Beverage Processing

Beer Recovery by Microfiltration Systems 

Through an Alfa Laval microfiltration system, Oettinger Brewery has been able to recover 20-25 thousand hectoliters of beer from harvested yeast and reduce CO2 emissions.

On the pulse of beverage production and innovation

Beverage processors and breweries face numerous challenges: While raw material, ingredient and production costs are increasing, you still have to deliver tasty, low-priced drinks to ever more demanding consumers. You must also comply with tightening restrictions placed on your products, and minimize the environmental impact of your production. Alfa Laval beverage processing solutions help you overcome these challenges by reducing production costs, cutting energy, water and utilities consumption as well as ensuring food safety.

Our solutions ensure reliable hygienic production as well as efficient and effective cleaning-in-place (CIP) of equipment and processing lines— fully complying with the strictest regulatory standards for hygienic applications. As important, they let you:

• Increase production yields and maintain long running times through high availability and uptime levels
• Decrease ingredient and product loss levels by getting more out of your raw materials
• Reduce consumption of utilities like water and energy — and recycle waste streams. For instance, our latest range of separators cut energy consumption by 30%; and using the right Alfa Laval pump for your specific processing parameters can reduce energy consumption by up to 50%.
