ALFA LAVAL

Alfa Laval provides a range of standardized heat treatment equipment to eliminate or reduce the number of live microorganisms in a product, thereby improving microbiological stability and increasing shelf life. The various process design configurations of the heat treatment equipment mean that the pre-engineered plate heat exchanger-based pasteurizing modules can be easily customized to different requirements and plugged into a system for a quick operational start-up.

Alfa Laval beer centrifuges and separators 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.

The Alfa Laval Yeast Cooler is a pre-assembled module that offers breweries a compact, easily retrofittable unit that provides the gentle and rapid cooling that is essential to making top quality beers. The yeast cooling system is fully compliant with food industry regulations. This means that all components of the system in contact with process liquids are made of stainless steel with heat resistant seals.

Yeast propagation plant Alfa Laval Yeast Propagation Plant is engineered for yeast propagation under sterile conditions within the brewing industry to renew the yeast supply. The flexible design of the yeast propagation plant enables the propagation of different yeast strains as needed. The single (or multi) vessel plant requires initial inoculation with laboratory-propagated yeast culture (using the Alfa Laval SB Carlsberg Flask).

Dynapitch is a brewery process module for accurate, continuous and automatic pitching of yeast.

The Carlsberg Flask is constructed as a cylindric container with flat bottom, suitable for placing on a gas burner or electric hotplate. The flask is closed with a top cover equipped as follows:
