Alfa Laval Brew 80 Plus

Disc stack separation system for brewery applications

Introduction
The use of separators in different brewery applications goes
back to the beginning of the 1900’s. Based on the long-term
cooperation with the brewery industry, Alfa Laval separators
are specially designed for the requirements and demands of
this industry.

Application
The Brew 80 Plus is designed and optimized for green-beer,
beer pre-clarificarion and polishing, with the target to clarify
beer with the best performance and yield.

Benefits
• High separation efficiency
• Minimized oxygen pick-up
• Gentle treatment of the product
• Complete system handling both process and utility
requirements
• Robust and reliable design

Design
The system consists of a separator, a valve module with
valves and components for routing of product and utilities in
and out from the separator, as well as control and starter
cabinet. All components are mounted on a common skid to
enable plug-and-play installation.
• Turbidity monitor for discharge triggering
All metallic parts in contact with the process liquid are made • Main motor starter with VFD from Danfoss
of stainless steel. Gaskets and seals in contact with the • Control panel with Siemens PLC and HMI
product are made of FDA approved material and are • Sight glasses for outlet
approved according to food regulations (EC1935/2004). • Samples valves for in- and outlet

The separation system is designed for completely automated Options


Cleaning in Place (CIP). • Feed pump
• Solids receiving unit: Consists of a collection device and a
Scope of supply pump to remove discharged solids
Skid-mounted disc stack separator with valve module and • Control panel with Allen Bradley PLC and HMI
control system, including: • UL and CSA versions available on request

• Main process valves


• Automatic flow regulating valve
• Counter pressure valve
• Flow meter of magnetic type
• Capacity control: Automatic regulation of the flow, based
on measurements of the feed solid content by inlet
turbidity
Working principle Connections
Inlet DN32: DIN 11851 Union
The product enters and leaves the separator via the valve Outlet DN32: DIN 11851 Union
module. The flow rate and the counter pressure in the outlet
of the separator are controlled by the process liquid module. Material data
Piping EN 1.4404
Discharge of solids from the separator bowl is triggered by a Customer connection EN 1.4404
turbidity meter, placed in the outlet of the system. The Gaskets in system EPDM
discharged solids are pumped away by the optional solids Pipe frame EN 1.4301
