Plastic shives are a highly engineered component within the cask conditioning and dispensing process. Designed to form a secure, reliable seal within the cask shive bush, they play a critical role in maintaining product integrity from filling through to tapping.
Our plastic shives are manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure consistent fitment and dependable sealing performance. This helps maintain carbonation, protect the beer from contamination, and ensure that every cask performs exactly as intended throughout the distribution and serving process.
We supply plastic shives in the most commonly used industry sizes, compatible with traditional wooden, aluminium, stainless steel, and plastic casks. As many breweries continue to operate with a variety of legacy and modern cask types, we ensure our shives are suitable for the different bush dimensions still in circulation today.
Produced using high-quality food-grade materials, our shives are designed for durability, reliability, and ease of use during filling, storage, and dispense.
Whether you are operating a traditional cask ale brewery or working with modern cask systems, we can help ensure you receive the correct shive for your specific cask type and bush size.
