The Alfa-Laval UVNX 418B-11G tricanter centrifuge, 316SS, is engineered for high-efficiency separation processes, particularly in the food and beverage industry. With a maximum bowl speed of 4000 RPM, this centrifuge is capable of effectively separating solids from liquids, making it an ideal choice for applications such as olive oil processing. The 70mm single lead hardsurfaced conveyor ensures optimal performance and durability, allowing for the efficient handling of materials while minimizing wear and tear. The single row of lined cake ports is designed to facilitate the easy discharge of solids, ensuring a smooth operational flow and reducing downtime during maintenance or cleaning cycles. The robust 159:1 gearbox, coupled with a powerful 22 KW motor operating at 380/3/50/1450 RPM, provides the necessary torque and speed for demanding separation tasks, while the 4 KW fixed speed backdrive enhances the system's versatility and operational reliability.

This tricanter centrifuge also features a well-thought-out design that includes a feed tube, vibration switch/isolators, and unitized guards and chutes mounted on a sturdy stand. These components work together to ensure a safe and efficient working environment, minimizing the risk of accidents and enhancing overall productivity. The vibration switch is particularly crucial, as it helps monitor the operational stability of the centrifuge, alerting operators to any potential issues before they escalate. With its prior use in olive oil production, the Alfa-Laval UVNX 418B-11G has proven its effectiveness in a real-world setting, and its 1986 vintage does not detract from its performance; rather, it highlights the enduring quality and reliability of Alfa-Laval equipment. This centrifuge is currently in very good condition and located in Europe, making it an excellent investment for businesses looking to enhance their separation capabilities.
