⚙️ Description

This Alfa Laval AFPX / BRPX 617SFV-31CGL Solids-Ejecting Centrifuge is a high-performance disc stack separator engineered for continuous clarification and separation of liquids with suspended solids. Designed for automatic solids discharge, this model is ideal for high-throughput industrial processes where uptime, separation efficiency, and sanitary construction are critical.
The centrifuge features stainless steel wetted components, a maximum throughput of 65 m³/hour, and a high-speed bowl operating up to 4,480 RPM. Driven by a robust 45 kW (≈60 HP) motor, the unit is supplied with a VFD motor starter and control panel, allowing precise speed and process control.
Having been fully refurbished and unused since rebuild, this centrifuge offers near-new operational reliability at a significant cost savings compared to new equipment, making it well suited for food, beverage, dairy, biotech, chemical, and industrial liquid processing applications.
