- Easily tailored to meet specific tank/process requirements - modular design with hygienic materials increases flexibility and optimizes operation
- Reduced energy consumption – unique impeller design and product heat absorption makes ALB up to 400% more efficient than impellers with standard pitch
- Hygienic design and smooth surfaces meet EHEDG, USDA, FDA and 3-A standards
- Operates at low speeds without reducing pumping capacity – up to 80% less power consumption compared with conventional impellers
- High productivity – low wear and low maintenance (no dismantling or tank entry, for instance, to replace long-life seals and bearings)

ALS
The Alfa Laval ALS side-mounted agitator is suitable for atmospheric and pressurized tanks and comes in a range of sizes. The modular design and sizing options ensure an agitator fit-for-purpose so you won’t have to invest more than needed, enabling optimal power consumption. The ALS agitators are designed for easy CIP and can also be for use in sterile/aseptic and ATEX-certified applications.
We have versions for sterile/aseptic applications and optional equipment, including welding flange, blind flange, cover for motor/gear and spare part kit, for all ALS side-mounted agitators. ATEX certification and material certificates are available on request.
ALT
The Alfa Laval ALT top-mounted agitator is suitable for atmospheric and pressurized tanks and comes in a range of sizes. The modular design and sizing options means you won’t have to invest more than needed and can look forward to optimal power consumption. ALT agitators are designed for easy CIP and can also be configured for use in sterile/aseptic and ATEX-certified applications.
ALB
The Alfa Laval ALB bottom-mounted agitator is suitable for atmospheric and pressurized tanks and comes in a range of sizes. The modular design and choice of size ensures an agitator fit-for-purpose so you won’t have to invest more than needed and can look forward to optimal power consumption.
ALTB
The Alfa Laval ALTB top-mounted agitator is suitable for atmospheric and pressurized tanks and comes in various sizes. The addition of a bottom support stabilizes the shaft and ensures reliable operation. The range of sizing options means you can look forward to optimal power consumption.
