Centec GMBH and Solos - by Prodalim, to sign a Cooperation Agreement 

Centec and  Solos by  Prodalim have agreed to cooperate on the construction of modules for aroma recovery from a vacuum rectification plant based on a regenerable resin bed according to the patented process of FlavoLogic a subsidiary of Prodalim. These modules are to be used in particular in dealcoholization plants of the "DeAlcoTec" type from Centec GmbH to further optimize the taste of the end product. The agreed cooperation includes collaboration in the planning, project execution, delivery, installation and commissioning for the dealcoholization of fermented products such as wine, cider, beer, and spirits.

The world is experiencing a dramatic growth in demand for high-quality alcohol-free products. The main challenge of the industry is the loss of aroma during the process. The combination of the great know-how and experience of Centec in building alcohol removal equipment, and the advanced patented aroma recovery technology of Solos, brings full premium quality solutions to the industry. 

Since 1987, the Prodalim group, consisting of five global companies, has been distributing a wide range of products and solutions for the juice and beverage industry. From meticulously processed raw materials such as fruit extracts, juice concentrates, and purees to versatile services including sourcing, blending, and product development, Prodalim offers comprehensive support at every step of the manufacturing process for its customers.

Founded in 1976, the Centec group operates worldwide and specializes in high-precision measurement technology, fully automated process systems, and complex turnkey projects, particularly for applications in the brewing, wine, food, and pharmaceutical industries. Among other things, Centec has decades of specific expertise in the dealcoholization of fermented products using the "DeAlcoTec" vacuum rectification system developed in-house, as well as all processes in addition to dealcoholization, such as product conditioning and aroma dosing, carbonation, alcohol storage, flash pasteurization, CIP systems, and media supply as well as refrigeration systems.

With the contractually agreed cooperation, the project partners are jointly pursuing the goal of having Centec build the improved aroma recovery method patented by FlavoLogic and integrating it into new and existing "DeAlcoTec" plants as an optional module. Furthermore, Prodalim service centres equipped with "DeAlcoTec"/FlavoLogic technology are to be created worldwide as a result of this collaboration, which will enable dealcoholization on a contract basis for local customers.
