Alfa Laval Clarifier – Clara 80
When producers of wine and other beverages consider using a separator for clarification purposes, flexibility and ease of operation are important issues. In production plants, the way such a separator is to be installed is also crucial. The unique design of the CLARA 80 mobile separation unit features a very small footprint, which reduces the amount of floor space needed. In order to speed up the start-up process and simplify subsequent operation, the CLARA 80 unit is delivered as a complete fully equipped system ready to install. This centrifuge is highly efficient, and provides users with an environmentally friendly alternative to earth filters.
