Arem’s innovation extends beyond mechanics.
Thanks to Reverse Engineering, Arem designs and manufactures electronic control units compatible with ALFA LAVAL, GEA WESTFALIA, and other brand centrifugal separators, offering a smart retrofit solution for existing plants.
Our in-house technical know-how and production capacity allow Arem to combine precision mechanics with advanced electronic control, extending the machinery’s useful life and optimising performance.

What is Arem Reverse Engineering
Reverse Engineering is a methodology that enables us to:
- analyse and reconstruct existing control systems;
- develop new software and electronic interfaces;
- reproduce electronic components that are out of production or no longer supported by the original manufacturers;
- integrate modern automation logic onto older machines.
In this way, Arem offers its customers a second technological life for centrifugal separators, maintaining mechanical reliability while introducing more efficient digital management.

Design and manufacturing of control units
The new Arem control units are designed and tested in-house, guaranteeing:
- compatibility with Alfa Laval and GEA Westfalia separators;
- customisable configuration based on the plant type;
- intelligent management of separation parameters (discharge times, temperature, flow rate);
- simple and intuitive user interface;
- readiness for remote monitoring and predictive maintenance.
Each system is supplied complete with wiring diagrams, operating manuals, and technical support for installation.

Applications
Arem Reverse Engineering solutions find application in:
- naval and industrial plants;
- food and pharmaceutical sectors (CIP-ready);
- separation systems for the chemical sector;
- separation systems for the olive oil sector.
