Keg clamp servicing
July 1st 2007

When Carlsberg UK made the decision to centralise servicing of its keg clamps to improve downtime and reliability, it turned to B&B Attachments. B&B Attachments has signed a service agreement with Carlsberg UK to maintain the company's 80 keg clamps and replace them on a regular cycle. Engineers carry out planned inspections four times a year to check the pressure of the hydraulics and test for cracking.

In addition they attend call-outs, breakdowns and repairs on a national basis.

"B&B Attachments provide us with good response times on callouts, they refurbish clamps and also provide us with new Kaup keg clamps on a regular cycle of replacement, which will mean that this year we will be purchasing 15 new clamps from them", says Andrew Davis, national fleet engineer. "Signing the agreement with B&B Attachments has improved downtime and resulted in less wastage from dropped kegs".
