There are many challenges to measuring/testing alcohol proof and measuring Proof of Obscuration in flavored spirits. Alcohol producers have all the demands of manufacturing a constant product with the added burden of making a product that must comply with government measurement and labeling guidelines. In most countries, the production of alcohol is highly regulated and tax reporting must be accurate. Government-prescribed measurement methods can be very slow as well as require laboratory skills to produce an accurate measurement. Rudolph addresses the need for alcohol producers to make fast, accurate measurements at various stages during the production process. Rudolph also addresses government requirements, by providing certified instruments that will keep your production facility in full compliance.
The Problem – Efficiency, Regulation, and Taxes
Alcohol manufacturers operate in a competitive world. They must keep costs under control and keep production operating efficiently to ensure profitability. However, manufacturers must report correct % ABV values and must do this to the satisfaction of the local government authority. Many governments require testing methods such as distillation for Proof Obscuration Measurements, which are very slow and can significantly disrupt production.
