Die MAPX-Serie war über drei Jahrzehnte der Industriestandard für marine Fuel- und Lube-Oil-Purifier. Gebaut von Alfa Laval ab Mitte der 1970er Jahre, basiert sie auf dem klassischen Gravity-Disc-Prinzip zur Phasentrennung. Millionen Betriebsstunden auf Schiffen aller Klassen weltweit. Seit ca. 2005 schrittweise durch die ALCAP S-Serie mit automatischer Phasenerkennung abgelöst. Auf älteren Schiffen (Baujahr vor 2008) weiterhin weit verbreitet, Ersatzteile zunehmend über Drittanbieter.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
