is crucial to keep your containers working for you.
Vaatje's premium, comprehensive services can help to keep your kegs & casks maintained for long term use, and reduce the need for replacement.
Read about some of our services below, but for more bespoke services please get in touch.
Internal & External Inspection
Vaatje offers a comprehensive internal & external inspection of kegs & casks. These inspections are vital to prevent safety & quality issues.
These keg & cask checks help to reduce failures & maintain an efficient fleet of assets, reducing unnecessary costs and extending the life of your fleet.

Keg & Cask De-branding
Our custom-engineered, ultra-high-pressure debranding unit can remove the toughest paint, ink or stickers from your kegs & casks.
With 25-30,000 PSI of pressure, we can remove just about any build-up from the exterior of your keg or cask.

Keg & Cask Re-branding
Your fleet reflects your brand and your products. We suggest rebranding your kegs & casks with a custom design to represent your brewery & products.
From the replacement of labels to crimping & chimb customisation, we can modify your keg fleet to embody your brand.
Spear Maintenance & Refurbishment
Spears must be replaced & rebuilt at least every seven years (without proper care, this will need to be done more frequently).
We can maintain your spears, and also change your spear type (if needed) to the standard TPI versions, which are more affordable & generally much safer.
Cleaning
Internal & external keg & cask cleaning is vital for maintaining high-quality products. Improper cleaning may leave micro-organisms inside your kegs & casks, which can ruin the quality of your product. We also offer UHP exterior cleaning to remove old labels, stickers & potential contaminants.
