Brew series
Alfa Laval beer centrifuges and separators have a history of enabling breweries to achieve higher yields, meet shifts in demand and maintain profitability. Whether you make crystal clear lager or hazy IPA, our centrifuges protect your beer's character and quality while boosting production efficiency. Used in pre-clarification, green beer separation, hot wort separation and beer recovery, they ensure minimal oxygen pick-up during passage through the separator and the highest hygiene standards.
High beer separation efficiency combined with energy efficient operation
- Centrifugation provides breweries with swift beer clarification with no loss of aroma
- Increased clarification capacity: reduced fouling of filters with preclarification
- High efficiency beer separation enables quicker turnover of fermentation tanks
- Reduced product losses: beer centrifugation results in more concentrated solids compared to gravity settling
- Patented beer brewing equipment and hermetic design leads to low to zero oxygen pick up
Clarification through separation helps increase the stability of the final beer. Our beer brewing equipment ensures gentle product handling through the utilization of a unique hermetic design. Turbidity measurement system and bowl speed adjustment functionality allows Brew series to achieve solids-free, crystal clear beers as well as hazy beers.

Get more beer from every batch, faster
With a beer centrifuge, you get up to 10% more beer from every batch, compared to traditional sedimentation. And you move faster from fermentation to finished product, boosting your capacity without having to invest in new tanks.
Adding the integrated ProCarb inline carbonation option cuts production times even more, while securing high and consistent quality. Making sure every pint is a delight to your customers.
An investment that pays off
Increased yield and accelerated tank turnover enable you to recover your investment in as little as a year, depending on the setup and size of your brewery. Making the centrifuge a truly smart investment.
The payback graph shows how one brewery recovered their investment in just 9 months after installing a Brew 80 centrifuge:
- Yearly production: 3500 hl
- Suggested flow rate: 10 – 50 hl/h
- Beer sales: € 3 per litre
- Payback period: 0,75 years
