 2 Safety Instructions

The centrifuge includes parts that rotate at high

speed. This means that:

• Kinetic energy is high

• Great forces are generated
• Stopping time is long
Manufacturing tolerances are extremely fine.
G0010421
Rotating parts are carefully balanced to
reduce undesired vibrations that can cause
a breakdown. Material properties have been
considered carefully during design to withstand
stress and fatigue.

The separator is designed and supplied for a

specific separation duty (type of liquid, rotational
speed, temperature, density etc.) and must not
be used for any other purpose.

Incorrect operation and maintenance can result

in unbalance due to build-up of sediment,
reduction of material strength, etc., that
subsequently could lead to serious damage
and/or injury.

The following basic safety instructions therefore

apply:

• Use the separator only for the purpose and

parameter range specified by Alfa Laval.
Applies not only to the process but also to
cleaning and service liquids.
• Strictly follow the instructions for
installation, operation and maintenance.
• Ensure that personnel are competent and
have sufficient knowledge of maintenance
and operation, especially concerning
emergency stopping procedures.
• Use only Alfa Laval genuine spare parts and
the special tools supplied.

11
 2 Safety Instructions

Disintegration hazards
• When power cables are connected, always
check direction of motor rotation. If incorrect,
vital rotating parts could unscrew.

• If excessive vibration occurs, stop separator and

keep bowl filled with liquid during rundown.

• Use the separator only for the purpose and

parameter range specified by Alfa Laval.

• Check that the gear/pulley ratio is correct for

power frequency used. If incorrect, subsequent
overspeed may result in a serious break down.

• Welding or heating of parts that rotate can

seriously affect material strength.

• Inspect regularly for corrosion and erosion

damage. Inspect frequently if process or
cleaning liquid is corrosive or erosive.

Entrapment hazards
• Make sure that rotating parts have come to a
complete standstill before accessing parts
inside the machine or starting any dismantling
work.

• To avoid accidental start, switch off and lock

power supply before starting any dismantling

 3 Basic Principles of Separation

3.1 Introduction
The purpose of separation can be:

• to free a liquid of solid particles,

• to separate two mutually insoluble liquids with
different densities while removing any solids
presents at the same time,
• to separate and concentrate solid particles from
a liquid.
3.2 Separation by gravity
A liquid mixture in a stationary bowl will clear
slowly as the heavy particles in the liquid mixture
sink to the bottom under the influence of gravity.

A lighter liquid rises while a heavier liquid and

solids sink.

G0870111

Continuous separation and sedimentation can

be achieved in a settling tank having inlet and
outlet arranged according to the illustration.

Heavier particles in the liquid mixture will settle C

and form a sediment layer on the tank bottom.

3.3 Centrifugal separation

In a rapidly rotating bowl, the force of gravity
is replaced by centrifugal force, which can be
thousands of times greater. A
B
Separation and sedimentation is continuous and
happens very quickly.

The centrifugal force in the separator bowl can

achieve in a few seconds what takes many
hours in a tank under influence of gravity.

The separation efficiency is influenced

by changes in the viscosity, separating
temperatures and in throughput. C

3.4 Separating temperatures

For some types of process liquids a high
separating temperature will normally increase
the separation capacity. The temperature
influences viscosity and density and should be
kept constant throughout the separation.

Viscosity Density difference

Viscosity is a fluids resistance against movement. Density is mass per volume unit. The greater the
Low viscosity facilitates separation. Viscosity can density difference between the two liquids, the
be reduced by heating. easier the separation. The density difference can
be increased by heating.

4.1 Overview 4 Design and Function

4.1 Overview
The separator comprises a process section and
a drive section powered by an electric motor.

The separator frame comprises a lower body

and a frame hood. The motor is attached to the
frame. The frame feet dampen vibration.

The bottom part of the separator contains a flat

belt transmission, a centrifugal clutch and a
vertical spindle. The lower body also contains
an oil sump for lubrication of spindle bearings.

The inlet and outlet device contains the

processing parts of the separator; the inlets,
outlets and piping.

The process liquid is cleaned in the separator

bowl. The bowl is fitted on the upper part of a
vertical spindle and rotates at high speed inside
the frame hood. The bowl also contains the
discharge mechanism which empties the sludge
during operation.

A speed sensor (option) and an unbalance

sensor (option) are part of the equipment for
monitoring the separator functions.

4 Design and Function 4.2 The drive section

4.2 The drive section

The separator bowl is driven by an electric
motor via a belt transmission. The belt pulley on
the motor shaft includes a centrifugal clutch.

The centrifugal clutch (2) with friction pads

ensures a gentle start and smooth acceleration,
and at the same time prevents overloading of
the belt and motor.

To reduce bearing wear and the transmission

of bowl vibrations to the frame and foundation,
the top bearing of the bowl spindle is mounted
in a spring dampened bearing seat (3). The
bearings on the spindle are lubricated by the
oil spray produced by an oil mist generator
mounted on the lower end of the spindle.

The flat belt (1) transmission has a ratio

which increases the bowl speed several times
compared with the motor speed.

4.3.2 Separator bowl

The separator bowl, with its sludge discharge
mechanism, is built-up as follows:

The bowl body and bowl hood are held together

by a lock ring (Centrilock). Inside the bowl are
the distributor and the disc stack. The disc
stack is kept compressed by the bowl hood.
The discharge slide forms a separate bottom
in the bowl body.

The upper space between the bowl hood and

the top disc forms the water chamber. From
here the separated water is discharged through
holes in the bowl hood.
17

The oil paring chamber, with its paring disc, is
16 2
located inside the top of the distributor. From 3
15
here the cleaned oil is pumped out of the bowl. 4
The sludge space is in the bowl periphery. The 5
bowl is kept closed by the discharge slide, which
seals against a seal ring in the bowl hood. 6

At fixed intervals, decided by the operator, the 7

discharge slide drops down to empty the bowl 8
of sludge.
9
The sludge discharge mechanism, which
controls the movement of the discharge slide, 10
is comprised of an operating slide and an 14
operating water ring. Passive parts are: nozzle

4.3 The process section 4 Design and Function

Purifier bowl
The illustration shows the characteristic part 0

of the purifier bowl, the gravity disc. The disc

should be chosen according to directions in
“Selection of gravity disc”.

The gravity disc determines the interface

position in a purifier bowl.

A purifier bowl has two liquid outlets, oil and

water.

G06855A1

Position of interface
An interface (1) is formed between the oil and
water in the bowl. In order to achieve optimum
separation of the oil, the interface must be
maintained in the correct position, which is
between the disc stack and the outer edge of
the top disc. If the interface moves outside the
outer edge of the top disc the water seal will
break and oil will be discharged with the water.
An interface positioned inside the disc stack will
cause bad separation results.
1
The position of the interface is adjusted by
altering the pressure balance of the liquid G00470C1
phases oil and water inside the separator, which
is done by exchanging the gravity disc. For this
purpose a number of gravity discs with various
hole diameters are delivered with the separator.

26
4 Design and Function 4.3 The process section

A. Correct interface position

B. Wrong interface position - broken water seal
C. Wrong interface position - bad separation

G0011721

27
4.3 The process section 4 Design and Function

Factors influencing the interface position

1 – Oil viscosity, density and throughput

Oil with high density and/or high viscosity,

as well as high throughput, will position the
oil/water interface closer to the bowl periphery
than for oil with low properties.

G0011821

A. High viscosity/density/throughput
B. Low viscosity/density/throughput

2 – Gravity disc

To compensate for the above factors the

interface is adjusted to a correct position by
altering the outlet for the water, i.e. exchanging
the gravity disc. Changing to a gravity disc with
a larger hole diameter will move the interface
towards the bowl periphery, whereas, a disc with
a smaller hole diameter will move the interface
closer to the bowl centre.

G0011921

A. Gravity disc with large hole diameter

B. Gravity disc with small hole diameter

3 – Excessive back pressure.

Excessively high back pressure in the oil outlet

prevents the oil from being pumped out. The
inner oil level will then move towards centre
of the bowl and, at the same time, push the
oil/water interface outwards towards the bowl
periphery. The effect is a wrong interface
position, which may cause broken water seal.

G0012021

A. Excessive back pressure

B. Normal back pressure

28
4 Design and Function 4.3 The process section

Clarifier bowl
The illustration shows the characteristic part of 0

the clarifier bowl. In clarification the gravity disc

is replaced by a so called clarifier disc, i.e. a
disc with the smallest possible hole diameter
(Ø) which seals off the water outlet. No liquid
seal is needed when clarifying.

G06855B1

29
4.3 The process section 4 Design and Function

4.3.3 Selection of gravity disc

The separator is delivered with a set of gravity
discs.

Clarification
When running the separator as a clarifier, select
the gravity disc with the smallest hole diameter,
the so-called clarifier disc. See the Spare Parts
Catalogue for correct hole diameter.

Purification
A number of gravity discs are delivered for 0

operating the separator as a purifier. The

diameter of a gravity disc sets the position
of the oil-water interface in the separator.
The separation efficiency can be optimized
by selection of the correct diameter for each
process.

When selecting a gravity disc the general rule is

to use the disc having the largest possible hole
without causing a break of the water seal.

The heavier or more viscous the light phase

(oil) and the larger the liquid feed the smaller
the diameter should be.

G06855A1

To remove more of the light phase (oil) from

the heavy phase (water), the interface should
be placed nearer the bowl centre, however not
inside the outer edge of the discs (too small
gravity disc), as this would prevent the liquid
flow.

For a more detailed description of the interface

position, see Purifier bowl on page 26.

Some gravity discs have four small holes drilled

outside the large hole. You must pay regard to
these holes when measure the diameter Ø, see
the illustration. Measure between the centres
of the holes.

All gravity discs have their diameters stamped

on them. G0732921

30
4 Design and Function 4.3 The process section

As an aid, use the nomogram to find the correct

gravity disc. It can be used when the density
of the oil at a temperature of 15 °C is known.
However, note that the nomogram is purely
theoretical. In practical operation, practice the
following general rule:

1. Fit a gravity disc one size larger than the

recommended in the nomogram.
2. Run the separator.
3. Observe if oil flows through the sludge outlet.

- If Yes, stop the separator and fit the next smaller

gravity disc.
- If No, stop the separator and fit the next larger
gravity disc.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 above until having the gravity
disc with the largest hole diameter without
causing a break of the water seal.

4.5 Separating function

The separator separates water and solids from
the uncleaned oil. Water normally leaves the
separator through the water outlet. During
sludge discharge, solids (sludge) and water are
removed through the discharge ports.

4.5.1 The liquid balance in the bowl

The liquid levels in the bowl depend on many 1
factors (bowl geometry, liquid densities, flow 2
rates etc.). To get a picture of how the liquids A
are distributed in the bowl, imagine that the bowl
is at standstill and turned 90° (only influenced 3
by gravity). The bowl can now be compared 7
with a settling tank: 4

4.5.2 Liquid flow

Unseparated oil is fed into the bowl through the
inlet pipe and travels via the distributor towards
the periphery of the bowl.

When the oil reaches slots in the disc stack, it

rises through the channels formed by the disc
stack, where it is evenly distributed.

The oil is continuously cleaned as it travels

towards the centre of the bowl. When the
cleaned oil leaves the disc stack, it flows through
a number of holes in the distributor and enters
the oil paring chamber, over a level ring. From
here it is pumped by the oil paring disc, and
leaves the bowl through the oil outlet. Separated
water, sludge and solid particles, which are
heavier than the oil, are forced towards the
periphery of the bowl and collect in the sludge
space.

The space between the bowl hood and top disc,

as well as the water chamber, is filled with water,
which flows over the gravity disc through holes
in the bowl hood.

6.6 Oil change

NOTE

The separator should be level and at standstill when

oil is filled or the oil level is checked

6.6.1 Lubricating oil

Do not mix different oil brands.

Always use clean vessels when handling

lubricating oil.

Great attention must be paid not to contaminate

the lubricating oil. Of particular importance is to
avoid mixing of different types of oil. Even a few
drops of motor oil mixed into a synthetic oil may
result in severe foaming.

Any presence of black deposits in a mineral

type oil is an indication that the oil base has
deteriorated seriously or that some of the oil
additives have precipitated. Always investigate
why black deposits occurs.

If changing from one oil brand to another it is

recommended to do this in connection with an
overhaul of the separator. Clean the oil bath
housing and the spindle parts thoroughly and
remove all deposits before filling the new oil.

NOTE

Always clean and dry parts (also tools) before

lubricants are applied.

8.4 Interface Description

Alfa Laval ref. 577519 Rev. 1

8.4.1 Scope
This document gives information, requirements
and recommendations about operational
procedures and signal processing for safe and
reliable operation of the separator. It is intended
to be used for designing auxiliary equipment
and control system for the separator.

8.4.2 References
This Interface Description is one complementary
document to the separator. Other such
documents that contain necessary information
and are referred to here are:

• Interconnection Diagram
• Connection List
• Technical Data
• Operating Water Interface
Standards referred to are:
• EN 418 Safety of machinery - Emergency stop
equipment, functional aspects - Principles of
design
• EN 1037 Safety of machinery - Prevention of
unexpected start-up
• EN 954-1 Safety of machinery - Safety related
parts of control systems - Part 1 General
principles for design.

8.4.3 Definitions
For the purpose of this document, the following
definitions apply:

• Synchronous speed: The speed the machine

will attain when it is driven by a three-phase
squirrel-cage induction motor and there is no
slip in the motor and the drive system.
• Full speed: The synchronous speed minus
normal slip.

186
8 Technical Reference 8.4 Interface Description

8.4.4 Goal
To eliminate situations that can cause harm,
i.e. injury, damage to health or property and
unsatisfactory process result are e.g.:

Situation Effect
Unbalance caused by uneven sediment Too high stress on bowl and bearing system
accumulation in the bowl. which might cause harm.
Too high bowl speed. Too high stress on bowl which might cause harm.
Access to moving parts. Can cause injury to person who accidentally
touches these parts.
Insufficient cleaning of separator. Unsatisfactory product quality.
Bowl leakage. Product losses.

Information and instructions given in this

document aim at preventing these situations.

Control and supervision can be more or less

comprehensive depending on the type of used
control equipment. When a simple control unit
is used it would be impossible or too expensive
to include many of the functions specified here
while these functions could be included at nearly
no extra cost when a more advanced control
unit is used. For this reasons functions that
are indispensable or needed for safety reasons
to protect the machine and/or personnel are
denoted with shall while other functions are
denoted with should.

8.4.5 Description of separator modes

For control purposes the operation of the
separator should be divided into different
modes.

The normally used modes are described below

but other modes might exist.

It is assumed that:

• The separator is correctly assembled.

• All connections are made according to
“Connection List”, “Interconnection Diagram”
and “Interface Description”.
• The separator control system is activated.
If above conditions are not fulfilled the separator
will be in SERVICE mode.

187
8.4 Interface Description 8 Technical Reference

STAND STILL means:

• The power to the separator motor is off.

• The bowl is not rotating.
STARTING means:

• The power to the separator motor is on.

• The bowl is rotating and accelerating.
RUNNING means:

• The power to the separator motor is on.

• The bowl is rotating at full speed.
• RUNNING is a collective denomination for a
number of sub modes which e.g. can be:

- STAND BY: Separator is in a waiting mode and

not producing.
- PRODUCTION: Separator is fed with product
and producing.
- CLEANING: Separator is fed with cleaning
liquids with the intention to clean the separator.
STOPPING means:

• The power to the separator motor is off.

• The bowl is rotating and decelerating.
• STOPPING is a collective denomination for a
number of sub modes which e.g. can be:

- NORMAL STOP: A manually or automatically

initiated stop.
- SAFETY STOP: An automatically initiated stop
at too high vibrations.
- EMERGENCY STOP: A manually initiated stop
at emergency situations. This stop will be in
effect until it is manually reset.

188
8 Technical Reference 8.4 Interface Description

8.4.6 Remote start

This machine may be started from a remote
location under the following conditions:

• First start after any kind of service or manual

cleaning must be supervised locally in order to
ensure that no mistakes has been made during
assembly.
• The unbalance sensor is mandatory for remote
start.
• The speed sensor is mandatory for remote start.
• The installation must include equipment to
prevent unintentional start-up from remote
location when the machine is disassembled.
• The installation must include equipment to
prevent unintentional start of process flow
from remote location when the machine is not
properly connected to the piping.

8.4.7 Handling of connection interfaces

Electrical connections
701 Separator motor

The separator is equipped with a 3-phase

DOL-(direct on line) started motor. The
separator can also be started by a Y/D
starter, but then the time in Y-position must be
maximised to 5 seconds.

There shall be an emergency stop circuit

designed according to EN 418 and a power
isolation device according to EN 1037.

There shall be a start button close to the

separator that shall be used for first start after
assembly of the separator.

There should be a counter to count number of

running hours.

There should be a current transformer to give

an analogue signal to the control unit about the
motor current.

740 Speed sensor (Option)

A proximity sensor of inductive type according

to Namur standard is giving a number of pulses
per revolution of the bowl (see Connection List).

189
8.4 Interface Description 8 Technical Reference

Signal processing in STARTING:

• The separator should be stopped automatically

according to NORMAL STOP procedure
and an alarm should be given when the
accumulated time for acceleration is longer
than the maximum time specified in “Technical
Data”. An abnormal start time indicates some
malfunction of the separator equipment and
should be investigated.
• When the “Maximum allowed speed” is
exceeded an alarm shall be given initiating a
NORMAL STOP.
• The speed monitoring system shall be checked
continuously (e.g. by checking that pulses
are coming). In case of failure indication the
separator shall be stopped automatically by
NORMAL STOP with a timer controlled stop
sequence and an alarm for speed monitoring
system failure shall be given.
• The acceleration should be supervised to
ensure that a certain speed (e.g. 250 r/minute)
has been reached within a certain time (e.g. 30
seconds).
Signal processing in RUNNING:

• When the “Maximum allowed speed” is

exceeded an alarm shall be given initiating a
NORMAL STOP.
• If the speed falls more than 10 % below the
synchronous speed for a period longer than 1
minute or 15 % during more than 5 seconds a
low speed alarm should be given. Low speed
indicates some malfunction of the separator
equipment and shall be investigated.
• The speed monitoring system shall be checked
continuously (e.g. by checking that pulses are
coming). In case of a failure indication an alarm
for speed monitoring system failure shall be
given. If there is a risk of too high speed the
separator shall be stopped by NORMAL STOP.
• The speed drop during discharge, compared to
the measured speed immediately before, should
be between 3 - 8 % which will indicate a proper
discharge.
Signal processing in STOPPING:

• STAND STILL shall be indicated when no pulses

are detected within 30 seconds.
• Stopping the separator when alarm for speed
monitoring system failure is active, shall cause
a timer controlled stop. (See ”Stop time” in
“Technical Data”.)

190
8 Technical Reference 8.4 Interface Description

752 Unbalance sensor. (Option)

For indication of any abnormal unbalance
and to be able to perform appropriate
countermeasures, the separator has been
equipped with an inductive analogue sensor
monitoring the radial position of the top-bearing
seat on the separator frame. The signal from
the sensor shall be monitored and two alarm
levels according to the vibration alarm levels in
“Technical Data” should be set. The vibration
level shall be high for 3 seconds to generate an
alarm. The first level is only used to generate
an alarm while the second level shall stop the
machine.

The vibration monitor shall include self-check

function to be performed at least at initiation of
STARTING.

If vibrations exceed the second alarm level the

separator shall be stopped the quickest way
possible and it shall not been restarted until the
reasons for the vibrations have been found and
measures to remove them have been taken.

Signal processing in STARTING:

If vibrations exceed the second alarm level the

separator shall be stopped automatically by
SAFETY STOP.

If the self-check system triggers, an alarm shall

be given and an automatic stop by NORMAL
STOP shall be initiated.

Signal processing in RUNNING:

• If vibrations exceed the first alarm level an alarm

should be given. Vibrations of this magnitude
will reduce the expected lifetime of the bearings
and should therefore be eliminated.
• If vibrations exceed the second alarm level the
separator shall be stopped automatically by
SAFETY STOP.
• If the self-check system triggers an alarm shall
be given.
Signal processing in STOPPING:

• If the self-check system triggers an alarm shall

be given.
Signal processing in NORMAL STOP:

• If vibrations exceed the second level the system

shall turn over automatically to SAFETY STOP.

191
8.4 Interface Description 8 Technical Reference

760 Cover interlocking switch. (Option)

The separator is equipped with a interlocking
switch to detect if the cover is mounted.

Signal processing in STAND STILL:

• The circuit is closed when the cover of the

separator is mounted.
• The interlocking switch should be connected
in such a way that starting of the motor is
prevented when the separator cover is not
mounted.
Signal processing in STARTING and RUNNING:

• If the circuit is broken the separator should

be stopped automatically by NORMAL STOP.
This is to minimise the risk of having access to
moving parts.
Fluid connections
Complementary information is given in the
document “Connection List”.

201 Inlet

Processing in STAND STILL:

• Shall be closed.
Processing in STARTING:

• Should be closed. Bowl will be open and empty

or closed and filled depending on if start is done
from STAND STILL or STOPPING.
Processing in RUNNING:

• Could be closed or open (see “Operating Water

Interface”).
206 Inlet for liquid seal and displacement liquid

• See “Operating Water Interface”.

220, 221 and 222 Outlets

Processing in STAND STILL:

• Could be closed or open.

Processing in other modes:

• Shall be open.

192
8 Technical Reference 8.4 Interface Description

375 Inlet for discharge and make-up liquid

Processing in all modes:

• It is recommended to supervise the supply

pressure to the operating water valve block
(optional). If pressure is too low start should be
interlocked and if it happens in PRODUCTION
turn over to STAND BY should take place.
Signal processing in STARTING:

• Below 85 % of synchronous bowl speed no

water supply may be made.
• When coming from PRODUCTION a discharge
shall be initiated to remove sediment from bowl
to avoid problems due to solidification.
Signal processing in PRODUCTION:

• Automatic discharges shall be initiated by timer

(see “Operating Water Interface”).
Signal processing in NORMAL STOP:

• Discharges should not be made.

• Below 85 % of synchronous bowl speed no
water supply may be made.
Signal processing in SAFETY STOP and
EMERGENCY STOP:

• Discharges shall not be made.

• Below 85 % of synchronous bowl speed no
water supply may be made.

8.5 Demand specification water 8 Technical Reference

8.5 Demand specification water

Alfa Laval ref. 574487 Rev. 1

Poor quality of the operating water may with

time cause erosion, corrosion and/or operating
problems. The water shall be treated to meet
certain demands.

1. Turbidity-free water, solids content <0,001% by

volume.
Max. particle size 50 µm.
Deposits shall not be allowed to form in certain
areas in the system.
2. Total hardness less than 180 mg CaCO3per
litre, which corresponds to 10 °dH or 12,5 °E.
Hard water may with time form deposits in
the operating mechanism. The precipitation
rate is accelerated with increased operating
temperature and low discharge frequency.
These effects become more severe the harder
the water is.
3. Chloride content max. 100 ppm NaCl
(equivalent to 60 mg Cl/l). Chloride ions
contribute to corrosion on surfaces in contact
with the operating water. Corrosion is a process
that is accelerated by increased separating
temperature, low pH, and high chloride ion
concentration.
4. 6,5 < pH < 9
Bicarbonate content (HCO3) min. 70 mg HCO3
per litre, which corresponds to 3,2 °dKH.

NOTE

Alfa Laval accepts no liability for consequences

arising from unsatisfactorily purified operating water
supplied by the customer.

 9 Installation

9.1 Introduction
The installation instructions are specifications,
which are compulsory requirements.

Any specific requirements from classification

societies or other local authorities must be
followed.

NOTE

If the specifications are not followed, Alfa Laval can

not be held responsible for any malfunctions related
to the installation.

209
9.2 Upon arrival at the storage area 9 Installation

9.2 Upon arrival at the storage area

Ensure that the separator delivered is suitable
for the application.

9.2.1 Transport
1. When lifting the separator, make sure that tools
and lifting devices are fastened securely. See
6.7.1 Lifting the separator on page 172.

NG
WARNI
!
Crush hazards
Use correct lifting tools and follow lifting instructions.

2. When lifting the bowl see 6.7.2 Lifting the bowl

on page 174.

3. During transport of the separator, the in- and

outlet device, frame hood and bowl must always
be removed.

G0873591

210
9 Installation 9.2 Upon arrival at the storage area

9.2.2 Protection and storage of goods

1. The separator must be stored indoors at 5 -
55 °C, if not delivered in a water-resistant box,
designated for outdoor storage.

G08736B1

2. If there is a risk for water condensation, the

equipment must stand well ventilated and at a
temperature above dew point.

3. If the storage time exceeds 12 months, the

equipment must be inspected every 6 months
and, if necessary, the protection be renewed.

The following protection products are recommended:

1. Anti-rust oil (Dinitrol 112 or equivalent) with long
lasting effective treatment for external surfaces.
The oil should prevent corrosion attacks and
leaves a waxy surface.
2. Anti-rust oil (Dinitrol 40 or equivalent) is a
thin lubricant for inside protection. It gives a
lubricating transparent oil film.
3. Solvent, e.g. white spirit, to remove the anti-rust
oil after the storage period.
4. Moist remover to be packed together with the
separator equipment.

211
9.3 Planning of Installation 9 Installation

9.3 Planning of Installation

9.3.1 Important measurements

G0873711

Important measurements are:

- minimum lifting height for lifting bowl parts
- shortest distance between driving motor and
wall
- space for control and operation
- free passage for dismantling and assembly
- space for maintenance work
- space on floor for machine parts during
maintenance work
For more detailed information, see 8.6.1 Basic
size drawing on page 195 and 8.6.2 Foundation
drawing on page 196.

212
9 Installation 9.3 Planning of Installation

9.3.2 Maintenance service

G08738N1

A work bench should be installed in the

separator room.

Hot water, compressed air and diesel oil should

be available near the work bench to make
maintenance work easier.

An overhead hoist with capacity of 300 kg

is required for transport of bowl parts to the
working bench. Lifting point should be above
the centre of the separator.

NOTE

When two or more separators are installed, the lifting

height should be increased to enable bowl parts from
one separator to be lifted and moved over an adjoining
separator.

See 8.6.2 Foundation drawing on page 196.

213
9.3 Planning of Installation 9 Installation

9.3.3 Connections to surrounding equipment

Local safety regulations
If the local safety regulations prescribe that the
installation has to be inspected and approved
by responsible authorities before the plant is put
into service, consult with such authorities before
installing the equipment and have the projected
plant design approved by them.

G0873911

Service media
Ensure that all service media (electric power,
operating and safety liquids etc.) required for the
separator have the correct quality and capacity.

G0874021

Sludge discharge tank

If the sediment from the separator is discharged
into a tank, this tank must be sufficiently
ventilated. The connection between the
separator and the tank must be of the size
and configuration specified. If the solids are
discharged from the separator bowl casing into
a closed system, ensure that this system cannot
be overfilled or closed in such a way that the
solids cannot leave the bowl casing. This could
cause a hazardous situation.

G0874311

214
9 Installation 9.5 Before start-up

9.4 Storage at out of operation

If the separator is out of operation for more than
1 month:

1. Lift out the bowl.

2. Protect the spindle taper from corrosion by

lubricating it with oil.

3. Keep the separator and bowl well stored, dry

and protected from mechanical damage.

For details see 9.2.2 Protection and storage of

goods on page 211.

9.5 Before start-up

If the separator has been out of operation for:

1 months or longer

• Pre-lubricate the spindle bearings if the ambient

temperature at start up is below 25°C
6 months or longer

• Perform an Inspection service [i] and make sure

to pre-lubricate the spindle bearings.
• Change the oil before starting.
18 months or longer

• Perform an Overhaul service [o] and make sure

to pre-lubricate the spindle bearings.
• Change the oil before starting. G0868741
