Beer sterile filtration system for large breweries
In large breweries, achieving complete removal of bacteria without compromising the flavour or quality of beer is a significant challenge. Traditional methods can result in thermal degradation and product losses, necessitating advanced filtration technologies to ensure product integrity and maximum safety.
Ensure 100% bacteria retention with no thermal degradation
The Alfa Laval Beer Sterile Filtration (BSF) module is designed for large breweries needing robust, fully automated beer filtration. It uses Sartorius filtration cartridges to achieve complete bacteria retention without thermal degradation, preserving beer flavour. The system incorporates pre and sterile filtration steps, enhancing productivity and reducing oxygen pick-up. With automated control, it ensures optimal process conditions and minimal product losses. The solution is also space-efficient, eliminating the need for a buffer tank. It provides exceptional Clean-In-Place (CIP) capability, ensuring regular and efficient cleaning of pre-filtration and sterile filtration cartridges using standard caustic solutions, along with hot water sterilization. This ensures maximum uptime and reliability.
