Mini kegs beer tap
Stainless steel is a preferred material for beer taps because it is durable, corrosion-resistant, easy to clean and sanitary. Stainless steel beer taps can be classified into different types based on their design, function and features.
One type of stainless steel beer tap is the standard tap, which consists of a faucet, a shank and a handle. The faucet is the part that controls the flow of beer by opening and closing a valve. The shank is the metal tube that connects the faucet to the keg or the cask. The handle is the part that the user pulls or pushes to operate the faucet. Standard taps can have different styles of faucets, such as rear-sealing, forward-sealing, creamer and flow-control. Rear-sealing faucets have a valve that seals at the back of the faucet, which can cause beer to remain in the faucet and create foam or bacteria growth. Forward-sealing faucets have a valve that seals at the front of the faucet, which prevents beer from staying in the faucet and reduces foaming and contamination. Creamer faucets have a special valve that creates a creamy head on the beer by injecting air into the beer stream. Flow-control faucets have an adjustable valve that allows the user to regulate the flow rate and pressure of the beer.
Another type of stainless steel beer tap is the self-closing tap, which has a spring-loaded mechanism that automatically closes the faucet when the handle is released. This type of tap prevents wastage and spillage of beer by stopping the flow of beer when not in use. Self-closing taps can also have different styles of faucets, such as rear-sealing, forward-sealing, creamer and flow-control.
A third type of stainless steel beer tap is the push-button tap, which has a button that activates an electric or pneumatic pump that dispenses beer from the keg or the cask. This type of tap does not require a faucet, a shank or a handle, and can be mounted on a wall, a counter or a tower. Push-button taps are convenient and easy to use, but they can also cause excessive foaming and loss of carbonation if not calibrated properly.
A fourth type of stainless steel beer tap is the tower tap, which is a vertical column that holds multiple faucets on its sides. Tower taps are usually installed on a bar or a counter top, and can serve different types of beers from different kegs or casks. Tower taps can have various shapes and sizes, such as T-shaped, Y-shaped, L-shaped and S-shaped. Tower taps can also have different styles of faucets, such as rear-sealing, forward-sealing, creamer and flow-control.
Stainless steel beer taps are essential equipment for serving quality beer to customers and enthusiasts. They offer many advantages over other materials, such as brass, chrome and plastic. Stainless steel beer taps are more durable, corrosion-resistant, easy to clean and sanitary than other materials. They also preserve the flavor and freshness of beer better than other materials. Stainless steel beer taps are available in various types, styles and features to suit different preferences and needs.
