Re-draft system
The Alfa Laval Re-draft system is a compact, post-mix dispensing system that rehydrates beer and beverage concentrate at the point of consumption. With a draft beer dispensing system, beer and beverage manufacturers can realize significant logistics and supply chain cost savings when storing and transporting concentrates in bulk, then reconstituting them moments before serving cold draft beer and beverages at pubs and restaurants.
Reduce costs and boost your sustainability profile by serving draft beer, cider and wine from concentrate on tap
- Reduce transport costs by up to 80% due to reduced storage and shipping volumes of concentrate throughout the supply chain to the consumer
- Serve up to five times the beverage from the beer concentrate, taking up less storage space than the original product
- Free up space under the counter, yet store and dispense more beverages than a single-keg kegerator
- Improve workplace safety and reduce manual labour by eliminating frequent changeout of kegs while dispensing beer or beverage from concentrate
- Improve quality assurance – visible to consumers – with real-time monitoring of temperature, carbonation and concentration for every single pour
Alfa Laval Re-draft system is a compact, post-mix draft beer dispensing system. It reconstitutes beer and beverage concentrate that match the flavour profile of the original product at the point of sale.

Alfa Laval Re-draft system monitoring
Ratio Control/Tracking
- Responds dynamically to changes to ensure a consistent pour
- Accounts for flow variability at the start of the pour and when water flow rate or pressure changes
Quality
- Keeps beer and beverages cold at all times
- UV sterilization prevents microbial growth after chlorine removal
Touchscreen display
- Makes data about each pour and keg and CO2 volumes available to bar staff
- Provides data about cleaning, calibration and maintenance available to service professionals
Alarms
- Alerts staff to change kegs, replace CO2 or call for service
- Recognizes issues with the machine or inputs
- Helps prevent off-spec pouring
Connectivity as a service
Remote monitoring and logging ensure
- Each pour is in spec
- Cleaning on track
- Usage analytics available to the brewer or manufacturer
Key products
Alfa Laval Re-draft dispense system versus traditional draft
Protecting traditional experience
- Cleaning frequency and chemicals
- Great taste
- Pouring experience (appearance/rate/tap)
Consistent ABV, CO2 and foam level in every pour
Added benefits
- The Re-draft system lets you know pour specs/keg volume
- Self-cooling or integrated into a glycol system
- Recycle kegs/no return or cleaning
Same great taste, less volume
The Re-draft system supplies the same volume as traditionally packaged beer from a reduced-volume concentrate. Handling smaller volumes of concentrate increases workplace safety and reduces injuries. It also does away with the need to store kegs in refrigerated cold rooms onsite at the bar or venue.
How it works
Alfa Laval Re-draft system reconstitutes beer concentrate at the point of sale. It purifies and blends cold carbonated water with the concentrate, delivering a cold draft product on tap.
Pilot testing and rentals of beer concentration systems
Test the Alfa Laval Revos concentration system and Re-draft system to determine whether these systems meet your requirements. Send up to 10 hl of your product to the Alfa Laval Revos Innovation Centre in Denmark for onsite testing and performance analysis. A Re-draft system is available for demonstration and testing to rehydrate the concentrate produced.
Alternatively, you can rent a Re-draft system and conduct trials reconstituting your beer concentrate at your facility or in a commercial setting.

Curbing carbon emissions - Learn more from our white paper
How can breweries and beverage manufacturing facilities reduce their carbon footprints while making operations more efficient? Reducing direct and indirect emissions plays an important role – from purchasing raw materials, electricity and manufacturing to packaging, materials and distribution. This white paper will focus on reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filtration for beer and beverage concentration as a cost-effective way for manufacturers to reduce the carbon footprint of their supply chains.
