1. High-Speed Separation
- The Alfa Laval PX-30 is a desludger disc centrifuge, engineered for liquid/liquid/solid separation.
- It operates at a maximum bowl speed of 8,400 RPM, generating high G-forces to efficiently separate different liquid phases and remove solids.
2. Belt-Driven System
- The centrifuge features a belt-drive configuration, which transfers power from the 10 HP motor to the bowl.
- Belt-driven systems are cost-effective, easy to maintain, and reduce mechanical stress on the motor.
3. Stainless Steel Construction
- All product contact areas are made of stainless steel, ensuring sanitary processing and resistance to corrosion, contamination, and chemical exposure.
- This makes it ideal for food, pharmaceutical, and biopharma applications.
4. Multi-Phase Separation
- The PX-30 can separate two immiscible liquid phases while simultaneously removing solids from the mixture.
- It is commonly used in biopharmaceutical, dairy, beverage, and industrial applications.
5. No Built-In Controls
- The unit does not include controls, meaning it will require an external control system to manage speed, discharge, and process automation.
- Typically, PLC-based controllers are used to integrate the machine into existing production lines.
6. Compact & Efficient Design
- The PX-30 is designed for continuous operation, meaning it can handle high throughputs with minimal operator intervention.
- It provides efficient desludging and solids ejection, making it well-suited for industrial processing and fluid clarification.
Applications:
- Biopharmaceutical & Pharmaceutical Processing
- Food & Beverage Processing
