Alfa Laval eDrive™

With Alfa Laval eDrive™, you simplify your separator’s drive system and cut energy costs. The design uses fewer rotating parts than conventional gear-driven systems, and its built-in oil quality control ensures more uptime, longer service intervals, higher energy efficiency, and lower maintenance costs.

Alfa Laval edrive gear drive systems for separators

Experience the benefits of Alfa Laval eDrive™:

  • Improved energy efficiency
  • More uptime
  • Minimal maintenance, longer intervals between service
  • Minimized operating costs
  • Reduced wear-related maintenance costs

How eDrive™ works

Alfa Laval eDrive™ minimizes total energy consumption by using both ends of the separator, allowing a small, energy-efficient motor to be placed inside the machine. Its direct-drive design features a single shaft with three bearings and an integrated oil quality control and cooling system. With fewer rotating parts than conventional gear-drive systems, eDrive™ delivers lower energy losses, consistent oil quality, reduced maintenance needs, and improved overall efficiency.
