Vegetable oil separator for high-quality oil processing
Achieve optimal separation of oils and fats with advanced centrifuge technology designed to enhance yield and purity in the production of cooking oils, biodiesel, and nutritional supplements.
Separates and Refines Oils with High Efficiency
The PX Vegetable Oil Separator from Alfa Laval is an advanced centrifuge system designed for efficient separation and refinement of various oils, including vegetable, lard, tallow, and fish oils. It uniquely features Centrizoom technology, enabling optimal handling of high-viscosity media through a semi-hermetic, bottom-fed design that reduces energy consumption and operating noise. Commonly utilized in degumming, neutralization, and dewaxing processes, this separator handles capacities ranging from 50 to 1500 tons per day. The system is engineered with adjustable interface controls and robust stainless-steel construction, ensuring resistance to metal fatigue and erosion. Equipped with a reliable gear or direct drive, the PX series facilitates low-pressure operation with easy maintenance access, making it an ideal solution for vegetable oil processors and animal fat refining industries. Its automatic sludge discharge and adaptable paring devices streamline continuous operations, enhancing throughput efficiency.
