The MMPX 303 is a compact, high-speed disc-stack Alfa Laval centrifugal separator designed for continuous purification and clarification of mineral, fuel, and lubricating oils.
The operating bowl speed of the MMPX 303 is 9,510 RPM. This model delivers efficient removal of water, sludge, and solid contaminants from oils, ensuring cleaner operation and extended machinery life.
Its self-cleaning design minimises manual intervention and ensures consistent separation quality. Also integrated with EPC-41 makes it easier to operate and monitor, with reliable start-up sequencing and safety interlocks to prevent overspeed or imbalance.
Alfa Laval MMPX 303 Applications
- Marine engines: Used for onboard cleaning of fuel and lubricating oils for main and auxiliary engines.
- Power generation: Maintains the cleanliness of turbine and generator lubrication systems to enhance reliability.
- Fuel oil purification: Improves efficiency and reduces fouling by removing water and particulate impurities from heavy or distillate fuels before combustion.
- Industrial machinery: Purifies hydraulic and gear oils used in compressors, pumps, and other rotating equipment.
Key features of MMPX 303
- Dual function: It can be utilised as either a clarifier (removing solids) or a purifier (removing both water and solids), depending on the oil system requirements.
- High-speed separation: Due to the 9510 r/pm bowl speed, solids and water are precisely separated from oil.
- Durable: Stainless-steel bowl and corrosion-resistant materials guarantee long service life under harsh conditions.
- Versatile oil handling: It can handle a wide range of fuel and lubricating oil viscosities.
- Compact design: Lightweight (240 kg) and space-efficient for small engine rooms or industrial installations.
