Used Alfa Laval OSNX 6542 Three-Phase Tricanter Centrifuge – 4,200 RPM, 82.5 HP for Wastewater Separation

Manufacturer Information

Alfa Laval

Alfa Laval manufactures industrial separation, heat-transfer, and fluid-handling equipment used across wastewater treatment, food processing, chemical, energy, environmental, and other process industries.

The Alfa Laval OSNX 6542 Tricanter Centrifuge is designed for continuous three-phase separation, allowing compatible process streams containing solids and two immiscible liquid phases to be separated within a single centrifuge system.

Description

Available for sale is a used Alfa Laval OSNX 6542 Tricanter Centrifuge, new in 2022 and previously operated in a wastewater treatment (WWT) application.

The centrifuge features stainless steel construction in the product-contact areas and has a stated maximum bowl speed of 4,200 RPM. It is powered by an approximately 55 kW (82.5 HP), 400V, 50 Hz, 3-phase main drive motor.

Unlike conventional two-phase decanter centrifuges, a tricanter configuration can be used for compatible processes requiring separation into a solids phase and two liquid phases, such as oil/water/solids separation.

The unit is frame-mounted on four legs and includes a control panel, providing a packaged configuration for integration into a compatible wastewater or industrial processing system.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a tricanter centrifuge used for? A tricanter is designed for compatible applications requiring continuous separation of a feed stream into three phases—typically solids plus two immiscible liquids, such as oil, water, and solids.
• What is the maximum bowl speed? The Alfa Laval OSNX 6542 has a stated maximum bowl speed of 4,200 RPM.
• What size motor is installed? The main drive motor is approximately 55 kW (82.5 HP) and is rated for 400V, 50 Hz, 3-phase electrical service.
• Is this centrifuge stainless steel? The supplied specifications state that the product-contact areas are stainless steel. The specific stainless alloy should be verified if material compatibility is critical.
• What was this Alfa Laval centrifuge previously used for? The machine was previously operated in a wastewater treatment (WWT) application and is dated 2022.
• Can Aaron Equipment assist with shipping and logistics? Yes. Aaron Equipment can assist with rigging and loading coordination, domestic and international freight, customs documentation, and logistics planning for this Alfa Laval industrial centrifuge.
