WHAT IS COLOR CODING?
The market-leading spear from Micro Matic comes with a unique color and year coding for preventive maintenance.
Color-coding of the spears enables camera-controlled or mechanical separation of kegs that are due for routine, scheduled maintenance which Micro Matic recommends at approximately 7-8 year cycles.
In 2019 the color-code was yellow; in 2020 it is Rose Pink, and in 2021 it will be Violet. (Note that there will be a 3-4 month transition period each year from one color to the next).
Below you can find the color markings for the coming years:
2015 Blue (RAL: 5010)
2016 Red (RAL: 3020)
2017 Green (RAL: 6032)
2018 Brown (RAL: 8001)
2019 Yellow (RAL: 1016)
2020 Rose Pink (RAL: 3015)
2021 Violet (RAL: 4005)
2022 Light Blue (RAL: 5024)
2023 Magenta (RAL: 4010)
2024 Light Green (RAL: 6019)
2025 Blue (RAL: 5017)

the details that
make the difference
Innovation unique to Micro Matic Keg Spears:
- Color-coding of the spears for manual or camera-enabled mechanical separation of kegs that are due for routine, scheduled maintenance which Micro Matic recommends at approximately 7-8 year cycles. In 2019 the color-code was yellow; in 2020 it is Rose Pink, and in 2021 it will be Violet. (Note that there will be a 3-4 month transition period each year from one color to the next).
- Safety pressure-release feature of spears allows the controlled deformation of the CO2 gasket without dangerous ejection of valve parts.
- Retainer disc redesign for enhanced cleanability and sanitation eliminating internal flat metal-on-metal parts interface.
