Unused Alfa Laval Aldec 45 Solid Bowl Decanter Centrifuge – 316 Stainless Steel, 4,200 RPM, 55 kW Drive

Manufacturer

Alfa Laval is a global leader in separation, fluid handling, and heat transfer technologies. Alfa Laval decanter centrifuges are widely used in the wastewater, food, beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, mining, and industrial processing industries for continuous solid-liquid separation, sludge dewatering, and product recovery.

Description

The Unused Alfa Laval Aldec 45 Solid Bowl Decanter Centrifuge is a high-performance continuous separation system designed for efficient dewatering, clarification, and solids recovery. Manufactured in 2021 and never placed into production, this unit offers like-new condition without the lead times associated with new equipment.

Constructed with AISI 316 stainless steel product contact surfaces, the centrifuge provides excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for demanding sanitary and industrial applications. The machine features a maximum bowl speed of 4,200 RPM, generating high centrifugal forces for effective liquid-solid separation across a wide range of process streams.

The centrifuge is equipped with a 360-degree single row of lined cake discharge ports fitted with tungsten carbide wear liners for extended service life in abrasive applications. Additional features include liquid plate dams, a stainless steel casing, 2.5 kN gearbox with back drive, and a 55 kW (82.5 HP) main drive motor operating on 400 Volt, 3 Phase, 50 Hz electrical service.

Mounted on a heavy-duty frame with four support legs, the package includes a control panel, providing a complete separation solution for industrial processing operations.
