Shanghai CSSC Pielstick (China)

YLX Series

Shanghai CSSC is a subsidiary of the China State Shipbuilding Corporation and produces marine separators as an alternative to established Western and Japanese manufacturers. The YLX series is mainly installed on Chinese newbuilds whose owners do not specify Alfa Laval. Technically functional, but quality consistency and service network outside China are weaknesses. Priced 40–60% cheaper than Alfa Laval.
