Flavourtech

Flavourtech is an Australian industrial engineering firm and equipment manufacturer recognized as the pioneer of proprietary spinning-cone-column-scc (SCC) technology.

In the context of the beverage industry, Flavourtech’s SCC systems are utilized for low-temperature vacuum distillation, a primary method of thermal-dealcoholization. Their technology allows for the rapid, gentle extraction of volatile aroma compounds and ethanol from wine and beer. Because the SCC process operates at low temperatures and features very short residence times, it is highly effective at preserving the delicate flavor profiles necessary to achieve taste parity in non-alcoholic beverages.

Furthermore, Flavourtech’s systems enable byproduct-valorization, allowing beverage producers to capture and resell the extracted high-proof ethanol and aroma mixtures, which helps offset the massive capital expenditure (CapEx) required to install these multi-million dollar industrial units.
