The two most effective and widely used technologies used in this sector are the SCC (Spinning Cone Column) and packed columns. BevZero offers both technologies to its customers.
The SCC is a vertical stainless-steel cylinder composed of alternating rotating cones that spread the wine out into a thin film, allowing rapid removal of the alcohol. The most volatile aroma compounds are extracted from the wine in a quick and gentle first pass, then the alcohol is removed in a second pass. The aroma components are then blended back into the wine.
Packed Columns, consisting of two or more vertical stainless-steel columns, are filled with packing material that provides a huge surface area, making distillation very efficient. This method is a continuous process and extracts the aromas and the dealcoholized wine in one single run. To learn more, view our ClearAlc Dealcolization Technologies web page.
