Alfa Laval WHPX 407 — Partial-Discharge Disc-Stack Centrifuge
The Alfa Laval WHPX 407 Centrifuge is a self-cleaning disc-stack centrifuge designed for the three-phase separation of fuel oils, such as light fuel oil (LFO).
With a 10 HP Motor, the WHPX 407 centrifuge has a bowl RPM of 7,125 and can process 25 GPM of ISO 180 cSt Light Fuel Oil.
Also, the WHPX-407 is a partial-discharge centrifuge. This means that this centrifuge is capable of discharging only the accumulated sludge and minimizing fluid loss.
Alfa Laval WHPX-407 Applications
Similar to the Alfa Laval MOPX-207, the WHPX-407 finds many applications in all kinds of 3-phase separation duties. Some of the popular applications are:
Alfa Laval WHPX-407 Specifications
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Model Type | Alfa Laval WHPX 407 TGD 24-60 |
| Rated Capacity | 25 GPM on 180 cSt Light Fuel Oil |
| Sludge Space | 1.30 Gallons |
| Motor HP | 10 HP |
| Voltages | 230 / 460 V |
Alfa Laval WSPX 207 TGP — Partial-Discharge Disc-Stack Centrifuge
The Alfa Laval WSPX 207 Centrifuge is a self-cleaning disc-stack centrifuge designed for the three-phase concentration of water-based liquids such as machine coolants and washer liquids.
With a 7.5 HP Motor, the WSPX 207 centrifuge has a bowl RPM of 6,400 and can process 20 GPM of water-based machining coolant.
Alfa Laval WSPX-207 Applications
The Alfa Laval WSPX-207 is very similar to the WHPX-407, except that this centrifuge is a concentrator. A concentrator centrifuge is designed to separate a small oil volume from a large volume of water or water-based fluid. Some of the popular applications are:
- ➜ Machining Coolant
- ➜ Parts Washer Fluid
- ➜ Water-based Drawing Lubricant

What is the capacity of the Alfa Laval MOPX 207 centrifuge?
The Alfa Laval MOPX 207 can process 28 GPM of 13 cSt diesel fuel, 22 GPM of turbine lube oil, and 20 GPM of hydraulic oil. When processing distillate, the capacity increases to 32 GPM. It can also process over 30 Gallons per Minute of condensate, making it a highly versatile centrifuge for fuel and oil purification applications.
What is the difference between the MOPX 207, WHPX 407, and WSPX 207?
The MOPX 207 is a full-discharge purifier designed for fuel and mineral oil separation with a 7.5 HP motor and 6,325 RPM bowl speed. The WHPX 407 is a partial-discharge centrifuge with a larger 10 HP motor and 7,125 RPM bowl speed, designed for fuel oils like light fuel oil (LFO) at 25 GPM. The WSPX 207 is a concentrator designed for water-based liquids such as machine coolants and washer fluids, with a 7.5 HP motor and 6,400 RPM bowl speed processing 20 GPM. The partial-discharge models (WHPX and WSPX) minimize fluid loss during sludge ejection.
What materials is the MOPX 207 bowl made from?
The MOPX 207 bowl body and bowl hood are constructed from 316L Duplex Stainless Steel, as is the disc stack. The distributor (disc carrier) and top disc are made from Marine Grade Bronze, with 316 Stainless Steel available as a special order option. The top covers (collecting covers) are made from Silium, an aluminum alloy. The frame is Nodular Cast Iron. These materials are specifically selected for mineral oil and fuel separation applications.
Is the Alfa Laval MOPX 207 available in an explosion-proof configuration?
Yes, the Alfa Laval MOPX 207 is available in a Class 1 Division 2 explosion-proof configuration, making it suitable for hazardous environments where flammable fuels and solvents are processed. This explosion-proof variant, sometimes referred to as the MAPX-207, is commonly used in diesel fuel processing, biodiesel production, and other applications involving volatile hydrocarbons. Contact Dolphin Centrifuge for pricing and availability of explosion-proof MOPX 207 centrifuge systems.
What is the Dolphin Centrifuge equivalent of the Alfa Laval MOPX 207?
The Dolphin DMPX-028 is the complete system module equivalent of the Alfa Laval MOPX 207 centrifuge bowl. The DMPX-028 adds a full system frame, PLC controls, electric heaters, feed pump, and piping to the MOPX 207 bowl to create a turnkey centrifuge module rated at 20–28 GPM on diesel depending on configuration.
