Atlas Copco joins the Independent Brewers Association (IBA)

Craft beer is booming, and independent breweries are at the heart of this movement. While passion, creativity and quality ingredients are essential, so too is the technology behind the brew. Two invisible yet indispendable elements - compressed air and nitrogen - play a vital role at every stage. 

• Compressed air powers aeration during fermentation, drives pneumatic systems, and ensures clean, dry lines in packaging. To protect beer quality, we offer oil-free compressors and ISO 8573-1 compliant filtration, ensuring air purity for food and beverage applications. 
• Nitrogen is the unsung hero of purity and preservation. It purges tanks, transfers beers without oxidation, extends shelf lifem and reduces reliance on costly CO₂ deliveries. With on-site nitrogen generation (99.5%-99.999% purity), brewers gain reliability, control and cost savings.

Independent breweries face rising energy and operating costs. That's why we design systems that save energy and support long-term growth.

• Variable Speed Drive (VSD) compressors can cut energy use by up to 60% compare to fixed-speed models. 
• On-site nitrogen generation reduces emissions by eliminating transport and cylinder deliveries. 
• Heat recovery allows waste compressor heat to be repurposed as process heat.
• Smart monitoring delivers real-time system insights, helping brewers avoid downtime and focus on making great beer. 

Whether you're just starting out or scaling up, the right compressed air and gas solutions are key to brewing success. We provide a complete package for breweries. This includes compressors, dryers, filters, nitrogen generators, chillers, and process filtration. All these tools help protect beer quality and improve operations. 

By joining the IBA as an Associate Member, we proudly support independent Australian brewers. We provide solutions that improve their performance and sustainability. This helps them stay competitive in a fast-growing market.
