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

Manufacturer

Alfa Laval is a global leader in separation, heat transfer, and fluid handling technologies. Its Aldec series decanter centrifuges are engineered for continuous solid-liquid separation in wastewater treatment, food processing, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, mining, and other industrial applications requiring high-performance dewatering and clarification.

Description

The Unused Alfa Laval Aldec 45 Solid Bowl Decanter Centrifuge is a continuous-duty separation system designed for efficient dewatering, clarification, and solids recovery in demanding industrial and sanitary processing environments. Manufactured in 2021 and never used in production, this centrifuge provides like-new performance while eliminating the lead time associated with ordering new equipment.

The machine features AISI 316 stainless steel product contact areas for excellent corrosion resistance and long service life. A maximum bowl speed of 4,200 RPM provides the centrifugal force necessary for efficient separation of solids from liquids across a broad range of applications.

Designed for durability, the centrifuge incorporates a 360-degree single row of cake discharge ports protected with tungsten carbide wear liners, helping minimize wear in abrasive service. Additional features include liquid plate dams, a stainless steel casing, a 2.5 kN gearbox with back drive, and an approximately 55 kW (82.5 HP) main drive motor operating on 400 Volt, 3 Phase, 50 Hz power.

Mounted on a rigid frame with four support legs, the unit is supplied with a control panel, providing a complete separation package ready for installation into industrial processing operations.
