To make the SEF router do what you want it to do, you have write your own router. You cannot, however, get rid of the component part of the URL.

Do do that, you do not need your own router, but a menu entry for each category. That menu does not have to be displayed, if you don't want to show it. The alias of that menu entry is then used for the SEF URL.
