Beer clarification system for brewpubs and small breweries
Optimize your brewing process by minimizing product loss and enhancing batch yield with a compact centrifuge solution designed to streamline the clarity of your beers, enabling faster production cycles and consistent quality without compromising taste.

Clarifies and Separates Beer for Consistent Quality
The GEA Brewpub Separator Skid is a robust centrifuge package unit designed specifically for the unique requirements of microbreweries and brewpubs. Specializing in beer clarification, it employs centrifugal force to enhance yield by 5-10% and ensures batch consistency without the need for extended settling times. The unit’s working principle involves efficiently separating yeast and other solids, thereby reducing the risk of yeast autolysis and shortening brewing cycles.
This separator skid is versatile, suitable for a range of beer types including Pale Ale, IPA, Stout, and more. Capable of high-speed manual operation, it supports batch processing for small to medium-scale production needs. Its compact design allows it to fit seamlessly into existing production lines, making it easy to integrate without significant modifications.
With a maintenance-free hydrohermetic seal, it minimizes oxygen pick-up, preserving beer quality, while the patented GEA hydry® ejection system ensures the effective removal of concentrated solids. The skid includes a free first spare part kit, emphasizing minimal downtime and ease of maintenance. Built from durable materials, it offers long service life and large service intervals, which are crucial for maintaining operational efficiency in dynamic brewing environments.
Featuring GEA’s renowned expertise embedded within its design, the Brewpub Separator Skid is an effective solution for those looking to improve their brewing process with reliable and efficient equipment.
