Alfa Laval MAB-103 centrifuge




If you decide to buy equipment at a low price, make sure that you communicate with the real seller. Find out as much information about the owner of the equipment as possible. One way of cheating is to represent yourself as a real company. In case of suspicion, inform us about this for additional control, through the feedback form.
Before you decide to make a purchase, carefully review several sales offers to understand the average cost of your chosen equipment. If the price of the offer you like is much lower than similar offers, think about it. A significant price difference may indicate hidden defects or an attempt by the seller to commit fraudulent acts.
Do not buy products which price is too different from the average price for similar equipment.
Do not give consent to dubious pledges and prepaid goods. In case of doubt, do not be afraid to clarify details, ask for additional photographs and documents for equipment, check the authenticity of documents, ask questions.
The most common type of fraud. Unfair sellers may request a certain amount of advance payment to “book” your right to purchase equipment. Thus, fraudsters can collect a large amount and disappear, no longer get in touch.
- Transfer of prepayment to the card
- Do not make an advance payment without paperwork confirming the process of transferring money, if during the communication the seller is in doubt.
- Transfer to the “Trustee” account
- Such a request should be alarming, most likely you are communicating with a fraudster.
- Transfer to a company account with a similar name
- Be careful, fraudsters may disguise themselves as well-known companies, making minor changes to the name. Do not transfer funds if the company name is in doubt.
- Substitution of own details in the invoice of a real company
- Before making a transfer, make sure that the specified details are correct, and whether they relate to the specified company.

Reconditioning Process (General Steps)
While the exact procedure might differ depending on the service provider, reconditioning an MAB 103 separator typically involves these steps:
1. Disassembly: The technician will disassemble the separator, meticulously following the manufacturer's instructions. Exclamation This involves removing various components like the bowl, frame hood, and drive shaft.
2. Inspection and Cleaning: Each component will be thoroughly inspected for wear and tear, cracks, or any other damage. Damaged parts may need replacement. All parts will be meticulously cleaned to remove oil residue and contaminants.
3. Repairs and Replacements: Worn-out parts like bearings, seals, or gaskets will be replaced with genuine Alfa Laval parts.
4. Reassembly and Balancing: The technician will carefully reassemble the separator, ensuring everything is in its proper place and torqued to the recommended specifications. exclamation The reassembled unit will then undergo a balancing procedure to ensure smooth operation with minimal vibration.
5. Testing and Documentation: Finally, the reconditioned separator will be test-run to verify its functionality and performance. The service provider will likely provide a report documenting the reconditioning process and any parts replaced.
Safety Precautions
Reconditioning an MAB 103 separator can involve handling heavy components and potentially hazardous materials. It's crucial to prioritize safety by following proper procedures and using the recommended tools and personal protective equipment (PPE).
For safe and reliable reconditioning, contacting an authorized Alfa Laval service center or a qualified centrifuge technician is recommended.
The machine in the image is actually an Alfa Laval MAB 103 oil purifier, not a water pump. It is a high-speed disc stack centrifuge. It contains a self-cleaning bowl for solid-liquid separation, which is essential in many mechanical separation processes. The rotational speed of the MAB 103 oil separator is much higher than that of other centrifugal oil separators. This allows it to separate even mixtures of two or more liquids with a minimal difference in density.
Alfa Laval MAB 103 oil purifier
The MAB 103 is widely used for purifying and clarifying mineral oils, low viscosity fuel oils (GO/MDO, MDO), engine oils, factory oils, and cleaning lubricating oils. It can also be used for synthetic oils in industrial applications. The Alfa Laval MAB 103 separator's rated capacity is 1,300 liters/hour (343 gallons/hour). For diesel oil (viscosity 13 cSt/40°C), a maximum capacity of 900 liters/hour (238 gallons/hour) is achievable.
