High-efficiency clarification and separation; engineered, integrated, and locally supported by 4B Automation & 4B Systems.

Overview:

  • As the Authorised Integrator of Alfa Laval in South Africa, we supply, integrate, and support Alfa Laval’s high-speed disc-stack separators across dairy, plant-based beverages, fruit/vegetable processing, beer, wine, spirits, edible oils, bio-based chemicals, and biotech.
  • These systems deliver continuous, hygienic, low-shear separation that protects flavour and functionality while improving yield, uptime, and energy performance. From compact plug-and-play skids to fully automated, SCADA-connected modules, we tailor each solution to your feed, throughput, and quality targets.
