Used Alfa Laval BTPX 205 SGD-34CDP-50 Disc Stack Centrifuge – 9,631 RPM

Description

Used Alfa Laval Model BTPX 205 SGD-34CDP-50 automatic desludging disc stack centrifuge with 316 stainless steel product contact surfaces. Features an approximately 14" diameter bowl, maximum bowl speed of 9,631 RPM and maximum centrifugal force of 12,800 x G. Designed for separating suspended solids from compatible liquid process streams, with solids discharge and centripetal pump discharge for clarified liquid. Driven by a 6.5 kW AC motor rated at 2,900 RPM, 380/660 volts, 3-phase, 50 Hz. Includes a control panel equipped with a Siemens SIMATIC C7 HMI and Siemens PLC. Mounted on a stainless steel platform and previously used in a university technical research and development laboratory. Possible uses include pilot-scale clarification and cell or cell-debris separation, subject to application requirements and material compatibility. Serial number 4036735.

Product Details

Potential Applications

• Pilot plant liquid/solids separation studies.
• Process development trials involving suspended solids removal.
• Cell and cell-debris separation.
• Clarification trials for compatible fermentation and cell culture process streams.

Application suitability depends on feed characteristics, separation targets, required throughput and the installed equipment configuration.

What Products Would This Be Used For?

Potential feed materials, subject to application review, include:

• Fermentation broths containing cells or suspended biological solids.
• Mammalian cell culture suspensions.
• Process liquids containing cell debris.
• Protein-containing process streams requiring removal of cells or suspended solids.
• Compatible aqueous suspensions used in pilot plant and research trials.

These examples describe potential separation duties. They do not establish sterile processing capability, pharmaceutical qualification or suitability for a particular biological product.
