The Alfa-Laval UVNX 418B-11G tricanter centrifuge, 316SS, is engineered for high-efficiency separation processes, particularly in the food industry, where it has been previously utilized for olive oil extraction. With a maximum bowl speed of 3250 RPM, this centrifuge is capable of achieving rapid separation of solids and liquids, ensuring optimal yield and quality. The 70mm single lead hardsurfaced conveyor enhances the material handling capabilities, allowing for effective transport of solids while minimizing wear and tear. The single row of lined cake ports ensures that the discharge of separated solids is efficient and consistent, making it an ideal choice for operations requiring high throughput and reliability. The robust 159:1 gearbox paired with a powerful 30 KW motor ensures that the centrifuge operates smoothly under varying loads, providing the necessary torque for effective separation even in challenging conditions.

In addition to its impressive performance specifications, the Alfa-Laval UVNX 418B-11G tricanter centrifuge is designed with user safety and operational efficiency in mind. The inclusion of a fixed-speed backdrive with 5 HP capacity enhances the overall functionality of the unit, allowing for seamless transitions between operational modes. The feed tube, vibration switch, and isolators are strategically integrated to minimize operational disturbances and enhance stability during processing. Furthermore, the unitized guards and chutes on the stand contribute to a safer work environment by reducing the risk of accidental contact with moving parts. Despite being a vintage model from 1984, this centrifuge has been maintained in very good condition, making it a reliable choice for businesses looking to invest in high-quality industrial equipment without the premium price tag of new machinery.
