Greater efficiency increases profitability

Brewery separators
Alfa Laval has supplied high-quality separators to the brewing industry for decades. Alfa Laval brewery separators have proved crucial in enabling breweries around the world to achieve higher yields from greater efficiency, and in helping them meet changing demand patterns while maintaining profitability. Brewery separators from Alfa Laval ensure minimal levels of oxygen pick-up during passage through the separator, which is a major quality requirement for brewers. Hygiene issues are also a prime focus in all aspects of the design of these brewery separators. The table below shows the maximum capacities of the different units in the Alfa Laval brewery separator range, for different applications. The figures in the table are indications only. The final achievable capacity depends on the concentration of the solids.
