Consistent, efficient carbonation for craft breweries; gentle CO₂ dosing that preserves flavour, quality, and efficiency.
Carbonation consistency is one of the most critical factors in beer quality. Yet, many craft breweries still depend on manual or semi-automated CO₂ injection methods that lead to:
- Under or over-carbonation, causing foam or flat beer.
- High CO₂ waste and gas consumption.
- Inconsistent mouthfeel, aroma, and head retention.
- Difficult adjustments between beer styles or batches.
These challenges increase production costs and quality variation. To deliver reliable, flavour-stable results, brewers need an automated, hygienic, and space-efficient inline carbonation solution.
Our Solution:
- 4B Automation & 4B Systems provides Inline Carbonation & CO₂ Dosing Units that deliver consistent carbonation, energy efficiency, and easy operation for craft-scale breweries.
- Using Alfa Laval’s Carboset™, Carboset Mini™, and Carboblend™ technologies, these compact, skid-mounted modules inject CO₂ directly into the beer stream, using static mixing or acceleration zones for complete dissolution without foam or waste.
- Fully automated and recipe-driven, these systems ensure accurate CO₂ control, smooth flavour profiles, and reliable quality across every brew. Integrated with remote diagnostics, real-time monitoring, and local support from 4B Automation & 4B Systems, they provide brewers with dependable performance, low gas consumption, and quick changeovers between beer types.
