Prodec
Alfa Laval's Prodec series industrial centrifuges are designed to improve separation processes. .

The Prodec series offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for demanding processing applications and sets the standard in two-phase and three-phase separation. It is a water-oil separator suitable for a wide range of industries, including mineral processing, battery recycling, ethanol, biofuels, chemical production, and starch extraction.

Prodec Decanter Centrifuge

Experience exceptionally high efficiency in solid-liquid separation with Alfa Laval Prodec series decanter centrifuges.

• Maximizing product recovery in demanding industrial applications through continuous, uninterrupted operation

• High performance in a compact configuration with a small installation footprint

• Advanced screw technology (Conveyor) that enables precise control of the separation process and improves performance consistency even under variable feed conditions.

• Durable engineering design with materials tailored for reliable performance even in abrasive, corrosive, and high-temperature environments

• Smart cleaning system based on Alfa Laval's integrated control technology, which reduces downtime and extends equipment life

Improving the energy efficiency of Alfa Laval separation equipment

The bowl can be equipped with special plates or pipes that utilize hydraulic energy to reduce overall energy consumption.

Part of the discharge velocity of the fluid leaving the unit is captured and redirected to contribute to the rotation of the drum. This action reduces the velocity of the outgoing fluid, thereby reducing the overall power requirements.

Alfa Laval's unique direct drive system automatically controls the conveyor speed to ensure optimal solids dryness, regardless of permissible variations in feed flow.
