Brew 20 - for more profitable batches
Investing in a beer separator is the smartest way to get more out of your fermentation time without buying additional tanks. You can greatly increase yield, saving more of the beer you already brew, as well as boost your capacity with faster tank turnover. At the end of the day, that means more pints in customer hands – and more profit for you.
See an example of a real craft brewery which started using our beer centrifuge and managed to increase yield by at least 8%!

Questions about using a centrifuge in your brewery?
Many craft brewers assume that centrifuges are too costly or offer little benefit for their operation. But modular systems optimized for small breweries require only a small investment compared to conventional tank settling. They also provide faster solids separation without the same high product losses of filtration systems, with better retention of aromatics and volatiles. The result is long-term savings and superior beer quality.
