EPC 60 Retrofit

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Alfa Laval separators, including models like MAPX, MMPX, WHPX, MOPX, FOPX, LOPX, and MFPX, are equipped with older control systems that are challenging to assess for electrical component conditions. Damage to a single component can affect the entire system, leading to downtime. The common practice in the industry is to replace the entire card rather than identifying the faulty component.
Application
Alfa Laval offers the EPC 60 Retrofit kit to upgrade older control systems with modern technology. This kit is designed to replace older systems like IPC 231, EPC 30, EPC 41, and EPC 400, ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient operation, easier operation, prolonged system lifetime, and secured future spare parts supply.
Extending Separator Performance
The EPC 60 Retrofit kit features a space-saving design, modular I/O cards, and ease of operation and maintenance. It includes a built-in P & I temperature controller to maintain high separation efficiency. The kit is designed to fit into the existing space of the old control cabinet, allowing for easy upgrades.
EPC 60 Retrofit Features
The EPC 60 Retrofit kit modernizes control systems with components like the EPC 60 cabinet, pressure transmitters, surge protectors, and the MT 60 water transducer board. It is ready for future feature upgrades.
Installation and Operation
The kit offers a plug & play installation, requiring no welding or replacement of existing components like heaters, control valves, or starter cabinets. It introduces PLC-based functionality with an intuitive menu for easy navigation and parameter management, eliminating complex alarm codes and ensuring safer operation.
Fault Finding and Maintenance
The PLC system features self-diagnostic capabilities and modular I/O cards for easy troubleshooting and replacement. Faults trigger alarms and are indicated by flashing LEDs, allowing for quick I/O card replacement without tools.
Extended Service Lifetime
The EPC 60 Retrofit not only replaces the old control system but also upgrades the entire separation system, extending the lifetime of ancillary equipment and ensuring uptime and spare part availability through Alfa Laval’s global service network.
Efficient Cleaning
The kit supports CIP (cleaning in place) to maintain a clean bowl without dismantling, enhancing separation efficiency and preventing mechanical damage.

EPC 60 Retrofit-1

EPC 60 Retrofit State-of-the-art control for older centrifugal separators Background Alfa Laval separators, such as the MAPX, MMPX, WHPX, MOPX, FOPX, LOPX and MFPX, were developed decades ago and are equipped with older control systems. Unlike mechanical parts, it is difficult to assess the condition of the electrical components of these systems. Damage to a single component on a complex circuit board, for instance, can affect the entire separation system and cause downtime. Rather than wasting time to determine which electrical component­requires replacement, it is common practice in the marine and diesel industry to replace the entire card often without considering other options. Application As a leader at the forefront of marine separator automation and control systems, Alfa Laval offers a reliable way to upgrade older generations of its control systems with new state-of-the-art control technology. The Alfa Laval EPC 60 Retrofit kit is specifically designed to replace all Alfa Laval separator electronic control systems in older separators, including the IPC 231, EPC 30, EPC 41 and EPC 400. Modernizing previous generations of Alfa Laval separators and control systems with EPC 60 control technology: • nsures safe, reliable and efficient operation of E the ­separator • Makes the separator easier to operate • Prolongs separator system lifetime • Secures future spare parts supply Extending separator performance With its space-saving design, modular I/O cards and ease of operation and maintenance, the EPC 60 Retrofit kit is a solid choice for extending the life of older separation systems­ The kit easily mounts into the space occupied by . the old control­cabinet. Older generations of circuit boards are upgraded with modular I/O cards, which can easily be replaced in a matter of minutes. One of the features is the built in P & I temperature controller. It is always recommendable to use a P & I controller to secure a steady and high separation temperature on the oil, making sure the separation efficiency is as high as possible. The Alfa Laval EPC 60 Retrofit kit is a smart way to modernize the control systems of older separation systems. System components • PC 60 cabinet, which has the exact same size, E mounting­requirements and cable flanges for re-use of existing cables • Pressure transmitter with adapters to replace existing pressure­ switches • Surge protectors to be installed on existing solenoid valves to protect the EPC 60 components from peak voltages­ • MT 60 water transducer board replaces all the older boards and sensors for the ALCAP separators • The EPC 60 control system is ready to utilize coming fea
