USED ALFA LAVAL NX 438B-31G

Manufacturer: Alfa Laval
Model: NX 438B-31G
Type: Solid Bowl Decanter Centrifuge
Condition: Used

Description
Used Alfa Laval NX 438B-31G Solid Bowl Decanter Centrifuge constructed with 316 stainless steel in all product contact areas, designed for high-efficiency solid-liquid separation in demanding industrial environments. This unit features a maximum bowl speed of 3650 RPM, delivering strong centrifugal force for optimal separation performance.
Equipped with a 360° single row of lined cake discharge ports with wear liners, liquid plate dams, and a hydraulic back drive system, this centrifuge ensures consistent solids handling and precise differential speed control. Powered by a 55 kW main drive motor and a 3.5 kN gearbox, the machine is built for continuous-duty processing.
Previously used in a fishmeal/oil application, this unit is well-suited for similar high-throughput separation processes. Complete with stainless steel casing, base, control panel, and frame mounted on four legs, it is ready for integration into industrial operations.
