Where has Draft Takeaway Technology come from?

Draft Takeaway Technology began in the city of Novosibirsk, by NPM group in 2004.

NPM Group is one of the most established companies in the Russian Federation.

Since 2004, manufacturing devices under the PEGAS brand has been the central focus of NPM Group. These innovative PEGAS devices are specifically designed to enable fast, foam-free dispensing of beer and other foamy beverages from kegs into smaller packaging, including PET and glass bottles, jugs, and glasses. This technology has become a vital tool for distributors of beer and foamy beverages, as well as for brewers looking to improve efficiency and reduce waste.

PEGAS taps offer a range of unique advantages that significantly enhance the beverage dispensing process. One of the key benefits is that PEGAS taps make the dispensing process 4-5 times faster than standard valve dispensing methods. In addition to speeding up service, PEGAS devices are engineered to prevent the formation of foam during dispensing, ensuring that every pour is smooth and efficient. Furthermore, the technology behind PEGAS taps virtually eliminates beer spillage during dispensing, making it a more economical and environmentally friendly choice.

However, PEGAS is not just a simple device; it represents an entire technology that is protected by patents in the Russian Federation. This groundbreaking technology has earned numerous awards at both Russian and international trade exhibitions. The PEGAS system is based on the backpressure method, where the bottle is filled with CO2 gas at a pressure equal to that in the keg before dispensing. This method is crucial for ensuring foam-free dispensing while preserving the beverage’s original characteristics, such as taste and carbonation. Building on this technology, NPM Group has developed a wide range of products designed to address various challenges associated with dispensing foamy beverages from kegs, all united under the PEGAS brand name.

One of the standout features of PEGAS devices is their user-friendly design. These taps are incredibly easy to operate, requiring no specialized training for personnel, which makes them an excellent choice for bars, taprooms, and breweries.

Since the company’s inception in 2004, over 1 million PEGAS taps have been sold, with more than 30,000 bars and taprooms across the Russian Federation and former USSR countries using these innovative devices, as shown in the featured image. Despite the rapid adoption and success of PEGAS in its homeland, expansion beyond the former USSR territories has been gradual. Before the rise of smartphones and takeaway app technology, beer takeaway was already a popular trend in Russian-speaking cities, thanks in part to PEGAS taps.

Today, Draft Takeaway Technology, originally developed in Novosibirsk, has made its way to the UK. At DraftToGo, we are proud to be the sole distributor of PEGAS taps in the UK, including the highly popular Pegas Evolution, known for its reliability and widespread use across Russia.
