For alcoholic spirit production, we supply systems for mixing liquids and powders, fluid handling technology, and key items for installing in tanks, including cleaning equipment.
Our fluid handling, mixing and tank cleaning solutions for the wine and grape juice industry are designed to boost energy efficiency and minimise environmental impacts of all kinds.
The TJ20G Rotary Jet Head offers the best solution for cleaning wooden and stainless steel Washbacks, removing the settled-out yeast on the flat or coned bottoms of the Washback.
Target Drilled Thick-Walled Fixed Spray Balls are an ideal solution for achieving a good rinsing performance across the internal surfaces of Stills, with a 180° down option for cleaning the neck of the Still.
Discover how Alfa Laval’s innovative technologies help vintners optimise their operations while maintaining the highest standards of quality and efficiency. Learn how our solutions support both traditional craftsmanship and modern production requirements.
Tank cleaning and mixing operations in Distilling require a delicate balance between maintaining traditional processes and meeting modern efficiency standards. Our technologies help optimise every aspect of spirit production, from preserving complex flavours to ensuring thorough cleaning while respecting traditional materials and methods.
Our optimised CIP cycle programming reduces labour, chemical and water usage whilst providing maximum flexibility, scalability and reliability.
Our specialised Distillery cleaning equipment delivers validated cleaning performance while respecting traditional materials like copper and wood. From Rotary Jet Heads for Washbacks to specialised Spray Balls for Stills, we ensure optimal cleaning while maintaining spirit quality.
Our mixing solutions ensure efficient blending while maintaining product quality. These systems are specifically designed for spirit production, from mashing to final product blending, with features that respect the delicate nature of the process.
IBC Cleaning Systems provide thorough, validated cleaning of Intermediate Bulk Containers used in spirit production, ensuring consistent hygiene standards while streamlining cleaning cycles for efficient turnaround.
From Sight Glasses and Manways to specialised Valves, our Tank Accessories are engineered for the demanding conditions of spirit production. Unique Mixproof Valves ensure no cross-contamination while enabling efficient process flows.
LKH Centrifugal Pumps are designed specifically for spirit applications, with features that ensure gentle product handling and efficient CIP capability. The LKH Prime series handles both product and CIP duties, optimising your process flow while maintaining product integrity.
Our precision-engineered Tank Valves ensure reliable flow control throughout your distilling process. From routing different spirit streams to managing CIP cycles, Tank Valves combine superior cleanability with minimal product loss.
Clean stubborn residues with 3D indexed jet impact. Available in a range of specifications, the Alfa Laval TZ, SaniJet and MultiJet ranges combine pressure and flow to create a high-impact CIP solution. Rotating in a repeatable 360-degree cleaning pattern, the Rotary Jet Head range offers a highly efficient cleaning solution while minimising water usage.
Maintain full operational safety with the Alfa Laval SB Pressure Relief Valve – a hygienic safety solution that removes overpressure-creating excess liquid in a vessel. When pressure in the tank exceeds a pre-set value, the Relief Valve opens to vent fluid and air, and closes when the pressure has returned below the set point.
