Quick answer: the configurable Mektar dispenser is a made‑to‑order solution for serving wine, beer, cider, juices, cocktails and sparkling drinks on tap. It allows the unit to be adapted to the container, temperature, number of lines, type of service and technology required for each business.
The configurable Mektar dispenser is a professional solution for businesses that want to serve drinks on tap with a technical and aesthetic configuration tailored to their project. It can be designed for wine, beer, cider, juices, cocktails, still drinks, chilled drinks and sparkling or carbonated drinks, working with formats such as Bag in Box, kegs, KeyKeg, tanks, vessels or wine demijohns, depending on the variant and final system design.
At Install Beer we approach it as a technical, made‑to‑order product: first we analyse the drink, the container, the flow rate, the serving temperature, the available space and the real use of the unit. Then we select the most suitable Mektar variant and define the number of taps or lines, the dispensing technology, the cooling system, the pushing system and the finishes.
Configurable Mektar dispenser for wine, beer and sparkling drinks
Mektar makes it possible to create dispensing solutions for different types of business, from a visible bar in a restaurant or wine bar to multiproduct systems for wine shops, wineries or small beverage producers. The main advantage is its flexibility: a single solution can be adapted to still, chilled or carbonated drinks, with different technologies per line and multiple supply formats.
This product is offered with 4 main variants: under‑counter dispenser, countertop dispenser, multiproduct dispenser and factory system. Each variant requires a prior technical configuration to confirm compatibility, dimensions, performance, number of lines and required accessories.
Under‑counter dispenser
Counter-type solution for restaurants, wine bars, gourmet shops, and tasting spaces. It is a visually attractive option for serving by the glass, jug, bottle, or wine dama, with the possibility of working with Bag in Box, kegs, KeyKeg, or tanks depending on the configuration.
Countertop dispenser
Countertop unit for pubs, restaurants, catering and wine bars. Recommended when you want a visible, compact and functional system for direct service at the bar of wine, beer, juices, cocktails or sparkling drinks.
Multiproduct dispenser
System aimed at wine shops, wineries, specialist stores and businesses that need several drink lines. It allows you to combine different technologies per line to work with still, chilled or carbonated products.
Factory system
Technical solution for wineries, breweries and beverage producers that need dispensing, carbonation, filling or preparation processes for sparkling drinks. Designed for production or bottling projects with higher technical demands.

Fizz Technology for sparkling drinks
One of Mektar’s distinctive options is Fizz Technology, designed to work with still drinks and turn them into sparkling drinks during service or the technical process, depending on the chosen variant. This technology can be especially interesting for lightly sparkling wine, cider, cocktails, juices, fermented drinks and other carbonated beverage projects.
Final compatibility must always be checked with the actual product, container, temperature, expected flow rate and type of service.
