This is how it works

The crankcase separator is built around a rotating conical disc stack. The crankcase ventilation gas is fed into the separator.

Oil and soot particles are removed from the blow-by by means of centrifugal forces of 2,500-3,000 G at a separator speed of 7,000-9,000 rpm.

The droplets and particles coalesce on the discs and form larger clusters which, due to the centrifugal force, move toward the outer edge of the discs, where they are discharged onto the inner wall of the separator housing. The droplets and particles then run down to the bottom of the separator, before finally being returned to the engine sump.

A good start to the new year

Although the ongoing pandemic is still affecting all our lives, we at Alfdex are optimistic and have had a good start for the new year. The demand for our Oil Mist Separators is still high and we have recently increased our production capacity to meet those volumes.

A truckload of difference.

Did you know that China is the world’s largest market for heavy trucks – and the planet’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases?

In 1883, the centrifugal separator technology from Alfa Laval’s founding father Gustaf de Laval revolutionized the dairy industry by separating milk from cream. Today, a modern take on that same technology can be found in millions of diesel truck engines around the world – and is actually set to play an important role in fighting air pollution in China.
