Alfa-Laval BTPX205 Disc Separator: Pilot & Medium-Scale Disc Stack Centrifuge
Bridge the gap from laboratory testing to commercial production with the Alfa-Laval BTPX 205.
The BTPX205SGD-34CDP Disc Separator is a high-speed, solids-ejecting, continuously operating centrifuge designed specifically for biotechnical and pharmaceutical applications. Its ability to provide production-level performance in a pilot-plant footprint ensures that your trial results are directly relevant when scaling up to full commercial production.
Versatile Applications
The BTPX 205 is highly effective for a wide range of demanding processes:
- Biotechnology: Cell harvesting, microbial broth clarification, cell debris separation, recovery of inclusion bodies, and concentration of hormones.
- Pharmaceutical: Plasma fraction recovery, precipitate capture, and the production of vaccines and serums.
- Chemical/Specialty: Catalyst recovery, sub-micron particle separation, and processing of pigments, dyes, and toners.
Key Benefits
- Superior Separation: Generates up to 12,800 gravities to efficiently process micro-particles.
- Total Containment & Safety: Features a gas-tight, pressure-vessel design and double axial seals to protect both your product and the operating environment. Models are available with explosion-protected (ATEX-compliant) motors for hazardous environments.
- Precise Temperature Control: Integrated cooling jackets surround the bowl to prevent product overheating during operation.
- Hygiene & Maintenance: Fully steam-sterilizable ($121^{\circ}C$) with advanced Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) capabilities.
- Efficient Discharge: Utilizes a “dosing ring” solids-ejection system for rapid, reliable discharge, resulting in drier solids and lower product losses.
