Seital - SPX Centrifuge
Sinds 2016 we use a Seital - SPX Centrifuge on order to clarify and polish our beers. Before that we have used an Alfa Laval Centrifuge for over 25 years. Although we were quite pleased with this machine, we made an assement of 3 different brands (Alfa Laval, GEA and Seital). We finally choose the se 301 hbix-q3p2. The machine turned out to be OK, however getting the machine serviced is a real challenge. It is very hard to get response from either of the offices of SPX (Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium). Last time regular maintenance costed us 7.000,-- for 2 mecanics for 1 day, 1 mecanic was ok for the mecanical bit, the other was a trainee who had never seen a centrifuge being opened before. To replace a backlight led for the sight glass , I was recommended to call in a technician from Italy. We decided to replace it ourselves with a common 12 v led that worked fine. We didn't expect service and communication to be this challenging at at the moment we decided to order the SPX - Seital machine.
