Alfa-Laval NX 418B-31G sanitary decanter centrifuge, 316SS.

Max bowl speed 4000 RPM, 3158 x G, liquid discharged by gravity, 110mm hardsurfaced Esbjerg conveyor, no motors, guards, 159:1 2.5 kNm gearbox and feed tube. Prior use: Starch and sweeteners. 1987 vintage. Very good condition.

The Alfa-Laval NX 418B-31G sanitary decanter centrifuge, 316SS, is engineered for high-efficiency separation processes, particularly in the food and beverage industry. With a maximum bowl speed of 4000 RPM and a centrifugal force of 3158 x G, this centrifuge effectively separates solids from liquids, ensuring optimal clarity and purity in the final product. The liquid discharge is facilitated by gravity, which not only enhances the operational efficiency but also minimizes the risk of contamination, making it an ideal choice for applications involving starch and sweeteners. The robust construction of this decanter, made from 316 stainless steel, ensures durability and resistance to corrosion, which is essential for maintaining hygiene standards in sanitary applications.

Equipped with a 110mm hardsurfaced Esbjerg conveyor, the Alfa-Laval NX 418B-31G is designed for reliable and consistent performance. The conveyor plays a crucial role in the efficient handling of separated solids, ensuring they are transported away from the bowl without causing blockages or delays in the separation process. This model features a 159:1 2.5 kNm gearbox and a feed tube that are integral to its operation, providing the necessary torque and speed control to adapt to varying feed conditions. Despite being a vintage model from 1987, it remains in very good condition, reflecting the longevity and reliability of Alfa-Laval's engineering. This centrifuge is an excellent investment for companies looking to enhance their production capabilities while adhering to stringent sanitary requirements.
