Achieve smooth, stable oat beverages and maximise value with separators built for yield, clarity, and gentle handling.
Oat beverage producers often face:
- Suspended oat fibres causing cloudy appearance or gritty texture.
- Product instability and sedimentation during shelf life.
- Loss of valuable solids (nutrients, fibre) due to inefficient separation.
- High energy and cleaning costs from fouling or poor separator design.
These issues lead to lower product quality and higher operational costs.
Our Solution:
As the Authorised Integrator of Alfa Laval in South Africa, we supply disc stack centrifugal separators engineered for oat-based beverage processing. These separators deliver:
- Fine solids removal for cleaner, smoother oat drinks.
- Gentle handling to preserve flavour, colour, and nutrients.
- Energy-efficient operation to reduce costs and emissions.
- Remote monitoring, hygienic design, and local service for consistent uptime.
4B Automation & 4B Systems ensures correct system sizing, line integration, and full local support to keep your oat production reliable and efficient.
Key Features / Capabilities
Wide & Adaptable Separator Portfolio:
Food & dairy-grade disc stack separators adapted for plant-based slurries, suitable across various solid-liquid duties.
Gentle Treatment (Low Shear / Hermetic Design):
Bottom-fed Hermetic Design™ reduces shear and oxygen pickup, preserving delicate oat flavours, colour, and nutritional components.
High Clarity & Solids Removal:
Removes fine fibres and particles to reduce haze and improve texture.
Hygienic Design & Cleanability:
Food-grade, CIP-capable, self-cleaning where feasible. Smooth contact parts reduce fouling and speed up cleaning.
Energy & Water Efficiency:
Incorporates Hermetic Design™, UniDisc™, and eMotion™ modules to cut power use, cooling demand, and water consumption.
Modular & Skid-Mounted Options:
Delivered as pre-assembled modules for quick installation and scaling.
Real-Time Monitoring & Automation:
Inline sensors, control systems, and remote diagnostics keep performance consistent with changing feed.
Locally Supported & Maintainable:
Servicing, and technical support available locally.
