Kafijas un tējas ražošana
Visā pasaulē popularitāti iekaro kafija un tēja. Apmierinot šo arvien pieaugošo pieprasījumu pēc jauniem ērtības produktiem – tādās formās kā gatavie dzērieni, ledus maisījumi un ātri šķīstošie produkti – rodas gandrīz neskaitāmas komerciālas iespējas. Ļoti svarīga lietošanai gatavu kafijas un tējas izstrādājumu ražošanā ir šķidrumu higiēniska atdalīšana no cietām vielām, kas ir tikai viens no procesiem, kuram Alfa Laval aprīkojums ir īpaši piemērots.
