The Equalizer
Dual-Stage Vacuum Separation
Introducing our patented technology that uses a low temperature, low pressure vacuum filtration, designed to create industry leading non-alcoholic beverages. Our filtration equipment maintains flavor, color and aroma of the input beverage, allowing you to create a crafted alternative beverage from your trusted recipes.
The Tech
Designed to process a beverage in a multitude of configurations.
Made of industrial grade stainless steel, the machine fits perfectly into existing beverage production environments.
Plug and play system which minimizes floor space, allowing users to efficiently position the equipment to meet production needs.
Standard CIP processing means you can clean with existing cleaning solutions at your production facility.
For the latest EQ1100 Series, the ABV of input beverages should be between 3.5% and 15.0%.
Inline carbonation is available upon request to process kegs back into kegs, giving you a ready-to-serve product from either output.
The Performance
The Equalizer (EQ1100) is capable of processing beverages at rates up to 1.2bbl/h. The Equalizer series also offers custom throughput models upon request.
The EQ1100 has a cloud-based operating system which enables the equipment to run unattended, which maximizes your annual production output and saves on labor.
Your input beverage will be filtered into two outputs: One being a clear filtrate (hard seltzer base) with the original ABV of the input beverage - with the second output being your non-alcoholic beverage which will retain color, flavor and aroma from your original input beverage - all 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.
How It Works
Starting from a vessel of beer, wine, cider or fermented beverage (FB), an operator creates two products out of one trusted recipe: The first is your clear and industry approved hard seltzer, and the second is your flavorful non-alcoholic beverage.
1. Input
The input is the original beverage or FB preferably after filtration (but not required).
2. Other Inputs
Other inputs are H2O and CO2. The Equalizer skid is equipped with an RO water system, used for the clear beverage output.
3. Output 1
A clear beverage (hard seltzer base), at the same ABV as the input, stripped of color, aroma and most flavor.
4. Output 2
An NA beverage, with most of the flavor, color and aromas of the input, ready to be finished.
