The Alfa Laval PX 55 is a high-speed disc stack desludger centrifuge, engineered for liquid/solids separation in oil, food, and chemical processing applications. This clarifier-style design includes centripetal pump liquid discharge for clean, pressurized liquid outflow and continuous performance.
Built in 2017, this machine features stainless steel contact parts, a bowl speed of up to 6240 RPM, and a 25 HP drive motor. With a 15-liter bowl volume and 4.6-liter sludge space, it is ideal for high-efficiency separation of oils, especially where low solid loads are expected.
