USED ALFA LAVAL VNPX 410-SGP-34

Manufacturer Information
Alfa Laval
Alfa Laval manufactures industrial separation, heat-transfer, and fluid-handling equipment used throughout food, beverage, chemical, wastewater, pharmaceutical, and other process industries. Its disc-stack centrifuges are designed for high-speed separation of compatible process streams.
This Alfa Laval VNPX 407-SGP-34 is configured as a desludging clarifier for liquid/solid separation and was previously used in an apple juice application.
Description
Available for sale is a used Alfa Laval VNPX 407-SGP-34 desludger disc-stack centrifuge featuring stainless steel product-contact areas and a clarifier configuration for separating suspended solids from compatible liquid process streams.
The centrifuge has a stated processing capacity of approximately 7,000 liters per hour (1,799 GPH) and is driven by an 11 kW / 16.5 HP motor rated for 380V, 50 Hz, 3-phase electrical service.
As a desludging disc centrifuge, the unit is designed to provide continuous liquid clarification while periodically discharging accumulated separated solids.
The machine was previously used for apple juice processing, making it potentially applicable to compatible juice, beverage, food-processing, fermentation, and other liquid clarification operations. Prior food use does not by itself establish current sanitary or food-grade condition; inspection and cleaning validation should be performed as required.
Serial number is 409618, and the centrifuge is reported to have been rebuilt. The date, scope, parts replaced, and documentation associated with the rebuild should be verified if required.
