Beer and beverage concentration
As soluções da Alfa Laval para concentração de cerveja e bebidas removem a água da cerveja, do vinho e da sidra após a fermentação. O uso de um processo de osmose reversa de alta pressão e baixa temperatura produz um concentrado de alta qualidade. O concentrado de bebida, uma vez reidratado para venda posterior, tem o mesmo sabor, aroma e teor de álcool do produto original. Uma cadeia de suprimentos baseada em concentrado reduz os custos de embalagem e transporte. Simplifica a logística de entrega e reduz o impacto ambiental da distribuição
Reduza seus custos de logística e melhore seu perfil de sustentabilidade com concentrados de cerveja e bebidas de alta qualidade
- Custos de transporte reduzidos devido aos volumes de transporte reduzidos com concentrados de cerveja e bebidas
- Custos gerais da cadeia de suprimentos mais baixos devido aos volumes reduzidos de cerveja e bebidas concentradas para embalar, armazenar e transportar
- Requisitos reduzidos de armazenamento no ponto de venda, como bares e restaurantes
- Após a reidratação do concentrado, a cerveja tem o mesmo sabor, aroma e teor de álcool do produto original
Obtenha soluções completas para suas necessidades de concentração de bebidas com os sistemas de concentração de cerveja e bebidas da Alfa Laval. Essas soluções compactas, confiáveis e com baixo consumo de energia aumentam a eficiência de produção, transporte, armazenamento e distribuição nas instalações de embalagem a granel e no ponto de venda. Isso se traduz em maior produtividade e rendimento, custos de capital mais baixos e distribuição mais sustentável.
Reduza os custos de transporte a granel em cerca de 65% enquanto reduz a pegada de carbono de sua cadeia de suprimentos com os sistemas de concentração de cerveja e bebidas da Alfa Laval.
Sensory example: freshly reconstituted
Comparison of fresh beer and reconstituted Revos beer concentrate
Procedure
- Fresh reconstituted lager was subjected to detailed descriptive sensory panel testing
- Scores were averaged over a large group of panellists
Results
Sensory panel tests reveal minimal to no differences between the control (fresh beer) and the trial (reconstituted beer)
Continuous concentration process, hygienic design
The Alfa Laval beer and beverage concentration systems feature proprietary filters with an ultra-tight membrane pore structure that allows water to pass easily through while retaining the alcohol, aromas, proteins and sugars in the concentrate. The membrane filters withstand high pressures – enabling higher concentration factors – and eliminate dead zones during Cleaning-in-Place (CIP). This translates into more uptime and higher standards of hygienic design with full membrane cleanability.
Space-saving, energy-saving systems
Choosing Alfa Laval’s reverse osmosis concentration technology results in a space-saving system with significantly lower capital costs and lower energy requirements than other technologies, such as freeze concentration or forward osmosis technologies. Moreover, Alfa Laval beer and beverage concentration systems do not require feed degassing, thereby preventing flavour loss.
Higher throughput, lower costs
Parameter optimization for each beverage maximizes throughput and significantly reduces product losses while retaining the product’s flavour profile.
Alfa Laval Revos applications
Bulk transport
Save €5–15 per hl on tanker transport
Re-draft system
Re-draft cellar: Allow bars to serve beer or other beverages from kegs of concentrate
Re-draft mobile: Provide a compact serving solution for seasonal venues
How it works
Alfa Laval beer and beverage concentration systems use a high-pressure, low-temperature reverse osmosis process. Operating at pressures above 120 bar (1,700 psi) achieves a higher concentration factor, thereby reducing shipping volumes and costs.
To achieve a high-quality concentrate, the product flows through a proprietary membrane filter. The membrane allows water to pass through it, due to pore size and polarity, but prevents the passage of proteins, sugars, aromas and alcohol. Water flows through the membrane, while the pressurized beverage becomes more concentrated as it flows along the membrane.

Pilot testing and rentals of beer and beverage concentration systems
Put the Alfa Laval Revos concentration system to the test. Send eight kegs of your beer or beverage to one of Alfa Laval’s two testing sites (either in the US or Denmark) and take part in an onsite testing and performance review.
You could also rent and test a commercial-scale unit to determine concentrate throughput and product quality on your site.
