Alfa Laval Alfie 500 Separator

Alfie 500 – worth evaluating

Alfie 500 is specifically designed to remove contaminants from coolants in smaller systems, using the time-tested technique of high-speed centrifugal separation. With its compact design, Alfie 500 is easy to move across a workshop floor. And you can use it to service several tanks, or just one, for volumes of up to 15 m3 (7,500 gallons). The equipment is easy to operate thanks to a PLC-based control panel. And just about anyone can quickly learn how to operate and service it.

Since the separator is installed in a bypass flow, Alfie 500 can treat the coolant during a production run or at standstill. Alfie 500 separates tramp oil as well as metal fines and solid particles down to 1 µm from the coolant.

Recycling means major savings

Install Alfie 500 and your fluids will last much longer. Continuous cleaning extends the life of your coolants and, with top-ups, it can last as long as 10 years!

Imagine the savings on fluid disposal and replacement. No filters to replace or dispose of. Clean coolant is returned to your tanks, “pure” free oil or tramp oil is collected in a tank and a compact dry cake of particles collects on the inside of the separator bowl.

Precise tools – better end quality

In light of today’s zero-defect production philosophy, Alfie 500 is a clear asset in any metalworking plant. Clean coolant minimises tool wear caused by contaminants, giving more precise machining and fewer rejects.

Keep your tools running

The Alfie 500 will raise your productivity. Clean coolants mean longer tool lifetime and longer production runs without tool changes. It also means fewer breakdowns due to solid particles clogging pumps and other equipment. Fewer stops for tank cleaning is yet another benefit.
