Alfa Laval launches EnSaLine agitators for food & dairy efficiency. Alfa Laval has announced the launch of its new EnSaLine agitators, designed to deliver significant energy savings, simplified maintenance, and advanced industrial connectivity. The innovative agitator platform aims to transform hygienic production processes, traditionally known for high energy consumption and complex maintenance, enabling industries such as food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care to reduce operating costs and improve efficiency from day one. "The current fleet of hygienic agitators is ageing in many industries, and we wanted to offer a truly new and ground-breaking design that answers the need for effortless and efficient operation and maintenance", says Christian Jørgensen, Global Portfolio Manager, Mixing, at Alfa Laval. "By listening to feedback from our customers we rethought agitator design from the ground up and created the new EnSaLine range that sets a new and future-proof benchmark in hygienic production, maintaining high efficiency, while adding new benefits." 30 minutes service time - safe and easy. "Difficult and time-consuming maintenance procedures with heavy lifting and safety concerns were common issues in the customer feedback we received. Therefore, we designed EnSaLine agitators for effortless maintenance that can be carried out by one technician in just 30 minutes. There is no longer any need to enter the tank, which greatly improves safety during maintenance", said Christian Jørgensen. He explains that all EnSaLine seals and bearings are contained in one, replaceable cartridge to enable safe and easy maintenance. In addition, the unique EnSaLine shaft seal assembly reduces complexity and requires a minimal number of spare parts. Several of the innovative maintenance solutions have achieved patent protection. Energy savings of up to 80%. The EnSaLine agitators feature the unique EnSaFoil impellers that deliver higher efficiency than comparable technologies. The exceptional efficiency cuts mixing time and reduces energy consumption by up to 80%, increasing productivity and providing a typical pay-back time of less than two years. The EnSaFoil impeller design ensures gentle product treatment for high product quality and high yield. Inside the tank, the fully flushable design and the seal housing offer excellent cleanability and raise the bar for hygienic processing and product safety. Future-proof connectivity. The new range of EnSaLine agitators offers connectivity functionality for predictive maintenance. Sensors continuously monitor operating conditions to help avoid unplanned downtime, optimize service intervals, and ultimately extend the service life of equipment. Designed for fast configuration and installation. The EnSaLine platform is designed for simplified configuration and fast installation. The new design allows for competitive pricing, while high daily efficiency and easy maintenance lower operating costs.

Alfa Laval Prodec Oil Plus boosts corn oil recovery at Dakota Spirit Ethanol. Alfa Laval has introduced its patented Prodec Oil Plus technology for processing whole stillage at elevated temperatures, helping ethanol producers increase corn oil recovery. A US-based distillery has already reported extracting up to 30% more distillers' corn oil using the solution. Dakota Spirit Ethanol, based in Spiritwood, North Dakota, made the switch from extracting the DCO from the syrup after it has been concentrated in the evaporator to focusing instead on the whole stillage directly after the beer column - i.e., before stillage dewatering - so as to capture the oil that would otherwise be lost in the cake from the decanters. That switch was the result of a long-standing relationship and discussions with Alfa Laval, who were already supplying other technology at the plant but had identified an opportunity that they believed would deliver a rapid and highly beneficial return on investment. "Why not get that oil before it goes to the whole stillage decanter and becomes impregnated, and before you start creating unnecessary losses on the back end?" says Dennis Schoenwald, Business Development Manager - Ethanol and Biofuels Technologies with Alfa Laval. "This oil capture is super critical to the plant because it is paying lots of bills, and previously distillers would only be getting, at most, an additional 5% by adding an additional oil centrifuge at the syrup stage." The Alfa Laval solution is easy to use and simple to install, as it doesn't require complicated bolt-on technology and helps ethanol producers collect up to 99% of the free DCO found in the whole stillage. Unlike the stillage decanters, which are purpose-built to dewater the stillage and produce the driest possible cake, the Oil Plus decanters are designed to ensure that the solids are kept in suspension in the decanter so that the oil is not captured in a solids/cake layer but rather makes its way to the top of the slurry and then that oil layer is carefully skimmed off, leaving a de-oiled stillage slurry to be dewatered in the subsequent stillage decanters with minimum oil loss in the cake. The installation of the equipment in 2024 came after rigorous testing and analysis that confirmed the extensive benefits that would be delivered by Prodec Oil Plus. "The reason for the large-scale test was that everybody had been dealing with the syrup, which is like 70 to 100 gallons a minute per machine," says Stephen Ludes, a sales manager focused on agricultural processing at Alfa Laval. "By putting it through the full stillage flow, if you're a 100 million-gallon plant, that's 1,000 gallons a minute, so it represents significant capital expenditure up front, and the customer needed to justify the recovery and return in order to make the investment." The testing confirmed the major benefits, and there followed a year-long onsite test with a full-size machine before purchase, which gave the plant the opportunity to create a mass balance and assess if and how the technology would impact the production process. Results can differ from plant to plant, depending on factors such as temperature, whether a demulsifier is used, the amount of oil present in the corn crop, and the setup of the fermentation process, but Alfa Laval estimates DCO boosts of between 25 and 40% by using the Prodec 65 Oil Plus skimmer at the front end. Installation requirements are basic and include the decanter, as well as a surge tank to hold the whole stillage and a surge tank for storing corn oil, in addition to some pumps and venting equipment. Through testing and analysis, Alfa Laval can give producers an accurate estimate of the oil yield increase with Prodec Oil Plus, which helps them determine whether the investment makes sense financially.
