The Alfa Laval EPC-400 is a microprocessor-based automatic control unit for Alfa Laval centrifugal separation systems. It is designed to control the complete separator sequence, including starting, separation, sludge discharge and stopping, while monitoring sensors and generating alarms. It also includes a PI temperature controller for controlling an Alfa Laval Heatpac electric heater or another heater with a control valve.

- Microprocessor-based automatic separator control.
- Programmable for different separator configurations.
- Controls complete separator operating sequences.
- Monitoring of sensors and process parameters.
- Automatic alarm generation when preset limits are exceeded.
- Built-in PI temperature controller.
- Supports Heatpac electric-heater control and other heater arrangements.
- Dedicated remote-control and alarm interfaces.
- RS-232C and 20 mA current-loop communication.
- IP65 enclosure for marine/industrial installation.
