Beer and beverage concentration
Les solutions de concentration de bière et boissons éliminent l'eau de la bière, du vin et du cidre après la fermentation. L'utilisation d'un procédé d'osmose inverse à haute pression et basse température produit un concentré de haute qualité. La réhydratation permet au produit de garder son goût, son arôme et sa teneur en alcool. La logistique de livraison est simplifiée et l'impact environnemental lié à la distribution est réduit au maximum.
Réduisez vos coûts logistiques et améliorez votre impact environnemental avec de la bière et des concentrés de boissons de haute qualité
- Réduction des coûts de transport grâce à des volumes d'expédition réduits de concentrés de bière et de boissons
- Baisse des coûts de la chaîne d'approvisionnement grâce à la réduction des volumes à emballer, stocker et transporter
- Besoins de stockage réduits aux points de vente, tels que les bars et les restaurants
- Après réhydratation du concentré, la bière a le même goût, le même arôme et la même teneur en alcool que le produit original.
Concentrez vos boissons grâce aux systèmes complets de concentration de bière et de boissons d'Alfa Laval. Ces solutions compactes, fiables et économes en énergie permettent d'accroître l'efficacité de la production, du transport, du stockage et la distribution de bière pression dans les installations de conditionnement en vrac et aux points de vente. Elles permettent une productivité et un rendement plus élevés, des coûts d'investissement moindres et une distribution plus durable.
Réduisez les coûts de transport en vrac d'environ 80 % tout en réduisant l'empreinte carbone de votre chaîne d'approvisionnement grâce aux systèmes de concentration de bière et de boissons Alfa Laval.
Sensory example: freshly reconstituted
Comparison of fresh beer and reconstituted Revos beer concentrate
Procedure
- Fresh reconstituted lager was subjected to detailed descriptive sensory panel testing
- Scores were averaged over a large group of panellists
Results
Sensory panel tests reveal minimal to no differences between the control (fresh beer) and the trial (reconstituted beer)
Continuous concentration process, hygienic design
The Alfa Laval beer and beverage concentration systems feature proprietary filters with an ultra-tight membrane pore structure that allows water to pass easily through while retaining the alcohol, aromas, proteins and sugars in the concentrate. The membrane filters withstand high pressures – enabling higher concentration factors – and eliminate dead zones during Cleaning-in-Place (CIP). This translates into more uptime and higher standards of hygienic design with full membrane cleanability.
Space-saving, energy-saving systems
Choosing Alfa Laval’s reverse osmosis concentration technology results in a space-saving system with significantly lower capital costs and lower energy requirements than other technologies, such as freeze concentration or forward osmosis technologies. Moreover, Alfa Laval beer and beverage concentration systems do not require feed degassing, thereby preventing flavour loss.
Higher throughput, lower costs
Parameter optimization for each beverage maximizes throughput and significantly reduces product losses while retaining the product’s flavour profile.
Alfa Laval Revos applications
Bulk transport
Save €5–15 per hl on tanker transport
Re-draft system
Re-draft cellar: Allow bars to serve beer or other beverages from kegs of concentrate
Re-draft mobile: Provide a compact serving solution for seasonal venues
How the beer concentration system works
This innovative beer technology cuts transport-related carbon emissions by up to 80% and enables expansion into new markets without building additional facilities. One keg of beer concentrate can replace up to five standard kegs, reducing steel, water, and energy use while simplifying logistics.

Pilot testing and rentals of beer concentration systems
Validate what Revos can do
Take the guesswork out of scaling beer production. Send 850 litres of your beer to the Alfa Laval Revos Innovation Centre in Copenhagen for a controlled lab trial. We’ll concentrate it without altering your recipe, and quality will be independently verified by VLB Berlin (on demand).
Prefer on-site testing? Rent a beer concentration system (6hl/hour inlet capacity) at your own brewery to evaluate performance under real operating conditions. The result? Proven taste, reliable economics, and a clear business case for rollout.
