Alfa Laval disc stack centrifuges have a long history of enabling breweries around the world to achieve higher yields, meet shifts in demand and maintain profitability. Used in pre-clarification, green beer separation, hot wort separation and beer recovery, they ensure minimal levels of oxygen pick up during passage through the separator and the highest standards of hygiene.
High beer separation efficiency combined with energy efficient operation
- Centrifugation provides breweries with swift beer clarification with no loss of aroma or CO2
- 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 utilisation of a unique hermetic feed design. Turbidity measurement system and bowl speed adjustment functionality allows to achieve solids free crystal clear beers as well as hazy beers.
Brew range
Our beer centrifuges have proved crucial in enabling breweries around the world to achieve higher yields and greater efficiency. They ensure minimal levels of oxygen pick-up during passage through the separator, which is a major quality requirement for brewers. Hygiene is also a prime focus of the design of our brewery centrifuges.

Happy customers
Boston Beer Company
One of the first things we installed was an Alfa Laval Brew separator. Alfa Laval was also willing to take on much of the project management. They successfully managed the full process and were there for us throughout with technical support.
David Grinnell, Vice President of Brewery Operations, The Boston Beer Company, USA
Harpoon Brewery
The Iso-Mix system provides us with a fast, consistent way of adjusting CO2 content and gravity as well as making other additions that ensure less manual labour and reduced risk of delays in our packaging operations.
Al Marzi, Vice President and Chief Brewing Officer, Harpoon Brewery, USA
Amager Bryghus
With just one compact Brew 80 unit, you can allow yourself to be more creative. Now it’s only your imagination that is the limiting factor in terms of experimenting with flavours. This equipment has proved to be more versatile than we had imagined, and it gives a great boost to our creative, unconventional approach to brewing, and products that really get noticed in a crowded market.
Morten Valentin Lundsbak, Founder, Amager Bryghus, Copenhagen, Denmark
Rebellion Beer Company
I believe that craft brewing on a relatively small scale as we do, is still a traditional art creating distinctive characterful beers using the time-honoured brewing methods but coupled with elements of modern technology, such as the Brew 80.
