Continuous, reliable beer clarification and yeast recovery; maximising yield and consistency for breweries of every scale.
In brewing, clarity, yield, and consistency are critical to quality and efficiency. However, many breweries still face challenges such as:
- Excess yeast and solids affecting clarity and flavour.
- Filter blockages or short filter life reducing throughput.
- Batch settling steps slowing production and increasing losses.
- Product waste from poor solids-liquid separation.
- High cleaning frequency and downtime due to fouling.
Without effective separation, breweries struggle to maintain consistent quality, reduce waste, and optimise performance across different beer types.
Our Solution:
- 4B Automation & 4B Systems delivers Beer Decanter Centrifuge Systems using Alfa Laval’s Foodec and Brew Series technology, designed specifically for brewing applications.
- These centrifuges perform continuous solid–liquid separation, clarifying beer, recovering yeast, and reducing losses; while maintaining product quality and efficiency.
- Each system is fully automated, modular, and locally supported, featuring real-time monitoring and recipe management.
- With Alfa Laval’s advanced separation design (including PondCtrl™ and PowerTubes), combined with 4B Automation & 4B Systems’ engineering, integration, and service expertise, breweries gain dependable clarity, yield improvement, and lower total cost of ownership.
