LKH Multistage Hygienic Centrifugal Pump - Alfa Laval

Alfa Laval LKH hygienic centrifugal pumps designed to meet the hygienic requirements of the dairy, food and beverage and personal care industries, LKH Multistage centrifugal pumps increase process productivity while providing high efficiency and gentle product handling.



Alfa Laval LKH Pumps Benefits


As Alfa Laval’s premium range of centrifugal pumps, the LKH multistage centrifugal pump are distinguished by high efficiency, low energy consumption, several options, and a wide range of flow rates and pressures.


A precision-engineered pump and motor provide high efficiency and gentle product treatment. The robust design and tight tolerances together with the advanced impeller design minimize recirculation and ensure the efficient transfer of energy.


The impeller design ensures efficient and gentle handling of the product as it moves through the pump. This ensures product integrity and minimizes NPSHr (Net Positive Suction Head required).

Making pump energy use more efficient presents huge potential for energy savings. The optimized pump design and premium motor of Alfa Laval LKH Pumps often deliver greater energy efficiency than similar premium pumps and up to 50% compared to similar mid-range pumps.


The key is attention to detail. Controlled compression gaskets, crevice-free internals, an external mechanical seal, and an optimised impeller with balancing holes all ensure that the pump is truly cleaned during a time-effective CIP cycle. Perfectly aligned components and joints with O-rings tightened to a predefined compression minimize the elastomer product contact surfaces, which also safeguards hygiene.


By positioning the shaft seal outside the pump, difficult-to-clean components do not come into direct contact with the product. In addition, the front-loading design enables quick and easy replacement, providing more uptime with lower maintenance costs. Interchangeable single, flushed and double seals simplify spare parts inventory.

Alfa Laval multistage pump manufacturer offers a comprehensive range of pumps intended for hygienic applications in dairy, food, beverage, home care and personal care.

Bulker-fit configuration for Alfa Laval PureBallast 3 matches differentiated ballasting/deballasting flows

  Bulk carriers can now benefit from an Alfa Laval PureBallast 3 bulker-fit configuration, which is specifically adapted to their flow needs. The bulker-fit configuration offers savings in footprint, installation, OPEX, and especially CAPEX, yet it retains the high performance, easy operation, and global service coverage PureBallast 3 is known for. A growing number of ship owners are choosing UV ballast water treatment over electrochlorination, even for large ballast water flows. Today’s UV treatment competes easily on footprint and energy consumption, which makes advantages like chemical-free operation, zero corrosion risk, and efficiency at low salinities and temperatures even more attractive. Until now, however, the move towards UV has been less noticeable among bulkers. “Bulkers have a unique ballasting and deballasting profile because they load and unload at significantly different rates,” says Peter Sahlén, Head of Alfa Laval PureBallast. “The PureBallast 3 bulker-fit configurati

How gasketed plate heat exchangers work

Image
In a gasketed plate heat exchanger, the plates are fitted with elastomeric gaskets which seal the channels and direct the fluids into alternate channels. The plate pack is assembled between a frame plate and a pressure plate, and compressed by tightening bolts fitted between these plates. The channel plates and the pressure plate are suspended from an upper carrying bar and located by a lower guiding bar, both of which are fixed to the support column. The physical design of the gasketed plate heat exchanger allows easy cleaning and modification of capacity by the addition or removal of plates.   ·          Liquid/Liquid GPHE   ·          Steam heater GPHE   ·          Liquid/Liquid 2-pass GPHE     Liquid/Liquid GPHE This animation above shows the working principle of an Alfa Laval liquid/liquid 1-pass gasketed plate-and-frame heat exchanger where the fluids run counter-currently through the heat exchanger. The hot liquid (illustrated in red) normally enters through one of
