Brewery & Beverage Handling Solutions:
Let us turn your bottlenecks into opportunities!
Streamlining the flow of goods.
SCHE supplies sack and keg lifting equipment to industrial breweries from Nigeria and Kenya to high-growth microbreweries across the SADC region, eliminating the physical strain of manual handling. Our brewery keg lifting equipment and sack lifting equipment is designed to survive the high humidity and salinity of tropical climates, ensuring long-term reliability where standard mild-steel systems fail.
By adhering to International Safety Standards (ISO) and regional OHS Act compliance, we help Operations Managers accelerate throughput while maintaining a sterile, safe environment.
Malt & Hop Bag Handling (25kg – 50kg)
Repetitive hopper loading is a primary cause of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Our vacuum technology takes 100% of the load weight, allowing for rapid, fatigue-free ingredient feeding.
-
Recommended Product: TAWI Stainless Steel Vacuum Lifter.
-
Safety (MSD Prevention): Eliminates lower back strain and injury risks during the lifting of 50kg grain sacks.
-
Efficiency (One-Person Operation): Enables a single operator to empty sacks quickly, keeping the brew schedule on track.
-
Flexibility (Multi-load Handling): Hygienic suction feet are designed to grip paper, plastic, or woven polypropylene sacks.
Keg & Crate Handling
Heavy kegs are difficult to manoeuvre manually in wet cold rooms or dispatch bays. Our specialized tools provide a secure grip and total control.
-
Recommended Product: TAWI Keg Lifter (Vacuum or Hoist-based).
-
Safety: Provides a mechanical grip on the keg rim, preventing accidental drops and foot injuries.
-
Efficiency: Accelerates the palletising process, allowing for faster distribution turnarounds.
-
Flexibility: Easily handles various keg sizes (20L, 30L, 50L) with the same lifting unit.
Bottling & Crate Handling
High-frequency end-of-line stacking requires equipment that can maintain peak performance during the "Workday Window".
-
Recommended Product: High-Frequency Vacuum Lifter or Marco Scissor Lift Table.
-
Safety: Keeps the "work window" at a constant ergonomic height, reducing bending and fatigue.
-
Efficiency: One operator can manage high-volume crate stacking without physical exhaustion.
The Technical Advantage: Brewery Keg and Sack Lifting for Africa
To ensure maximum longevity in tropical climates and high-moisture brewery environments, SCHE specifies premium materials as a standard for the beverage sector.
- Grade 304/316 Stainless Steel: Provides superior resistance to corrosion and chemical sanitisers.
-
IP65 Washdown Ratings: Our systems are built to withstand rigorous daily cleaning and sanitisation protocols required for HACCP/GMP compliance.
-
Food-Grade Lubricants: All moving parts use certified non-toxic lubricants to ensure zero risk to your product.
