Used Alfa Laval BRPX-417 Desludger Disc Automatic Centrifuge – 3,965 RPM

Description

Used Alfa Laval Model BRPX-417 automatic desludging disc stack clarifier centrifuge with stainless steel product contact surfaces and a bowl speed of 3,965 RPM. Configured for liquid/solids separation, the disc stack bowl separates suspended solids from compatible liquid process streams. Features centripetal pump discharge for clarified liquid and a belt drive configuration. Built/rebuilt 2008. Possible applications include clarification of compatible process liquids and aqueous suspensions containing separable solids, subject to application and material compatibility review.

Product Details

Potential Applications

• Removal of suspended solids from compatible liquid process streams.
• Clarification of aqueous process suspensions.
• Recovery of a clarified liquid fraction from compatible liquid/solids mixtures.

What Products Would This Be Used For?

Potential feed materials include:

• Water-based process liquids containing suspended solid particles.
• Aqueous suspensions requiring separation of solids from the liquid fraction.
• Liquid intermediate products containing residual process solids.

Specific product suitability requires review of liquid chemistry, viscosity, solids concentration, particle characteristics, process temperature and required throughput. Food, beverage, dairy, botanical and pharmaceutical products require additional verification of this unit’s materials, cleaning requirements and configuration before suitability can be established.
