Alfa Laval Brew 20 beer centrifuge

The Alfa Laval Brew 20 is a beer centrifuge that can be used for many different purposes in the brewing process, including pre-clarification, green beer separation, hot wort separation and beer recovery.

The centrifuge is suitable for brewpubs and microbreweries, with a range of applications. Its Axial-Hermetic seal and plug-and-play skid make the device suitable for use in the beverage production industry as they are simple to operate, have low maintenance costs, and provide fast and easy installation. The Axial-Hermetic seal also minimises oxygen pick-up without increasing costs, according to the company.

The device features a clarifier designed to accommodate the smallest craft brewers, with a working capacity from 4–15 hL/h. The device provides a high production capacity for brewers without having to expand fermenting capacity, and is said to reduce losses by up to 15% by separating out beer from the tank bottoms instead of draining it away. It is claimed to facilitate increased yield and improved flavour, aroma and head retention, clarifying beer when the flavour profile is just right.
