1.1 Correct usage

The separator is designed
• in accordance with the chemical and physical properties of the product speci-
fied by the customer and
• in accordance with the method of application of the separator agreed with
Westfalia Separator.
In particular, products not conforming to the specifications on the nameplate
may not be used.
Any mode of operation deviating herefrom is not proper and correct.
Prior to any intended deviation from the agreed operating mode, it is therefore
imperative to obtain the consent of Westfalia Separator.

1.2 Safety markings

The safety markings (adhesive and metal plates) are attached to all separators
on the hood and frame of the respective separator in such a way that they are
clearly visible.
All safety markings on the separator, control system and plant components must
always be in perfect condition.
• Clean dirty safety markings.
• Replace damaged safety markings.

Before carrying out work, dis-

connect power to the all compo-
nents of the monitoring system!
Risk of injury due to electrical voltage
and unintended start-up of the separa-
tor!

Before carrying out work on the

separator and electrical plant com-
ponents:
• Make sure the separator is at a
standstill.
Fig. 4 • Switch off all electrical appliances
via the main switch,
• Lock the installation to prevent it
from being accidentally switched on.

Danger o life and limb through

rotating machine parts!
• Do not loosen any part and do not
carry out maintenance or repair
work on the separator before the
separator is at a standstill.
Methods of how to check standstill
are described in the machine docu-
mentation.

Fig. 5

Warning of unusual noises or

vibrations!
When unusual noises or vibrations oc-
cur on the separator:
• Immediately shut down the separa-
tor with filled bowl via “emergency-
off”.
• Never trigger a bowl ejection!
• Evacuate the room.
• Do not re-enter the room until the
centrifuge has come to a standstill.

1.3 Basic operating principles

Separators are used for the separation of liquid mixtures or for the separation of
solids out of liquids or liquid mixtures.

High centrifugal forces are produced in

the rotating bowl.

Fig. 9

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,
whereas 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.

1.4 Bowl speed and product

The max. permissible bowl speed is an important parameter when rating the
separator. It depends on the chemical and physical properties of the product
such as
• temperature, if higher than 100 °C (212 °F) or lower than 0 °C (32 °F),
• density of the fluid and solid components,
• aggressiveness of the product as regards corrosion and erosion (has influ-
ence on the selection of the bowl material).
The bowl speed is determined on the basis of these parameters allowing for an
adequate safety margin.
Before using a product with properties different from those stated when placing
the order, it is imperative to obtain the manufacturer's approval.

2050-9001-010 / 0905
Westfalia Separator
Mineraloil Systems GmbH 15

1.5 Demands relating to service personnel and spare parts

• Use only genuine spare parts from Westfalia

Separator.
The use of non-genuine parts leads to:
– Safety risks
– Lower durability and availability
– Increased maintenance requirement
If a safety risk arises, this may have legal con-
sequences for the responsible persons. In this
Fig. 10 case, Westfalia Separator shall assume no li-
ability or warranty.
• Deploy only well trained personnel for maintenance work, e.g. service per-
sonnel from Westfalia Separator or personnel trained by Westfalia Separator.
An incorrectly maintained/assembled machine poses a safety risk for the op-
erators.

1.6.6 Maintenance and repair

Unfavourable operating conditions may require shorter maintenance intervals.
The factors listed below are unfavourable because they either attack the sepa-
rator material directly or impair the lubrication/cooling system:
• Aggressive product (chemical or physical)
• High product temperature
• Product with grease-decaying properties
• Environment: Temperature, dust, vapours

Particularly high-stressed separator

parts like
– threaded ring,
– spindle and
– bowl shell
must be checked regularly to assure
safe and efficient operation.

Fig. 37

Timely maintenance of the separator and replacement of worn or damaged ma-

chine parts is essential for safe operation of the machine.

Maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by the customer to the ex-
tent as described in this instruction manual.

Maintenance and repair work not described in this manual may only be
carried out by the manufacturer or by "repair shops" authorized by the
manufacturer.
We, therefore, recommend in your own interest to have your separator in-
spected by our service engineers at regular intervals. Such inspections will keep
your separator working reliably and prevent undesirable shut-downs.

Before maintenance and servicing:

• Switch off all electrical appliances
via the main switch,
• Secure installation against unin-
tended re-starting with locking de-
vice.

Fig. 38

It is vital that only genuine spare parts from Westfalia Separator are used.
Otherwise, safety risks may arise (see section 1.5).

2050-9001-010 / 0905
 Westfalia Separator
26 Mineraloil Systems GmbH

• Do not loosen any part before the

separator has come to a stand-
still.
• See section 3.5 for standstill check
options.

Fig. 39

• Do not climb onto or stand on the

machine or parts of the machine.
• Make provision for and use a sturdy
working platform.

Fig. 40

• Place dismantled machine parts on

a suitable base, e.g. rubber mat.
• Take steps to prevent machine parts
from overturning and rolling away.

Fig. 41

2050-9001-010 / 0905
Westfalia Separator

• Do not heat bowl parts with the

naked flame.
• Bowl parts must never be welded.
This also applies for hood and
solids catcher parts of steam-
sterilizable separators.
• Even during cleaning the bowl parts
the temperature must not exceed
100 °C (212 °F).

Fig. 42

• Load-carrying equipment such as

– lifting devices for bowl or distribu-
tor,
– chains etc.
may only be used for work routines
as described in this instruction man-
ual.
• Do not use damaged or incomplete
load carrying equipment.

Fig. 43

• Collect dripping oil to prevent dan-

ger of slipping or product infection.

1.7 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.

Possible formation of pit-shaped cor-

rosion.

Fig. 45

Such pittings can only be investigated by a materials expert.

In case of crack-shaped corrosion attack with or without superposed flat-spread
and pit-shaped corrosion on main bowl components, the machine must be
shut down immediately.
Contact your nearest Westfalia Separator representative for a thorough exami-
nation.

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.

Fig. 46

2050-9001-010 / 0905
Westfalia Separator
Mineraloil Systems GmbH 29

1.8 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.
Contact your nearest Westfalia Separator representative for a thorough exami-
nation. Information on the nature of the damage can be provided by photos,
plaster casts or lead molds.

Fig. 47

The surfaces most susceptible to erosion are:

1) the bottom of the distributor, the rising channels and the ribs,
2) the centripetal pump (cavitation),

2.5 General
The machine described in this manual is a high-speed centrifugal separator with
a solid-wall disk-type 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 centrifugal treatment technology (separation) is that the compo-
nents of the product
– can be separated mechanically,
– have different densities and
– do not emulsify.

2.6 OTC …-02-…

The separator OTC …-02-…
• is equipped with a solid-wall disk bowl,
• is used for the separation and clarification of liquids,
• operates with regulating rings (see section 2.9).
The most important part of the separator is the bowl.
The separator bowl
• can – depending on the application – be converted to operate as a purifier
bowl or clarifier bowl,
• is configured as a purifier bowl at the factory.
Converting the purifier bowl to a clarifier bowl and vice versa is possible in just a
few easy steps (see diagrams).

Pos. Designation Function

1 Bowl • produces high centrifugal forces through rota-

tion making possible separation and clarifica-
tion.
• consists of:
1.1 Lock ring
1.2 Regulating ring (see section 2.9).
1.3 Threaded ring
1.4 Separating disk
1.5 Disk stack
1.6 Bowl shell
1.7 Bottom

1.5 Disk stack • splits the liquid mixture consisting of a light

and heavy phase, e.g. oil-water, into its com-
ponents.
• consists of a large number of conical disks
positioned on top of one another.
Each disk is provided with spacers so that pre-
cisely defined interspaces are formed between
the individual disks.
The smooth disk surfaces facilitate sliding of the
solids and hence self-cleaning of the disks.

Separation chamber The separation space consists of a large number

of parallel chambers of low height. This pro-
duces very small radial sedimentation paths for
the product.

2.8.2 Centripetal pump

Fig. 57

Pos. Designation Function

1 Centripetal pump • discharges the separated liquid under pres-

sure.
• is firmly connected to hood 2 of the separator.

• The disk provided with channels

dips into the liquid rotating with the
bowl.
• The liquid
– is pared off by the centripetal
pump and
– flows through its spiral channels
from the outside to the inside.
By this means the kinetic energy is
converted into pressure energy
which makes possible discharging
the liquid under pressure.

2.9 The regulating ring

Function of the regulating ring

Perfect separation of a liquid mixture is only possible when the bowl has been
correctly adapted to the density difference between the light liquid (e.g. oil) and
the heavy liquid (e.g. water).
To achieve this, select and fit the regulating ring from the set furnished (with dif-
ferent inner diameters) whose inner diameter corresponds to the difference in
density between the two liquid components.

3.1 Technical information

Take note of the following sections:

3.1.1 Separation
The best separation efficiency is attained with a low viscosity of the product to
be separated.
In the case of deviating products
– see sales documents or
– consult the factory.

Water seal (only for OTC …-02…)

• The water seal which prevents light phase from discharging through the water
discharge must be maintained during separation. See section 3.2.

3.1.2 General information on cleaning the bowl

When must the bowl be cleaned?
The intervals at which the bowl must be cleaned depend on the solids content
and nature of the product.
The time between the cleaning cycles (separating time) can be determined by
experiment as follows:

Before beginning the test, the solids holding space of the bowl must be
free from solids.

• Separator:
– adjust to the desired throughput capacity and
– feed a certain product volume for a certain time (3 or 5 hours – depending
on the degree of contamination of the product).
• Shut down the separator (see section 3.5).
• Remove the bowl shell (see section 4.4).
• The intervals at which cleaning must take place can be determined by the
volume of solids accumulated in the solids holding space. It must be taken
into consideration that cleaning must take place before the solids holding
space is filled to the brim as otherwise the separation efficiency will deterio-
rate.
• When product with a different solids content is to be separated, it is recom-
mended to repeat the test after cleaning the bowl.
• Unusually long separating times are only possible when the solids content in
the product is low.

2050-9001-010 / 0905
Westfalia Separator
Mineraloil Systems GmbH 51

3.1.3 Mathematical determination of the separating time

The determination of the separating time between the cleaning intervals is only
possible when the solids content in the product fed to the separator remains
constant.

Example for mathematical calculation of the separating time:

Given: Trial separating time tV = 3 hrs.

Solids volume VF = 0.1 l
during the trial separating time

Solids holding space volume V = 0.75 l

Wanted: Max. separating time tmax = ? hrs.

The maximum separating time is calculated as follows:

tV x V
tmax = —————
VF

3 x 0.75
= —————
0.1

= 22.5 hours

Note:
In order to assure a uniform product quality, in this example a cleaning interval
of 20 hours must be observed.

4.2.2 Installing the separator

Before installing the separator make sure that
• sufficient space is available for operating and dismantling the machine.
• the foundation is not connected to foundations of other vibrating units to avoid
the transfer of vibrations.

To avoid accidents, fit the guard (protection against contact with rotating
drive parts) beneath the separator in accordance with the installation pro-
posal!

• Screw rubber-metal cushions 4 into

foundation 5.
• Screw studs 2 into rubber-metal
cushions 4.
• Place plate 3 over the studs.
• Place the separator on plate 3 and
• bolt tight with hexagon nuts 1.

4.3.6 Comments on table of lubricating oils for separators from 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 Westfalia Separator. Oils proposed from some firms are not subjected to
these tests.
Therefore, 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 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.

4.5.3 Important instructions

CAUTION: Danger of imbalance!

When the bowl has not been correctly assembled or is inadequately cleaned,
forces can be produced in the high-speed rotating bowl which endanger the op-
erating safety of the separator!
Therefore, the cleaning instructions (section 4.5.1) and assembling instructions
(section 4.5.4) must be exactly followed.

Pay particular attention to the following:

• Before assembling the separator, check to be sure that the guide and contact
surfaces of the separator are clean.

• Grease the guide surfaces as specified in the lubrication schedule (see 4.3.4).

• Some bowl parts have to be ar-

ranged in fixed positions relative to
one another.
• Locking devices and alignment
marks must be in perfect condition.
The separator must not be operated
if these locking devices and align-
ment marks are not in perfect condi-
tion.

Fig. 182

• When fitting the separator parts,

make sure that the "O" marks on all
parts are aligned.
(Only then will the parts fit correctly
over arresting pins and guide ribs).

Fig. 183

• Avoid damage to separator parts when fitting and removing by

– precise positioning,
– no diagonal pull!
• Do not use force when removing or fitting parts.
• This applies to all separator parts:
– Treat gently.
– Always set them down on a rubber mat or a wooden pallet.

2050-9001-010 / 0905
 Westfalia Separator

• If the plant has several separators,

be sure not to interchange parts of
different separators (danger of im-
balance).
Some parts are marked
– with the serial number or
– the last three digits of the serial
number.

Fig. 184

• Thoroughly clean the gasket

grooves of the individual separator
parts and apply a thin coat of
grease.
• After fitting check that
– the gaskets are not twisted,
– the gaskets are evenly positioned
in the groove.

Fig. 185

• Before fitting the drive parts

– Thoroughly clean and dry the drive chamber.
Use only a cleaning agent that is approved for the field of application!
– Check spindle ball bearings.
Use only the ball bearings specified in the parts list!

Guide to ordering spare parts

A rapid and correct supply of spare parts can only be guaranteed if your order
includes the following details:

• Separator model see nameplate

e.g. OTC 2-02-137

• Serial-No. see nameplate

e.g. 9000-223

• Designation see parts list

e.g. frame

• Part-No. see parts list

e.g. 2050-1100-020
The part number is also marked on almost all the
individual parts.

Only when ordering spare parts for bowls:

• Bowl S/N see bowl lock ring, bowl bottom or bowl shell
if different from the machine serial number.

Only required when ordering pare parts for pump and pump connection parts:
• Model and number of see pump nameplate
pump

The details must be complete when the part number ends with a letter (e.g.
2050-6600-L), since this indicates that the parts are available in different de-
signs.

• Use only genuine spare parts from Westfalia

Separator.
The use of non-genuine parts leads to:
– safety risks,
– less durability and availability,
– increased service requirement.
If a safety risk occurs, this may have legal con-
sequences for the responsible persons. In such
Fig. 279 cases, Westfalia Separator accepts no liability
or warranty claims.
