Fault finding made easy

The PLC has functional modules stored on separate I/O

cards rather than on one large circuit board. Self-diagnostic

capabilities enable faster and easier troubleshooting and

I/O replacement, if required. Should a fault occur in the

PLC system , an alarm alerts the operator and, upon opening

the cabinet door, a flashing red LED indicates the faulty

component . I/O card replacement requires less than a

minute and no tools or cables are required.

Extended service lifetime of entire separation system

EPC 60 Retrofit not only replaces the old control system

but upgrades the entire separation system. Replacing old

electronic components such as pressure switches with

modern  components extends the lifetime of the ancillary

equipment and ensures separator uptime as well as spare

part availability. Alfa Laval’s global service network and

spare parts supply chain ensures prompt delivery of parts

or service around the world.

Efficient cleaning

Utilizing the benefits with CIP (cleaning in place) secure a

clean bowl without dismantling. Regular cleaning provides

higher separation efficiency  and prevents mechanical

damage  caused by manual  cleaning or, in the worst case

scenario , by bowl imbalance resulting from an uneven

sludge discharge.
