3.2 Overview
The separator comprises a processing part and a
driving part. It is driven by an electric motor.
Mechanically, the separator machine frame is
composed of a bottom part and a collecting cover.
The motor is flanged to the frame. The frame feet
have vibration damping.
The bottom part of the separator contains the
horizontal driving device, driving shaft with
coupling, a worm gear and a vertical spindle.
The bottom part also contains an oil bath for the
worm gear, a brake and a revolution counter,
indicating speed.
The collecting cover contains the processing
parts of the separator, the inlet and outlets and
piping.
The liquid is cleaned in the separator bowl. This is
fitted on the upper part of the vertical spindle and
rotates at high speed inside the space formed by
the collecting cover.
All connections have standardised numbers.
These numbers are used in the connection list
and the basic size drawing which can be found in
chapter ‘‘8 Technical Reference” on page 127.
