In the world of low- and no-alcohol beverages, innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a necessity. After BevZero’s recent WINnovation award, spotlighting game-changing achievements in wine technology, it’s time we take you deeper into the system that’s redefining alcohol removal: ClearAlc.

Exclusively distributed by BevZero and engineered and manufactured by Tomsa Destil, ClearAlc is the next generation of dealcoholization equipment. It brings a blend of precision, sustainability, and versatility unique to the beverage world — and it’s earning attention for good reason.

Let’s open the hood on ClearAlc and explore what makes this technology not only unique but award-worthy.

What Is ClearAlc?

At its core, ClearAlc is a patented vacuum distillation system that removes alcohol from wine, cider, and spirits using a single-pass, high-efficiency process. But this isn’t just about pulling out ethanol — ClearAlc offers producers control over multiple product fractions, aroma preservation, and energy savings.

With model sizes ranging from 800 L/h to 3000 L/h, it scales from boutique producers to high-volume brands, delivering precise results every time.

Built for Excellence

ClearAlc is the result of 170+ years of engineering know-how from Tomsa Destil. Each unit undergoes lab-scale dealcoholization tests to verify performance before full deployment.

BevZero’s team of beverage scientists, engineers, and enologists ensures each installation integrates seamlessly with existing production workflows. Whether you’re just entering the NA space or expanding operations, ClearAlc is built to grow with you.

Stream Separation: A Hidden Advantage You Can Use

Unlike many systems that extract alcohol and discard the rest, ClearAlc provides valuable liquid streams that can be used creatively in your production process:

💧Precision Fractionation

ClearAlc separates the dealcoholized product into multiple core fractions:

• Volatile Aromas (fraction 1 & 2): Volatile compounds are the essence of the original product. These delicate molecules are quickly captured and condensed for later reintroduction into the beverage, ensuring that the drink’s original aromatic profile is not lost during alcohol removal.
• Heavy Aromas A & B (fraction 3 & 4): Heavier compounds that may include flavor carriers; some producers reintroduce this portion to enhance mouthfeel.
• Spirits 92% ABV: The clean alcohol stream — highly rectified (up to 92% ABV) and suitable for reuse, flavor blending, or even resale.
• Dealcoholized Product: The now dealcoholized base wine is cooled and blended with its recovered aromas as desired.

This fractional control opens doors. Whether you want to capture key aromas for reintroduction, utilize ethanol for other products, or analyze your flavor profile more deeply, ClearAlc makes it possible.

🧪 Aroma Recovery for Authentic Taste

Through BevZero’s expertise in aroma fractionation, ClearAlc preserves and optionally reintegrates volatile aromatic compounds — so your product doesn’t just taste similar to the original… it is the original, just with less alcohol.

This is especially critical in the competitive world of premium non-alcoholic wines and spirits, where aroma is everything.

Low Temperature, High Impact

Many dealcoholization processes use high heat that can strip flavor and damage product quality. ClearAlc does the opposite. Thanks to high vacuum operation, ClearAlc reduces the boiling point of alcohol, allowing evaporation at significantly lower temperatures.

🔥 Why Low Temperature Matters

• Preserves fragile aroma/flavor compounds that would otherwise be lost
• Reduces thermal stress on the liquid, preserving structure and mouthfeel
• Minimizes oxidation and degradation, especially important for delicate white wines or aromatized spirits

This is a game-changer for producers seeking to compete at the top end of the alcohol-free market — because flavor fidelity isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Designed for Sustainability — Built for Growth

In today’s beverage industry, sustainability isn’t a trend; it’s a requirement. ClearAlc was built with this in mind:

• ✅ Minimal water use – Water is only required for vacuum pump purging.
• ✅ High energy efficiency – Optimal heat exchanger and optional heat pump reduce operational costs.
• ✅ Lower product losses – Get more yield per liter with less waste.
• ✅ Compact, skid-mounted design – Saves space and simplifies installation.

Pair that with remote data acquisition and automated control systems, and ClearAlc becomes more than a machine — it becomes a platform for innovation.
