Achievements In 2008, Alfa Laval celebrated its 125th anniversary. With the help of some of the most important milestones, you can follow Alfa Laval’s growth towards the large international group it has become today. 1845 Alfa Laval’s founder, Gustaf de Laval, is born in the province of Dalarna in Sweden. 1877 After reading an article in the German periodical, Milchzeitung, Gustaf de Laval starts to work on the development of a centrifugal separator. 1879 The first continuous separator is demonstrated in Stockholm. This separator has a capacity of 130 litres per hour. 1883 Gustaf de Laval and his partner, Oscar Lamm, establish the company AB Separator. The De Laval Cream Separator Co. is formed in the U.S. which is the start of a continuously growing international establishment. 1888 The first pumps are sold. They are used to pump skimmed milk from the centrifugal separator. 1889 The German inventor, Clemens von Bechtolsheim’s patent for conical metal discs is acquired. By using these so called Alfa-discs, the separator’s capacity is increased many times over. 1890 Alfa Laval introduces the world’s first continuous separator using the Alfa disc stack technology. The first continuous milk pasteurizer is introduced. 1898 The first yeast separator is installed in a customer’s production line. 1910 Gustaf de Laval begins to work on the design of a milking machine. 1913 Gustaf de Laval dies at the age of 67. During his lifetime, he acquires 92 Swedish patents and establishes 37 companies. His memorial is engraved with the inscription: “The Man of High Speed”. 1916 Alfa Laval sells the first separator for oil purification. 1919 – 1936 Subsidiaries are formed in Denmark, South Africa, Finland, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Yugoslavia and Ireland. 1933 The world’s first hermetic separator is introduced by Alfa Laval at an exhibition in Berlin. 1938 Alfa-Laval introduces its first heat exchanger. Pontus Hytte, son of the famous Swedish painter Carl Larsson, moves the development and production of heat exchangers to Lund. 1951 Sales of the “self-cleaning” centrifugal separator and decanter centrifuges begins. 1958 The first automatic CIP (Cleaning-In-Place) system is installed in a Swedish dairy. 1961 The first sterilization processing system is installed in Italy. This marks a major breakthrough in the dairy and liquid food-processing sector.
