Quality is Paramount to Award-Winning Hambleton Ales

Hambleton Ales utilise the Mistral bottle drying system from Secomak.

Dealing with the high street supermarkets means the first class presentation on the shelves is of extreme importance and therefore Nick Stafford, the owner of Hambleton Ales, has a policy of zero tolerance with defects.

Similarly, providing a nationwide contract filling service for micro breweries means retaining a high degree of flexibility in production including utilising the clients own labels, and complementing the finish with a first class crown cork.

The environment in a brewery can be hostile, as the product is acidic in nature and can attack the cut edges of crown corks. Therefore all the major manufacturers of closures recommend washing and drying under crown to reduce the risk of spoiling presentation due to corrosion.

Bottle Drying Systems

Secomak helped Hambleton Ales by providing a Mistral bottle drying system which helped increase shelf life and ensured high quality presentation. Nick Stafford commented, 'The Secomak Mistral dryer is performing perfectly and backs up our commitment to our customers.'
