Brew series
Alfa Laval beer 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 Brew series, 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).
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
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.
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.
ProCarb inline carbonation
maximize product recovery, while securing the flavour and character of your beer. By adding ProCarb inline carbonation to your centrifuge, you get clarified beer with high-quality carbonation – at a fraction of the time traditionally required.
Alfa Laval ConditionAlert™
The new Alfa Laval ConditionAlert gives you an eagle eye’s view of your brewery separator’s performance at all times. ConditionAlert proactively monitors separator condition and sends immediate alerts if actions are needed. Combined with Alfa Laval’s expert analysis, you have the vital information you need to ensure outstanding performance for your separator throughout its long lifetime.
Plug-and-play with complete associated system
The advanced technology of the Brew series goes far beyond the beer centrifuge itself. To make sure you get the best performance, Alfa Laval can deliver the entire system scope, complete with everything you need to ensure reliable and efficient separation. This includes automation solutions as well as all piping, valves and other relevant process components.
