SX Series Rotary Cam Pump
SX is Alfa Laval's advanced rotary cam pump, designed for gentle delivery of process fluids in biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, health and beauty industries, and sanitary and ultra clean applications that require strict food requirements.
advantage:
With the SXs multi blade rotor geometry, it provides low pulsation and gentle pumping. This makes it the best choice for transporting sensitive products that require gentle handling to minimize shearing. This EHEDG approved pump is designed for CIP (cleaning in place) and SIP (sterilization in place).
The SX pump features low pulse, low shear and low noise, while ensuring efficient liquid delivery. This high level of performance is achieved through a deep understanding of the flow and the exact geometry of the rotor and rotor casing. Alfa Laval uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to achieve this goal.
The design features adopted by the SX rotary vane pump maximize performance and minimize the risk of contamination. These include low rotor nuts, sanitary front mounted mechanical seals, defined compression front cover seals, full discharge pump heads with a 3 ° tilt angle, and sanitary or ultra clean surface treatment.
SX pump is designed for maximum cleanness and easy access, which is a low maintenance solution. Alfa Laval manufactures all pump components, including rotor housings and high-precision rotors. This facilitates maintenance work and ensures full interchangeability of spare rotor components.
For reliable operation and lower maintenance costs, the rugged gearbox structure is equipped with heavy duty shafts, torque locking devices and tapered roller bearings. The universal design of the gearbox provides flexibility for vertical or horizontal installation of the pump inlet and outlet ports.
SX rotary vane pump has 14 different models to choose from, which can handle various viscosity and temperature requirements, with flow up to 115 m3/h, pressure up to 15 bar, and temperature up to 150 ° C. A wide range of seals are available to ensure that the correct seal is selected for a particular application.
All SX rotary vane pumps comply with EHEDG, 3-A, 3.1 and FDA health standards, and are ATEX certified for use in explosive environments.
