Alcoholic Processing; Dealcoholisation: low-temperature, flavour-protecting alcohol removal and oxygen management for premium low- and no-alcohol beverages; engineered for efficiency, repeatability, and fast integration.
4B Automation & 4B Systems helps breweries, wineries, cider makers, and RTD producers expand into low and non-alcohol portfolios without sacrificing what makes their beverages great. Dealcoholisation is demanding: remove alcohol too aggressively and aroma, mouthfeel, and flavour can be reduced; run inefficiently and energy costs rise while yields fall. Many plants also struggle with oxygen pickup during or after alcohol removal, leading to oxidation, colour drift, and shorter shelf life.
Our dealcoholisation solutions deliver gentle, low-temperature alcohol reduction with stable ABV control while preserving the beverage’s sensory profile. Fully automated, modular systems integrate into existing lines with minimal downtime. Real-time monitoring tracks temperatures, pressures, vapour/condensate performance, and product ABV to keep every run consistent and repeatable.
We also supply oxygen-control modules that reduce dissolved oxygen to ultra-low levels under vacuum and stripping-gas conditions, protecting aroma, stabilising colour, and extending shelf life. Locally engineered, installed, and supported in South Africa, our dealcoholisation systems are built for fast commissioning, scalable capacity, low operating cost, and long-term uptime; helping you grow into the low-/no-alcohol market while keeping your brand’s flavour signature intact.
