1. High-Speed Separation

The Alfa Laval PX-30 is a desludger disc centrifuge, engineered for liquid/liquid/solid separation.
It operates at a maximum bowl speed of 8,400 RPM, generating high G-forces to efficiently separate different liquid phases and remove solids.

2. Belt-Driven System

The centrifuge features a belt-drive configuration, which transfers power from the 10 HP motor to the bowl.
Belt-driven systems are cost-effective, easy to maintain, and reduce mechanical stress on the motor.

3. Stainless Steel Construction

All product contact areas are made of stainless steel, ensuring sanitary processing and resistance to corrosion, contamination, and chemical exposure.
This makes it ideal for food, pharmaceutical, and biopharma applications.

4. Multi-Phase Separation

The PX-30 can separate two immiscible liquid phases while simultaneously removing solids from the mixture.
It is commonly used in biopharmaceutical, dairy, beverage, and industrial applications.

5. No Built-In Controls

The unit does not include controls, meaning it will require an external control system to manage speed, discharge, and process automation.
Typically, PLC-based controllers are used to integrate the machine into existing production lines.

6. Compact & Efficient Design

The PX-30 is designed for continuous operation, meaning it can handle high throughputs with minimal operator intervention.
It provides efficient desludging and solids ejection, making it well-suited for industrial processing and fluid clarification.
