Programmable carbonation for active beverages.
Xero infuses natural flavor and functional actives—caffeine, vitamins, electrolytes—directly into the CO₂ gas stream during carbonation. No syrups. No artificial dyes. Pure infused refreshment.
Traditional beverage manufacturing is trapped in the syrup era.
For decades, adding flavor meant mixing sticky liquid concentrates into still water before or during carbonation—dragging along unnecessary chemistry:
Syrup & Concentrate Lock-in
Traditional carbonated beverages rely on viscous liquid syrups that require heavy preservatives, stabilizers, and high sugar loads.
Sticky Equipment Contamination
Liquid flavor concentrate coats internal lines and nozzles, leading to sticky residue, cross-flavor contamination, and frequent flushing.
Rigid Formulation Constraints
Adding active ingredients—like vitamins, caffeine, or minerals—forces complex emulsion chemistry that destabilizes shelf life.
Gas-Phase Infusion: How Xero Re-engineers Carbonation
Instead of pouring syrup into water, Xero utilizes the physical transport properties of expanding CO₂ gas to carry micro-encapsulated actives.
01
CO₂ Gas Stream Input
High-purity carbon dioxide gas flows through Xero's micro-metered pressure regulator chamber.
02
Vaporization & Active Infusion
Natural aromatics and active botanical compounds are micro-vaporized directly into the gas stream.
03
Gas-Phase Transport
Flavor molecules ride the CO₂ bubbles during high-velocity carbonation, bypassing liquid concentrates completely.
04
Homogeneous Sparkling Pour
As bubbles rise, flavor and functional compounds release evenly throughout every single sip with zero settling.
The Xero Tech Advantage
Four fundamental architectural breakthroughs that separate Xero from traditional beverage platforms.
100% Zero-Syrup Contamination
SanitaryBecause flavors travel exclusively inside gas lines, liquid contact parts stay completely pure and residue-free.
Precision Bioactive Dosing
FunctionalAccurately meter bioactives—such as caffeine, L-theanine, electrolytes, and B-vitamins—per pour with 99.8% precision.
Instant SKU & Flavor Switching
FlexibleSwitch from natural sparkling citrus to functional energy in milliseconds without line flushes or flavor cross-over.
Scalable Architecture
UniversalCore gas-phase infusion engine scales seamlessly from compact countertop platforms to high-volume commercial lines.

Founder-built & bench-tested.
We built hardware prototypes to prove the core mechanism: flavor and functional active ingredients can ride the CO₂ gas stream directly into a drink.
Proven Gas-Phase Flavoring
Confirmed that micro-flavor compounds successfully ride carbonation gas into the drink without liquid pre-mixing or base syrups.
Active Compound Integration
Successfully tested with natural extracts, caffeine, and electrolytes for clean functional beverage delivery.
Zero Line Contamination
Eliminates sticky syrup residue and line flushes by keeping liquid contact surfaces completely pure.
