Housings

Alfa Laval sanitary, stainless steel housings are designed to withstand high operating temperatures (up to 80°C), and working pressures of up to 64 bar. The housing features are low energy consumption and an absolute minimum of by-pass flow, because of an extremely accurate, high-tolerance machining.

Easy to use

The design of these housings makes it easy to quickly swap out the spiral elements, keeping any processing disruption and downtime to a minimum. They are light in weight and have only a small internal volume, with large ports and an ideal flow distribution.

The units are designed for space-saving rack mounting.

Easy to select

Alfa Laval housings are designed with different inner diameters which corresponds to the outer diameter of the Alfa Laval spiral membranes that are available for installation in these housings, for use in microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis. Currently, Alfa Laval offers spiral membranes in the inch-sizes of 2.5, 3.8, 3.9, 6.3, 8.0 , 8.3 and 8.4.

Also the total number of spiral membranes, which can be loaded into one single Alfa Laval housing, is flexible. Alfa Laval housings can hold up to 5 spiral membranes, depending on the inner diameter of the housing and and the working pressure applied. Alfa Laval housings are available with various pressure ratings, dependant upon the application, from PN10 to PN64.

Other types of housings are available from Alfa Laval on request.
