Reduce dissolved oxygen, preserve flavour and stability; with advanced Alfa Laval deaeration technology.
In alcoholic and fermented beverage production, oxygen is one of the most damaging factors for flavour stability and shelf life. Even small concentrations can cause:
- Oxidation leading to off-flavours and aroma loss.
- Â Colour fading and instability in delicate beverages.
- Microbial growth and shorter shelf life.
- Uneven quality across production runs.
- High COâ‚‚ or nitrogen consumption from inefficient systems.
Traditional deaeration methods often require manual control and lack real-time accuracy, making it hard to balance oxygen removal, gas usage, and product integrity.
Our Solution:
- 4B Automation & 4B Systems supplies and integrates Alfa Laval Deaeration Modules, engineered for efficient oxygen removal in beer, wine, cider, and ready-to-drink beverages.
- Using technologies such as Aldoxâ„¢ and Alrox vacuum deaeration, these systems achieve extremely low dissolved-oxygen levels through vacuum and stripping gas methods under gentle, low-temperature conditions.
- Each module is fully automated with recipe-based control, real-time monitoring, and remote diagnostics for continuous performance tracking.
- Combined with 4B’s local engineering expertise, automation integration, and Alfa Laval’s proven design, you gain a sustainable, scalable solution that protects beverage quality and minimises CO₂ or nitrogen consumption.
