Alfie 500 for cost-effective cleaning of coolants

Separator system

Using high-speed centrifugal separation makes it possible 2


to extend the life of your service fluids. Alfa Laval’s disc-stack
1
separators provide fast, efficient, simultaneous three-phase
separation of oil and sludge.

Alfie 500 removes contaminating oil, grease and solid particles


from coolants. The result is lower costs due to reduced fluid
consumption, lower disposal costs and improvements in both
product quality and working environ­ment.

Alfie 500 is a complete compact system, including separator,


feed pump and control system. The control panel makes it
easy to operate. The Alfie 500 has a high capacity-to-size 6

ratio. Handling tanks have volumes of up to 15 m3. Alfie 500


is installed in a bypass system and operates­continuously­.

User-friendly operation
Operator convenience is a key parameter in the design of the
Alfie 500. The PLC-based control system is operated by
means of a control panel. The symbols and messages in
clear text are easy to understand. Quick couplings make it
easy to connect the hoses when the cleaning unit is moved 5
from tank to tank.

With its compact and ergonomic design, Alfie 500 is easy to


move across the workshop floor. And you can use it to serve
several tanks or just one.
