Clarify craft beer efficiently and gently; enhancing flavour, stability, and yield with modern separation technology.
Many craft breweries still depend on settling tanks or manual filtration for clarification; methods that are:
- Slow, delaying production and tank turnover.
- Wasteful, with beer lost in trub and yeast residues.
- Inconsistent, leading to variable clarity and haze.
- Susceptible to oxidation, reducing flavour stability and shelf life.
Without an efficient separation stage, brewers face higher costs, reduced yield, and inconsistent product quality; while expending valuable time and energy.
Our Solution:
- 4B Automation & 4B Systems delivers Craft Brewery Centrifugal Separator Systems designed to provide continuous, hygienic clarification at craft scale.
- Using Alfa Laval’s Brew Series separator technology, these systems offer gentle, oxygen-free separation for beer, removing yeast and fine solids while preserving aroma, flavour, and carbonation.
- Compact, skid-mounted, and fully automated, they provide consistent clarity, reduced filtration load, and faster turnaround between batches.
- Supported by real-time monitoring, recipe management, and local support from 4B Automation & 4B Systems, brewers achieve higher efficiency, quality, and yield; all within a compact footprint.
