How Does Dealcoholization Work?

Dealcoholization Equipment Input

The input is the original beverage or FB preferably after filtration (but not required).

Dealcoholization Equipment Other Inputs

Other inputs are H2O and CO2. The Equalizer skid is equipped with an RO water system, used for the clear beverage output

Dealcoholization Equipment Output 1

Output 1 is a clear beverage (hard seltzer base), at the same ABV as the input, stripped of color, aroma and most flavor.

Dealcoholization Equipment Output 2

Output 2 is a NA beverage, with most of the flavor, color and aromas of the input, ready to be finished.

Our dealcoholization systems are designed with precision and the craft beverage maker in mind, allowing operators to seamlessly convert beer, wine, cider, or other fermented beverages into 2 distinct products:

    1. A clear fermented base – Sets the stage for crafting trendy hard seltzers without losing the essence of your original recipe.
    2. Produces a non-alcoholic – retain every bit of the flavor, color, and aromas your followers have come to love.

Cutting-Edge Solutions

  • Designed to process beverages in a multitude of configurations.

  • Durable and made of industrial grade stainless steel

  • Contains a plug and play skid which minimizes floor space and allows you to place the equipment in the most user friendly locations in the facility.

  • Uses traditional CIP between runs, allowing you to use on-hand cleaning solutions. This makes the machine more cost efficient.

  • For the EQ1100 series, we recommend that input beverages are kept between ABV 3.5% and 15.0%.

  • Inline carbonation is available as an option, allowing the machine to run from kegs into kegs. This gives you a ready-to-serve product from either output.

Reliable, Robust and Precise Performance

• The Equalizer (EQ1100) is capable of processing your beverages at rates up to 1.2bbl/h. The Equalizer series also offers custom throughput models. Contact us directly for details.

• The EQ1100 has a cloud-based operating system which enables the equipment to run unattended, even overnight, which maximizes your annual production and saves labor costs.

• Your crafted input beverage will be filtered into two outputs: One being a crystal clear filtrate (hard seltzer base) that maintains the original ABV of the input beverage. The second output is your non-alcoholic beverage that retains colors, flavors and aromas of your original input beverage at 0.5% ABV, or less.

• No additional permitting or licensing required to operate the Equalizer filtration equipment in the US per the TTB. This feature opens up opportunities for beverage manufacturers of all sizes to utilize the Equalizer technology.
