Fermentation Separation System

Alfa Laval Brewery SystemsX 710 fermentation separation system is a multi-purpose, medium-scale (1,500-2,500 liters fermentation volume), centrifuge module. This system is suitable for the demands associated with the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. It is available as a complete system or standalone unit.

Features include separator, starter, cyclone, control equipment and ancillary equipment. The solids-ejecting centrifuge operates at 12,800 G force and can handle a variety of biopharmaceutical separation tasks such as whole cell harvesting, broth clarification, and lysate clarification. The solids-ejecting bowl incorporates a hydraulic system for intermittent discharge of solids. Partial discharge of solids occurs while the separator is operating at full speed. Separated solids are ejected into the solids receptacle and then into the cyclone which reduces the kinetic energy of the discharged solids.

The turbidity sensor monitors the clarified effluent, sensing the need for, and actuating solids ejection. This system is also equipped with a direct gear drive. The system includes an emergency stop function and safety equipment to insure safe and reliable operation. All systems are manufactured in facilities that are in compliance with ISO 9001 quality standards.

This product will be on display at the 1999 Interphex Show, booth #1120.
