At Namibia Breweries, precise control of alcohol content and extract values is essential for profitability and product consistency. With Anton Paar’s Flex-Blend 7600, the brewery can blend beer accurately to 4 % ABV while optimizing original gravity, apparent extract, and CO₂ levels. Automated operation, flexible parameters, and reliable performance have improved efficiency, reduced reprocessing, and increased output.
“The Flex-Blend 7600 has enabled us to blend precisely to 4 % alcohol, which saves us money and significantly improves our overall efficiency.”

Accurate blending for consistent beer quality
The Flex-Blend 7600 enables Namibia Breweries to blend beer precisely to 4 % alcohol – something previously not achievable. In addition to alcohol control, the system allows blending based on original gravity and apparent extract, directly supporting quality consistency and cost savings.
Automation that maximizes working time
Thanks to reliable automation, brewers no longer need to stand at the blender or perform manual adjustments. Recipes do not require frequent changes, resulting in more accurate blending and allowing staff to focus on other production tasks.
Flexible parameters for a diverse portfolio
With multiple blending modes and beer ID selection, the Flex-Blend 7600 supports both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beers. This flexibility allows the brewery to efficiently switch between products and adapt to new beer styles and market trends.
Reliable integration and long-term support
Despite complex integration with the existing SCADA system, commissioning was completed successfully without downtime. Minimal maintenance requirements and extended technical support ensure stable operation and long-term reliability, strengthening Namibia Breweries’ competitive position as the first Flex-Blend user in Africa.
