1.2 Reasonably foreseeable misuse

The manual contains instructions for the intended use. Any operation of the lubri-
cating unit that does not fall under the intended use constitutes unintended use and
is considered to be misuse.
Reasonably foreseeable misuses include:
• Use of unsuitable spare parts
• Use of impermissible operating materials
• Operation in incomplete assembly state:
- The required supervisory equipment is not activated.
- The required protective covers are not installed.
• The unit is operated by persons who have not received adequate training.
• Changing the process conditions, operating conditions and environmental condi-
tions without the consent of the manufacturer.
Any misuse of the lubricating unit can lead to severe damage to persons and prop-
erty.

1.1 Maintenance safety precautions

Unfavourable operating conditions may require shorter maintenance intervals. The
factors listed below are unfavourable because they either attack the material of the
unit directly or impair the lubrication system.
Timely maintenance of the unit and replacement of worn or damaged parts are es-
sential for safe operation of the unit.

Before all maintenance and servicing:

 Isolate all electrically supplied equip-

ment from the power supply using the
main switch.
 Secure the plant against unintended
restarting with locking devices.
 The lubricating unit is pressurised
during operation. It must therefore be
depressurised before commencing
with upgrades, modifications, repairs
etc.

 Collect dripping oil to prevent risk of

slipping or infection of the product.
Wait until the bowl has come to a
standstill.
 When handling waste oils note:
- Health risks depend on the chemical
composition.
- Dispose of waste oil in accordance
with local regulations.

2.1 Description of unit

The oil-air unit is a device for centrifuges for lubricating the bowl bearings with min-
imal quantities.
The finely dosed lubricant is distributed by an air flow in smears on the inner walls
of the lubricating line and is transported to the lubricating point.
The bowl bearings are discontinuously supplied with lubricant in the form of fine
droplets via a discharge nozzle.
The compact unit works in pulses; a lubrication cycle is followed by a pause.

Tasks of the machine control:

• Control of the pause and pulse times
• Monitoring of the filling level in the oil storage vessel
• Monitoring of the air pressure in the individual lubricating lines
The required lubricating quantity can be precisely dosed for each individual lubri-
cating point.

3.1 Commissioning
• Fill the lubricant vessel through the filler neck 2 up to the maximum mark. Make
sure that no dirt enters the oil storage vessel during filling. Oil quantity and quali-
ty are specified in the "Lubrication and maintenance schedule".
• Check the factory settings of the oil-air unit (see chapter "Adjusting settings").
• Disconnect the oil lines from the bowl bearings.
• The oil-air unit is switched on during start-up of the centrifuge.
- During start-up of the centrifuge, using a sheet of paper, check several times
whether the oil is conveyed to the lubricating points.
- After 10 faulty pulses, the centrifuge is shut down and the control starts the
post-lubrication time. The oil-air unit remains switched on until the post-
lubrication time has expired.
• Connect the oil lines to the bowl bearings.

3.3 Adjusting the oil quantity

The delivery volume per pulse is adjusted by means of the transparent adjusting
sleeves of the injection oiler.
 Pull back the black locking ring.
 The delivery volume is reduced stepwise by turning the adjusting sleeve coun-
terclockwise (-).
- It engages 4x per revolution (audibly and tangibly) so that intermediate set-
tings are also possible.
 The maximum delivery volume is attained again by turning the adjusting sleeve
clockwise (+) until it hits stop.
 Let the black locking ring click into place again.

3.7 Faults
Note:
• The system is insensitive if too much oil is lubricated in the bearing.
• The bearing temperatures normally rise by only 3° - 5°C.
• If the air pressure is too low, the machine is shut down since the lubricating
points are then no longer adequately supplied with lubricant.
- The switching signal comes directly from the pressure switches on the bearing
housings.
• The setting for monitoring the pressure pulses/lubrication pulses is pre-set in the
control at the factory:
- Oil level in lubricant vessel below minimum

3.8 Plant control and monitoring

If a machine control is delivered by GEA Westfalia Separator, control and monitor-
ing of the operation of the oil-air unit is included in the scope of delivery. Corre-
sponding notes and instructions are given in the manual for the machine control.
Plants without control:
In the case of machine controls ordered by the plant operator, the following must
be taken into account for the control of the oil-air unit:
• The pulse and pause time is controlled:
The times are given in the order-specific "Lubrication and maintenance schedule”.

The following is monitored:

• The lubrication pulse
- The pressure switches (8) check at both bearing points whether the minimum
air pressure is achieved during the lubrication pulse and whether it subse-
quently decreases.
- Faulty lubrication pulses are counted up.
- Completed pulses are counted down but not below 0.
- In the case of 5 faulty pulses, a warning and collective alarm are output as a
message.
- In the case of 10 faulty pulses, the machine is shut down.
• The filling level in the lubricant vessel
- A warning signal is given first. If no oil has been topped up after 25000 sec-
onds, the centrifuge is switched off.

4.1 Maintenance schedule

Oil-air lubricating units need little maintenance.

Repair work may only be carried out on a unit which has been de-energised be-
CAUTION
forehand by trained personnel.
Work on energised units can lead to personal injury.
The lubricating unit is pressurised during operation. It must therefore be de-
pressurised before commencing with repairs.

Check regularly:

Machine component Action Operator

Check entire lubricating Operator
 for leakage
unit
 Carry out a visual inspection for leakage, paying particular Operator
attention to the connecting parts at the bearing points. The
Oil lines
latter are exposed to the machine vibrations.
 Re-seal untight connections.
 Fill in oil up to the maximum mark on the filling level indica- Operator
tor.
• The required oil is specified in the order-specific "Lubrication
Lubricant vessel and maintenance schedule" in the machine documentation.
• To avoid mistakes, it is recommended to attach a label speci-
fying the lubricant used to the lubricant vessel.
• Holding capacity: max. 3 litres oil.

Cleaning:
 As required, the compact unit can be cleaned with mild, material-compatible de-
tergents (non-alkaline, no soap).
 Cables and hoses should remain connected if possible. Openings must be
closed to prevent detergents from entering the inside.
 Given a normal operating mode and the use of the lubricants listed in the “Lubri-
cation and maintenance schedule”, cleaning of the interior is not necessary.
 If an incorrect or contaminated lubricant has been filled in by mistake, the inside
of the lubricant vessel must be cleaned. For this purpose, consult GEA Westfalia
Separator.
