Centrifugal separators

Introducing a centrifugal separator in your brewing process brings benefits such as:

  • Higher production capacity without having to expand fermenting capacity. 
  • Clarifying beer when the flavor profile is just right.
  • Reduce losses by up to 15% by separating out beer from the tank bottoms instead of draining it away.

Alfa Laval offers these plug-and-play separation modules. 

All units feature large spaces for solids handling (IPA friendly). No need for deaerated water or CO2 to keep O2 levels low.

Let's meet

We understand that each brewery is unique. That is why we don’t offer any one-sizefits-all, out-of-the-box solutions. Before making any suggestions we always listen carefully to your requirements, goals and ambitions – and preferably have a taste or two of your beers.

We would gladly discuss the possibilities in your brewery and speak to you in person. Please contact us at craft@alfalaval.com ,
