LKH is available in thirteen sizes, LKH-5, -10, -15, -20, -25, -35, -40, -45, -50, -60, -70, -85 and -90.

Standard design

The Alfa Laval LKH pump is designed for CIP with emphasis on large internal radii and cleanable seals. The hygienic version of LKH pump has a SUS shroud for protection of the motor, and the complete unit is supported on four adjustable SUS legs.

Shaft Seals

The LKH pump is equipped with either an external single or a flushed shaft seal.
