Alfa Laval LKH-PF

Gentle product treatment

The centrifugal pumps are renowned for their ability to move products gently and efficiently. The integrity of your product is assured, regardless whether you choose a premium or standard-duty model. 

Advanced hygienic design

With emphasis on features such as optimized internal geometry and profiled o-rings, the centrifugal pumps are suitable for Cleaning In Place (CIP) and offer exceptional levels of hygiene. All have been tested in accordance with EHEDG requirements and many are authorized to carry the 3A symbol. 

Advanced seal design

The Alfa Laval centrifugal pump LKH premium pumps (models 5-60) and the SolidC standard-duty pumps share the same mechanical shaft seal. This implifies maintenance and spare parts inventory. Combined with the quick and easy front-loading design, this reduces maintenance costs, increases uptime and reduces the cost of ownership. 

Easy seal conversion

The external design of thecentrifugal pumps, as well as the seal’s construction, is designed to make seal conversion as fast and as simple as possible. The premium LKH pumps can be converted from single to flushed or double mechanical seals, while the standard-duty SolidC pumps can be converted from single to flushed shaft seals. 

Computer-designed impellers

The centrifugal pump impellers are computer designed and hydraulically balanced for optimum performance. Both the impellers and their retaining screws (optional) are smooth, which keeps them from accumulating product and makes cleaning more effective. 

Efficient performance

The centrifugal pumps consume less power and exhibit low noise levels. In addition, they minimize the risk of cavitation thanks to low NPSH requirements.

Premium pumps

Quiet but rugged, Alfa Laval’s LKH series of centrifugal pumps are the ultimate solution for gentle and efficient product handling. Through a combination of enlarged inlets and advanced impeller design, they offer an unobstructed product flow and very low NPSH requirements.
LKH pumps are designed for Cleaning In Place (CIP). Polished models are USDA approved and exceed 3A standards, so you can always be sure of the greatest possible hygiene. LKH pumps are available in capacities of up to 440 m³/h and pressures of up to 190 m (19 bar). Also different versions are available for specific applications.
