Added value with ConditionAlert

ConditionAlert helps you deliver on committed production plans, avoiding stress from unplanned stops for your crew.
Working together with Alfa Laval, you also get assurance of continuous improvements of machine availability.


A unique analysis model for valuable insight

The true value of ConditionAlert comes from the ability to identify when there is a need for service or when a part needs replacing. This enables you to both avoid unplanned stops and extend the interval between service periods, which translates to maximum uptime and minimum maintenance costs.

All of this is made possible by unique analysis models based on machine-specific data as well as historically measured data from the same types of machines installed around the world. The analysis models act as the brain of ConditionAlert. ConditionAlert thus allows you to take full advantage of Alfa Laval’s decades of experience and unique expertise in separation technologies.

The value of saving one day’s production

With real-time insight and early warnings, ConditionAlert is a very profitable investment in your business’s uptime.
In the cases below, two businesses in two different industries using ConditionAlert prevented unplanned stops in their production.

  Large brewery (mostly lager beer) Large refinery (feed stock soy beans)
Output 15000 hl/day 1250 tons/day
Profit loss from one day’s unplanned stop KEUR 1200-1800/day KEUR 80-120/day
Annual cost of ConditionAlert for three separators vs one day’s profit loss <1% <10%


How ConditionAlert™ works

ConditionAlert™ uses built-in sensors to monitor vibration levels and other signals in real time. Through advanced frequency analysis and comparison with Alfa Laval’s global database, it identifies abnormal patterns and pinpoints potential issues. When irregularities occur, early warning messages are sent to you and your local Alfa Laval service team by email or text, allowing quick response and efficient planning.
You can monitor the trends and status of the installed separators’ condition at any moment, in real-time, on a web interface. ConditionAlert can also monitor temperature and other signals to give you additional insights into the condition of your separator.

How do I use ConditionAlert?

Plan your maintenance more efficiently using the insights you gain from ConditionAlert, in collaboration with the expert guidance from your local Alfa Laval service team:

  • ConditionAlert sends an early warning if a rotating component in the separator is not functioning properly. Instead of having to address an unplanned stop, you therefore get early notice to better plan ahead for service and check that all necessary parts are available.
  • If you need to extend the operation of the separator beyond your next planned service, ConditionAlert can help by continuously monitoring the condition of the machine.

What needs to be installed?

  • Your separator is equipped with additional sensors and a small data acquiring unit, which is connected to a control panel where data is analyzed.
  • Your control panel has an HMI for visualization of status and trends on site, and up to ten separators can be connected to it. The control panel sends data to the Alfa Laval IoT portal.
  • You can get the best possible overview of your separators at all production sites by logging into the portal to access data trends.
