High-Efficiency ATEX Centrifugal Pump Design

The LKHex Prime is designed to provide superior energy efficiency, which directly results in a reduced CO2 footprint for your facility. Its optimized construction features tight tolerances and an advanced impeller and airscrew design that minimize recirculation. This precision ensures that the pump operates with greater efficiency than similar self-priming models on the market. All media-contacting steel components, including the pump casing, impeller, airscrew, and recirculation pipe, are manufactured from W. 1.4404 (316L) stainless steel to ensure long-term durability and hygiene.

Reliable CIP Return Pump for Hazardous Zones

In process environments where explosive atmospheres are a concern, the LKHex Prime offers peace of mind with temperature class T3 and T4 certifications. It is specifically engineered to handle the challenges of tank emptying and CIP return where air may be present in the process lines. The pump features a semi-open impeller with a special vane design, ensuring smooth product handling. Furthermore, the unit operates remarkably quietly, improving the working environment for plant personnel while maintaining the most stringent hygienic design standards.

Built for Process Security and Maintenance

The construction includes a stainless steel shroud to protect the motor and four adjustable stainless steel legs for stable installation. A compression coupling securely attaches the stub shaft to the motor shaft with precision alignment to prevent vibration and wear. For added security, Alfa Laval offers an extended 3-year warranty on these pumps, covering all non-wear parts when genuine spare parts are utilized. While highly versatile for various liquids, please note this unit is not intended for pumping flammable media.
