Used Alfa Laval BRPX-309 Desludger Disc Stack Clarifier Centrifuge

Description

Used Alfa Laval Model BRPX-309 automatic desludging disc stack clarifier centrifuge with stainless steel product contact surfaces. Configured for liquid/solids separation, the rotating disc stack provides separation surfaces for removing suspended solids from a single liquid phase. Separated solids collect at the bowl periphery for discharge, while clarified liquid exits through a centripetal pump. Equipped with an approximately 20 HP (15 kW) drive motor rated for 230/460 volts, 3-phase, 60 Hz electrical service. Possible applications include clarification of compatible aqueous process liquids, fermentation broths, yeast-containing suspensions and liquid extracts, subject to feed characteristics, material compatibility and separation requirements.

Product Details

Potential Applications

• Clarification of compatible liquid process streams.
• Removal of suspended solids from aqueous process liquids.
• Separation of yeast or other suspended biological solids from compatible liquids.
• Clarification of liquid extracts containing residual solid particles.

What Products Would This Be Used For?

Potential feed materials include:

• Aqueous process liquids containing suspended solids.
• Fermentation broths requiring solids removal.
• Yeast-containing process suspensions.
• Liquid extracts containing suspended extraction residues.

These are possible applications rather than confirmed processing history. Suitability depends on liquid chemistry, viscosity, solids concentration, particle characteristics, temperature and required throughput. Food or pharmaceutical use requires additional review of materials, cleaning requirements and equipment configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What type of centrifuge is the Alfa Laval BRPX-309?
  This unit is an automatic desludging disc stack centrifuge configured as a liquid/solids clarifier.

• Does this configuration separate two liquid phases?
  The supplied configuration is intended to remove solids from a single liquid phase. Liquid/liquid separation capability has not been established for this unit.

• How does clarified liquid leave the centrifuge?
  Clarified liquid discharges through a centripetal pump.

• What material contacts the product?
  The product contact surfaces are listed as stainless steel. The specific stainless steel grade requires verification.

• What motor is installed?
  The listed drive motor is approximately 20 HP (15 kW).

• What electrical service does the motor require?
  The motor is rated for 230/460 volts, 3-phase, 60 Hz. Confirm its installed wiring and the complete system’s utility requirements before installation.

• Can this centrifuge process fermentation broth or yeast suspensions?
  These are potential applications, subject to review of solids characteristics, viscosity, material compatibility, throughput and separation targets.

• What is the processing capacity?
  A verified throughput rating is unavailable. Capacity must be evaluated for the intended feed and required clarification performance.

• Does automatic desludging mean continuous sludge discharge?
  Automatic desludging does not establish continuous sludge discharge. Confirm the solids-ejection sequence and operating requirements for this unit.

• What information is needed for a freight quotation?
  Request confirmed shipping dimensions, weight, pickup location and loading requirements for stock 10151391.

• How can Aaron help evaluate this centrifuge for my application?
  Contact Aaron with your feed composition, solids concentration, process temperature, required throughput and separation target to discuss the equipment and available documentation.
