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.

labels.
Fig. 2
Refer to the machine documen-

tation!
• Every person who is assigned the
task of installing, operating, main-
taining and repairing the machine
must have read and understood the
documentation.
• The documentation must be com-
plete kept near to the machine and
be readily accessible to the opera-
tors. It must be available to the op-
erators at all times!

Westfalia Separator
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.
2042-9001-203 / 1206
Westfalia Separator
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.
2042-9001-203 / 1206
Westfalia Separator
1.6 Operations on the separator
The separator works reliably, provided

that it is operated and maintained in
accordance with our operating instruc-
tions.
Fig. 11
Special attention must be given to:

• assembly
• starting
• shutting-down
• maintenance and servicing
1.6.1 Assembly
• If the plant has several centrifuges,

be careful not to interchange parts
of different bowls since each bowl
has been balanced individually.
The bowl parts are marked with the
serial-number of the machine or with
the last three digits of the serial-
number.
Fig. 12
• Damaged parts must be replaced

immediately by new parts.
Fig. 13
2042-9001-203 / 1206

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 and vapours
Particularly highly stressed parts such

as
• bowl lock ring,
• bowl bottom,
• bowl top and
• other bowl parts with a large outer
diameter
must be regularly checked to ensure
safe, reliable and efficient operation.
Fig. 36
Timely maintenance and replacement of worn or damaged machine parts is es-

sential 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.
Prior to carrying out any work on

the separator and on electrical plant
components:
• ensure that the separator is at a
standstill,
• switch off all electrical appliances

• Do not heat bowl parts with the

naked flame.
• Bowl parts must never be welded.
This also applies for hood and
solids collector parts of steam-
sterilizable separators.
• Even during cleaning the bowl parts
the temperature must not exceed
100 °C (212 °F).
Fig. 41
• Load-carrying equipment such as

lifting devices for
– bowl or distributor,
– 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. 42
• 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.
• Collect dripping oil to prevent dan-

ger of slipping or product infection.
• When handling waste oils note:
– They can be injurious to health,
depending on their chemical
composition.
– Waste oil must be disposed of in
accordance with local regulations.

1.7 Explosion protection
• Strictly adhere to the prevailing local

rules and regulations for operating
in potentially explosive areas.
An area is "potentially explosive"
when there is (or must be expected)
an explosive atmosphere in such a
volume that specific preventive
measures concerning design, con-
struction, and the use of centrifuges
are required.
Fig. 44
• The operation of centrifuges in "zone 0" areas, i.e. where a dangerous

explosive atmosphere is prevailing continuously or for long periods or
frequently, is not permitted!
• Operation of the centrifuges in
– areas of “zone 1”, i.e. in areas in which dangerous explosive atmosphere is
occasionally present,
– areas of “zone 2”, i.e. in areas in which dangerous explosive atmosphere
are rarely and briefly present,
is only admissible when the centrifuge is equipped for use in explosion-
hazarded areas.
• Only units designed for application in "ex" zones are allowed to be operated in
potentially explosive areas.
• All the electric apparatus of the centrifuge/plant, i.e. motor controls, valve con-
trols, electric heaters, heater control units, electrically operated valves must
be protected accordingly or, if in standard design, must be installed in a sepa-
rate room outside the explosion-hazarded area.
• In the area close to the centrifuge, take the preventive measures provided
under "primary" explosion protection” (ventilation, etc.).
• Feed the centrifuge only with prod-

uct according to the order specifica-
tion.
Fig. 45
• For carrying out repair or maintenance work on the centrifuge installed in a

potentially explosive area, be sure only to use special ignition-preventing
tools.
2042-9001-203 / 1206
Westfalia Separator
• Before using the supplied standard tools in potentially explosive areas, check
the environment of the centrifuge for an explosive atmosphere.
1.7.1 Classification of the centrifuge / plant

The centrifuge/plant complies with the requirements of Group II, Equipment
Category 3 in accordance with the Directive 94/9/EG. The respective tempera-
ture class is specified in the technical documents.
1.7.2 Obligations of the operator

The operator
• must assess the explosion risks and carry out the zone classification.
• must ensure that the centrifuge/installation is correctly erected and tested be-
fore commissioning.
• is responsible for the safety aspects of his centrifuge/installation.
The correct and proper condition of the centrifuge/installation must be main-
tained by regular testing and maintenance.
1.7.3 Before operating the centrifuge in potentially explosive areas

• Read and follow the instructions given in the manual for the Inert gas control
unit!
• Carry out voltage equalization.
• Fill the siphons.
• Purge the hood and drive spaces of the machine with inert gas.
• Fill the sealing chamber and the hood and drive chambers with inert gas, up
to operating pressure (to be checked on the pressure gauge!).
The operating pressures depend on the machine type and can be read in the
machine-specific installation diagrams.
• Check for tightness in compliance with the machine specifications.
1.7.4 Operation of the centrifuge in potentially explosive areas

• Keep the centrifuge inert-gas blanketed during operation.
• Safe operation of the centrifuge can be assured by maintaining a slight inert-
gas overpressure at any point in the gas-tight housing. This is to prevent oxy-
gen from penetrating inside the housing.
However, make sure not to exceed the max. permissible inner pressure of the
centrifuge housing. .
2042-9001-203 / 1206
Westfalia Separator
1.7.5 Shut-down and »Emergency-Off«
• For shut-down refer to the chapter

"operation".
Fig. 46
After shut-down of the machine and when the bowl has stopped rotating, the in-
ert-gas supply must remain in operation until cooling-down to room tempera-
ture.
Otherwise a vacuum will form while the gas volumes in/around the machine are
cooling down. This vacuum will cause oxygen to be sucked into the centrifuge.
A deflagration or an explosion might happen.
1.7.6 Standards and guidelines

The following standards, guidelines and regulations must be observed when us-
ing equipment in explosion-hazarded areas:
• Directive 94/9/EG (ATEX 95)

Equipment and protective systems for correct usage in explosion-hazarded
areas.
This Directive describes fundamental safety requirements and test proce-
dures for application outside of explosion-hazarded areas, which, however,
with regard to explosion hazards, are necessary for the safe operation of
equipment and safety systems or contribute to it.
• Directive 1999/92/EG (ATEX 137)

Protection of safety and health of the employees when working in explosion-
hazarded areas.
This Directive is directed at the operator and contains, among other things,
the necessary specifications and definitions for zone classification required for
assessment.

Basic principle:
The apparatus used in explosion-hazarded areas contain only intrinsically
safe circuits. A circuit is intrinsically safe when no spark and no thermal effect
which occur under defined test conditions (which include normal operation
and certain error conditions) can cause ignition of a certain explosive atmos-
phere.
Main application:
Measuring and control technology, communication technology, sensors, ac-
tuators.

1.8 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. 47
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.

1.9 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. 49
The surfaces most susceptible to erosion are:
1) the bottom of the distributor, the rising channels and the ribs,
2) the centripetal pump (cavitation),
3) all surfaces in the area of the solids discharge ports,
4) the nozzles.
2042-9001-203 / 1206
Westfalia Separator
Signs of erosion which you should

immediately report to your nearest
Westfalia Separator representative:
• The bottom of the erosion mark has
a radius smaller than 1 mm (large
notch effect).
• The depth of erosion mark exceeds
1 mm (0.04 inch) at the deepest
point.

1.10 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.
Possible short-term effects:

• headaches,
• dizziness,
• nausea,
• itching or burning of the skin,
Possible long-term effects:

• allergic reactions, especially skin allergies,
• festering inflammation of the skin pores (oil-acne),
• damage to the central nervous system after inhalation over a long period,
• skin cancer caused by direct skin contact over a long period,
• Lung cancer or cancer of the digestive organs after inhalation over a long period
(not certain as the causes are difficult to separate from the effects of smoking and alcohol).
1.10.1Code of practice and personal protective measures
• Avoid skin contact with heavy oils or lube oils if possible!

- Wear suitable protective gloves.
- Apply a protective ointment to the skin (e.g. ointment no. 76), especially if no protective gloves are
worn!
• Avoid breathing in oil vapours if possible!
• If possible, improve the air circulation in the room!
Fully open the air regulation flaps in the outlets of the air supply ducts in the centrifuge and filter area.
• Wash affected areas of skin frequently and thoroughly!
Apply protective ointment to the skin!
• Personal hygiene is of the utmost importance!
• Change dirty overalls regularly!
• Exercise special care when carrying out maintenance work on and cleaning heavy oil and lube oil cen-
trifuges and filters!

Westfalia Separator
The machine described in this manual is a high-speed centrifugal separator with self-cleaning bowl
briefly called ”separator”.
2.4 General
The separators of the C generation are equipped with a soft-stream feed system
for gentle product treatment. This results in optimum separating efficiency and
higher specific capacities.
The patented HydroStop system enables controlled bowl ejections at full bowl
speed.
"Purification" is the separation of liquid mixtures consisting of two liquid compo-
nents with simultaneous separation of the solids contained in the liquids.
"Clarification" is the separation of solids from a liquid.
Centrifugal separation technology requires that the product components
– can be mechanically separated,
– have different densities and
– are not emulsified.
2.5 OSC …-0136-… and OSC …-0196-…

The separators OSC …-0136-… and OSC …-0196-… with UNITROL system
• are equipped with a self-cleaning disk-type bowl,
• are used for clarification and separation in fuel and lube oil treatment plants.
– Fuel oils with a density of 1.01 g/ml.
– Lube oil with a density up to a density of 0.92 g/ml with simultaneous water
content and sludge space monitoring.
• The separators work without regulating rings.
The separators with the UNITROL system have two inbuilt monitoring functions:
• WMS - (water content monitoring system)
• SMS (sludge space monitoring system)
The most important part of the separator is the bowl. Depending on the applica-
tion, the bowl in version -0136- can be converted:
• as a clarifier/separator bowl (WMS) or
• as clarifier bowl with self-thinker system (SMS).
Converting the clarifier/separator bowl to a clarifier bowl with self-thinker system
and vice versa is possible in just a few easy steps (see fig Fig. 57 or Fig. 58).

The fuel oil is conveyed to the separator by a separate pump or a built-in pump.
The clarified clean oil is discharged (2) under pressure by centripetal pump (12).
The bowl is automatically opened and closed for desludging at full bowl speed
by means of a remote controlled solenoid valve 19 in the operating water line.
The opening time of the solenoid valve is up to 3 seconds.
The partial flow (9) diverted from the bowl via the separating disk (13) and the
sensing liquid pump (11) is monitored by a conductivity sensor (5).
When the sensor registers water, the solenoid valve (8) opens and the water is
discharged through the dirty water outlet (14). The separator functions as a puri-
fier.
When the conductance alters due to oil flow, solenoid valve (8) closes and sole-
noid valve (7) opens intermittently. The partial flow (9) is then recycled into the
feed (1). The separator functions as a clarifier.
The control and monitoring unit (10) ensures unmanned operation.

The SMS for fuel oil treatment is used for clarification in two-stage fuel oil
treatment.
The fuel oil is fed to the clarifier by the discharge centripetal pump of the up-
stream purifier.
by means of a remote controlled solenoid valve (19) in the operating water line.
A small volume of liquid is diverted via separating disk (13) as a partial flow (9).
It is conveyed by the sensing liquid pump (11) to the pressure switch (6) and re-
cycled into the feed (1) via a throttle (21).
When the sensing liquid inlet becomes blocked with water or solids accumula-
tion in the sludge space (15), the pressure switch (6) sends a pulse to the con-
trol unit (10). The automatic ejection program is initiated.
The complete treatment system is monitored by this control system.

The SMS for lube oil treatment is used for the continuous clarification of diesel
engine lube oil.
The lube oil is conveyed to the separator by a separate pump or a built-in pump.
The product is fed in through a closed line system (1).
A small volume of liquid is diverted via separating disk (13) as a partial flow (9).
It is conveyed by the sensing liquid pump (11) to the pressure switch (6) and re-
cycled into the feed (1) via a throttle (21).
Before separation, the sludge space (15) is partially filled with water (3). The
dirty oil is then fed in through feed (1).
During the separation process, solids and water are separated from the oil and
collect in solids holding space (15). When the water reaches the control holes
(20), the partial flow (9) is interrupted. The pressure falls off and the pressure
switch (6) transmits a pulse to the control unit (10).

2.8 Operating principles of the separator
General
The separator bowl determines the field of application for which the separator is
used. The general operating principle of a separator is explained first before de-
scribing the bowl in greater detail.
Liquid mixtures or liquid-solid mixtures can be separated
– in the gravity field of a settling tank or
– in the centrifugal field of a separator
provided that the product components have different densities.
Since the centrifugal field of a separator is considerably more effective than the
gravity field of a settling tank, separation in a separator is a great deal faster
than separation in a settling tank.
2.8.1 Operating principles of the bowl
Fig. 68
1 discharging clarified liquid

2 Sediment
3 incoming contaminated liquid
Purifier bowl
Splitting a liquid mixture consisting of a light and heavy phase, e.g. oil-water,
into its components takes place in the separator bowl in a disk stack.
The disk stack consists of a large number of conical disks positioned on top of
one another. Each disk is provided with spacers so that precisely defined inter-
spaces are formed between the individual disks.
2042-9001-203 / 1206
Westfalia Separator
The complete separation space therefore consists of a large number of parallel

chambers of low height. This produces very small radial sedimentation paths for
the product.
The solids
• collect on the upper wall of each interspace and
• slide down into the solids holding space.
The smooth disk surfaces facilitate sliding of the solids and hence self-
cleaning of the disks.
The components of the liquid mixture (light and heavy phase) are separated in
the separation space.
Clarifer bowl
The clarifier bowl is used when solids are to be separated from a liquid.
The operating principles of the clarifier bowl differ from those of the separator
bowl only in that
• the discharge for the heavy liquid is hermetically sealed.
Only solid/liquid clarification is carried out.

7 Annular piston
In the rotating bowl the incoming, rotating operating liquid (usually water) gener-
ates a high centrifugal pressure. This pressure is utilised for actuating the annu-
lar piston and sliding piston, which closes and opens the bowl.
The sliding piston and the annular piston
• are located inside the bowl bottom as can be seen in the diagram,
• rotate with the same angular velocity as the other bowl parts,
• are axially movable.
Closing the bowl

After start-up of the separator, the shut-off device for operating liquid is operated
with the aid of the control unit.
The operating liquid
• flows into the injection chamber of the bowl bottom and
• from there through feed holes into the closing chamber.
This initiates closing of the bowl.
The annular piston
• moves into closed position.
2042-9001-203 / 1206
Westfalia Separator
The liquid pressure in the closing chamber

• raises the sliding piston,
• presses the sliding piston against the gasket of the bowl top and
• closes the bowl.
Opening the bowl (ejection)

The shut-off device for operating liquid is opened with the aid of the control unit.
The operating liquid
• flows first into the injection chamber and
• from there into the opening chamber.
The annular piston
• rises and
• empties the closing chamber.
The sliding piston
• moves downwards and
• opens the ejection ports in the bowl bottom for the separated solids.

2.8.3 Operating principles of the centripetal pump

The centripetal pump discharges the separated liquid under pressure.
The operating principles of the centripetal pump can be compared with that of a
centrifugal pump.
In case of the centrifugal pump
• the impeller fitted with inclined vanes rotates in a stationary casing;
• the liquid to be pumped flows from the inside to the outside through impeller
vane channels.
The reverse is the case with the cen-

tripetal pump:
• it is fixed to the hood of the separa-
tor;
• its disc, which is provided with
channels, is immersed in the liquid
rotating with the bowl.
Fig. 70
The liquid is peeled off by the centripetal pump and flows into its spiral channels
from outside, its kinetic energy being converted into pressure energy which is
capable of discharging the liquid under pressure.
At a low backpressure the depth of immersion of the centripetal pump is small. It
can, however, be increased by throttling the valve in the discharge line. By this
means it is possible to obtain
– a good liquid seal,
– an air- and foamfree product,
– a higher backpressure.
2.8.4 Operating principles of the sensing liquid pump

The operating principles of the sensing liquid pump is identical to the centripetal
pump.
The sensing liquid pump conveys the sensing liquid to the monitoring system.
2.8.5 Operating principles of the gear

The separator is driven by a standard motor, type B5.
Power transmission to the bowl spindle is effected via a centrifugal clutch to the
worm wheel shaft and from there via a worm gear where the worm wheel is the
driving member and the worm the driven member. Simultaneously the mounted
gear pump is driven by the worm wheel shaft via a safety clutch.
2042-9001-203 / 1206
Westfalia Separator
2.8.6 Operating principles of the centrifugal clutch

The centrifugal clutch
• gradually brings the bowl to its rated speed,
• eliminating premature wear on gear parts and on the motor.
The starting current and the acceleration time can be regulated by the number
of clutch shoes inserted.
For further details refer to sect. 4.8 - Centrifugal clutch.

2.9 Regulating ring (only for OSC . . .-91-. . .)
Function of the regulating ring (explained using the example of oil purifica-
tion)
Efficient dewatering of water-containing oils is only possible when the bowl is
correctly adjusted to the difference in densities between oil and motor.
For this reason, the regulating ring must be selected from the furnished set of
regulating rings (with different inner diameters) whose inner diameter corre-
sponds to the difference in density between the oil and water.
The inner diameter of the regulating ring to be selected can be determined from
the diagram or by experiment. The general rule of thumb is:
• narrow regulating ring for heavy oil,
• wide regulating ring for light oil.
diagram
(using oil purification as an example)
The diagram can be used to determine
– the inner diameter of the regulating ring and,
– if desired, the density of the oil
for a given separating temperature, provided that the density of the oil is known
at a temperature between 15 oC and 90 oC.
Example
Given:
– Density of oil at 20 oC ρoil 20 °C = 0,90 kg/dm3
– Separating temperature t = 70 oC
To be determined:
– Inner diameter of regulating ring d = ?
o
– Density of oil at 70 C ρoil 70 °C = ?
Determined:
– Inner diameter of the regulating ring
d = 110 mm
according to the diagram
– Density of oil at 70 oC
ρoil 70 °C = 0,852 kg/dm3
according to the diagram
If no regulating ring with the determined inner diameter is available, a smaller

ring can be machined to the required size. Before doing that, however, check by
experiment whether the regulating rings furnished with the separator are ade-
quate for optimum dewatering.

2.9.2 Determining the regulating ring by experiment

(explained using the example of oil purification)
The next smallest regulating ring is always chosen to avoid emulsification.
When the regulating ring is too wide
– the water discharging through the water outlet will contain oil.
When the regulating ring is too narrow
– emulsification will occur or
– the oil discharging through the clean oil outlet will contain water.
The water may look milky or dirty. The coloration comes from the washing of the
oil.
In the bowl, a separation zone is formed between the light and heavy phases
whose centre is the separating line.
After opening the bowl, the position of the separating zone can be recognised
by the almost always visible separating line between water and oil on the under-
side of the separating disk.
Correctly selected regulating ring

• The separating line between water
and oil is at the outer edge of the
variable disks.
Effect:
– The discharging clean oil is free of
water.
– The discharging water is free of oil.
Fig. 72
Regulating ring too wide

• The separating line between water
and oil runs
too wide – far outside the disks and
– too close to the outer edge of the
separating disk.
Effect:
– The discharging clean oil is free of
water.
– The discharging water contains oil
or
– oil breaks the water seal.
Fig. 73
2042-9001-203 / 1206
Westfalia Separator
Regulating ring too narrow

• The separating line between the liq-
too narrow uid components does not pass at
the outer edge of the disks but fur-
ther inwards.
Effect:
– The discharging clean oil contains
water.
– The discharging water is free of oil.

3.1 Technical information

Take note of the following sections:
3.1.1 Separation
The best separation efficiency is attained with very low-viscous products.
The separator works economically at the capacities and separating tempera-
tures stated by us.
In the case of deviating products
– see sales documents or
– consult the factory.
When an oil pre-heater is used, a thermostat must be fitted. The temperature of
the feed product must be displayed on a screwed-in thermometer.
3.1.2 Make-up water
Lube oil separation Make-up water, i.e. for instance the dropwise
addition of water throughput the entire separat-
ing time.
This practice was commonplace in the past;
however with today’s high detergent oils (HD =
Heavy Duty) it is now the exception and should
only be carried out after consulting the oil
manufacturer.
Heavy fuel oil separation Make-up water, i.e. for instance the continuous
addition of wash water up to 10 % by vol.
This is accepted practice in fuel treatment for
onshore power plants with gas turbines.
2042-9001-203 / 1206
Westfalia Separator
3.1.3 Notes on separation with the UNITROL system

The centrifuges with UNITROL system are provided with two basic monitoring
systems:
– Water content monitoring system - WMS
– Sludge space monitoring system - SMS
Fuel oil treatment WMS and SMS

Lube oil treatment SMS
• Select the desired operating mode on the control unit.

• Set the separating time on the control unit.
• Start the separator (see 3.2).
3.1.4 General information on bowl ejection

The bowl is ejected automatically at full speed during the program sequence.
The time at which the ejection is triggered is
• determined by the preset separating time (WMS)
or
• by the solids level in the bowl, if:
– SMS was selected on the control unit,
– the sludge space is full before the separating time has elapsed.
For determining the separating time see 3.5.
Ejection mode
• The centrifuge can be operated in total or partial ejection mode.
When treating products containing sticky and viscous solids the total ejection
mode is strongly recommended.
In the case of solids that are easy to discharge, it does not matter which mode
is selected.
Standard version:
One can choose between the total ejection mode or a large partial ejection
unless otherwise specified. Contact the factory if you have different needs.
Ejection cycle (using fuel oil treatment as an example - WMS)

1. Separating time has elapsed.
2. Product feed valve is closed.
3. Displacement water displaces the fuel oil to the clean oil side.
4. Operating water opens and closes the bowl hydraulically at full bowl
speed.
5. Waiting time for speed recovery.
6. Product valve is opened.
7. Separating time resumes.
2042-9001-203 / 1206
Westfalia Separator
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 the displacement liquid supply has to be determined by ex-
periment.
• 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 valuable feed liquid will re-
main in the bowl and then be lost during solids ejection.
• Displacement of the light liquid can also be accomplished by throttling the
valve in the discharge line for heavy liquid.
Flush ejection
If the solids are firmly stuck to the wall and cannot be ejected
– due to an excessively long dwell time in the bowl or
– due to the solids properties,
• either the separating time must be shortened or

• a flush ejection must be carried out after a total ejection by filling the bowl with
water or product and emptying it again.
Program control
• „Displacement", „ejection" 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 optically or acoustically.

3.3 Starting the separator

• See section 3.2.2.
• Purifier:
– Open the shut-off valve in the product feed line.
• Switch on the motor.
Compare the current and starting time with the diagram (section 4.1.4) until
the bowl reaches the speed specified on the separator nameplate after
approx. 4 – 7 minutes.
• Purifier:
– Switch on the oil preheater after switching on the motor!
• Close the bowl hydraulically:
– Briefly open the shut-off valve for operating liquid.
• Open the stop valve in the product discharge.
• Switch on the control unit.
• Check that
– the operating mode selected on the control unit corresponds to the valve
positioning in the system.
• Start the program.
• After the feed valves have opened automatically
– set the backpressure in the product discharge to approx. 1.5 bar;
– adjust the desired throughput capacity;
– when necessary, correct the backpressure in the product discharge.
• Check discharges for sludge and dirty water; there must be no oil flow!
• Check the backpressure in the self-thinker control system. It should be 2 bar.

Westfalia Separator
3.4 Monitoring of operation

The machine is monitored largely by the separator control.
Operations to be carried out regularly:

• On your daily round, especially during the first 1500 operating hours, pay at-
tention to the following:
– Oil level
– Temperatures
– Pressures
– Leakage
– Vibrations
– Current consumption
– Starting time
– Hoses and hose pipes
• Keep to the maintenance schedule (see 4.2.1)!
• Inspection
We recommend having the separator checked regularly by our specialists.
These checks help to
– maintain the operating safety of the machine and
– avoid unplanned downtime.
2042-9001-203 / 1206
Westfalia Separator
3.5 Setting the separation time

When using time-dependent automatic control programs, accurate setting of the
separation time (time between ejection cycles) is only possible if the throughput
capacity and solids loading in the feed remain constant. If this is not the case, it
may be necessary to correct the settings during operation.
The separating time depends on
• the preselected operating mode (partial or total ejection mode),
• the solids loading in the feed,
• the consistency of the solids,
• the effective solids space volume in the bowl,
• the separator throughput.
Given constant conditions, the separating time can be determined by calcula-
tion.
The following times have proven appropriate in practice (examples):
Product Total ejection Partial ejection

HFO 2 h to max. 4 h 1h
MDO 6h 3h
LO mild 6 h to max. 8 h 3h
LO HD 2 h to max. 4 h 1h
3.5.1 Mathematical calculation

Example for mathematical calculation of the separating time:
Given: Solids content (1) p = 0.05 %

Solids holding space volume V = 1,5 l
Solids holding space given 75 % utilisation V' = 1,13 l
(1) o
Throughput capacity V = 2 000 l/h
Wanted: Separating time t = ? min
The separating time to be set is calculated as follows:
V’ 1,13
t = ——— • 60 • 100 = —————— • 6 000 = 67,8 min = 1,1 h
V° • p 2 000 • 0.05
(1)
Solids content and throughput capacity must be determined on site or taken from
the order specification.

4.1 Installation of the separator

• Refer to the corresponding dimensioned drawing in the chapter “Ma-
chine description”.
• For further information see installation guidelines.
2042-9001-203 / 1206
Westfalia Separator
4.1.1 Transporting the separator
• Prevent accidents by using suitably rated hoists for transport and in-
stallation.
• Always transport the separator without installed bowl!
• For special tools, see section Parts list.
• Attach the transport ropes

– Thread through the eye bolts and
– hang them into the load hook of
the hoist as illustrated.
Wind one piece of rope twice
round the hook to prevent the
ropes from slipping.
• Make sure that the ropes do not

damage any machine components.
• Do not use the eye bolt of the mo-

tor to suspend the separator.
• Make sure the machine touches

down gently.

4.1.3 Installing the separator – VARIANT II

• 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.
• Align separator 1 with feet 2 and

plates 3 on foundation 4.
• Tack plates 3.
• Unscrew screws 5.
• Lift separator with feet (see section
4.1.1).
• Weld plates 3 to foundation 4.

The separator is driven by a three-phase AC motor via a centrifugal clutch.

The specified motor ratings are minimum values which have been specified un-
der consideration of the starting current. Since the current consumption of the
motor drops after start-up, overloading of the motor during operation is not pos-
sible.
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 must be taken into consideration when selecting switches, the
lead-in wire and fuses.
The motor
2042-9001-203 / 1206
Westfalia Separator
– can be started direct on-line,

– is protected against overheating by thermal overload releases or a motor
overheating protection unit.
When using thermal overload releases, the motor has to be protected as fol-
lows:
– during operation by a release set to the rated current and
– during start-up by a second release set to 1.8–2 times the rated current.
The release set to the rated current must be bridged during start-up.
Overheating protection is only possible if PTC thermistors are built into the mo-
tor winding.
Note!
• The temperature feelers must be connected to a commercial tripping device.
• External voltage higher than 2.5 volts must not be applied to the connection
terminals of the temperature feelers.
• When testing for continuity, use an ohmmeter and not a test lamp.

4.1.5 Direction of rotation of the bowl
• Fill the gear chamber with oil up to

the upper mark on the sight glass.
• Switch on motor.
Fig. 84
The bowl must rotate in clockwise direction when looked at from above.
The direction of rotation of the bowl is

correct when the revolution indicator
disk rotates clockwise.
Note:
When the direction of rotation is incor-
rect the motor connections must be
reversed by an authorised specialist.
Fig. 85
In case of frequency converter

operation:
• Before working on the motor,
note that residual voltage may be
present!
• In this connection:
– Read the documentation supplied
by the frequency converter manu-
facturer.
– Have protective measures imple-
mented by suitably qualified per-
sonnel.

4.1.6 Speed and starting time of the bowl
Speed see nameplate

– for densities of the heavy liquidup to max.
1.05 kg/dm3 and
– for densities of the centrifugally dry solids up to
max. 1.4 kg/dm3
approx. 4 – 7 min
Starting time
The bowl speed has been defined so as to take into account the operating
safety of the separator.
If the stated densities are exceeded, consult the factory.
• Check the spindle speed (= bowl

speed) with a hand tachometer:
– before the first start-up,
– after replacing the gear.
• Carry out the check before fitting the
bowl.
The revolution indicator disk indi-

cates whether and in which direction
the bowl is rotating.
The bowl speed is correct when the
revolution indicator disk does the fol-
lowing revolutions:
Motor speed
65 RPM → n = 1 455 RPM
78 RPM → n = 1 745 RPM
Speed deviations up to 5 % are ad-

missible.
Revolution indicator disk
Fig. 87
2042-9001-203 / 1206
Westfalia Separator
In case of frequency converter operation:

The frequency converter is equipped with a reliable frequency limitation to pre-
vent operation at inadmissibly high bowl speeds.
• The separator must not be operated

without frequency converter!
• Do not under any circumstances
manipulate the frequency con-
verter to exceed the permissible
bowl speed (see nameplate).
• Check from time to time that
– the bowl speed (see nameplate)
and
– motor frequency (see nameplate
and frequency converter display!)
coincide with the separator speed.

4.2 Maintenance and lubrication
• Special care must be taken when performing maintenance and lubrication operations.
Conscientiously performed maintenance and lubrication operations improve the service life of
the separator.
• In the case of accessories (motor, product pump, preheater, solenoid valve block etc.) the manu-
facturer’s maintenance and lubrication instructions must be observed.

If oils with high-pressure additives are used for lubricating our separators, so-
called EP oils (EP = Extreme Pressure), they must not have a corrosive effect
on copper base alloys (see appendix, lube oil table).
If the gear has been run in with a mineral oil, a change-over to synthetic
oil will be required when intending to separate highly aromatic mineral
oils (crude oils, naphtha, etc.).

Filling quantity approx. 4 l

Minimum oil level up to lower sight glass mark
Maximum oil level up to upper sight glass mark
During operation the oil level must never drop below the lower sight glass mark;
do not forget to top up in good time!
OIL CHECK
• Check the oil level weekly!
• From time to time, undo the oil drain screw and check whether water is con-
tained in the oil bath. If the oil shows a milky colouring (emulsification), re-
place the oil immediately.
OIL CHANGE
• First oil change after about 750 operating hours.
• Subsequently, change the oil after
– 1500 operating hours or 6 months (mineral oil) at the latest.
– 4000 operating hours or 12 months (synthetic oil) at the latest.
• Whenever changing the oil, thoroughly clean the gear chamber with thin-
bodied oil.
• Carefully remove metal particles from the walls and corners.
• Use only lintfree cloth (no cotton waste)!
• Clean the sight glass.
(as time passes a rim can form on the inside of the sight glass which one
might think is the oil level.)

4.2.6 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.
Some of the separators mentioned have immersion lubrication. Power is transmitted to a worm wheel
gear with a relatively high tooth load. The operating temperature of the separator exceeds normally 80
o
C. 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.
EP oils (EP = Extreme Pressure), i.e. oils with high pressure additives, may only be used if they have no
corrosive effect even in the event of water seeping into the oil sump. Since tests carried through with
various types of standard EP oils have shown that there are great differences in the intended effect of
marked interfacial activity and aggressiveness of EP additives on bronze toothed wheels, EP oils may
only be used if they do not attack bronze.

Observe the following to attain max. possible service life of the gear:
• Follow the standard maintenance instructions.
• Use approved synthetic lube oils as specified in chapter 4.2.3.
• Regularly check the lube oil level.
• Check the bowl starting time (if necessary, reduce the number of clutch
shoes).
• Avoid external vibrations.
• Assemble and maintain the foundation components as directed.
• Remove the bowl when the separator is shut down for a long period.
Information on gear wear

In the case of short gear service lives caused by
• uneven wear to gear (unbalance),
• Pittings on the contact surfaces of the teeth,
consult Westfalia Separator.

4.3.2 Cleaning the bowl

It is generally not necessary to dismantle self-cleaning bowls for cleaning after
separation unless
– the nature of the product makes it necessary,
– the separator is to be shut down for a lengthy period (see section 4.14).
• Dismantle and clean the bowl for checking from time to time. See section
4.2.1 - Maintenance schedule.
• Use only a cleaning agent that is approved for the field of application!
• Do not use acid or chloric cleaning agents.

Chlorine attacks stainless steel parts.
• Dissolve dried scale with citric acid.
• For cleaning the individual disks and bowl parts

Do not use metal scrapers and metal brushes!
• Take the gaskets out of the bowl

parts.
• Clean the grooves and gaskets to
avoid corrosion in the grooves.
• Replace damaged, very swollen,
hardened or brittle gaskets immedi-
ately.
Fig. 148
• Clean the small holes for the feed and discharge of the operating liquid with
particular care to ensure trouble-free bowl ejections.
• Clean the distributor between the

ribs with the brush on the inside and
outside.
When the distributor neck is very
dirty, the feed clogs which can cau-
se overflow.
Fig. 149
• Apply a thin coat of grease to the guide surfaces and threads of the bowl
parts after drying (see 4.2.4 Lubrication schedule).
• Reassemble the bowl immediately after cleaning.

4.3.3 Cleaning the frame
Danger to life through electrical components!

• Never rinse off the motor with a direct water jet.
• Use only a cleaning agent that is approved for the field of application!
• Do not use acid or chloric cleaning agents.

Chlorine attacks stainless steel parts.
• Dissolve dried scale with citric acid.

• Clean the inside of the upper section of the frame from time to time:
To do this:
– Refer to the maintenance schedule (section 4.2.1),
– dismantle the bowl (section 4.3.1).
• Place a cloth over the spindle.

When the bowl is not fitted, make
sure the no cleaning agent pene-
trates into the gearbox via the spin-
dle, rendering the gear oil unserv-
iceable.
Fig. 150
4.3.4 Cleaning the strainer and the operating water feeding system
• The strainer and the operating water feeding system must be cleaned de-
pending on the quality of the operating water and overall load. See section

4.3.5 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 4.3.2) and assembling instructions
(section 4.3.6) must be exactly followed.
Pay particular attention to the following:
• Before assembling the bowl, check to be sure that the guide and contact sur-
faces of the bowl are clean.
• Grease the guide surfaces as specified in the lubrication schedule (see 4.2.4).
• When fitting the bowl 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. 151
• Avoid damage to bowl parts when fitting and removing by

• Use only suitably rated, intact hoists.
• Do not use force when removing or fitting parts.
• If the plant has several separators,

be sure not to interchange parts of
different bowls (danger of imbal-
ance).
The parts are marked
– with the serial number or
– the last three digits of the serial
number.

4.8 Motor and centrifugal clutch

General
The centrifugal clutch
– serves to transmit power between the motor and gear.
– brings the bowl gradually up to rated speed.
– is extremely gentle on gear and motor.
The starting time can be regulated by the number of clutch shoes.
The smaller the number of clutch shoes used, the
– smaller the friction coefficient,
– longer the starting time,
– gentler the load on gear and motor.
The clutch shoes must always be --- evenly spaced in the clutch driver, depend-
ing on whether the power transmission is to be small or high.
Note that the new clutch shoes will drive better after several starts.
Smoking of the clutch is normal during the first starts and disappears by itself af-
ter a short operating time.
If the bowl reaches its rated speed in

less than 4 minutes (see nameplate),
and the current consumption of the
motor is inadmissibly high during the
starting time (Imax >2 x IN),
• reduce the number of clutch shoes
used to 3 or 4 .
• Pay attention to even spacing of the
clutch shoes.
Fig. 291
• The wear to the clutch shoes depends on the

– number of starts,
– ejection frequency.
• Check the condition of the clutch shoes from time to time (see lubrication and
maintenance schedule).
• The clutch shoes must be replaced in good time (before the linings have
worn down to the sheet metal) to prevent the contact surface of the clutch ring
from being damaged by the sheet metal.
Damage to the contact surfaces causes premature wear to the clutch linings.
• Be sure to always replace all clutch shoes at the same time to avoid imbal-
ance.
Never replace individual clutch shoes!

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. OSC 30-0136-066
• 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. 342 cases, Westfalia Separator accepts no liability
or warranty claims.
