X6

Crew members and engineers on board olive oil processing vessels rely on high-performance decanter centrifuges to efficiently separate oil from olives, ensuring high-quality production and reduced water consumption. Alfa Laval’s X6 decanter centrifuge is designed to provide optimal performance in olive oil applications, offering a compact and efficient solution for clarification, extraction, dewatering, and classification during first and second extraction phases. The X6 features a Variable Dynamic Pressure (VDP) system, which optimizes the dryness level of solids by adjusting the conveyor speed, and it supports both two-phase and three-phase operations. The AISI 316 stainless steel construction ensures durability and easy maintenance, with hinged casings for convenient cleaning and servicing. Standard equipment includes built-in pumps, spare parts, and a tank with a vibrating filter for collecting liquid phases. The X6 operates at a maximum bowl speed of 4200 rpm, generating a G-force of 3549, and is equipped with an overload protection system.
