Our picture shows IC Filling Systems' Sales Director Marco Solferini beside our Microblock 661 manufactured for JZT Ferments in the Czech Republic https://jztferments.cz/

JZT is named after the three founders: Jirka, Zdenda, and Tom. They were childhood friends who first encountered kombucha during their student days in North America. After returning home they found that – like many others in parts of the world where kombucha is not well known – they searched in vain for something similar.

It started in the kitchen

Jirka started making kombucha in his kitchen. Everyone loved the taste. Soon, the three friends decided to start a company and prepare kombucha on a large scale. They were able to research the information they needed to produce at scale from YouTube videos and Googling online resources. They also teamed with other Czech kombucha brewers to discuss marketing and retail strategies. It took them a year to find a suitable building in Prague to house their brewery.

Now they are in a position to increase their production capacity with the Microblock 661. This machine is capable of rinsing, filling and capping 1,500 bottles per hour, to ensure that more of their kombucha is available in health food stores, restaurants, and cafes in Prague, as well as direct from their online shop.

What is kombucha?

Kombucha is fermented tea! It has been around in one form or another for nearly 2,000 years. First brewed in China, it then spread to Japan and Russia. In the early 20th century, it became popular in Europe — following World War One, soldiers brought it back from Russia to Germany, Poland, and elsewhere.

It is a healthy and refreshing beverage full of B vitamins, organic acids, antioxidants, and trace amounts of alcohol.

How is kombucha made?

To make kombucha, starter liquid and a “kombucha mother,” or “kombucha mushroom,” also known as SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) is added to sweetened tea. After a fermentation period lasting 10-30 days or more, the liquid becomes increasingly tart. The sugar and tea are the primary food sources for the bacteria and yeast in the fermentation process.

IC Filling Systems is delighted to announce the shipment of our latest Rinser/Gravity Filler/ROPP Screw Capper from our manufacturing facility in Incisa Scapaccino, Italy.

This cutting-edge triblock machine is on its way to Original Spirit Co, a family-run distillery in Victoria, Australia. It is set to become a pivotal component of their production line, helping to scale their operations and enhance product quality.

Enhancing Bottling Efficiency and Quality

Designed with precision to meet the rigorous demands of craft beverage production, this advanced triblock machine will revolutionise the bottling process for Original Spirit Co. The distillery, known for its diverse range of flavoured gins, will benefit significantly from the machine's capabilities. With an impressive bottling rate of 800 bottles per hour (bph) for 700ml glass bottles, this equipment ensures that each bottle is filled efficiently and sealed with an aluminium Roll On Pilfer Proof (ROPP) screw cap. This process not only secures product integrity but also preserves the freshness of the spirits.

Meeting the Needs of a Growing Business

Mrs. Barbara Richartz, Director of Original Spirit Co, approached IC Filling Systems with a clear objective: to transition from their current manual bottling setup to a more automated and efficient system. The goal was to reduce labor costs while simultaneously boosting production capacity, all without compromising the superior quality of their gins. Through in-depth consultations and meticulous assessments, our team identified and proposed a bespoke solution that aligns perfectly with their operational needs.

A Significant Upgrade from Manual Operations

The deployment of this new bottling system marks a substantial upgrade from Original Spirit Co's previous manual processes. By automating the bottling line, the distillery will experience a significant increase in production speed and product consistency. This enhancement not only improves the overall finish of their bottled products but also streamlines the entire bottling process. As a result, the team at Original Spirit Co can dedicate more time and resources to refining their craft and less to handling the complexities of bottling logistics.

Committed to Innovative Solutions

At IC Filling Systems, our commitment lies in delivering innovative and customised bottling solutions tailored to our clients' unique requirements. We are proud to play a role in Original Spirit Co’s growth journey and are eager to witness the positive impact of our triblock machine on their production line.
