Requirements
CVH Spirits needed an efficient, sustainable solution to heat spirits for bottling without using fossil fuels.
Solution
CERTUSS provided the E200MX electric steam generator, delivering fast, reliable performance while supporting their net zero emission goals.
Neil McCready, engineering team leader at CVH Spirits about working with CERTUSS
"I would recommend it for the quickness on which we can get up to seven bar operating pressure... within 10 minutes, we're up at 7 bar working pressure, ready to go."
"Also the fact it's electric, means we're not using any fossil fuels whereas the previous gas boiler. We are keen to get away from that and get to the net zero carbon emissions"
"Specific feature of this that we like is the automatic programming function… where we can have it coming on at set times and going off at set times"
"The steam generator, with its speed and accuracy of getting to pressure and temperature quickly, reduces the length of time the bottling could be potentially down for."
About CVH Spirits
CVH Spirits (formerly Distell International) was established through partnership, knowledge, expertise, and the success of its distell founder, Remgro—a visionary organisation that invests in companies positioned for success.
Created in 1997, CVH has spent the last 25 years as a pioneering investment company and was one of the original ‘owner’ companies involved in the 2010 merger of Stellenbosch Farmer Winery and Distillers Corp. With changes in the ownership of the Distell Group, a number of opportunities have arisen for the business, its people, and the wider industry. CVH Spirits remains a forward-thinking, stable organisation focused on the premium spirits sector.
Their ambition for growth demands vision, resilience, and exceptional talent. Their people are both their legacy and their future — a remarkable group with a shared goal of lifting spirits and creating connections. CVH is part of this legacy and represents something truly special, embodying values they firmly believe in.
