Dolium vs
other one-way kegs

You have already made the switch to one-way. The real question is which one-way keg, and not all of them are equal.

What actually sets Dolium apart

Most one-way kegs get you off stainless steel kegs. Dolium goes further on the three things that decide day-to-day results: safety, reliability and compatibility.

The only patented APRV

The APRV (Automatic Pressure Relief Valve) opens at 5 bar during storage and transport, re-closes at 2 bar and can be opened by hand when empty. Kegs without a re-closable valve cannot offer the same margin of safety.

No bag, no second failure point

Many one-way kegs are bag-in-keg systems. The bag is a second component to fill correctly and a second thing that can crease, leak or fail. Dolium is single-wall, with no bag.

Keg coupler

Standard filling and dispense

Every standard spear: A, G, S and D. Fill manually or on semi and fully automatic lines, and pour on professional dispense equipment. No adapters, no re-tooling.

Dolium focuses on one thing

Dolium makes one-way kegs and nothing else. That shows in the product, in hands-on technical support and in short delivery times. You are not a side line in a broad catalogue.

  • Manual, semi and fully automatic lines, no adapters
  • Adapters or re-tooling may be needed
  • Emptying
  • Curved tube empties the keg to the last drop
  • Residue can stay behind in the keg
  • Recycling
  • Class A recyclable and PPWR compliant
  • Varies per keg and per market
  • Focus of the maker

  • The left column describes what we commonly see in the category, not one specific brand.

    Proven, not just claimed

    Dolium kegs have been audited and certified by leading global beverage companies under extreme conditions of temperature, pressure and handling.

    The three-barrier technology preserves the shelf life of your beverage, with up to 18 months of protection. If you have heard that one-way kegs leak or oxidise, this is the evidence that answers it.

    Try it on your own line

    Two ways to check the claims before you order a pallet.

    Switching is simple

    Dolium runs on the filling and dispense equipment you already use, so moving over needs no new heads, couplers or line changes. Ask for samples or a trial quantity and validate it on your own line before you commit.
