Chapter A – General Information
A1 – General information regarding separator
Centrifugal separator model “CA”, the result of over thirty years of experience in the manu-
facturing field, has been specifically designed and created for the treatment of milk and/or
whey. It therefore cannot be used for the treatment of other products without our prior au-
thorisation.
We decline all and any responsibility for damages to things and/or injury to persons caused
by improper or unauthorised use of the separator.
The main characteristics of the “CA” series separators are as follows:

• Bowl made from steel materials with extremely high mechanical properties and de-
signed to guarantee highly efficient skimming.
• A system of bearings and dampers designed to minimise vibration.
• Drive by means of worm screw and helical crown
• Bath and splash lubrication.

Print 03/15_GB

A2 – Important Warnings
To achieve the best performance from the “CA” series centrifugal separator we rec-
ommend the following:
• Adhere strictly to the instructions in this manual when installing and removing the
bowl.
• Before starting up the machine make a careful inspection of the separator’s locking
organs to ensure that they are correctly locked; pay particular attention to the
screws on the cover, the upper nut on the downflow unit tube and the screws of the
downflow unit.
• Do not unscrew or loosen the above mentioned organs while the bowl is rotating.
• The bowl parts must be handled with care; take special care not to damage them by
accidental bumping.
• Do not tamper with the bowl parts for any reason whatsoever, in particular do not
weld, make connections using abrasive tools or heat them.
• Use the diaphragm press wrench to open and close the bowl.
• Do not lubricate the base-vertical shaft connection area.
• The machine base, especially the upper inner part, must be cleaned with a damp
sponge. In no circumstances are water jets to be used as this could alter the lubri-
cation oil.
• Take great care when carrying out the electrical connections: adhere scrupulously
to the directions in this manual.
• We recommend feeding softened water into the hydraulic system for opening-
closing the bowl.
• Clean the machine carefully after each use. The “CA” series separators can be san-
itized through the C.I.P. method without having to be removed after use.
• Do not use active chlorine based detergents (eg. hydrochloric acid ) as they can
even corrode stainless steel parts.
• Replace the lubricating oil in accordance with the prescribed schedule.

Print 03/15_GB
7
A2.1 – Storage
If the machine is not installed immediately after delivery, it must be stored in a dry place
sheltered from weather conditions, in order to prevent it from being damaged before instal-
lation.
In this case it is important to remove the oil contained in the lubrication chamber ( see point
G1), disassemble the bowl piece by piece and ensure that the electrical panel is completely
covered.
During the installation phase, after pouring in the oil, check the condition of the radial
bearing ref. Table 5 code 2060000140; if the bearing shows no sign of damage, before
starting up the separator, lubricate generously with the supplied oil.

A3.3 – Continuous noise level and vibrations
Once the working speed has been reached, that is not during the starting, discharge or
stopping phases, the noise level of the machine, measured in an open environment, with
the phonometer at 1 metre from the machine, in the absence of echoic surfaces,
is 78 dB(A).
The noise level may increase if the sludge drain is not ducted or if the supplied siphon is not
connected to the discharge manifold. During start up, in correspondence to the crossing of
the structure’s resonance speed, the noise level may reach, in just a few seconds,
85 dB(A).
During partial discharges, the noise level may exceed 84 dB(A).
The separator is supplied with a working vibration level, less than 2 mm/s (actual value), as
measured on the front of the machine base. Measurements carried out at different points
lead to different vibrational level values; these are not however very different and therefore
are no cause for alarm. Obviously, vibration reaches greater values during the start up and
discharge phases, even if for minimal time periods. Reading of vibrations during these tran-
sitory events obviously serves no purpose.
Note that an incorrectly installed bowl or a build up of sediment in the sludge cham-
ber can cause a considerable increase in the vibration level.
If there are strong vibrations during the stopping phase, check that there has in fact been a
total discharge and that the separator is not sucking in any residual product from the feed
line.
If the latter is the case, carry out a complete discharge by acting on the operating water de-
vice levers and closing the cock at the start of the separator feed line.

A4 – Safety Standards
The centrifugal separator described in this document contains parts that rotate at a high
speed; it develops considerable kinetic energy, great forces are generated and stopping
times are prolonged. Therefore the user must observe the following general safety reg-
ulations:
• Use the separator only in accordance with the parameters given by the manu-
facturer.
• Adhere strictly to the instructions in this document.
• Personnel who use the separator must be trained in advance by qualified per-
sonnel, with particular emphasis on emergency situations.
• Respect the maintenance schedule and use only original spare parts.
Throughout the manual various symbols accompanied by a word are used to represent
risks of injury to persons or damage to the separator.
DANGER : DESCRIPTION
This term indicates a situation which must be avoided otherwise it could lead to
death of the operator or persons present.
WARNING: DESCRIPTION
serious injury of the operator or persons present.
CAUTION: DESCRIPTION
This term indicates a situation which must be avoided otherwise it could lead
to injury of the operator or persons present.
NOTE: DESCRIPTION
damage of the separator and/or equipment.
The regulations to be observed in anticipated situations of use of the separator are de-
scribed below.

Print 03/15_GB
12
DANGER: Use the separator only and exclusively for the purpose and
according to the parameters indicated by the manufacturer.
In the event of excessive vibrations stop the separator.
After connecting the electric wiring, always check the direction of

rotation of the motor. Reverse rotation would cause the vitally im-
portant rotating parts to unscrew.
Always check that the power frequency conforms with the frequen-
cy printed on the plate affixed to the separator’s electric panel. In
the event it exceeds the frequency indicated, the increased speed
could cause considerable damage.
Welding or heating of the rotating parts could affect the structure

and the resistance of the materials.
Ensure that the threading of the big stop ring used for securing the
bowl does not wear to beyond the safety limit; the “0” mark on the
ring must not exceed the “0” mark on the base beyond the specified
limit.
Before beginning any maintenance operation make sure that all the
rotating parts have stopped completely.
To prevent accidental start ups, disconnect the electric power supply.
Before starting up the separator assemble all its parts and make
sure that all the protective devices and all the covers are secured in
their positions.
The electrical connections must be carried out by a professional

electrician; the connections must be made in conformity with the
relevant regulations in force.
WARNING: Use lifting devices suitable for those operations, and follow the
lifting instructions.
Never work underneath suspended loads.
In noisy environments, wear ear muffs.
CAUTION: The lubricating oil and various surfaces of the machine can
reach high temperatures and therefore are a scald hazard; be-
fore carrying out any operations wait until the temperature drops
to ambient temperature.
The sharp edges of the bowl discs and the threading of the stop
rings are a cutting hazard; when carrying out maintenance oper-
ations always wear protective gloves.

Print 03/15_GB
13
Respect the scheduled maintenance dates and ensure prompt
replacement of damaged or worn parts and the separator will al-
ways be working under the best conditions. Use only and exclu-
sively original spare parts supplied by ANDRITZ FRAUTECH
S.r.l. or by an authorised distributor.
NOTE: Always use the tools and wrenches provided when carrying out mainte-
nance operations; other tools and wrenches could damage the separator
parts.
In the event of a prolonged period of non-use ensure that the bowl is thor-
oughly cleaned.
Use filtered and softened water for the operating water system of the sepa-
rator.
If the separator is not installed immediately after delivery, it must be stored

in a dry place which is sheltered from weather conditions, in order to pre-
vent it being damaged before being started up.

Print 03/15_GB
14
Chapter B – Handling and transportation
Before beginning work carefully read Chapter A4 – Safety regulations.
Generally the separator is supplied complete with packaging (pallet or wooden crate); han-
dling in these conditions must be made with suitable means, such as a lift truck, in order to
move it easily and safely.
The separator must be moved before the bowl unit is installed, or in any case without
it.
Once the separator has been positioned in its installation location, remove all those parts
which secure the separator to the packaging, place them at a safe distance from the separa-
tor so that the installer can work under safe conditions.
Before lifting the separator remove the covers so that it can be lifted more easily; place the
ropes or belts in the positions indicated in figure 2, and secure them to the lifting device.
After having completed the lifting operations, remove the ropes or belts

Chapter C – Installation
C1 – Fixing the foundation plate
To improve stability and to reduce the vibrations which may occur during operation to the
minimum, the separator must be fixed to the floor as illustrated in Fig. 3. The sequence of
the operations is as follows:
-a- Make a hole in the ground using the sizes indicated in Figure 3 as a guide, so that there
is enough room around the foundation plate for a large amount of concrete.
-b- Position the plate with the tie rods at the centre of the hole.
-c- Level the plate both lengthwise and horizontally so that the level of the feet protrudes
from the level of the floor by about 10-15 mm (millimetres).
-d- Cast the concrete and allow it to set.
Fig. 3

Print 03/15_GB
16
C2 – Securing the separator
After waiting the time required for the concrete to set onto the foundation plate, secure the
separator to it. See Figure 4 and 4A for the operations to be carried out.
-a- Lower the separator base onto the foundation plate in such a way that the stud bolts fit
into the feet.
-b- Level the separator base using the shims provided (fig. 4A).
-c- Secure the feet to the stud bolts of the foundation plate using the special nuts, as shown
in Figure 5. Do not squash the vibration dampers with the nut. Then secure the lock
nut.
Fig. 5

Print 03/15_GB
17
C3 – Lubrication
The drive gears (worm wheel and worm screw) and the bearings are lubricated in a bath oil
created in the chamber where they are housed (splash lubrication); therefore after having
fixed the separator to the floor lubricating oil must be poured in the chamber. To facilitate
this operation refer to Figure 6.
-a- Remove the oil top-up cap (det. 1) located on the front of the separator.
-b- Insert the funnel and pour in the oil provided until it reaches approximately half way up
the oil window (det. 2).
-c- Replace the cap and tighten it
Fig. 6
Note: at the first start up or after a prolonged period of non-use, lubricate the radial ball
bearing with the same oil as the one used for the drive gears.

Print 03/15_GB
18
C4 – Electrical connections
Note: Before making the electrical connections verify that:
-a- The feed line section is suitable for the power required by the separator, 1.5 times the
rated current (see the Electrical Wiring Diagram).
-b- The electrical feed line includes the earthing connection for protection against indirect
contacts (see IEC publication 364-4-41).
-c- The electrical connections are made exclusively by a professional electrician capable of
carrying out a perfect job and authorised for issuing a conformity certificate confirming
that the connections have been made in accordance with the relevant laws in force
(Directive 2006/95 CE relevant to low voltage, CEI EN 60204-1 relevant to electrical
equipment of machines).
The motor is protected against overheating by probes inserted in the windings: consequent-
ly the probe terminals must be connected correctly.
Check that the rotating direction of the motor is correct - the vertical shaft of the bowl must
rotate in a clockwise direction as viewed from above.
DANGER: it is absolutely forbidden to use the machines in environments

with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
C5 – Water connection
To ensure efficient operation of the separator’s self-cleaning system the softest water possi-
ble must be used and at a constant pressure.
Therefore, it is important to respect the following recommendations:
The water must be softened in order to reduce the limestone deposits resulting from the
natural hardness of the water.

Print 03/15_GB
19
Note: the water must be softened but not demineralised.
-b- In order to have the same discharge efficiency the water pressure must be kept at a
constant value(1.5 bar min. or 2 bar max.).
-c- The connection between the water supply mains and the operating water device can be
made with either rigid or flexible tubing of a suitable diameter.
To guarantee a constant pressure, we recommend using a pressurization unit or a constant

level tank with a centrifugal pump.

Print 03/15_GB
20
C6 – Assembling the bowl
CAUTION – a hoist of a capacity suitable for lifting the weights is required for
the operations described below.
C6.1 – Assembling bowl model “D”
To assemble the bowl refer to Figure 7 and respect the order of sequence of the parts.
Note: For a correct assembly observe the following recommendations.
-a- Carefully clean the taper seat of the bowl base and the relevant end of the vertical shaft
without using any lubricants whatsoever.
-b- The bowl is delivered with all its gaskets in place, however it is advisable to check that
they are in fact in their correct positions.
-c- All the bowl closure thread is left hand; check that the reference marks “0” or “I”
stamped on the parts match up.
-d- Grease the thread with the antiseizing paste supplied, in order to facilitate assembly and
disassembly operations.
-e- Take great care to ensure that the coupled parts and the gasket seats are completely
clean.

C6.2 – Diaphragm presser
The diaphragm presser is indispensable for a correct closing and opening of the bowl; this
device also helps to greatly reduce the force exerted on the locking ring at the bottom of the
bowl to prevent possible seizing.
The explanations below on how to use the diaphragm presser refer to Figure 9 .
-a- After having dismantled the diaphragms packs as well as the upper disc; verify the cor-
rect location of the gaskets on the lower part of the cover .
-b- Mount the cap and ensure that the guide pin fits into the slot on the bottom of the bowl.
-c- Screw the threaded bar ref. 1 on the upper thread of the distributor, place the flange ref.
2 on the cover and place the jack ref. 3 on the flange .
-d- Tighten the hexagon nut det. 4, act on the handle of the presser to press the diaphragm
pack until the cap slots into its seat on the bottom of the bowl (max 350 bar) , and make
sure that the slit on the cap and the pin on the bottom of the bowl match up.
-e- Tighten the ring at the bottom of the bowl without forcing; the “0” or “I” references on the
bottom and on the cap must be at a maximum distance of 50 mm from each other. Use
the “counterstroke” technique, that is, strike the handle of the wrench with a hammer, to
complete the last closure section and match up the references. If the ring cannot be
closed completely, check that the bowl parts have been assembled correctly and that
they are perfectly clean.
Note: If the diaphragm column is not compressed sufficiently the bowl may vibrate
more than normal.
Fig. 9

Print 03/15_GB
23
C6.3 – Disassembling the bowl
To disassemble the bowl carry out the instructions given at point C6.1
Take great care when removing the parts: always use the wrenches provided.
If you have trouble removing the cap, use the special wrench as described below with refer-
ence to Figure 10 .
-a- Place the cap ref. 1 on the distributor

-b- Screw the wrench of cover lifting ref. 2 on the thread itself .
-c- Turning the threaded bar ref. 3 you can lift the cover .
Fig. 10

Print 03/15_GB
24
C6.4 – Mounting the cover
After having completed the assembly of the bowl, check that no wrenches or other tools
used for assembling the bowl have been left inside the cyclone; if so, remove them.
Rotate the bowl unit several times by hand; it should rotate freely, without any difficulty at
all. If this is not the case, determine the cause and eliminate it.
After carrying out these controls, proceed to mount the cover.
Lift the cover and check that the gasket has been mounted correctly.
Then position the cover in its seat as shown in Table 3, and tighten the screws. Opposite
screws must be tightened one by one in order to guarantee that the cover is perfectly se-
cure. Then mount the overflow pipe by rotating it to the required position.
We remind that the overflow pipe must be filled with water before mounting.

C.6.5 – Assembling the external downflow unit
C.6.5.1 – Assembling the external downflow unit model “D”
To assemble the external downflow unit refer to Figure 11.
-a- Insert the spacer (1) and the gasket in

the heavy phase turbine (2).
-b- Place the heavy phase outlet block
det . 3 on the cover and secure it with
the special screws.
-c- Place the heavy phase outlet block
det . 3 on the cover and secure it with
the special screws.
-d- Mount the upper gasket of the light
phase outlet block (7), the gland(8),
and then tighten the tube stop nut (8)
using the wrenches 1C and 2C.

Chapter D – Water system for opening and closing the bowl
D1 – How the water system for opening and closing the bowl works
The bowl is closed by injecting water into the chamber F through the passage D. During op-
eration the thrust generated by the water in chamber F is greater than the downward thrust
caused by the weight of the product to be separated. A valve whose piston is kept pushed
outwards by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the bowl keeps the discharge
hole H of the chamber F closed.
When water is injected from E the piston shifts inwards and the chamber F empties. The
thrust of the product moves the sliding element A downwards and suddenly discharges the
content of the bowl.
After a few moments the water flow from E ceases, the piston returns to its initial position
and the discharge hole H of the chamber F is closed. At the same time water is injected into
the chamber F through passage D and the bowl closes.
To obtain quick and precise partial discharges passage D is always kept open during the
discharge phase. The system is set in such a way that the speed of emptying the chamber
F is greater than the speed of filling it up so with the valve open the chamber F empties
even while injecting water through passage D.
Fig. 13
Print 03/15_GB
27
D2 – Solenoid valve unit
The solenoid valve unit consists of :

EV2 Discharge solenoid valve
EV1 Bowl rinsing and closing solenoid valve
C Manual discharge valve
D Manual bowl closing valve
Valves D and C are used manually for carrying out partial or total discharges in the event of
a programmer failure or before stopping the separator at the end of a shift after having
turned off the feed pump.
For partial discharges proceed as follows:

-a- Open valve D;
-b- Quickly open and close valve C;
-c- Finally after 10”-20” close valve D.
For total discharges proceed as follows:

-a- Open valve C for 1÷2 seconds;
-b- Open valve D for 10”-20” to close the bowl.
Should the total discharge be executed at separator’s stopping, it will be not necessary any
opening of the “D” valve.
The solenoid valves EV1 and EV2 operate according to the adjustments made on the board.
At least once a year, especially if the water has impurities, it is advisable to disassemble
and clean solenoid valves EV1 and EV2.

Chapter G - Maintenance
The centrifugal separator is capable of generating great forces in all directions and is sub-
ject to the law of centrifugal force. Even in optimal conditions, the drive parts and supports
are subject to wear.
When the manufacturer guarantees safe and efficient functioning over an extended period
of time he implies that worn parts must be replaced at the frequency indicated below.
DANGER: Worn parts which are not replaced or are incorrectly mounted can
cause serious damage.
Maintenance: is divided into two categories, routine and special.

Routine maintenance include operations that can be carried out by the
maintenance technician of the company where the separator is installed.
Special maintenance includes operations which must be carried out by
specialised personnel.
The routine maintenance operations are described below; these descriptions are intended
as the technical support for the maintenance technicians .
Note: maintenance to the drive must be carried out by authorised personnel or spe-
cially trained personnel.
Before any operation on the separator disconnect the electrical power supply.
G1 – Separator oil change
The first oil change must be made after 500 hours of work. The operation is described
below and refers to Figure 18.
-a- Remove the cap det. 1 , bring the oil
container close to it, and remove the
Fig. 18 plug det. 3.
-b- When the gear chamber has been
emptied of all the oil, replace the plug
det. 3 in its original position.
-c- Top up the gear chamber with the
supplied oil until it reaches approxi-
mately half way up the window det. 2.
-d- Replace the plug in its original posi-
tion.

Print 03/15_GB
29
The oil must then be replaced after every 2,000 hours of work.
The oil used has been specially designed for use on centrifugal separator transmissions.
The special oil is MOBIL GLYGOYLE 30. After having used all the supplied oil, request a
new supply from the manufacturer or else use oil comparable to the one quoted.
G2 – Maintenance of the hydrodynamic joint
G2.1 – Replacing the oil
The first oil replacement must be made after 4,000 hours of work. The operations to be car-
ried out are described below and refer to Figure 19 and 20
-a- Remove the protection guard, and use your hands to rotate the hydrodynamic joint until
the oil load/ drain plug ( meltable plug) appears det.1.
-b- Unscrew the plug completely, turn the joint until the oil drains out. Make a mark on the
base flange to use as reference during the oil loading phase; turn the joint until the hole
is on the bottom in order to drain out all the oil.
-c- Reposition the joint with the hole near the reference mark on the base flange and pro-
ceed to fill it up.
-d- Tighten the cap det. 1 and reposition the protection guard as it was originally.

G2.2 – Replacing the meltable plug
The meltable plug is a protection device for the hydrodynamic joint; this device starts to op-
erate when the temperature of the oil that circulates inside it exceeds 175°C. The oil only
reaches this temperature when the separator is not functioning properly; therefore before
replacing the meltable plug verify the problems causing this irregular functioning of the sep-
arator. After having corrected the problem, proceed to replace the meltable plug.
The meltable plug is a taper socket head screw (TCEI screw); at the centre of the hexagon
there is a hole plugged with an alloy which melts at 175°C and allows the oil to flow out.
Therefore the first operation to be carried out is to top up the joint as described at point
G2.1.
Then close with the new meltable plug.
G3 – Replacing the bowl gaskets
To guarantee perfect operation of the bowl, we recommend an inspection at least after eve-
ry 500 hours of work; by so doing the condition of the bowl (due to any wear) and the gas-
kets can be kept under control.
We recommend replacing the bowl gaskets after every 1,000 – 1,500 hours of work, de-
pending on the product treated and the discharge frequency.
The operations to be carried out when replacing the sliding element gasket are described
below.
-a- Remove the old gasket by levering it off with a screw driver inserted under it.
-b- Thoroughly clean the gasket seat and mount the new one.
-c- The gasket must not protrude from its seat, as shown in Figure 21; therefore use a plas-
tic hammer to ensure that it is completely inserted in its correct position (the gasket
must not protrude as the sliding element cannot be properly mounted if this is the case).

To replace the cap gasket follow the procedure described below:
-a- Cut the gasket with a screwdriver (use it as if were a chisel), and lift up one edge.
-b- Using pliers grip the edge of the gasket and pull it out.
-c- Clean the gasket seat thoroughly; check that the air discharge holes are not clogged; if
they are, clean them thoroughly.
-d- Place the new gasket in position and fit it into its seat by hitting it with a plastic hammer.
Take a piece of the old gasket, place it on top of the new one, and hit it with a hammer
in order to make it fit into its seat, as illustrated in Figure 22.
Fig. 22
G4 – Replacing the bowl valve gaskets
Every time the bowl is dismantled the condition of the bowl valve gaskets and pads must be
checked.
Usually the part most subject to wear is the pad det.1 Figure 23.
If there is evidence of limestone deposits,
Fig. 23 place the valve in a solution of 10% nitric acid
to descale it.
Check that the holes det.2 and 3 Figure 23
are completely unclogged; if not, make sure
that they are cleaned thoroughly.

Print 03/15_GB
32
To dismantle and replace the bowl valve proceed as follows, with reference to Figures 24
and 25.
-a- Remove the cap from the cyclone, det.1; turn the bowl until the valve is in front of the
hole on the cyclone.
-b- Insert the bowl valve extraction wrench, det. 2, insert the two pins in the special holes in
the valve and tighten the journal det.3. By so doing the valve remains anchored to the
wrench so that it won’t slip into the cyclone.
-c- Turn the wrench to unscrew the valve from its seat and remove it.
-d- Once it has been removed, replace the gaskets and the pads. For the disassembly and
assembly procedures see Table 10 in Chapter H - Spare parts.
-e- To mount it on the bowl, carry out the operations described in points c, b and a in the re-
verse order.

G5– Vertical transmission
The vertical transmission unit can be removed without affecting the horizontal transmission
unit. The procedure for disassembling and assembling the vertical shaft is described below.
G5.1 – Disassembling the vertical shaft
-a- When the separator has stopped and the electric power plug has been removed, take
off the cover (follow the operations described in point C6.5 in the reverse order).
-b- Remove the bowl as described in point C6.4.
-c- Refer to Table 5 in Chapter H and remove the following parts: the water distributor, the
labyrinth, the collar cover and the collar unit.
-d- Disassemble the bottom bush, by unscrewing the locking screws ref. 1 fig. 26, and then
screw two screws diametrically opposed so that to unthread the bush from its seat.
-e- Now the shaft can be lifted out by hand. The bearings and worm screw are fitted to the
shaft.
G5.2 – Assembling the vertical shaft
-a- Once the operations required for the maintenance

of the vertical shaft have been carried out, repeat
the operations listed in point G5.1 in the reverse
order.

G5.6 – Turbine clearance adjustment
The centripetal pumps for extracting the separate phases, are locked on the cover by the
check nut and require an upwards clearance with respect to the bowl of 2.5 - 3 mm. This
adjustment is made at our factory by inserting stainless steel spacers under the heavy
phase turbine.
When the vertical shaft needs to be removed (special maintenance operation) the correct
“turbine clearance” needs to be reset and the number of spacers inserted modified if neces-
sary. The separator is supplied with 2 spare spacers
G5.6.1 – Turbine clearance adjustment for model “D”
For this operation refer to Figure 35.

-a- Mount the bowl with the tube and the turbine, cover and skimmed product distributor.
-b- Push the light phase turbine downwards and measure the distance “B”, as indicated in
the figure.
-c- Pull the tube det. 1 upwards and measure the distance “A”, as indicated in the figure.
-d- If the result of the difference between measurement “A” and measurement “B” is less
than 3 mm, remove the spacers; if the result is greater than 3 mm, add some spacers.
Obviously the number of spacers to be added or removed depends on how many are
required to achieve the optimal measurement of 3 – 3.5 mm

G6– Horizontal transmission
The horizontal transmission unit can be dismantled without affecting the vertical transmis-
sion unit. The procedure for disassembling and assembling the horizontal shaft is described
below.
G6.1 – Disassembling the horizontal transmission
-a- When the separator has stopped and the electric power plug has been removed, take
off the cover of the motor (not shown in the figure) by loosening the relevant fastening
screws.
-b- Remove the motor with the flange by loosening the relevant fastening screws, det.1

G6.2 – Assembling the horizontal transmission
-a- Once the maintenance operations of the horizontal shaft have been completed, carry
out the operations listed in point G6.1 in the reverse order.
G7 - RPM survey sensor
The programming panel-board is equipped with electronic revolution counter, which detector
touch on the brake cage (at a distance of 2 mm).
It is extremely important for its correct functioning, especially when the panel is at a particu-
lar distance from the separator (up to 25 meters), not to lay the detector cables in the same
raceway of the motor cables. In any case it is advisa-
ble the use of shielded type cables.

Chapter M – Setting the separator at work
M1 – Preliminary remarks
Danger: before starting up the separator make absolutely sure that :

-a- The bowl is assembled correctly, the closure rings are screwed to the very
end and the reference marks “0” and “I” match up.
-b- The cover is securely fixed to the cyclone.
-c- The downflow unit is secured to the cover.
-d- The downflow unit stop nut is screwed in to the very end.
-e- The oil level reaches half way up the window.
Before starting up the separator we strongly recommend reading point

“CONTROL PANEL” very carefully, as it contains all the relevant infor-
mation regarding the electric panel (operation of the push buttons, selec-
tors and indicator lights).
If the separator is inserted into a plant with a single panel, consult the
chapter that describes the command and control panel in its manual.

below procedures:
A. Rotate the main disconnecting switch on the electric panel det. QS1 fig. E1 to “1“. The
times programming board begins the startup test.
B. Turn all the pump selectors (SA1 and SA2 fig.E1) to AUTOMATIC.
C. Start up the separator by pressing the push button det. SB2 fig. E1.
D. When the “SEPARATOR READY” message appears on the operator panel, turn the
selector det. SA0 fig. E1 to “PRODUCTON”.

M5 – Adjusting the downflow unit
Practical advices
-a- Check that the effective capacity does not exceed the rated capacity specified for each
function of the separator .
-b- Each adjustment must be carried out gradually, with a few minutes pause after each
one to allow the cream to vary and stabilise its density.
-c- Once the correct degree of adjustment has been determined it is advisable to note the
position of the various shutters.
-d- To facilitate the adjustment it is advisable, during the first run throughs, to use water for
a precalibration, to note the outflow feed capacity compared to the inflow feed capacity
of the machine and to adjust the cream shutter so that only a thin trickle of water flows
out.
M5.1 – Description of the model “D” downflow unit (fig 16)
The external down-flow device is composed by:
A Valve for the regulation of the heavy phase counterpressure (with bacteria)
B heavy phase outlet
C Valve for the regulation of the light phase counterpressure
D1 light phase pressure gauge
D2 heavy phase pressure gauge
E product outlet
Fig. 16

Print 03/15_GB
42
M5.2 - Adjustments
With reference to picture 16 , adjust the down-flow device as follows
M5.3 - (with recirculation system )
Acting on the knobs “A” and “C”, you can adjust the counter-pressures of the two liq-
uid phases.
With the knob “A” it is possible to adjust the counter-pressure of milk phase, contain-
ing the maximum concentration of bacterial charge; while the knob “C” adjusts the
counter-pressure of the phase of de-bacterised milk.
Normally the device has to be regulated – acting on knob “C” - in such a way to obtain
the maximum pressure on the manometer (D1) (for instance 5 Bar); then adjust the
manometer “D2” – acting on knob “A” - in order to obtain a difference of pressure
(D1 – D2) = 2,5 ÷3 Bar.
All these operations, in combination with the correct frequency of the discharge times,
grant the proper working of the de-bacteriser
M5.4 - (with free outlet system )

In case of free outlet of the milk with the maximum content of bacterial charge, the
device can be adjusted by following the operations listed at point M5.3.
It is very important that the pressure on the D1 is always higher as respect as the
pressure readable on manometer D2

Print 03/15_GB

M6 – Washing the separator
The operations described below refer to a separator which operates as a single unit, while,
if it is inserted into a pasteurization group, the separator must be washed in accordance
with the instructions of the whole group.
After having finished the product to be processed, feed the separator with hot water to start
the washing operation.
After the water has been fed into the feed circuit, turn the selector det. SAO Fig. E1 to the
wash mode.
Under these conditions, the separator will carry out more frequent discharges, for a correct
way of cleaning .
For the daily sanitisation simply carry out an alkaline wash, preceded and followed by an
abundant rinse with disposable water.
The recommended cycle consists in a cold rinse of 5-10 minutes, followed by a wash with a
caustic soda solution of 2% at approximately 65° for 30 minutes (approximately 2 kg of
caustic soda flakes per 100 litres of water).
The cycle ends with a cold water rinse lasting 5-10 minutes.
During the washing cycle it is advisable to close the heavy phase cock for a few extra
seconds, especially during the alkaline wash, so that the liquid overflows and washes the
inside part of the cover more thoroughly.
At least once a week after the caustic soda wash and subsequent rinse, wash with a nitric
acid solution of 0.5% at 65° for 20-30 minutes (0.5 litres of nitric acid per 100 litres of water)
and a final rinse with cold water for 5-10 minutes.
The washing cycle indicated above is only indicative: the first few times the operator must
inspect the inside of the machine after the wash to certify its efficacy and, if necessary vary
the times and concentrations of the solutions.
Note: It is strictly forbidden to use chlorine compounds , especially hydrochloric ac-

id,in any of the sanitising cycle phases, because it corrodes stainless steel
