Breweries can improve reproducibility through automated process control for separation, yeast handling, carbonation, and blending. This helps ensure consistent quality, flavour, clarity, and alcohol content across batches while providing the flexibility to adapt processes for seasonal and specialty beers. Sanitary brew centrifuges and plate heat exchangers support consistency by removing solids without filtration or oxygen pickup, improving yield and helping preserve the character of beers ranging from clear lagers to hazy IPAs.
High hop, ingredient-rich, and specialty beers require precise control of solids, haze, and oxygen. Our engineered solutions help breweries manage hop extraction, mixing, contact time, and beer recovery, enabling consistent quality, higher yield, and efficiency.
Breweries can accelerate production by reducing clarification and maturation time. Sanitary craft brew centrifuges help accelerate the transition from fermentation to finished beer while freeing up tank capacity, and inline carbonation supports faster production with consistent quality.
Breweries can expand their product portfolio with de-alcoholization technologies that enable the production of low-alcohol, no-alcohol, and other fermented beverages while preserving flavour, aroma, and mouthfeel. We offer membrane filtration and stripping-based solutions, helping breweries efficiently enter and scale in the growing low- and no-alcohol market.
Consistent yeast management, clarification, and hygienic processing help breweries maintain flavour stability, product quality, and shelf life. Our solutions support reliable brewing through efficient clarification, yeast management, and hygienic processing, helping breweries achieve consistent flavour, improved shelf life, reduced product loss, and high-quality results batch after batch.
Breweries gain flexibility through process solutions that support different beer styles and production goals. Our portfolio includes centrifuges for gentle beer clarification, yeast management systems for consistent fermentation, dry hopping solutions for controlled hop extraction, inline carbonation for precise carbonation, and de-alcoholization technologies for low- and no-alcohol beverages. Together, these solutions help breweries innovate faster while maintaining quality, consistency, and production efficiency across a wide range of products.
Breweries can reduce energy use through heat recovery and energy-efficient process technologies. Key opportunities include wort boiling, cooling, separation, and de-alcoholization.
For example, heat recovery from wort vapour pre-heats the next batch, reducing steam consumption by up to 10%, and high-efficiency plate heat exchangers recover up to 90% of available thermal energy, achieving energy consumption below 0.4 kWh/hl.
