Alfa Laval beer centrifuges and separators 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.
Clarification with a centrifuge increases the stability of the finished beer. Our separation module guarantees gentle product treatment. Due to our unique hermetic design, the risk of oxygen pick-up is close to zero. A turbidity measurement and the function to adjust the drum speed, allow the production of crystal clear as well as turbid beers. The Brew 250 achieves very low power consumption and the automatic operation is simple and intuitive.

The Alfa Laval Alhop cold hopping system is a stand-alone system for brewers that speeds up and facilitates hop tamping. This brewing process is becoming increasingly popular due to the growing interest in IPA beer styles, it improves yield and provides greater flavour stability, while reducing hop addition.
This is achieved through the following modes of operation.
- Fast and efficient extraction rate thanks to dynamic movement in the system
- High product throughput without risk of clogging thanks to the cross-flow method
- Optimised quantities thanks to reduced hop addition to the tank
- Simple and automated operation of the self-contained system
After being introduced into the Alhop module, the hop pellets are dissolved in the beer and kept uniformly in the cross-flow recirculation loop. While the system is continuously supplied with beer, cold-hopped beer continuously flows to it through the specially designed filter.
Once the extraction process is complete, beer that is in the system is recovered through a diafiltration process. To recover alpha acids, the hop slurry is further washed out with degassed water, resulting in a pumpable hop suspension.

Alfa Laval solutions for beer and beverage concentration remove water from beer, wine and cider after fermentation. Using a high-pressure, low-temperature reverse-osmosis process produces a high-quality concentrate.
Operating at pressures above 120 bar (1,700 psi) achieves a higher concentration factor, thereby reducing shipping volumes and costs.
To achieve a high-quality concentrate, the product flows through a proprietary membrane filter. The membrane allows water to pass through it, due to pore size and polarity, but prevents the passage of proteins, sugars, aromas and alcohol. Water flows through the membrane, while the pressurized beverage becomes more concentrated as it flows along the membrane.
The beverage concentrate once rehydrated for onward sale has the same taste, aroma and alcohol content as the original product.
Choose one of Alfa Laval's concentration systems for beer and other beverages as an end-to-end solution for concentrating your products. These compact, reliable and energy-efficient solutions increase the efficiency of production, transport, storage and beverage/beer filling in bulk bottling plants and at the point of sale. This increases productivity and yield, reduces capital costs and makes distribution more sustainable.
Reduce transportation costs for large volumes of product by around 65% while reducing the carbon footprint of your supply chain with Alfa Laval concentration systems for beer and other beverages.

Take process hygiene and product safety to a higher level with the Alfa Laval Hygienic line. This premium range of plate heat exchangers optimizes process hygiene and energy efficiency.
Specifically developed for hygienic applications, it raises the bar on hygiene overall while reducing the carbon footprint for food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other manufacturers who demand outstanding performance and total efficiency.
These premium plate heat exchangers have been developed with a focus on hygiene and reducing the use of energy, water and cleaning media.
Optimized flow distribution and a smoother plate pattern improve heat transfer efficiency, improving energy efficiency by up to 15%. These features also contribute to lowering the pressure drop by up to 10% while enabling the heat exchanger to perform the same duty.
Using 10% less steel, on average, to produce the unit compared to previous models reduces the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions embedded in the product in a similar way. Durable and energy-efficient, these hygienic plate heat exchangers help reduce the environmental footprint of hygienic applications in food and pharma manufacturing.
