Alfdex with its g-Technology^TM, a global leading company within cleaning particles and liquid droplets from gases, has signed two groundbreaking orders for crankcase ventilation systems in the commercial vehicle industry. The orders are connected to the development and extension of the existing Alfdex g-Cleaner product family. The total value of the orders during the length of the programs is expected to about SEK 1.3 billion.

“The strong focus on sustainability in combination with stepwise tougher emission regulations inspires companies to plan and think around the corner, which also creates demand that drives our product development efforts”, says Fredrik Larsson, Alfdex CEO. “These two orders are proof of exactly that – and we offer something unique, with benefits such as maintenance-free operation, extremely high purification performance, and robustness for all types of environments, fuels and applications, including hydrogen.”

Some details about the two orders:

• Alfdex g-Cleaner eMDS (electric Medium Duty Separator) to one of the largest manufacturers of off-road agriculture and construction equipment. It is a five-year agreement with a total value of about SEK 300 million.
• Alfdex g-Cleaner SDS (Super Duty Separator) for large on-road engines, typically used in trucks and buses. The order is an agreement with one of the global powerhouses and one of the leading vehicle manufacturers. It is an eight-year program with a total value of about SEK 1,000 million.

“We are very proud of this confirmation that our product development efforts to support our customers in creating a sustainable future are recognized”, says Fredrik Larsson.

About Alfdex and the growing power of the innovative Alfdex g-Technology^TM

Alfdex fully embraces the urgent need for change and offers a green promise to the next generation. The company is pushing technical boundaries by developing new, ground-breaking solutions that target today’s demanding customer needs ‒ and contribute to a sustainable future. It’s green engineering in full blossom.

The Alfdex g-Technology^TM is based upon Alfa Laval’s and Alfdex’ long experience in centrifugal separator technology. Under the Alfdex g-Technology umbrella you find both the g-Cleaner and the g-Heater.

The Alfdex g-Cleaner, a world leading solution for separating particles and liquid droplets from gases. The majority of new heavy trucks in North America, China and Europe are using the Alfdex g-Cleaner. Today over 9 million heavy trucks, machines and buses are equipped with the g-Cleaner, thereby preventing over 100 million liters of oil from being released into the environment annually.

The new Alfdex g-Heater can be applied wherever clean heat is needed in transportation – from cab heating in a combustion engine driven truck, whether diesel or hydrogen, to battery heating for electric vehicles. The g-Heater features a highly effective and fuel independent combustion process. The big advantage is that: it produces hardly any harmful emissions. The technology is based on a leading-edge, patented technology platform featuring catalytic combustion of gaseous and liquid fuels.

This year marks a major anniversary for Alfdex since we are celebrating our 20th birthday!

Let’s start with the foundation, which was the idea to clean crankcase gases in engines using the centrifugal disc separator technology (in Alfdex today commonly referred to as g-Technology).

With this common goal, Alfa Laval and Haldex formed a joint venture which was publicly announced in 2004.

South Korea became the first target market due to new legislation and the relationship with Volvo (still lasting and growing today) started to thrive. The Alfdex g-Cleaner had been born!

Happy Holidays from everyone at Alfdex. We hope your holidays and next year will be filled with joy and prosperity.

Alfdex is excited to announce that we have recently added Automann USA, Inc. to our distribution network for Alfdex service kits in the United States and Canada! Automann is a trusted source for a vast offering of high-quality parts for commercial vehicles. Visit https://www.automann.com/ today or contact your local Automann retailer!

What do bees and Alfdex have in common? Perhaps more than you might imagine.

Like the honeybee, Alfdex is small, highly innovative and punches above its weight. We use the art of engineering and g-Technology to create smart and sustainable solutions that protect the environment. In their unique way, bees contribute to a healthy ecosystem through a vital process known as pollination. Smart solutions for a better world.

In the same spirit, we’ve invited a local beekeeper to use our roof as a base for his activities. Right now, he has a couple of hives, each housing an average of 50,000 to 80,000 honeybees. So, from top to bottom, our building is full of busy coworkers.

Have a great summer! And remember to always bee kind!

We are proud to announce our first prototype order for the new Alfdex g-Heater!

Launched at the IAA show in Hanover last year, the Alfdex g-Heater features a highly effective and fuel independent process for heating of battery packs and cabs on commercial vehicles.

The technology is based on a leading-edge, patented technology platform featuring catalytic combustion of gases and liquid fuels.

With this order Alfdex takes the next step into the future beyond fossil fuel dependent transports. The prototype will be delivered to a major truck OEM.

Alfdex AB has won a contract to supply electric and hydraulic disc separators to a major global truck and bus manufacturer. The contract establishes Alfdex’s position as a market leader in electric disc separator technology. Production is expected to start in 2025 and revenues in total are expected to exceed 2 BSEK over the coming decade.

Alfdex has a long history of leading the market and providing reliable and high-performing solutions for the active cleaning of crankcase gases in heavy-duty truck engines. With the onset of even more stringent emission legislation, such as Euro VII, as well as new demands for CO₂ reductions, Alfdex now supplies a range of electrically powered disc separators. These combine the robust, maintenance-free design of the original Alfdex separator with a state-of-the-art electric drive unit, enabling even higher performance and precise control via software.

“This contract shows that the market welcomes our next steps in developing new and improved generations of separators,” says Fredrik Larsson, CEO of Alfdex. “This latest generation of our g-Cleaner will provide our customers with even better performance and lower energy consumption. Most importantly, it will enable trucks and buses to lower their emissions which is beneficial from an environmental perspective.”
