AlfaPure Z7
Using high-speed centrifugal separation it is possible to greatly extend the life of your service liquids. Alfa Laval’s disc-stack centrifuges provide fast, efficient, simultaneous three-phase separation of, for instance, water, oil and sludge.
Product Description
AlfaPure Z7 removes contaminating oil, grease and solid particles from water-based liquids, e.g. coolants and wash liquids. The result is lower costs due to reduced fluid consumption, lower disposal costs and improvements in both product quality and working environment which also means increased productivity.
AlfaPure Z7 is a complete system, including separator, feed pump, sludge pump and control system. The touch screen based control system makes it extremely easy to operate. The AlfaPure Z7 has a high capacity-to-size ratio. The module requires less than 2.6 m2 of floor space and can handle tanks with volumes of up to 250 m3. In most cases, AlfaPure Z7 is installed in a bypass system and operates continuously.
User-friendly operation
Operator convenience was a key parameter in the design of the AlfaPure Z7. The PLC-based control system is operated by means of a touch screen. All symbols and messages are easily understandable, simplifying the interaction between operator and machine. The control system handles all settings of valves and pumps automatically. The separator is accessible from the front and the openable cabinet gives easy access to process components. Quick couplings ensure that all components can be serviced quickly and simply.
The system is compact. A stainless steel cabinet is mounted on a 1270 x 2030 mm stainless steel frame. The connection interface makes installation simple.
Modularized system
The modular design of the AlfaPure Z7 makes it easy to adapt the system to the specific needs of the user. Several options and optional equipment are available:
- Siemens or Allen-Bradley PLC control system,
- Surface suction device,
- Crossflow filter for heavily contaminated coolants,
- One or two dosing pumps for addition of chemicals,
- Stainless steel design of all components that come into contact with the fluid.
