Disk-Stack Centrifuge for High Temperature Applications

Alfa Laval Brewery Systemsval HCHPX disk-stack centrifuge is suitable for the diverse separation needs of the process industries, specifically applications that require operation at elevated temperatures (100-200° C). Application areas include high temperature specific areas within a wide range of manufacturing processes including lube oil additives, catalyst fines recovery, and other solvent diluted separations.

The disc-stack centrifuge is part of Alfa Laval Brewery Systemsval CHPX series of solids-ejecting centrifuges currently operating in the chemical, pulp and paper, mining, nuclear power, sugar, pharmaceutical, and biotech industries. This unit can handle a variety of liquid/solids separation tasks at high temperatures. The centrifuge is capable of separating particles as small as 0.5 micron.

The automatic discharge cycle of the HCHPX eliminates manual handling of solids and minimizes loss of process liquid. The unit comes as a complete separation system with ancillary and control equipment. The separator is suitable for continuous operations with even, homogeneous flows or within process lines with fluctuating conditions. The centrifuge is also adaptable to on-site automatic cleaning systems.

Insulated covers on the separator serve to maintain temperatures and minimize heat loss as well as provide external operator safety features in the form of gas-tight and explosion-protection safeguards.
