Brands
=Pegas=
Pegas is an apparatus for fast foam-free dispensing of foamy beverages (beer and others). It is installed in retail outlets. Its operation principle is based on the back pressure: the bottle is filled with a gas, then the beer squeezes it out of the container. Beer is fed into the bottle under pressure, and the back pressure in the bottle pushes and extinguishes the foam. This method had already been followed in industrial production, however, the company patented seven devices that operate on the basis of back pressure.[https://www.forbes.ru/forbes/issue/2011-03/65262-uzkoe-gorlyshko Узкое горлышко.
