Alfa Laval LKH Prime Pumps
Self-Priming Pumps For CIP and Product Transfer Duties
The Alfa Laval LKH Prime line of pumps is based on the market-leading LKH line, and is designed for quiet and efficient operation under the strictest hygienic conditions in the food and beverage, dairy, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries.
The flexibility of these self-priming pumps allows for the handling of process fluids, as well as tank-emptying and entrained air CIP duties. The LKH Prime line of pumps is the ideal replacement for the now-obsolete MR Liquid Ring line of pumps, offering higher efficiency and lower noise levels for CIP return applications. This leads to simplifications in piping and control system design, minimizing costs and contamination risk.
