For years now, a diverse range of beverage products containing alcohol has fueled continuous growth in the segment. “Ready-to-drink” products (RTDs) include beer and cider as well as other beverages containing alcohol mixed with sodas, fruit juices or other non-alcoholic drinks. In South Africa, RTDs are in high demand. The Distell Group is one of Africa’s leading producers of spirits, premium wines, ciders and other RTDs. This case study describes the conversion of the production at the Distell Springs facility from a batch process to an in-line process which is controlled by measurement of the concentration in degrees Brix.
