The SpectraAlyzer SPIRITS is a simple and efficient solution for routine analysis of key quality parameters in industrial spirits production and craft distilling.

In spirits production, the SpectraAlyzer SPIRITS performs essential quality measurements such as alcohol content, density, and total sugars within seconds. This enables close monitoring of the distillation and downstream processes by analyzing samples from any stage of the production line — without sample preparation and without the use of reagents or other consumables.

The immediate availability of precise quality data enables improved process control, resulting in higher yields and consistently high product quality. Whether monitoring the distillation or rectification process, controlling dilution and bottling, or supervising individual production batches, the SpectraAlyzer SPIRITS provides instant access to the analytical information required.

The analyzer delivers excellent linearity across a wide measurement range, including alcohol contents up to 98% vol. Even the presence of natural or added sugars does not affect measurement accuracy.

Its robust design allows flexible installation both in laboratory environments and directly within the production process. Temperature fluctuations, humidity, dust, and mechanical shock do not compromise measurement accuracy or long-term stability. Additional accessories, such as a peristaltic pump or robotic autosamplers, can be integrated to increase sample throughput to more than 60 samples per hour.

Thanks to the integrated web server, analytical values, batch protocols, and trend charts are immediately accessible within the company’s network and, if required, can be transferred directly to cloud systems or production servers for further processing and visualization.

In addition, the SpectraAlyzer SPIRITS is a highly cost-effective analysis solution. The ZEUTEC “Rent Your Lab” initiative offers attractive leasing options that can be customized to individual requirements.

One Instrument Many Applications

Distilling process

show process

Quality check before milling

Starch, dextrin, glucose, ash, protein

This ensures grains contain enough amount of starch and reducing sugars for conversion into alcohol.
Inquire for additional accessories and calibration models.

Fermentation monitoring

Ethanol, reducing sugar (glucose/dextrose, fructose, maltose)

This gives information about the amount of alcohol produced, amount of sugars still left for conversion and give estimate of the time remaining for the fermentation process to complete.
Inquire for additional accessories and calibration models.

Distillation

Alcohol measurement during distillation gives information about the extent of distillation process and how much more distillation is required to attain desired alcohol levels.

DDGS measurement

Protein, dry matter, oil, crude fibre, residual starch, ash

DDGS measurement provides nutritional composition of the distilled grains which can be used as measure of quality for its use as animal feed.
Inquire for additional accessories and calibration models.

Final product testing

Alcohol, density and total sugars measurement

Alcohol, density and total sugars measurement with the SpectraAlyzer SPIRITS ensure efficient quality control. Besides these, special parameters like methanol and fat content can be added on request.
