Membrane dealcoholization unit for beer
Enhance your brewery’s capabilities by efficiently removing alcohol while preserving flavor and aroma, making it ideal for crafting non-alcoholic and low-alcohol beers.
Removes Alcohol from Beer and Retains Flavor
The GEA AromaPlus Membrane Dealcoholization Unit offers a state-of-the-art solution for breweries aiming to produce non-alcoholic beers without compromising on flavor integrity. Utilizing reverse osmosis, this system gently removes alcohol while preserving essential ingredients critical to the aroma and taste. Designed for both batch and continuous operations, it can process up to 50 hL/h or more, adapting easily to various capacity needs. With its modular, skid-mounted design, the unit integrates seamlessly into existing production lines and offers semi-automatic operation via advanced control technology. The inclusion of a Clean-in-Place (CIP) system ensures efficient maintenance, minimizing downtime and contamination risk. This versatile unit is ideal for crafting a range of non-alcoholic and low-alcohol beverages, from pilsners to wheat beers, and supports breweries of all sizes with flexible investment options and operational scalability.
