The Sharples P-3000 decanter centrifuge is a horizontal de-sludging centrifuge built for the two-phase separation of liquid from voluminous sludge. With a 14" bowl rotating at 4,000 RPM, the P-3000 exerts 3,150 G-force for efficient solid-liquid separation.
With a 15 HP Motor, the P 3000 decanter can process 25 GPM on wastewater sludge thickening.
The Sharples decanter line is now part of Alfa Laval, so a P-3000 is an Alfa Laval platform machine today. Dolphin Centrifuge is the independent specialist in Alfa Laval centrifuges: we buy, remanufacture, stock, and support used Sharples P-3000 decanters alongside Alfa Laval NX and ALDEC machines, rebuilt and test-run at our Warren, Michigan shop and shipped with a 12-month mechanical warranty and ongoing technical support for the original purchaser. Every system is engineered by Sanjay Prabhu, M.S.M.E. Dolphin is an independent remanufacturer and is not affiliated with Alfa Laval.

Used and Remanufactured Sharples P-3000 Decanters
Apart from Alfa Laval itself, Dolphin is the reliable source in the United States for quality Sharples and Alfa Laval decanters. We buy used P-3000 machines, strip and inspect them, replace bearings and seals, rebuild or hard-surface the conveyor, balance the rotating assembly, and test-run the unit before shipment. A remanufactured P-3000 typically costs 40% to 60% of a comparable new decanter.
Units can be supplied bare-shaft or as a complete module with base frame, feed pump, VFD drives, and a PLC control panel. Every machine ships with a 12-month mechanical warranty, on-site startup and training, and ongoing technical support for the original purchaser. Call (248) 522-2573 or email [email protected] to check current P-3000 availability, or see our full decanter centrifuge line.
