Industrial Brew

Alfa Laval Industrial Brew centrifuges have a long history of enabling breweries around the world to achieve higher yields, meet shifts in demand and maintain profitability. Used in pre-clarification, green beer separation, hot wort separation and beer recovery, they ensure minimal levels of oxygen pick-up during passage through the separator and the highest standards of hygiene.

Experience the benefits of the Industrial Brew range, high-efficiency beer separation technology:

  • Centrifugation provides breweries with swift beer clarification with no loss of aroma
  • Enhanced beer quality – longer shelf life, improved haze stability, and preserved aroma and flavour
  • High-efficiency beer separation enables quicker tank turnover
  • Reduced product loss – beer centrifugation boosts yield by 5–10% compared to traditional gravity settling
  • Hermetic Design™ ensures close to zero oxygen pick-up, guaranteed to be below 3 ppb

Clarification through separation helps increase the stability of the final beer. Turbidity measurement system and bowl speed adjustment functionality allow to achieve solids free crystal-clear beers as well as hazy beers.

Innovative features of Brew series beer separators

Hermetic Design™ 

Built with Alfa Laval’s patented Hermetic Design™ concept, the brew series range guarantees extremely smooth and gentle handling, with no risk of air-liquid interface in the bowl. The precise control of product consistency and quality, along with increased flexibility to process different kinds of beer, will bring whole new opportunities into your production. Thanks to the Hermetic Design™, your energy savings can be as high as 60%, and when combined with eMotion™, the savings can reach up to 75% (compared to traditional separation technologies).

eMotion™ 

Alfa Laval eMotion™ is a unique energy-saving module, available as an add-on for many of Alfa Laval’s separators. By creating a near-vacuum around the separator bowl, eMotion™ reduces air friction to improve energy efficiency. There are additional benefits of eMotion™, such as reduced noise levels, lower cooling requirements, and improved cleanability.

UniDisc™ 

The Alfa Laval UniDisc™ boosts separation capacity by up to 15% with a hygienic, easy-to-clean design. Its built-in spacers allow more discs per stack, increasing surface area and enhancing performance or flow capacity

Optiwia™: Why is it Important?

Alfa Laval Optiwia™ helps brewers save up to 70% on water use in their clarifying separators. By reusing water for cooling, it reduces costs, improves efficiency, and supports sustainable brewing. Upgrade to Optiwia for a smarter, greener brewing process.
