“…Statistical studies performed on other food production processes, such as bread, beer, fruit in syrup and fruit juice (Tsarouhas et al. , 2009; Tsarouhas & Arvanitoyannis, 2010a,b, 2011), have shown that the management of production processes can be significantly improved, and the processes themselves even redesigned. Unfortunately, no studies on the operation of distillation units in the spirits industry have been reported in the literature.…”

We analysed the impact of operation variability on the composition of pear spirits obtained with a Charentais alembic and a packed distillation column. Lack of reproducibility significantly affected the spirits' compositions, with batch distillation columns more difficult to operate reproducibly vs. traditional alembics. The composition of column distilled spirits differed more in esters, such as ethyl octanoate, ethyl decanoate and ethyl palmitate. In turn, alembic spirit compositions differed more in acetaldehyde and acetal. Moreover, column distilled spirits contained four times more esters, 20% more higher alcohols, 40% less acetaldehyde and 10% less methanol than alembic spirits. Spirits distilled with a rectification column were more concentrated in ethanol than alembic distilled spirits, although both distillation systems recovered the same amount of ethanol in the heart fraction.

“…In a recent study, Tsarouhas & Arvanitoyannis (2011) developed the reliability and maintainability analysis of an automated peach production line. Descriptive statistics of all the failures at machine and line level were shown, and the most critical machines under failures according to several criteria were determined.…”

Summary The scope of this study is to review reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) analysis in the food industry and aims to identify the critical points of the production systems that should be improved by the operational performance and the maintenance effectiveness. RAM is an engineering tool that addresses operations and safety issues of production lines and aims to identify areas within the system or process where significant improvement can be achieved. Food production lines consist of several machines supplied with a common transfer mechanism and control system that have different failure modes. When a random failure occurs, the failed machine stops and forces most of the line upstream of the failure to operate without processing, whereas the material (raw, intermediate or end‐product) of the line downstream may have to be scrapped because of quality deterioration during the stoppage. The negative failure impact is the drop of line reliability and production rate.

“…Similar case studies on the reliability and maintainability of strudel and cheese production lines are reported by Tsarouhas et al (2009a,b). Moreover, Tsarouhas and Arvanitoyannis (2011) carry out quantitative analysis of reliability and maintainability of an automated peach production line. Statistical failure parameters are analyzed to determine the most critical machines, and hazard rate models are calculated to predict reliability in short term.…”
