MBUX

Alfa Laval MBUX industrial centrifuges are well suited to the recovery of yeast and other microorganisms in pharma applications. Yeast centrifuge separators available in different sizes, they require relatively little energy to recover concentrated solids. The slurry is pseudo-plastic and flows easily in the bowl against the centrifugal force in what is a closed system. The closed configuration also enhances hygiene.

• High uniform concentration of discharged solids phase regardless of fluctuations in feed flow or concentration due to self-regulating vortex nozzles

• No foaming – light and heavy phase are both discharged under pressure which simplifies installation (no pump systems) and improves hygiene

• No accumulation of packed solids – pockets in the bowl guide solids to the concentrate tubes making separation and CIP easy and effective

• Cost effective operation – low energy requirements in a closed system under pressure

• Efficient – bowl can be opened intermittently during production and/or cleaning cycle to eject solids while machine continues to run at full speed
