MAPX-309

The Alfa Laval S.p.A. MAPX-309 is a legacy high-speed disc-stack oil separator intended for centrifugal cleaning of fuel oils, lubricating oils or other compatible mineral oils according to its installed configuration. It is normally installed in a machinery-space oil-treatment system together with the necessary feed, heating, outlet and control equipment. Inside the rotating bowl, centrifugal force separates denser contaminants from the lighter oil phase, with the disc stack increasing the effective separation area. Depending on bowl arrangement and system setup, the separator may be used for purification, clarification or another manufacturer-approved oil-cleaning duty. The MAPX designation belongs to an older Alfa Laval separator family; the exact sludge-handling and operating-water arrangement varies by specification and must be checked in the applicable instruction book. The numeric designation in MAPX-309 identifies the model within its family, but the provided source does not give capacity or construction details for this exact variant. Exact configuration, operating values, wear limits and application suitability must therefore be taken from the manufacturer documentation and machine nameplate.
