Alfa Laval TopStream™ / Bactofuge®

Alfa Laval TopStream™ / Bactofuge® technology is a method for continuous solids discharge when processing products with high solids content. It delivers higher separation output while preserving the quality of discharged solids for later reuse. The technology provides continuous solids output as a high-concentration phase, with less or no intermittent discharge, critical in food processing for products such as yeast, fruit pulp, and dairy. In fruit juice production, TopStream ensures stable process performance while delivering a dry pulp stream that can be reused. In the pharma industry, gentle solids handling keeps cell lysis to a minimum.
