Carbonate with superior quality and speed

By injecting CO2 during centrifugation, ProCarb produces instant carbonation of the highest quality. Inside the centrifuge strong G-forces combine to compress and fully dissolve the gas throughout the beer. In a matter of hours, you complete two processes that traditionally take days. The result is a properly carbonated beer, producing a tight and stable foamy head when poured.

The perfect match for your brewery

The ProCarb module is available as an option with Alfa Laval’s craft beer centrifuges: Brew 20, Brew 80, and Brew 250. Contact us to get a quote on a complete, integrated clarification and carbonation system.

Craft brewers discovering the benefits of ProCarb

“The machine does a lot of the work. Yes, there is a human running that machine. We are not cutting people out of the process, but it is a more stable and easier-to-manage process. We are no longer hitting a carb stone for 24 or 12 hours like we did in the past. The ProCarb has performed as expected. We are hitting the levels we want, and we have had great success.”

 

"ProCarb has significantly improved our carbonation capabilities. When the product hits the brite tank, it has already been centrifuged, so it’s as clean as it can be. It’s also carbonated, so we don’t have to run it through a carb stone or go through that whole process in the brite tank. It’s essentially 97% ready to go. In the past, before we had the Brew 250 and ProCarb, we would keep beers in the brite tanks for 3 to 4 days. Now, it's 1 or 2 days max. By cutting a couple of days out of the process, we’re saving on labor, process time, and money."
