The present invention relates to apparatus for removing an identification disc from one end of an aluminium keg and thereafter transferring the latter to other apparatus (not the subject of the present invention) which will remove a bung from the side of the keg. The apparatus includes a selectively rotatable cradle which carries the keg, drive rollers for rotating the cradle about its central longitudinal axis; a cup for sensing and removing the disc; and means engagable with the other end of the keg to actuate the drive rollers or to rotate the cradle.
