Dolphin Centrifuge supplies parts, repairs, and remanufactured Alfa Laval WHPX 510 self-cleaning disc stack centrifuges. The published marine-diesel application capacity is 10,700 L/h (47.11 US GPM) at 13 cSt and 40 C. The machine uses a 10 HP motor and operates at 5,180 RPM.
WHPX 510 Self-Cleaning Centrifuge
The Alfa Laval WHPX 510 is a self-cleaning disc stack centrifuge engineered for the continuous three-phase separation of fuels and oils. It simultaneously separates water, solids, and clean oil in a single pass, eliminating the need for multi-stage processing.
The WHPX 510 is one of the most versatile centrifuges in the Alfa Laval product line, handling everything from clean diesel fuel polishing to heavy waste oil reclamation. Its 10 HP motor drives the bowl at 5,180 RPM, delivering the centrifugal force needed for efficient separation across a wide range of viscosities.
Available in explosion-proof configurations for hazardous area installations, the WHPX 510 is a workhorse centrifuge found in re-refineries, fuel terminals, marine vessels, and industrial waste oil processing facilities worldwide.
Dolphin Centrifuge also provides complete used oil centrifuge systems and WVO centrifuge separators built around the WHPX 510 platform for waste vegetable oil and cooking oil purification.
Dolphin Centrifuge is the independent specialist in Alfa Laval centrifuges: remanufactured machines, turnkey systems, parts, and service, built on 40+ years of Alfa Laval experience and led by Sanjay Prabhu, M.S.M.E. Apart from Alfa Laval itself, Dolphin is the reliable source for quality Alfa Laval separators in this size class, including the WHPX 510 and its MOPX 209, MOPX 310, and MAPX 210 siblings. Every machine is stripped, rebuilt, balanced, and test-run in Dolphin's Warren, Michigan shop, and is supplied bare-shaft or as the complete DMPX-042 module. Dolphin is an independent remanufacturer and is not affiliated with Alfa Laval.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Dolphin equivalent of the Alfa Laval WHPX 510? ▼
The Dolphin DMPX-042 is a commercial system class that can be built around several documented Alfa Laval base machines, including the WHPX 510. Capacity must be stated for the selected base machine. A WHPX 510-based DMPX-042 has a published diesel application capacity of 10,700 L/h (47.11 US GPM) at 13 cSt and 40 °C.
What flow rate does the Alfa Laval WHPX 510 handle? ▼
For marine diesel at 13 cSt and 40 °C, the published WHPX 510 application capacity is 10,700 L/h (47.11 US GPM). The source table also lists a rated reference value of 16,000 L/h (70.45 US GPM), but does not identify its fluid, so it must not be presented as a diesel, water, or other application capacity. Heavy-fuel-oil and lube-oil figures vary with the exact fluid and temperature conditions.
Is the WHPX 510 self-cleaning or manual clean? ▼
The Alfa Laval WHPX 510 is a self-cleaning (automatic partial-discharge) disc stack centrifuge. The bowl automatically ejects accumulated sludge through timed discharge cycles without stopping the centrifuge. This allows continuous uninterrupted operation ideal for high-volume waste oil and diesel purification applications.
What industries use the WHPX 510 / DMPX-042 centrifuge? ▼
WHPX 510-based systems are used for fuel and oil separation duties such as diesel purification, marine fuel treatment, lube-oil purification, and industrial oil recovery. Final flow and separation performance depend on the exact fluid, viscosity, temperature, contamination, and required product quality.
Can Dolphin Centrifuge supply parts or rebuild the WHPX 510? ▼
Yes. Dolphin Centrifuge supplies genuine and compatible replacement parts for the WHPX 510, including disc stacks, seals, bearings, and discharge valve components. Complete bowl rebuilds and remanufactured WHPX 510 centrifuges are available. Each rebuilt unit is factory tested before shipment. Parts are supplied either as OEM Alfa Laval components or as quality-equivalent aftermarket parts, and every rebuild is tested in Dolphin's own Warren, Michigan shop. Dolphin Centrifuge is an independent remanufacturer and is not affiliated with Alfa Laval.
