main switch, before connecting the mains supply and start the machine.
d) In case of accident due to electric current immediately disjoin the injured (usually he lose
consciousness) from the parts under voltage. Cut the supply to electric mains. If this need
an excessive time, drive away the injured using insulating material as a wood or pvc stick,
cloth. leather.
ATTENTION
Electrocution danger
This procedure is dangerous: touch the injured means to be struck by lightning.
Operating water: water that fulfill the chamber under the moving ram and that,
appropriately discharged by valves placed in the bowl body, permit the opening of the
bowl and the sludge discharge.
2.5. Responsability
The non conformity to the instructions of this use and maintenance Manual exempt the
manufacturer from every responsability.
For every date not included or deducible from the following pages, it’s recommended to
directly consult the manufacturer.
3. MACHINE DESCRIPTION
The pressure produced by water in chamber (11) keeps the sliding piston (10) in closed
position. By feeding with water the pipe line (13), the opening valve (12) let the water in
chamber (11) to flow away; the product pressure push down the sliding piston and the solids
are immediately ejected through the discharge holes (9). By stopping the water feed (13) and
filling the closing water line (14) into chamber (11), the hydraulic operated ram goes back to
the closed position.
3.1.5. Drive
The three-phase electric drive motor is controlled by INVERTER (electronic frequency
converter). This system allows to use an absolutely standard electric motor with cage rotor, to
eliminate centrifugal clutches and hydraulic couplings, to realize a gradual separator starting-
up with a strong limitation of the electric current absorption, to obtain a power factor (cosfi)
near to unit in every operating condition and to permit a fast pickup of the nominal speed after
the solids discharge.
3.1.6. Materials
All parts in contact with the product and with the discharged solids are made of stainless steel.

(*) These data depend on the specific application (milk skimming, standardization, cleaning
and whey skimming). The skimming capacities given above has been obtained with
normal milk and whey at a temperature of 3050 °C with 0,03% maximum residual fat
content (Gerber system).
ATTENTION
Avoid water jets on control panel and on the motor.
Every use different from the specified, not included o deducible from this manual, it is
considered “NOT ALLOWED”.

• Lifting points
UNPACKING
Carry the packed machine closest the place selected for installation.
Remove the plastic protection to free the machine.
Conditions of packing elimination (if present):
Wood: not pollutant material, to correctly ricycle.
Plastic: pollutant material to not burn (toxic fumes) neither waste in the environment;
eliminate in accordance with the law in force in the user country.
• lift truck;
• bridge crane, crane or hoist with sling.
LIFT TRUCK
Use a lift truck with:
• capacity higher than the weight of the machine+packing (reported outside the
case);
• fork with length higher than 1500 mm.
Insert the forks under the level ground in central position, where signed by the suitable
triangles on the case (fig. 4.1), and keep them at the maximum distance one from the other.
SLING
Must be used ropes or bands in good conditions (neither damaged nor deteriorated) having
guaranteed capacity higher than the weight of the machine+packing (reported outside the
case).
Pass the two ropes outside the “case feet” to avoid the sliding of the ropes towards the centre
of the case (fig. 4.2).
ATTENTION
Danger of damaging the machine during transport
The machine transport on the road must be performed without the bowl to avoid
damaging of the vertical shaft and/or ball bearings.
To lift the separator use two hemp ropes and a bridge crane, crane or hoist having guaranteed
capacity higher than the weight of the machine (ab. 2.850 kg.).
Pass the two ropes under the frame, and adjust their length in order to have the lifting point on
the center-of-gravity vertical line (one rope must be placed inside the frame foot on motor
side, the other one on the opposite side); then lift the whole.

ATTENTION
Danger of machine turnover
Danger of impact and squashing for people
During lifting and transport must be used great caution to avoid injury to people and things.
This operation must be performed by expert personnel.
Verify that nobody is exposed to a risk in danger zone.
WHEN LIFTING ALL THE AREA SURROUNDING THE MACHINE MUST BE
CONSIDERED DANGER ZONE.
Until the groups (bowl, separator) are not completely lifted it’s better to verify the correct
balancing of them. The lifting must be performed with continuity (without impulses).
Keep the load lower than possible during movements, both for a better load stability, and for a
higher visibility.
The manufacturer do not answer about breakages due to the transport of the machine after the
delivery.
All the elements that are potentially moveable or not resistent to his weight must be securely
fixed to the machine to prevent dangerous disjunctions or unbalancings.
For the machine not packed is prescribed a covered transport.
5. INSTALLATION/PREPARATION TO START
5.1. Environment
The machine work inside a covered factory, with steady temperature, limitedly esposed to
dust and humidity.
Except for different specification in order established, the machine has been designed and
tested to regularly work in the enviromental conditions reported below.
If the conditions are very unsteady, the means and characteristics of air-conditioning will
have to be fixed.
ALTITUDE
The altitude of the place where the machine will be installed have not to be higher than 1000
m from sea level.
TEMPERATURE
Minimum room temperature: +10°C
Maximum room temperature: +40°C
ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS
The electric equipment can correctly work in atmospheric conditions with relative humidity
not higher than 50% and temperature of 40°C, and at 90% with temperature not higher than
20°C (without condensate).
LIGHTING
The factory lighting system is considered very important for the safety of people and of work
quality. It is for the customer to know the standards regarding accident prevention and work
health in force in his country. These standards define the responsabilities of the work place
manager, who must guarantee a good efficiency of plants and consequently of machines.
In Italy this argument is regulated by a ministerial decree which clearly fix the average level
of prescribed lighting.
The lighting is measured in lux (1lux = 1lumen/mq).
Minimum necessary lighting: it has to guarantee the correct perception of symbols and marks
(from 300 to 500 lux).
Maximum lighting: it has to avoid the operator dazzling.
5.3. Equipment
The machine normal equipment include:
• Set of special spanners for the bowl.
• Set of spare parts
- n° 1 set of bowl gaskets
- n° 1 set of bowl valve gaskets
- n° 1 set of inlet-outlet flow unit gaskets
- n° 5 intermediate disks
- n° 1 cartridge for filter
- n° 1set of fuses for electrical panel.
• Operating water system, constitued of:
- ball and solenoid valves unit

5 - Frame foot
6 - Nylon washer
7 - Screw
8 - Shock absorber spacer
A - Foundation plate plane
Figure 5.1
The frame plane (B) must be horizontal (fig. 5.1). In order to obtain this, adjust the screwing
of screws (7 - fig. 5.2), which must be screwed without tightening, to have always a good
working of the shock absorbers and to avoid to loose their damping effects.
Figure 5.2
5.5. Lubrication
OIL LEVEL
The separator is delivered without lubricating oil. Before the first starting it is necessary to fill
the gear housing with the lubricant of separator equipment. After the filling, the oil must be at
a level just over the mark on the sight glass (4 - fig. 5.3). During operation, the oil level has
never to fall below the mark situated just below (5 - fig.5.3).
Check the oil level every week and check presence of water from time to time loosening oil
drain plug (2 - fig. 5.3) and drawing a sample. If this is “white coffee coloured” (emulsion
symptom), change immediately the oil.
ATTENTION
Danger of injury or burning
It is peremptorily forbidden to perform the oil change or supply
when the machine is still rotating.
Figure 5.3
TYPE OF OIL
Always use mineral, non-corrosive oil EP type with the following characteristics:
Viscosity: - 220 cSt at 40°C, corresponding to ISO VG 220.
- 18,7 cSt at 100°C.
Viscosity index: 95.
Density: 0.895 kg/l, at 15°C.
ATTENTION
Danger of gears and ball bearings damaging.
It is peremptorily forbidden the use of syntetic oil.
OIL CHANGE
The first time change the oil after 300 operating hours and then once every 1500 operating
hours; however never let pass a period longer than six months (check the effective working
time of the machine, reading the value reported in the hour counter placed inside the electric
panel). In seasonal operation the oil change must be performed before every operating period.
The used oil must be collected in a suitable tank and eliminate as specified by the local
regulations.
Whenever changing oil, accurately clean gear housing and remove all metal particles fouled
in the internal walls and corners of gear chamber. Do not use downy rags or cotton waste.
Clean sight glass.
ATTENTION
Electrocution danger
The electrical connection must be performed by the electrician (that is informed
about the risks connected to the intervention and knows as avoid them).
The wiring diagram is put inside the electric panel. If this is not, immediately contact the
manufacturer.
The user have to predispose a suitable isolating switch of the electric line upstream the
machine, in addition to effective protection advices against overcurrents/indirect contacts.
When connecting, verify that:
• the supply mains correspond to the voltage and frequency indicated in the wiring diagram
supplied with the machine; a wrong voltage supply could damage the electric panel
equipment;
• the supply mains is provided with suitable earth connecting system;
• the electrical power supply of the separator motor is designed relating to starting current
(approximately 1,5 2 times the nominal current of the motor).
Instructions for electrical system connection:
- Perform the connection to the electric mains with great caution, without voltage in the
mains and respecting the safety prescription and local regulations.
- It is advisable to install the control panel near the machine, to assure a fast intervention in
case of danger.
- When connecting the phases to the isolating switch terminals, inside the electric panel, put
in the suitable seat the yellow-coloured protection cover.
- Always use waterproof conduits on motor terminal board inlet.
- It’s absolutely forbidden the mains connection without grounding.
ATTENTION
Generic danger
In case power and control panel has not been supplied with separator, the electrical
connection has to be made in conformity with the instructions reported on enclosed
wiring diagram and respecting the safety prescriptions and local regulations.
Figure 5.4
The solids discharge, if totally connected by a pipe, must have a sight glass that allow to see
eventual leakages. The sludge elimination plant must be realized in such a way that a
counterpressure is avoided inside it, preventing the sludge draining (fig. 5.5). These are the
features that it must have:
1) sufficiently large pipes without sharp bends and shrinkages;
2) horizontal length absence;
3) sludges must be able to freely drain into the collecting tank.
Figure 5.5
If the machine has pneumatic components the connection to the pneumatic system must be
predisposed. The system features are reported in § 3.3 and Tav. 23.
The user have to predispose a suitable cock upstream the machine pneumatic system, that
guarantee the cut out of the compressed air in case of emergency.
When connecting, verify that:
• air pressure is in the limits reported in § 3.3;
• connecting pipes are constrained to supports near the pipe unions; this to avoid injuries
due to unexpected disjunction of the pipe from the union.
The bowl is supplied separately from the rest of the machine, so before setting at work it must
be dismantled and assembled on vertical shaft in the frame. The bowl, rotating at high speed,
is subjected at high stress that could compromise the operating safety of clarifier in case the
bowl has been improperly assembled and cleaned. In Figure 6.1 are shown all the main
pieces of the bowl.

ATTENTION
Generic danger
The bowl has not to be started before it has been completely assembled.
- Every part must be correctly positioned; almost all bowl parts have an angular position
fixed by pins or feather keys - except for threaded parts and gaskets (Figure 6.1 - parts 2,
3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22).
- During assembly verify that shear rags are not present on various pieces and that foreign
objects do not remain inside the bowl.
- Bowl body nut and bowl lock rings have left-handed threads.
- Always use our special spanners and particularly the spanner for disks compression.
- After screwing big lock ring, check the disks compression.
It’s possible that disk set is insufficiently compressed and this may cause anomalous
vibration of the bowl. In this case add some disks.
Figure 6.3
5) By the spanner (09.050.0), insert the moving ram. Proceed as explained below.
- Fasten spanner body on the sliding
piston.
- Slightly screw threaded rod until the
threaded part length outside the
spanner body is 4 5 mm.
- Lift the moving ram by hand or by
hoist and place it down on the bowl
body.
- Take care that the “0” marks of the
two pieces are aligned, so that the
three guide pins of the bowl body
enter correctly into the correspond-
ing holes in sliding piston.
- Slightly unscrew the threaded rod Figure 6.4
until the piston is completely placed
on his seat. Could be necessary give
some plastic hammer blows on the
upper edge of the threaded rod
and/or on the upper edge of the
piston to make swinging the piece.
- The sliding piston should be now
resting on the internal edge of the
bowl body, in position indicated in
Fig. 6.5. The most internal part of
the piston must be at about 3 mm.
under the hub of bowl body. This
position will be easily reached if the
steps from 3) to 5) have been
correctly made.

14) By the spanner (09.150.0) screw the big lock ring (Fig. 6.13) that has left-handed thread.
This operation must be performed with the disks stack compressed by the suitable
spanner. It must be possible screw by hands the ring until the “0” mark is at least 1 cm.
before the “0” mark of the bowl body (if this does not happen, it means that the assembly
is not correct or the number of disks is wrong). Then fasten it down as much as possible
by striking with mallet (09.010.0) the spanner handle. Now the “0” marks must be
aligned. In case the bowl is not new and the parts start being worn, the “0” mark of the
ring will go beyond the “0” mark of the bowl body. The distance between the two
references must not exceed 3 cm.
Figure 6.13
15) Remove the spanner for disks set compression. This spanner also allows to check if disks
compression is correct. Infact one manual turn of nut (3 - Fig. 6.11), by means of
extension pipe, must cause a “sensation of toil”. If after one turn it is still hard to loosen
the spanner it means that one or two more disks are still necessary.

Figure 6.15
6.2. Inlet-outlet flow unit assembly
Before assembling, check all gaskets and grooves: they must be in good conditions and
accurately cleaned. The spanners necessary for assembly are reported in Tab. 09/A and 09/B.
Do not use other tools or use them with caution.
The feeding pipe and the centripetal pump must be assembled in sequence with the last parts
of the bowl (see § 6.1), then fix the cover on cyclone and finally the remainings parts of inlet-
outlet flow unit.
Proceed according with the following procedure (see Fig. 6.16 - next page):
1) Lift up the bowl protection cover and put it on cyclone, making attention to not damage
the thread of the feeding pipe.
2) Screw the eight screws M12x35 (08.280.0 - Tab. 08/B) on anular collecting cyclone.
3) If necessary mount the spacer/s (7) and insert the pump fixing flange fastening it by the
screws (9) TCCEI M8x16.
4) Place on the cover the inlet-outlet body (12) gliding the feeding pipe in the central hole,
then fix it by screws TE M10x20 with washer Ø10 (13, 14).
6) Screw the feeding pipe placing the spanner (09.030.0) in the grooves present in the upper
part of the feeding pipe and, blocking the spanner, screw the feeding pipe nut by the
spanner (09.390.0).
Figure 6.16
Check that:
- spacers thickness and number is the prescribed one (see § 3.3 and 6.3).
- locking nut of feedind pipe (left hand thread), fixing screws of cover to frame (Tab. 08/B)
and of inlet-outlet flow unit to cover are hardly screwed.
ATTENTION
Generic danger
Only with bowl completely standstill is possible to start disassembly.
ATTENTION
Generic danger
Before disassembly, always perform machine chemical cleaning, that finish with
cold water rinsing for about 5 minutes.
In case it is not possible to perform the cleaning, cool the bowl passing through it
cold water or other cooling fluid, before starting disassembly.
ATTENTION
During dismantling it is suggested to put in a suitable area the disassembled
components to find them out easier and to verify the completeness of the assembly
at the end of it.
1) By the spanner (09.140.0), unscrew (left-handed thread) the small lock ring.
2) Remove the finned cover.
3) Take out the centripetal pump.
4) Extract the feeding pipe.
5) By the spanners (09.060.0 09.090.0), compress the disks stack (Fig. 6.11). To make
this, perform the following operations:
- Lay flange (1) on bowl hood.
- Screw tight threaded rod (4) on the distributor. Do not forget bronze washer (2) under
nut with handles (3).
- By using extension pipe (09.020.0) screw nut (3) as much as possible.
- When the nut (3) lay on the flange (1), one turn is enough to slightly lift the distributor
from bowl body.
The spanner for compression disks stack also allows to check if disks compression is
correct. Infact one manual turn of nut (3 - Fig. 6.11), by means of extension pipe, must
cause a “sensation of toil”. If after one turn it is still hard to loosen the spanner it means
that one or two more disks are still necessary.
6) Strike with the mallet (09.010.0) the spanner handle (09.150.0), to unscrew the big lock
ring (Fig. 6.13), until loosen it (left-handed thread). Then take it out.
7) Remove the spanner for disks set compression.
8) By the spanner (09.100.0), extract the bowl hood (Fig. 6.10). Proceed in this way:
- Fasten spanner body on the bowl hood.
- Slightly screw threaded rod.

Disassembly
- Remove the port plug for bowl valve (08.290.0 - Tab. 08/B)
- By using a screwdriver, make turning the bowl until the valve doesn’t appear at your
sight.
- Insert spanner body (1 - Fig. 6.19) so that the two fore pins fit the corresponding holes of
valve body (2).
- Tighten screw (3) in valve body and then tighten nut (4) to fasten spanner to valve body.
- By wheeling spanner body (1), the valve (2) is unscrewed (right-handed thread) from
bowl body.
- The small ram (6 - Fig. 6.20) will probably get out with the valve body; if this not, extract
it (Fig. 6.20) by pulling spanner (5 - 09.130.0) after screwing its threaded end on small
ram.
Figure 6.19
Figure 6.20
Assembly
Before assembly verify the gaskets are in good conditions.
- Insert the small ram (6 - Fig. 6.20) into the valve body.
- Apply the valve body (2 - Fig. 6.19) on the spanner body (1 - Fig. 6.19), so that the two
fore pins fit the corresponding holes on the valve.
- Tighten screw (3 - Fig. 6.19) in valve body and then tighten nut (4 - Fig. 6.19) to fasten the
spanner to the valve.
- Add by finger a little bit of grease on the external valve gaskets, to avoid tearings when
inserting.
- Insert with caution the spanner with valve into the hole on the bowl. Then, slowly screw
the valve (to avoid damaging the OR gaskets with the thread), screwing for half a round
and unscrewing a little bit until the valve is completely inserted.
The Metering Device (MD) is constitued by two chambers, one filled with operating water
and the other filled with air, separated by a ram. The air pressure minimum value should be 4
4,5 bar while the suggested operating value must be 6 bar approximately. The water
pressure minimum value should be 1,8 2 bar while the suggested operating value must be 2
2,5 bar approximately. The regulations of these pressure values can be executed by the
pressure reducers placed inside the electrical panel and on operating water line.
Find below the steps, numbered by discharge cycle times (see doc. CD-SE501), of metering
device working procedure during partial and total discharge. As an example, for partial
discharge:
T0) Water chamber is filled to be sure the water quantity is enough for discharge;
T2) Air chamber is filled, to guarantee the necessary air pressure for discharge;
T3) During this time (discharge time) the air chamber is still filled and air pressure push out
of the metering device the operating water;
T5) Air chamber is filled to guarantee the water is totally evacuated from water chamber;
T6) Air and water chamber are filled;
T7) Water chamber is filled.

The metering device allow the regulation of discharge volume quantity; this can be made
regulating the ram position by the adjusting screw (8 - Fig. 6.21). The regulation is
practicable only in the 5 seconds after the discharge (partial or total). Proceed as follows:
- apply an adjustable spanner to the adjusting screw (8) placed on the bottom of the
metering device and screw until a certain pressure could be felt;
- at the moment of the discharge the screw suddenly become slack and that’s the time to
regulate the ram position.
To increase the discharge volume the screw must be unscrewed (turned in clockwise
direction) and viceversa.

7.3.3. Alarms
The PLC can intervent during separator working giving, in keyboard display, some alarm
messages:
BOWL SPEED STEADY STATE - SEPARATOR IS READY TO PRODUCT
This is only a warning message and inform you that the separator has reached the nominal
speed and now can be fed with product (default 5.000 r.p.m.).
Help: Product pump can be started and start cycle with SA1. Push alarms reset.
LOW SPEED PREALARM ON
This is only a warning message to make you know that bowl speed is descended to a value
lower than the nominal one (default 4.900 r.p.m.). This usually happens during total
discharge.
LOW SPEED ALARM ON
This message inform you that bowl speed is descended to a unacceptable value (default
4.600 r.p.m.) and some trouble is present. When the bowl reach this low speed the feeding
pump is automatically stopped.
Help: Wait till bowl reaches nominal speed.
MAX SPEED BOWL ALARM
This is only a warning message to make you know that bowl speed is upward to a
unacceptable value (default 5.100 r.p.m.) and some trouble is present on the INVERTER.
When the bowl reach this high speed an alarm message is visualizing.
SLIPPING BELT ALARM
This is only a warning message to make you know that the rpm sensor of driven pulley read a
speed value that is different from the value (suitably converted) read by the rpm sensor of
driving pulley (default 20 r.p.m.). In this case the belt starts slipping and in a short period it
should begin burning.
MAX FREQUENCE ALARM
This message inform you that Inverter frequency has reached the maximum permissible value
(usually 2 Hz. more the motor supply frequency).
EMERGENCY ALARM - PUSH BUTTON ON
This message inform you that the emergency button has been pushed and this caused the
cutting of electrical feeding to separator motor and the activation of the brake.
Help: Turn the mushroom head button anticlockwise and push alarms reset.
WATER ALARM - LOW PRESSURE <SP1>
This is only a warning message to make you know that water line feeding is wrong. It’s
necessary to check the right working of surge tank unit (surge tank pump, pump pressure
switch, filter, pressure reducer) and that no leakages are present. Check also the right
working of pressure switch and the minimum pressure limit that must be set to 1,0 1,2
bar, not more.
Help: Check: 1) water pressure, 2) surge tank operation, 3) clean filter cartridge, 4) push
alarms reset button.
AIR ALARM - LOW PRESSURE <SP3>
This is only a warning message to make you know that air line feeding is wrong. It’s
necessary to check that compressed air is fed and that no leakages are present. Check also
the right working of pressure switch and the minimum pressure limit, that must be set to
4,0 4,5 bar, not less.
Help: Check air pressure reading the manometer, then push alarms reset button.
PNEUMATIC ENERGY
The user must predispose before the plant an on-off valve and must allow the compressed air
cutting.
ATTENTION
Generic danger
Before start always verify the efficiency of security devices and of stop command.
ATTENTION
Generic danger
The machine OPERATOR MUST BE PRESENT at the starting-up phase.
Starting up of machine:
• Rotate the main switch (BLG) in position “1”, (light up of white luminous indicator means
that tension is present in line).
• Push the button SB4 - ALARM RESET.
• Push the button “START INVERTER” (SB2) and switch on separator motor turning the
selector “START SEPARATOR” (SA1A) in position “1”.
• Check the regular start of separator and wait for reaching nominal speed (after about 8
min. on display should be seen the speed value of about 5.000 r.p.m.). When the separator
reach the speed of 5.000 r.p.m. appears the message “SEPARATOR IS READY TO
PRODUCT”. Pushing the button SB4 - ALARM RESET - the message disappears.
• Check the regular closure of the bowl (the bowl close automatically before reaching
nominal speed).
• Rotate the cycle selector SA1 (START CYCLE) in position “1”.
• Feed separator with hot water (close to process temperature) pressing the feeding pump
start button (START PUMP).
To activate every alarm push the button F18 - alarms reset.
• If the separator has not worked for a long time or it has undergone extraordinary
maintenance operations that required cover and inlet-outlet flow unit removal, the
chemical cleaning cycle must be performed as described in § 8.6.
• Feed separator with product. If necessary regulate the flowrate using micrometric valves of
inlet-outlet unit.
ATTENTION
Generic danger
During starting-up the machine has not to rotate with empty bowl for more
than 15 min.
8. MACHINE USE
1) Feed the machine with a constant flow of product. Adjust the capacity of the separator
within the limits marked on § 3.3. The flow-rate can be adjusted by operating on the
micrometric valve at product inlet (see Table 20).
2) Treat the product at the highest pressure value allowed by the process. The
counterpressure adjustment must be performed by operating on the “L” micrometric
valve at product outlet (see Table 20).
ATTENTION
The regulation must be performed by operating gradually on the valves and awaiting the
stabilization of the process after each modification and before new adjustsments.
3) Select in PLC the correct operating cycle (par. 8.3) and set a suitable value of separation
and discharge time. In PLC four different operating cycles are set, that can be selected by
pushing the suitable buttons on the electric panel terminal board (see § 7.3);
ATTENTION
The choice of the operating cycle and the setting of the functional parameters
depend upon the product's characteristics, the physical parameters of the process
and the degree of separation required. Always CONTACT the MANUFACTURER
for a suitable choice.
In presence of external solids of a great size the product to be treated must be prefiltered (we
recommend the use of a static filter or a rotating filter by brushes).
In case of a consistant presence of abrasive solids of a small size (sand) it may be necessary to
treat the product with an hydrocyclone.
ATTENTION
Generic danger
The presence of abrasive solids (sand) in the product may cause an abnormal wear
of the parts of the bowl exposed to the discharge of solids.
ATTENTION
The following instructions have an orientative meaning because the adjust of the working
cycle is extremely conditioned by the characteristics of the products and the physical
parameters of the process (capacity, temperature, viscosity, density, etc.).
A) For a product with a high content of solids (greater than 1 2 % approx.) we recommend a
separation cycle with total discharges (Prog n°2). The separation time may be calculated in
a first rate by following the procedure indicated here below:
Example
Process data Capacity 2.500 l/h
Content of solids in the inlet 7 %
Content of solids desired in the output 2 %
The reduction of the solids content required to the machine is provided by:
Percentage of solids reduction = % solids in the inlet - % solids in the outlet = 7 - 2 = 5 %
The quantity of separated solids in one hour is worth:
Separated solids = Capacity x Percentage of solids reduction = 2.500 x 5/100 = 125 l/h
The useful volume of the solids chamber (which collects the separated solids) is calculated
by introducing a safety factor being equal to 0,8. If the total volume of the solids chamber
is V = 10 l, then:
Useful volume = Total volume x Coeff. of safety = 10 x 0,8 = 8 l
Now it must be calculated how many times the solids chamber is filled up in one hour:
The separation time (time between a discharge and the other) must be then:
Time of separ. = Second in one hour / N° fillings in one hour = 3600 / 16 = 225 sec.
The time must be set by pressing the pushbutton F3 in the keyboard of the PLC.
ATTENTION
Danger of motor overheating.
The separation time must never be lower than 3 minutes.
B) For a product with a medium-low solids content (lower than 1 % apx) we recommend a
separation cycle with partial discharges (Prog n°1) or with partial discharges and total
discharges (Prog. n° 3). The separation time may be calculated in first approximation by
following the procedure indicated below, keeping into consideration the fact that with
partial discharges you only have a partial emptying of the bowl. For this reason a correct
setting of the discharge time (opening time of the bowl) which consider the volume of
solids actually discharged must be performed.
The following instructions have an orientative meaning because the adjust of the working
cycle is extremely conditioned by the characteristics of the products and the physical
parameters of the process (capacity, temperature, viscosity, density, etc.).
Example
Process data Capacity 2.500 l/h
Content of solids in the inlet 0,5 %
Content of solids desired in the output 0 %
Now it must be calculated how many times the solids chamber is filled up in one hour:
n = Separated solids / admittable capacity = 12,5 / 8 = 1,5625 2 times *
* always rounded up by excess.
The separation time (time between a discharge and the other) must be then:
Time of separ. = Seconds in one hour / N° fillings in one hour = 3600 / 2 = 1800 sec.
The time must be set by pressing the pushbutton F3 in the keyboard of the PLC.
The volume of the evacuated liquid must be 2 3 l more than the volume of the evacuated
solids.
Volume of evacuated liquid = Volume of evacuated solids + 2 3 = 6,25 + 2 3 8 9 l
Now a discharge time must be set (pushbutton F2 in the keyboard of the PLC). At the
beginning try with:
Discharge time = 0,07 sec = 7 c.sec.
Perform a partial discharge, collect in a container all the liquid actually discharged and
verify that the volume corresponds to the calculated one.
If the actual volume is lower than the calculated one, the dicharge time must be increased
(8 9 c.sec); while if the discharged volume is higher than the calculated one the
discharge time must be reduced (5 6 c.sec.).
ATTENTION
The choice of program N° 3 (separation cycle with partial discharges and total
discharges) by setting the various times is a consequence of the special features
of the process and it must then be evaluated with the manufacturer.
cover. This water wets the external surface of the bowl and the internal one of cover
and cyclone to avoid the sedimentation of crusts and deposits.
T3) SLUDGES DISCHARGE TIME [1/100 seconds]
During this time the solenoid valve for bowl opening (YV1) is opened. Changing
this time it’s possible to regulate the sludges discharge quantity.
T4) BOWL CLOSING TIME [seconds]
During this time the solenoid valve for bowl rinsing and closing (YV0) is opened.
Water starts filling the chamber between sliding piston and bowl body, lifting the
piston and closing the bowl. This time have not to be lower than 8 sec.
T5) DELAY OF FILLING METERING DEVICE [seconds]
During this time the solenoid valve in compressed air line (YV31) is opened and
the metering device air chamber is filled.
T6) DELAY OF AIR DISCHARGE METERING DEVICE [seconds]
During this time both the solenoid valve in compressed air line (YV31) and the
solenoid valve in closing water line (YV32) are opened, so the metering device air
and water chambers are filled at the same time.
T7) TIME OF FILLING METERING DEVICE [seconds]
During this time the solenoid valve in closing water line (YV32) is opened and the
metering device water chamber is filled.
T10) STOP TIME OF INLET PRODUCT [seconds]
This time is usually set for total discharges. During this time the separator is not
filled with product and the pneumatic butterfly valve, at the separator inlet, is
closed.
T11) STOP TIME OF PRODUCT PUMP [seconds]
This time is usually set for total discharges. During this time the product feeding
pump is off because of the cutting of product feeding line. This time is generally 2
seconds more than T10.
T12) VENT VALVE DELAY [seconds]
This time must be set in separators equipped with mechanical seals and vent
system. In this case, T12 is the time that must be set to obtain the vent pipe opening
at the end of dicharge time (T3).
T13) VENT VALVE TIME [seconds]
This time must be set in separators equipped with mechanical seals and vent
system. During this time the vent pipe is opened by the vent valve (YV30).
T14) DELAY OF RECYCLE VALVE [seconds]
This time must be set in separators equipped with recycle line. In this case, T14 is
the time that must be set to obtain the recycle pipe opening by the recycle valve
(YV36) at the end of dicharge time (T3).
T15) RECYCLE VALVE TIME [seconds]
This time must be set in separators equipped with recycle line. During this time the
recycle pipe is opened by the recycle valve (YV36).
Ordinary maintenance
Before every shift

General operation check
Control of capacity value and temperature
Control of separation efficiency and regulation by manual valves
Check alarms presence on terminal board
At the end of every shift
Machine chemical cleaning to remove working residuals.
ATTENTION
Generic danger
Cleaning solutions must NOT contain CHLORINE
The frequency of cleaning cycle depends on the characteristics of treated product. The
following operations are recommended:
It is suitable to realize two bowl discharges (at least) during each phase of cleaning cycle, that
must finish by a total discharge (push button F7 on terminal board of electric panel).
If you use the cleaning water line, before every discharge it is necessary to close the inlet
valve to interrupt the separator feeding. The valve must be opened when separator has reached
the nominal speed again.
During every cleaning phase the bowl should overflow for about 5 10 seconds, (close the
micrometric valve shutters, at the separator outlets) to wash the external surfaces of the bowl
and the internal surfaces of cover and cyclone.
ATTENTION
Burning danger
When cleaning takes place, a solution heated up to 75 °C flows in pipes, so DO
NOT TOUCH the connection pipes, the inlet-outlet flow unit and the bowl cover.
