Under the influence of the centrifugal forces, separation of the liquid mixture
and/or ejection of the solids particles takes place most rapidly.
The specifically heavier components are displaced to the bowl periphery, whe-
reas the specifically lighter components are displaced towards the centre of the
bowl.
The high centrifugal force is produced by very high bowl speeds. On the one
hand, high bowl speeds signify high efficiency, while on the other hand, they
signify high material stressing of the separator.

• All load suspension devices have to be checked for completeness and for
possible damage at least once a year.
• In addition, when using load suspension devices and hoists, the applicable
legislation and safety rules have to be strictly observed.
• Special tools (e.g. compressing, assembly devices, pin spanners) may only
be used for their intended purpose, i.e. the work routines as described in this
instruction manual.
• Before using the standard and special tools supplied, check them for damage
and completeness.
Make sure that
– all moving parts are correctly aligned and not seized.
– that no parts are broken and that there is otherwise no damage which could
affect the operation of the tool.
• Have damaged tools repaired by specialists before using them again.
– Use only genuine spare parts from Westfalia Separator. Otherwise, the
safety of the tool can be impaired.
• Keep the tools clean and keep them in a dry, safe place.

1.6 Corrosion
Corrosion can also affect bowl parts made of stainless steel. This corrosion can
be flat-spread or pit- or crack-shaped and merits special attention.
Corrosion on stainless steel bowl material should be examined thoroughly and
documented.
Flat-spread corrosion can usually be measured (reduction of wall thickness)
Pit- or crack-shaped corrosion cannot be measured without the risk of damage.
At the initial stage pit-shaped corrosion is generally caused by chlorine ions.
Depending on the stressing of the part, pit-shaped corrosion can result in crack-
shaped corrosion.
Fig. 53
Pittings
Pittings which are close together or
form a linear pattern can signify crack
formation beneath the surface.
Such pittings should be investigated by
a materials expert.

1.7 Erosion
Erosion is caused by solid particles in the process liquid.
These solid particles grind marks into the surfaces with which they come into
contact.
The following factors favour the occurrence of erosion:
• hard solids particles
• high throughput capacities
The first signs of erosion should be carefully observed and documented. Ero-
sion can deepen rapidly, thereby weakening the bowl material.

1.8 The health hazards involved when handling heavy oils and lube oils
As a result of the deterioration in quality of fuel oils, the danger has arisen that the heavy oils used on
board contain greater amounts of substances injurious to health. These include:
- polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,
- lead compounds,
- chemical residues.
An increased amount of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is also present in used lube oils (waste oils).
The health hazards for the engine room staff depend to a large extent
• on the concentrations of the dangerous substances,
• the ambient air (inhalation of oil vapours/oil mist),
• the intensity and duration of the contact with the skin or mucous membrane.

2.3 General
The machine described in this manual is a high-speed centrifugal separator with
self-cleaning bowl.
"Separation" means the separation of liquid mixtures which consist of two liq-
uids, with simultaneous removal of the solids contained in the liquids.
"Clarification" is the removal of solids from a liquid.
Prerequisite for treatment technology (separation) is that the components of the
product
– can be separated mechanically,
– have different densities and
– do not emulsify.
2.4 Separator
The separator
– is equipped with a self-cleaning disk bowl,
– is used for the separation of liquid mixtures,
– operates with regulating rings (see section 2.6).

Important!
– The driving effect of new clutch shoes will
improve after several starts.
– Smoking of the centrifugal clutch during the
first few starts is perfectly normal and will dis-
appear after a short time of operation.
– Wear to the clutch shoes depends on the
number of starts and the ejection frequency
(see section 4.2.1).

The inner diameter of the regulating ring to be selected can be determined from
the table or empirically. The general rule of thumb is:
• narrow regulating ring for high density of the light liquid
• wide regulating ring for low density of the light liquid
Important!
If light liquid discharges through the heavy liquid discharge, the next smaller
regulating ring must be fitted.

3.1.1 Separation
The best separation effect is obtained with low viscosity of the product to be
separated.
The separator operates economically with the separating temperatures and ca-
pacities specified by us. Refer to the data sheet and contractual agreements.
Procedure:
• Select the desired operating mode on the control unit.
• Set the separating time on the control unit.
• Start the separator (see 3.2).
Displacement
• When separating, the loss of feed liquid unavoidable during ejection can be
reduced to a minimum by displacing the feed liquid with water before sludge
ejection takes place (especially important when processing valuable feed liq-
uid).
• The duration of displacement water supply is given in the timer overview (see
control unit manual).
• If the displacement time is too long, water will discharge through the light liq-
uid outlet.
• If the displacement time is too short, part of the product remains in the bowl
and is lost during desludging.
®
Westfalia Separator
2063-9001-300 / 0311 69
Flush ejection
If the solids cant be completely ejected,
– due to an excessively long dwell time in the bowl or
– are stuck to firmly on the wall of the solids holding space due to the solids
properties,
• either the separating time must be shortened or
• a flush ejection must be carried out after the total ejection by filling the bowl
with water or product and emptying it again.
Program control
• "Displacement", "ejection", "filling" and "flush ejections" at precisely defined
intervals are best carried out with the automatic control unit.
• The clean oil discharge and water discharge can be monitored.
• Faults can be signalled visually or audibly.

The separator is driven by a three-phase AC motor via a centrifugal clutch and
the drive belt.
The specified motor ratings are minimum values which are based on the in-
creased starting current. Since the current consumption of the motor drops after
start-up, overloading of the motor during operation is not possible.
The starting time depends on the
– flywheel effect of the bowl,
– number of clutch shoes used,
– condition of the clutch shoes.
The starting current can peak at about 1.8 - 2 times the rated current (see start-
up diagram). This is to be considered when selecting switches, lead-in wires
and fuses.
The motor
– can be started direct online (WS standard) or via a motor control for star-
delta switching (Ex-zone).

4.2.6 Comments on table of lubricating oils for separators from GEA Westfalia Separator
Faultless functioning of separators very much depends on the proper type of lubricating oil used, since a
high grade oil, selected to meet all service requirements, will minimize the wear, thus extending the ser-
vice life and increasing the operating safety.
For the lubrication of our separators we recommend to use the oils specified by us since continuous qual-
ity checks are performed by GEA Westfalia Separator. Oils proposed from some firms are not subjected
to these tests.
Therefore, GEA Westfalia Separator cannot give a performance guarantee for those oils.
Be sure to select only high grade solvent refined products.
The specified oil types meet the requirements according to DIN. Under unfavourable operating condi-
tions, e.g. high temperatures, the quality of the oils may be insufficient so that more efficient oils, e.g.
synthetic oils, must be used. If necessary, consult GEA Westfalia Separator.
For the different separator types and oil types the viscosity ranges are specified in the table of lubricating
oils.
The operating temperature of the separator exceeds normally 80 oC (176 oF). At those temperatures
some oils age quickly, so that they have to be changed prematurely.
Be sure not to use lubricating oils with viscosities lower than those specified in the table. Due to the pos-
sibility of the oil film breaking down, oil of too low a viscosity will give insufficient lubrication, resulting in
increased wear. However, oils with a slightly higher viscosity than specified may be used.
Bear in mind that the viscosity groups SAE 30, 40 and 50 (SAE = Society of Automotive Engineers)
cover larger viscosity ranges and be sure to select lubricating oils with viscosities not lower than the
minimum values of the viscosity ranges restricted for the different separator types.

4.9 Storage
ATTENTION!
Improper and incorrect storage of the separator and control unit can dam-
age or destroy their components.
Note:
Gaskets, hoses and hosepipes, for example, change their physical properties in
unfavourable storage conditions. This can result in a shorter service life. They
can be rendered useless due to excessive hardening, softening, permanent de-
formation, flaking, cracks or other surface damage.
IMPORTANT:
• Outdoor exposure is not admissible!
IMPORTANT:
A storage time of more than 12 months of the separator and control unit is only
possible after consulting the manufacturer.

If the bowl has been out of operation for longer than 6 months (e.g. due to a
long standstill period or storage),
• check all bowl parts as specified in the maintenance schedule (table “Mainte-
nance after 4000 operating hours or after 6 months at the latest”).
• Replace if necessary.
If the separator has been out of operation for longer than 12 months (e.g. due
to a long standstill period or storage),
• check all separator parts in accordance with the maintenance schedule (table
“Maintenance after 8000 operating hours or after 1 year at the latest).
• Replace if necessary.
Procedure:
• Drain the slushing oil.
Observe the local regulations on disposal of the slushing oil.
