D series
The Alfa Laval D series is a collection of dairy separators designed for milk and whey clarification in the dairy industry. These milk clarifiers come in various models to handle different capacity needs and include smart innovations for efficient, reliable, and cost-effective operation.
Experience the benefits of D series, ideal dairy separator and clarifier for milk or whey
- Alfa Laval’s unique bottom-fed Hermetic Design™ provides superior skimming efficiency and maintains premium product quality
- The bottom-fed design reduces shear forces for gentle product treatment that preserves the size of the fat globules
- Hermetic seals on inlet and outlet prevent oxidation and reduce the foaming of the milk
- Easy adaptation to process conditions provides increased production flexibility and efficient CIP
- Energy savings of up to 60% thanks to the Hermetic Design™, reaching up to 75% when combined eMotion™
The objective of milk clarification is to remove somatic cells and impurities. While many clarifiers can only be used for either hot or cold milk, the Alfa Laval D series can process both. In whey clarification, removing cheese fines from whey before it reaches the separator is necessary for maintaining optimum fat separation and long run times. Alfa Laval D series separators take care of clarification upstream of the whey separator, which is the most efficient way to remove cheese fines.
Innovative features of D series milk clarifiers
Hermetic Design ™
Alfa Laval’s D series dairy separators, featuring our unique Hermetic Design™, ensure gentle and efficient milk and whey clarification. By maintaining the size of fat globules and preventing milk foaming, they guarantee consistent product standardization and exceptional quality. The airtight bowl enhances fluid dynamics, reducing power consumption by up to 60% compared to non-hermetic alternatives, making it a highly efficient and sustainable choice for dairy processing.
eMotion™
Alfa Laval eMotion™ is a unique energy-saving module, available as an add-on for many of Alfa Laval’s dairy separators. By creating a near-vacuum around the separator bowl, eMotion™ reduces air friction enough to improve energy efficiency with up to 25%. And there are additional benefits of eMotion™, such as reduced noise levels, lower cooling requirements, and improved cleanability.
UniDisc™
The Alfa Laval UniDisc™ boosts separation capacity by up to 30% with a hygienic, easy-to-clean design. Its built-in spacers allow more discs per stack, increasing surface area and enhancing performance or flow capacity.
eDrive™
The Alfa Laval eDrive™ direct drive system provides an energy-efficient separator drive that has fewer moving parts compared to traditional gear- or belt-drive system. Unlike most gear-drive systems with up to three shafts, the eDrive™ direct-drive motor has just one shaft. That translates into highly robust operation, more uptime, longer intervals between services, better energy efficiency, and reduced costs.
Saving energy, cutting costs
Alfa Laval separators with Hermetic Design™ are the most energy-efficient on the market. When our unique eMotion™ technology is added, minimized air friction brings additional power reduction. Combined, our unique design and technologies can deliver up to 75% energy reduction compared to non-hermetic alternatives on the market.
Cutting back on water use
Alfa Laval dairy separators are self-cleaning. Thanks to Hermetic Design™ and our innovative UniDisc™ disc stack, cleaning is faster and uses less water and CIP liquid than traditional separators. Additional water savings can be made with eMotion™. By removing air around the separator bowl, eMotion™ reduces friction. Cutting the amount of water needed to cool the separator during operation.
