Number one in crankcase ventilation

A company started by Alfa Laval and Haldex

The glimmering idea

In 1997 Volvo Penta approached Alfa Laval about an idea on cleaning crankcase gases with a separator.

Exhaust gases

Alfdex focus on engine Blow-by

Blow by gas

With an open Blow-by such engine emits some 25-30 liters of oil per annum.

Open Blow-by

A typical solution from the past

Cyclones: Has a long lifetime but low efficiency

Filters: Medium efficiency but short lifetime and require maintenance

Traditional solutions

Alfdex principle and solution

Gas inlet - Escaping oil mist from crankcase

Gas outlet – Cleaned by Alfdex

Pressurized lube oil feed to rotate turbine wheel

Return of drive oil and separated oil to the engine

High-speed rotation at ~8000 rpm

2 500G

Closed or Open Crankcase ventilation

A cleaning device with high performance is needed in both applications

CCV OCV

Alfa Laval needed a partner

Alfa Laval needed to find a partner within the automotive industry.

– The new partner

Haldex became that partner and later on Alfdex was formed as a joint venture.

These are the customers we do not have!

Why successful?

1. Two competencies, one knowing the technology the other the market.

2. Governance at the right level, the board members from the group management leaving the Alfdex management to govern the company.

3. Of course, the right product at the right time supported by strong patents.

4. As always, blood, sweet & tears.

Thank you!
