Sirencraft choose Lambrechts for kegging expansion

As part of its expansion programme, Sirencraft - the Wokingham-based craft brewer renowned for its wide range of quality beers - will be installing a Lambrechts Monobloc 50 early in 2023 The new machine will increase output while also reducing staffing levels in the kegging area.

The fully-automated Monobloc 50 is the smallest of the Monobloc range having 2 washing heads and one filling head, transferring the kegs from station to station using a walking beam mechanism

Taking up a space of only 4 5 m x 4 5 including conveyor, while potentially delivering outputs of up to sixty kegs per hour dependent on agreed cycle times, the Monobloc 50 delivers the maximum output for its footprint. Indeed, like many UK craft brewers, space was a real issue at Sirencraft and the MB50 was an ideal fit

The Lambrechts philosophy of delivering a surgically sterile keg was vitally important to Sean Knight and owner Darron Anley, as the Sirencraft reputation is built on the quality and diversity of its beers
