Model: BD80
Description: One pre owned Alfa Laval BD80 Centrifuge. - Medium Capacity disc stack centrifuge for biodiesel production.
- The BD 80 is designed for producing biodiesel fuel from 450 tons/day of vegetable oil. Actual throughputs vary according to the type of oil to be treated. Nominal capacities: Methyl ester/glycerol separation = 26,000 l/h, Methyl ester washing = 23,500 l/h.
- The machine consists of a frame with a base that contains a horizontal drive shaft, worm gear, lubricating oil bath and hollow vertical bowl spindle. The bowl is fixed on top of the spindle, inside the space formed by the upper part of the frame, the solids collecting cover, and the frame hood. The hood carries the liquid discharge system. All parts in contact with the process liquid are made of stainless steel.
- The bowl is a solids ejecting disc type, with an automatic hydraulic operating system for “shooting”. The flameproof, standard electric motor is suitable for variable frequency drive.
