📃 Description

The Alfa Laval LAPX 404SGP-31G/CG is a high-speed disc centrifuge clarifier, designed for precision solid-liquid separation with low product shear and high G-force efficiency. Constructed with 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and sanitary processing, this model is ideal for applications in biotech, pharma, food & beverage, and chemical processing.
Operating at a maximum bowl speed of 9600 RPM and generating 11,000 x G, the LAPX 404 delivers up to 4000 liters per hour (LPH) of clarified liquid throughput. With a maximum solids capacity of 33 LPH, a temperature operating range of 0–100°C, and pressurized liquid discharge, it ensures hygienic and efficient separation even in temperature-variable environments.
The unit features a low shear disc inlet design for gentle product handling and includes a sludge tank, piping, tool kit, and accessories for turnkey installation. Manufactured in 2021, this unit offers modern technology in near-new condition.
