Reverse osmosis concentration system for beer and beverages
Optimize transport and storage of beverages by reducing volume with advanced reverse osmosis technology, achieving concentrated products with retained taste, aroma, and alcohol content for seamless rehydration at serving points.
Concentrates Alcoholic Beverages via Reverse Osmosis
The Alfa Laval Revos™ concentration system is a cutting-edge solution for breweries, wineries, and beverage manufacturers seeking efficient concentration of alcoholic beverages. This advanced system utilizes a high-pressure, low-temperature reverse osmosis process to effectively remove water while retaining up to 22% alcohol by volume. The two-pass design ensures that aromas, proteins, and minerals remain intact in the concentrate, preserving the original sensory qualities when rehydrated. Ideal for applications in beer, wine, and cider production, the Revos system reduces shipping volumes by up to 80%, cutting transportation costs and optimizing distribution logistics.
With the ability to integrate seamlessly into existing production lines, the Revos system is designed for continuous, high-pressure operation, maintaining product integrity through a chilled membrane filtration process. Energy-efficient and economical, it offers significant savings in transportation costs by allowing rehydration at final destinations such as bars or restaurants. Its compact design saves valuable floor space, making it an excellent choice for establishments looking to maximize efficiency and minimize waste. Alfa Laval also offers pilot testing and rentals to ensure that the system meets specific operational requirements, with engineering support available for tailored solutions.
