Used ALFA LAVAL WSPX 403 #9228154 for sale

A ALFA LAVAL WSPX 403 is a centrifuge designed for separation and concentration of solids in liquids or suspension. It is a large, cylindrical unit with variable speed capabilities driving a high-speed rotor, typically made of stainless-steel. It has a series of compartments which are housed in a revolving bowl at high speeds. When the cylindrical bowl rotates around its horizontal axis, centrifugal forces cause the heavier, denser particles to settle to the bottom of the bowl, while lighter, less dense particles are retained in the more shallow upper compartments. The solids are then discharged from the centrifuge at the bottom of the bowl, separated from the liquids. WSPX 403 is controlled by several operating systems, including a programmable logic control (PLC), to adjust speed and other parameters in order to control and optimize the separations process. Additionally, a safety system is in place to protect the operator, equipment, and product from potential risks. A clear window and light allow easy monitoring of the process, and a protective housing provides additional safety. The performance of ALFA LAVAL WSPX 403 is determined by several factors, such as the type and size of the solids, the speed of the rotor, and the throughput rate. Capacity is determined by the bowl size and speed, while the vibration control is kept low by the double-bearing design of the vacuum pump. A wear resistant lining also extends its longevity. WSPX 403 can be used in numerous industries to separate out particles or concentrate components of a suspension, such as proteins, foodstuffs, and chemicals. Additionally, it would be the preferable choice for smaller-scale production needs, with a higher rate of processing efficiency than other types of centrifuges. Overall, ALFA LAVAL WSPX 403 is an efficient, reliable centrifuge with variable speed capability, a clear window to monitor process, and a safety system for protection. It is ideal for smaller-scale production needs and is suitable for many industries that need to separate out particles or concentrate components of a suspension.
