Alfa Laval has introduced a versatile and hygienic self-priming pump with more efficiency and less noise, based on the company’s LKH pump range.
Using the combination of advanced air-screw technology, optimised impeller and casing geometry, Alfa Laval LKH Prime exceeds industry expectations for efficient operation, reduced energy consumption and CO₂ footprint, the company said. It uses a combination of air-screw technology and advanced design to meet the most stringent requirements in a range of hygienic industries including food, dairy and beverage.
Characterised by reliability for improved operational productivity and designed for cleaning-in-place (CIP) duties containing entrained air, Alfa Laval LKH Prime can also pump product, potentially reducing the capital investment when designing process systems.
Quiet in operation, Alfa Laval LKH Prime reduces sound pressure levels by 80% when compared to pumps using traditional pump technologies for CIP/entrained air applications. This noise reducing feature is a smart way to improve the working environment and plant safety for employees, Sweden-based Alfa Laval said.
The pump is easy and cost effective to service and maintain. By sharing common parts with the Alfa Laval LKH pump range, Alfa Laval LKH Prime offers low cost of ownership and increased uptime, backed up by the security that comes from Alfa Laval’s global service network.
