Shifting the benchmarks • More sludge treated, more efficiently

The innovative Alfa Laval ALDEC G2 decanter centrifuge
design has shifted the accepted benchmarks for dewatering
performance, providing an improvement of as much as 30%
compared with previous generations of decanter centrifuges.
This complete range features a compact, modular design
with all critical parts made of wear-resistant materials. The
result is reliable, continuous operation and easy, trouble-free
process control.
Easy to operate, easy to get results
The outstanding features of the ALDEC G2 design make it
easy to accomplish a wide range of performance targets.
G2 design
Current technology
• Greater processing capacity for any given equipment footprint
• Better process control
• High level of protection against erosion
• Low maintenance costs
• Low energy consumption
• Low life cycle costs
• Major savings on sludge disposal
Enhancement packages
In some cases, the economics of sludge treatment operation
can require the addition of one or more special Alfa Laval
enhancement packages. You can select between:
• enhanced dewatering package – achieve even greater cake
dryness and lower sludge disposal costs.
• enhanced wear protection package – maintenance costs
can be reduced still further by selecting more wear resistant
materials. This in turn extends service intervals.
• enhanced serviceability package – features that save you

provide additional functionality and varying degrees of
automation.

Design
Alfa Laval designed the ALDEC G2 decanter centrifuge with a
focus on performance, easy access, reliability and low noise
levels. The rotating assembly is supported on a compact
welded box beam frame with main bearings at both ends.
The in-line main motor is flange- or foot mounted onto the
unit with adjustable brackets for belt tension adjustment. The
bowl is driven at the conical end by an electric motor with a
V-belt transmission.
The bowl, conveyor, casing, inlet tube, outlets and other parts

Each ALDEC G2 unit is equipped with the G2 Core Controller
as standard. The G2 Core Controller controls the actions of
the Direct Drive so that its running conditions correspond
exactly to the solids load in the bowl. The G2 Core Controller
also monitors a wide range of parameters related to the run-

Direct drive
The drive system that is an integral part of the ALDEC G2
design was specially developed by Alfa Laval to make it pos-
sible to control the conveying speed automatically. This
ensures the best possible balance between liquid clarity and
solids dryness, irrespective of any variations in the feed flow
