LKH Prime

For higher pump efficiency and big energy savings, choose the Alfa Laval LKH Prime self-priming pump. Advanced design with air-screw pump technology makes handling Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) duties containing entrained air as well as pumping process media easy. This reduces capital investment. Like the Alfa Laval LKH pump range, the LKH Prime meets the most stringent requirements in the food, dairy, beverage, home and personal care industries. An extended performance envelope adds versatility.

Part of the LKH pump portfolio, the Alfa Laval LKH Prime self-priming pump combines advanced air-screw technology, optimized impeller and casing geometry for quiet, reliable operation, increased energy efficiency, a reduced carbon footprint. Its superior quality and performance improves operational productivity. Engineered from a solid bar without welds for smooth finish, the air-screw meets stringent hygienic standards and requirements. The self-priming pump has a mechanical seal without leachables, designed for CIP return applications containing air/gas and liquid mixture. The long seal life and lack of contamination increase productivity and yield.

High Pump Efficiency and Low Noise Level Optimizes Tank Emptying and Cip Return Applications

• Low process contamination risk – hygienic design, FDA-conforming materials and pre-defined compression USP class VI elastomers
• Improves yield and sustainability – use of energy and cleaning media and hydraulic design cuts energy costs and CO2/waste chemical emissions
• Maximized uptime and reduced maintenance costs – robust mechanical design and ease of maintenance with modular front-loading seals
• Reduced capital investment – designed for CIP duties containing entrained air but can also pump product, reducing need for additional pump
• Quiet operation compared to other technologies, providing a safe working environment for plant operators
