MBPX
Alfa Laval MBPX is a high-performance pharmaceutical centrifuge range engineered for the demanding needs of the pharmaceutical industry. Separation of suspended particles typically sized 0.5 – 500µm is highly efficient thanks to the unique gentle processing. The range includes machines from small batches and advanced separation systems to large-scale vaccine and probiotics production.
Experience the benefits of the MBPX separator range, designed for vaccine production
- High product yield with minimal losses
- Engineered to meet stringent hygiene requirements
- High separation efficiency reduces fouling of downstream polishing filters
- Foam free and gentle process
MBPX separators are used in the production of vaccines and other biopharmaceutical products, typically for clarification processes, such as harvesting microbial cells, cell cultures, and precipitated proteins.
What makes MBPX unique?
Hermetic Design™
Thanks to the unique Hermetic Design™, the MBPX separator achieves gentle, foam-free processing, resulting in high yield and minimal product losses. The fully hermetic conditions also enhance hygienic design by ensuring all contact surfaces are wetted during CIP (Cleaning-in-Place). Additionally, the airtight bowl improves fluid dynamics, reducing power consumption by up to 60% compared to non-hermetic alternatives.
UniDisc™
Alfa Laval UniDisc™ increases disc area for improved separation capacity by up to 30%, while at the same time providing an easy to clean design and never-before-seen degree of hygiene.
Customized pharmaceutical centrifuge systems
MBPX separators are available as fully automated, customized pharmaceutical centrifuge systems that prioritize both safety and processing efficiency. Smaller units come as skid-mounted solutions, while larger systems are offered as modular setups. These include piping and service liquid components, electrical control systems, and PLCs — all pre-assembled and factory-tested for optimal reliability.
