Beer Production: Centrifugal Separators

Clarify beer efficiently and gently; preserving aroma, flavour, and carbonation with hygienic Alfa Laval separation technology.

In modern brewing, achieving stable clarity and flavour retention is essential for consistency and shelf life. Many breweries still face issues such as:

Suspended yeast and haze reducing clarity and stability
Filter clogging, slower throughput, and higher filter aid costs.
Oxygen pickup during separation that affects flavour and carbonation.
Energy waste and inconsistent operation in older separators.
Increased maintenance due to fouling and wear in non-hygienic designs.

Without efficient, low-oxygen separation, brewers risk inconsistent product quality, higher losses, and increased operating costs.

Our Solution:

4B Automation & 4B Systems supplies and integrates Alfa Laval Brew Series Centrifugal Separators, designed specifically for beer clarification, recovery, and polishing.
These high-speed separators feature hermetic, bottom-fed designs that minimise oxygen exposure and preserve aroma and CO₂ content; essential for quality and stability.
Equipped with UniDisc™ technology for enhanced separation surface area and eMotion™ modules for reduced power use, these systems deliver outstanding yield, energy efficiency, and throughput.
Fully automated, modular, and locally supported, they integrate seamlessly into brewery operations with real-time monitoring, recipe management, and predictive maintenance.
With Alfa Laval’s proven design and 4B Automation & 4B Systems’ integration and service expertise, you achieve cleaner beer, higher yield, and dependable performance across all beer types.
