Alfa Laval Appoints Lubriserv LTD as UK Distributor for Its Mobile Centrifuge Separators
Lubriserv Ltd are now the UK Distributor of Alfa Lavals mobile centrifuges - the ALFIE 500 and EMMIE 2 high speed fluid separators for the metalworking industry.
Gloucester, United Kingdom, April 15, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The EMMIE 2 for neat oils - hydraulic, compressor, metalworking etc.
Water or particles in oil causes most hydraulic system breakdowns.
Alfa Laval’s upgraded, compact mobile separator unit Emmie.2 for industrial use, cleans a range of commonly used oils, including hydraulic oils and lube oils in a single easy operation.
The separator removes 99% of particles in the 2-5 micron range while it also can remove virtually all free water, even at high initial water contents. The result is more production uptime as well as reduced wear and corrosion on the equipment serviced, the process is so efficient that the service life of the oil can be prolonged many, many times.
Emmie is designed for “plug and go” operation. The unit is plugged in to a single-phase power source, the hoses are connected to the oil tank and the unit is ready for operation. Choose the viscosity of the oil to bee cleaned and press the start button.
Dirty oil is pumped from the tank, cleaned and then recirculated. The module can be easily wheeled around between oil tanks, to serve many different oil tanks.
The system incorporates a screw pump, a PLC control and a built in electric heater, which heats the oil to reach optimum viscosity prior to purifying.
The ALFIE 500 for soluble meatlworking coolants
Longer coolant life
Thanks to high-speed separation technology made simple and affordable, the Alfie 500 prolongs coolant lifetime by between three and five times. This reduces coolant disposal costs. It also lowers the costs associated with production stops to buy and replace coolant and to clean tanks since the separator can operate during production and when the equipment is idle. These cost-savings make investment in this separator a wise choice and one that, in most cases, pays for itself in less than a year.
Better product quality
Clean coolant contributes directly to overall product quality. The Alfie 500 keeps coolant clean by using just a single step to remove tramp oil and most metal particles down to 1 micron. This significantly reduces tool wear, results in fewer rejects and dramatically improves product quality. Since these contaminants no longer adhere to tool and component surfaces, processing precision is maintained and clean up simplified.
Healthier work environment
What’s more, using this coolant cleaner eliminates the unpleasant odors that can result when hydrogen sulfide gas forms from anaerobic bacteria that grows on the tramp oil in the tanks. The separator draws the tramp oil off the coolant and pumps it into a collection tank. This minimises the risk that machine operators develop allergies or skin problems from contact with the oils.
Ready to go
The Alfie 500 has got large wheels, so it will travel—even across uneven workshop floors. Its compact design occupies about a half square meter of floor space, making it easy to move through tight spaces to any location, including hard-to-access sumps. This versatility enables you to service just one tank, or several. The system handles coolant volumes of up to 15 m3 (7,500 gallons)—no small feat for a compact separator.
Clearly controllable
This high-speed separator comes with an added benefit: it requires no supervision whatsoever. In fact, it is so easy to operate that it practically runs itself. Just plug it in, connect the hoses at the machine’s bypass flow and press the start button. A PLC-based control system conveniently displays all functions on a control panel using easy-to-read symbols and clear text.
Truly the most effective cleaning method
High-speed centrifugal separation is the most effective way to clean all types of process fluids. Using the force of gravity to separate contaminated fluids in a settling tank is both time-consuming and largely ineffective. Heavy particles slowly settle to the tank bottom, while the lighter fluids rise to the top—and in between there’s a mixture that remains unseparated.
In contrast, a centrifugal separator generally applies a force that is 5,000 times greater than the force of gravity to the process fluid to increase separation efficiency. The disc stack further enhances separation efficiency by providing a larger surface to which particles can adhere and directing lighter particles toward the bowl periphery. This makes centrifugal separation truly the most robust and efficient cleaning method for cleaning process fluids.
