Nos technologies de séparation
Alfa Laval continue de montrer la voie en faisant constamment progresser la technologie de séparation que l'entreprise a inventée il y a plus de 130 ans. Cet esprit pionnier s'inscrit dans notre ADN. Ici, vous pouvez explorer des informations supplémentaires sur nos caractéristiques de conception uniques et innovantes pour les séparateurs à empilement de disques. Ces caractéristiques peuvent contribuer à divers avantages pour votre entreprise, tels que des performances de séparation encore plus élevées, un rendement supérieur, une durabilité améliorée, des économies d'énergie, etc.
Revolutionary separation technology for business excellence
Hermetic Design™ – Completely airtight
Raise product quality by preventing air from getting into the separator. That’s the idea behind the Alfa Laval Hermetic Design™. A completely smooth and sealed bottom-fed inlet zone, hollow spindle, bowl, and discharge outlets provides gentler product handling, increased separation performance for fluids with shear-sensitive particles, up to 60% in cost savings, and higher product quality compared to top-fed separators.
eDrive™ – A single shaft improves everything
The Alfa Laval eDrive™ direct drive system delivers an energy-efficient solution with fewer moving parts than conventional gear- or belt-driven separators. While most gear drives use up to three shafts, the eDrive motor relies on just one. This lean design ensures robust and reliable operation, longer service intervals, reduced downtime, better energy efficiency, and lower operating costs for your process.
eMotion™ – Reduce friction, save energy
Compared to traditional separators, Alfa Laval eMotion™ improves hygiene, reduces the load on the motor and helps realize up to 75% in energy savings. By reducing air pressure in the space between the separator bowl and the frame, there’s less friction inside the separator bowl and less friction heat. The result is a leaner, cooler process, with less fouling and less stress on the product – and much less noise.
UniDisc™ – Maximize separation performance
The Alfa Laval UniDisc™ is a revolutionary new disc technology that increases separation capacity by up to 30%, while at the same time providing an easy to clean design and never-before-seen degree of hygiene. With small spacers pressed from the disc material itself, more discs can fit into a disc stack compared to traditional designs. The increased surface area and robust disc stacks make it easy to maximize separation performance or flow capacity.
Bactofuge® / TopStream™ – Outstanding solids capacity
Preserve the integrity of your solids, and increase separation capacity, with Alfa Laval TopStream™ technology, also known as Alfa Laval Bactofuge®. This continuous solid discharge method ensures an intact and highly concentrated solids stream for onward processing or as a valuable by-product. This makes it possible to increase separation capacity. It also adds value to dairy and fruit juice processing as well as for biopharma processing of high-density cellular material.
Centrizoom™ – Optimize separation efficiency
Get in-line tuning for your separator with Alfa Laval Centrizoom™. This device allows to adjust the paring tubes during operation, positioning the interface in exactly the right place between the two liquid phases. This optimizes separation efficiency and contributes to increased yield for edible oil refining processes.
