This project will provide the UK designed, manufactured, and improved modular solution to productively fill the now popular 5 Litre Mini Kegs which are appearing in supermarkets and beer shops. The project has been prioritized due to the Covid-19 virus which has closed pubs and bars which has in turn closed down breweries and brewery equipment manufacturers which previously produced draught beers and draught beer packaging equipment (large pack). In the UK a 45% of beer consumption is undertaken in pubs and bars which is known as the On Trade. This market is closed down and will take considerable time to recover. The Off Trade market 55% is currently unable to satisfy the demand for take-home beers as there are insufficient packaging facilities in the UK's craft brewing producers to deliver cans, bottles, and mini-kegs (small pack) to 100% of the beer market in the UK. Also, nearly all the manufacturers of small pack filling machines are imports from Europe, the USA, and China. The unique and innovative solution now proposed by SJR Precision Eng Ltd is to utilize large pack technology for cask and keg filling in a small pack modular Mini Keg filler to meet the needs of small craft breweries in the UK decimated by the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, this project will enable the designers and skilled engineers of SJR Precision and its subcontractors and supplier to produce much-needed new products for take-home beers while pubs and bars remain closed.---ADDITIONAL INFORMATION HERE----As the story with COVID-19 Progress and more restriction is put in place the extra help is needed not just to the hospitality industry but to the supply chain feeding it. The extension for impact funding will allow us to provide extra resources to the current task in progress as well as create an extensive marketing campaign. This will speed up the road to the market exponentially. With help from a digital marketing agency, we can reach the audience on all social media platforms as well as create sales aids for more traditional sales techniques.Additional funding will allow us to approach the selected brewery and ask for field trials to be conducted using a live product. this will provide extremely valuable feedback from the operators to make the machine more user friendly and remove potential software bugs as well as improve the machine performance.This approach is currently unavailable to brewers if they decide to purchase the imported machines as all of them are sold as seen or the cost of support from abroad makes it impossible to conduct. With the manufacturing facility in UK, we not only commit to providing local jobs but also give the peace of mind for our customers that they have someone local to speak to in case of a breakdown or a need for maintenance services.With the festive season weeks away, it's extremely important to give the hospitality industry the extra help needed in these difficult times.

该项目将提供英国设计、制造和改进的模块化解决方案，以有效地填充现在流行的5升迷你小桶，这些小桶出现在超市和啤酒店。由于新冠肺炎病毒关闭了酒吧和酒吧，该项目得到了优先考虑，进而关闭了啤酒厂和酿造设备制造商，这些制造商以前生产生啤和生啤包装设备(大包装)。在英国，45%的啤酒消费是在酒吧里进行的，这就是众所周知的On Trade。这个市场已经关闭，需要相当长的时间才能恢复。Off Trade市场目前55%无法满足带回家的啤酒的需求，因为英国精酿啤酒生产商没有足够的包装设施将罐头、瓶子和迷你小桶(小包装)运送到英国100%的啤酒市场。此外，几乎所有的小包装灌装机制造商都是从欧洲、美国和中国进口的。SJR精密工程有限公司现在提出的独特和创新的解决方案是利用大包装技术在小包装模块化Mini Keg灌装机中灌装桶和桶，以满足英国因新冠肺炎疫情而遭受重创的小型手工酿酒厂的需求。此外，这个项目将使SJR Precision及其分包商和供应商的设计师和熟练的工程师能够在酒吧和酒吧关闭的情况下生产急需的新产品，用于外卖啤酒。-这里有更多信息--随着新冠肺炎的进展和更多限制的实施，不仅对酒店业，对供应它的供应链也需要额外的帮助。Impact资金的延期将使我们能够为当前正在进行的任务提供额外资源，并创建广泛的营销活动。这将使通向市场的道路成倍加快。在数字营销机构的帮助下，我们可以在所有社交媒体平台上接触受众，并为更传统的销售技巧创建销售辅助工具。额外的资金将允许我们接触选定的啤酒厂，并要求使用现场产品进行现场试验。这将从操作员那里提供非常有价值的反馈，使机器更加用户友好，并消除潜在的软件错误以及提高机器性能。如果酿酒商决定购买进口机器，则目前无法使用这种方法，因为所有这些机器都是按所见方式销售的，或者来自国外的支持成本使其无法进行。通过在英国的制造设施，我们不仅致力于提供当地的就业机会，还为我们的客户提供了安心，因为他们有当地的人可以在故障或需要维护服务的情况下交谈。随着节日季节的到来，在这些困难时期为酒店业提供所需的额外帮助是极其重要的。
