BevZero enhances its dealcoholization capabilities with the new ClearAlc 300 l/h demonstration unit at its Spain facility

VILLATOBAS, 4-Mar-2025 — /EPR FOOD & BEVERAGE NEWS/ — BevZero, a recognized global leader in beverage services and equipment, has recently received a cutting-edge ClearAlc Dealcoholization demonstration unit, manufactured by Tomsa Destil, at its Spanish facility. This new addition, designed with a processing capacity of 300 liters per hour, mirrors the performance of larger commercial units currently available for sale. The unit is set to become fully operational by the end of February 2025 and will be available for customer demonstrations soon after.

The ClearAlc technology represents a major breakthrough in dealcoholization processes. Through an innovative, energy-efficient single-pass vacuum distillation process, ClearAlc effectively removes alcohol from beverages such as wine, cider, and spirits, all while maintaining their authentic flavor profiles. This advanced method ensures the production of the highest quality non-alcoholic beverages, with minimal alteration to the original taste.

Notable features of the ClearAlc system include:

  • Advanced Temperature and Vacuum Control: The system’s precise regulation of temperature and an advanced vacuum setup ensure that the delicate flavor and aroma compounds in beverages are optimally preserved during the dealcoholization process.
  • Energy Efficiency: ClearAlc’s design prioritizes sustainability, offering exceptional energy efficiency while minimizing water usage.
  • Flexible Product Separation: The system offers versatility by dealcoholizing beverages to as low as 0.05% ABV, with the added capability of alcohol rectification up to 92% ABV. Additionally, it can separate aromatic compounds from the heads, hearts, and tails during distillation.
  • High-Quality Manufacturing: Crafted from premium materials, the unit adheres to the highest standards of quality and durability, ensuring both longevity and compliance with industry regulations.
  • Customizable Turnkey Solutions: ClearAlc’s flexible equipment solutions can be tailored to meet the specific needs of beverage producers, whether they are building a new production line or expanding an existing facility.

Tomsa Destil, a leading company based in Spain, brings over 170 years of expertise in alcohol technology to the ClearAlc project. Their experience guarantees that the unit exceeds industry benchmarks for quality and efficiency.

The installation of this new ClearAlc demonstration unit at BevZero’s Spanish facility highlights the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation within the rapidly expanding non-alcoholic beverage sector. By enhancing its dealcoholization offerings, BevZero is positioning itself to better serve the growing demand for premium, alcohol-free beverages from producers around the world.

Redefining The Modern Wine Experience

Josh McFadden, the 31 yr. old Creative Director and Founder of Proof Wine Collective (a creative company dedicated to developing small-production, critically-acclaimed wineries) has big plans for a space of his own. The self-taught entrepreneur has spent over ten years mastering the ins and outs of the wine industry: working harvest, sommelier at restaurants, wine buyer, wine shop clerk, cellar rat, cook, server, and wine label designer… He’s been there!

After 4 years of building Proof from the ground up, Josh is ready to catapult himself into the next big project. Turncoat Wine Co. will be a wine bar located in the center of the rapidly growing wine region that is the Central Coast of California. Not only will it be a wine bar, the 4000 sq. ft. space will also offer a full service restaurant, wine shop, lesson room for tastings, and also act as an event location. Turncoat will create a much larger wine presence in the small downtown of San Luis Obispo, and put the area on the map as a top destination for lovers of wine, art and food. It is set to open its doors in early 2013.

The space will be a “living gallery”, as Josh describes it. “Imagine the most interesting party you’ve ever been to: you are meeting fascinating people, including awesome winemakers, offering you wines you’ve never seen, you are being offered food from the season you’ve never tasted, and you have at your disposal over 500 wines from wineries located everywhere in the world. The place will be a display of sensations, and the play between all of them: an interpretation-gasm.”

Needless to say, Josh is intent that Turncoat will be a work of art in itself. His repertoire includes labels on display at the SF MOMA, Trader Joes, as well as for many of the top wine producers of Paso Robles and Santa Barbara like Herman Story, Sans Liege, Field Recordings, Alta Maria, and Force of Nature.

“The winemakers I’ve worked with, just like myself, don’t come from money or privilege.” Josh brings up. “We’ve had to make our own way and we couldn’t have made it this far without the support from our friends.”

In preparation for Turncoat, Proof Wine Collective has put together a compelling campaign to raise money and awareness on the crowd-funding site Kickstarter.com. They’re trying to raise $25,000 by Dec. 3rd in order to help fund some of the initial start up costs of the wine bar. Rewards for support vary from graphic t-shirts, fine art prints, and custom art pieces inspired by yourself. “One print we made is called Wine Pangea which is my attempt to simplify and beautify the world of wine; and the other is called Presidential Drugs of Choice it’s a print detailing every drug/vice done by each President,” explained Josh.  Both the prints reflect Proof’s unique creative style which reappropriates vintage engravings with colors, elegant typography, and new information.

Proof Wine Collective was founded in 2008 in order to create a world where curious and creative spirits may fall in love with wine. Visit their website atwww.proofwinecollective.com.
