SCHULZ Wizard

In a time when awareness of responsible alcohol consumption and the variety of non-alcoholic beverages is steadily growing, SCHULZ has decided to develop an own system that allows smaller and medium-sized breweries to produce high-quality non-alcoholic beer. The innovative approach: Parallel to the hot holding section of a conventional flash pasteurizer, the SCHULZ Wizard enables vacuum-based alcohol evaporation at low heat load. Furthermore, the plant is equipped with a tank that serves as a buffer tank in flash pasteurization operation and as a stacking tank for degassed water to adjust the desired original gravity of the beer. The basic configuration of the SCHULZ Wizard is equipped with a degassing and evaporator unit at a throughput of 10 hl/h and can, with the addition of a second evaporator unit, halve the circulation time or double the batch size.

Facts:

• Batchwise dealcoholization of beer in a recirculation process
• Flash pasteurization of beer between two tanks or directly to the filler
• Carbonation & blending unit
• Fully automated operation
• Approx. 12 hours until alcoholreduction below 0.5% alcohol of one tank
• Possible modular expansion for improving throughput time or increasing batch size
• All-rounder for small and medium-sized breweries
