Innovative technologies of Alfa Laval disc stack separators
Alfa Laval continues to lead the way in separation technology, building on the company’s invention of separation technology more than 140 years ago. This pioneering spirit is coded into our DNA. Here you can explore more about our unique and innovative features for disc stack separators. These features can contribute to various benefits for your business, such as even higher separation performance, higher yield, and more.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Optiwia™: Why is it Important?
Alfa Laval Optiwia™ helps brewers save up to 70% on water use in their clarifying separators. By reusing water for cooling, it reduces costs, improves efficiency, and supports sustainable brewing. Upgrade to Optiwia for a smarter, greener brewing process.
Alfa Laval ConditionAlert™
The new Alfa Laval ConditionAlert gives you an eagle eye’s view of your separator’s performance at all times. ConditionAlert proactively monitors separator condition and sends immediate alerts if actions are needed. Combined with Alfa Laval’s expert analysis, you have the vital information you need to ensure outstanding performance for your separator throughout its long lifetime.
ProCarb inline carbonation
Maximize product recovery, while securing the flavour and character of your beer. By adding ProCarb inline carbonation to your centrifuge, you get clarified beer with high-quality carbonation – at a fraction of the time traditionally required.
