Study instruction manuals and observe the
warnings before installation, operation,
service and maintenance.
Not following the instructions can result in

serious accidents.
In order to make the information clear only foreseeable conditions

have been considered. No warnings are given, therefore, for
situations arising from the unintended usage of the machine and its
tools.

1 Safety Instructions
The centrifugal separator includes parts that

rotate at high speed. This means that:
• Kinetic energy is high
• Great forces are generated
• Stopping time is long
Manufacturing tolerances are extremely fine.

Rotating parts are carefully balanced to reduce
undesired vibrations that can cause a breakdown.
G0010411
Material properties have been considered
carefully during design to withstand stress and
fatigue.
The separator is designed and supplied for a
specific separation duty (type of liquid, rotational
speed, temperature, density etc.) and must not be
used for any other purpose.
Incorrect operation and maintenance can result in
unbalance due to build-up of sediment, reduction
of material strength, etc., that subsequently could
lead to serious damage and/or injury.
The following basic safety instructions therefore
apply:
• Use the separator only for the purpose
and parameter range specified by
Alfa Laval.
• Strictly follow the instructions for
installation, operation and maintenance.
• Ensure that personnel are competent and
have sufficient knowledge of maintenance
and operation, especially concerning
emergency stopping procedures.
• Use only Alfa Laval genuine spare parts
and the special tools supplied.
7
DANGER
Disintegration hazards
• Use the separator only for the purpose

and parameter range specified by
Alfa Laval.
• If excessive vibration occurs, stop
separator and keep bowl filled with
liquid during rundown.
S0051311
• When power cables are connected,
always check direction of motor rotation.
If incorrect, vital rotating parts could
unscrew.
• Check that the gear ratio is correct for
power frequency used. If incorrect,
subsequent overspeed may result in a
serious break down.
S0055611
• Welding or heating of parts that rotate
can seriously affect material strength.
• Wear on the large lock ring thread must
not exceed safety limit. φ-mark on lock
ring must not pass opposite φ-mark by
more than specified distance.
• Inspect regularly for corrosion and
erosion damage. Inspect frequently if
process liquid is corrosive or erosive.
8
DANGER
Entrapment hazards
• Make sure that rotating parts have come

to a complete standstill before starting
any dismantling work.
• To avoid accidental start, switch off and
lock power supply before starting any
S0051111
dismantling work.
• Assemble the machine completely
before start. All covers and guards must
be in place.
Electrical hazards
• Follow local regulations for electrical
S0051011
installation and earthing (grounding).
WARNING
Crush hazards
S0051711
• Use correct lifting tools and follow lifting

instructions.
• Do not work under a hanging load.
Noise hazards
• Use ear protection in noisy

2.7 Interface description

2.7.1 Scope
This document gives information, requirements
and recommendations about operational
procedures and signal processing for safe and
reliable operation of the separator. It is intended
for designing auxiliary equipment and control
system for the separator.
2.7.2 References
This Interface Description is one complementary
document to the separator. Other such
documents that contain necessary information
and are referred to here are:
• Interconnection Diagram
• Connection List
• Technical Data
• Motor Drive Data
Standards referred to are:

• EN 418 Safety of machinery - Emergency
stop equipment, functional aspects -
Principles of design.
• EN 1037 Safety of machinery - Prevention of
unexpected start-up.
32
2 Technical Reference 2.7 Interface description
2.7.3 Definitions
For the purpose of this document, the following
definitions apply:
• Synchronous speed: The speed the
machine will attain when it is driven by a three
phase squirrel-cage induction motor and
there is no slip in the motor and the drive
system.
• Full speed: The synchronous speed minus
normal slip.
2.7.4 Goal
To eliminate situations that can cause harm, i.e.
injury, damage to health or property and
unsatisfactory process result are e.g.:
Situation Effect
Unbalance caused by uneven sediment Too high stress on bowl and bearing system
accumulation in the bowl. which might cause harm.
Too high bowl speed. Too high stress on bowl which might cause harm.
Access to moving parts. Can cause injury to person who accidentally
touches these parts.
Insufficient cleaning of separator. Unsatisfactory product quality.
Bowl leakage. Product losses.
Information and instructions given in this

document aim at preventing these situations.
Control and supervision can be more or less
comprehensive depending on the type of used
control equipment. When a simple control unit is
used it would be impossible or too expensive to
include many of the functions specified here while
these functions could be included at nearly no
extra cost when a more advanced control unit is
used. For this reason functions that are
indispensable or needed for safety reasons to
protect the machine and/or personnel are
denoted with shall while other functions are
denoted with should.
33
2.7.5 Description of separator

modes
For control purposes the operation of the
separator should be divided into different modes.
The normally used modes are described below
but other modes might exist.
It is assumed that:
• The separator is correctly assembled.
• All connections are made according to
Connection List, Interconnection Diagram,
Motor Drive Data and Interface Description.
• The separator control system is activated.
If above conditions are not fulfilled the separator

is unready for operation.
STAND STILL means:

• The power to the separator motor is off.
• The bowl is not rotating.
STARTING means:
• The power to the separator motor is on.
• The bowl is rotating and accelerating.
RUNNING means:
• The power to the separator motor is on.
• The bowl is rotating at full speed.
• RUNNING is a collective denomination for a

number of sub modes which e.g. can be:
− STAND BY: Separator is in a waiting
mode and not producing.
− PRODUCTION: Separator is fed with
product and producing.
− CLEANING: Separator is fed with
cleaning liquids with the intention to clean
the separator.
34
STOPPING means:
• The power to the separator motor is off.
• The bowl is rotating and decelerating.
• STOPPING is a collective denomination for a

number of sub modes which e.g. can be:
− NORMAL STOP: A manually or
automatically initiated stop.
− SAFETY STOP: An automatically
initiated stop triggered by too high
vibrations.
− EMERGENCY STOP: A manually
initiated stop at emergency situations.
This stop will be in effect until it is
manually reset.
2.7.6 Handling of connection

interfaces
Electrical connections
701 Separator motor
The separator is equipped with a 3-phase
squirrel-cage induction motor especially designed
for long and heavy start. This motor is intended to
be started with a star-delta starter. Turnover from
Y to ∆ can alternatively be controlled by timer (for
time see Motor Drive Data).
The star-delta starting equipment shall be
dimensioned for twice the rated current of the
motor. The overload relay shall be dimensioned
for 0,58 x the nominal current and connected only
in ∆-line.
There shall be an emergency stop circuit
designed according to EN 418 and a power
isolation device according to EN 1037.
There shall be a start button close to the
separator that shall be used for first start after
assembly of the separator.
There should be a counter to count number of
running hours.
35
There should be a current transformer to give an

analogue signal to the control unit about the
motor current.
730 Temperature sensors, motor winding

The separator motor is equipped with three
thermistor sensors, one in each winding. The
sensors are connected in series and shall be
connected to a thermistor relay that gives a signal
when the temperature exceeds the tripping level
(see Connection list).
Signal processing in STAND STILL and

STOPPING:
• The signal should trigger an alarm and
interlock start.
Signal processing in any other mode:

• The signal shall trigger turn over to NORMAL
STOP.
750 Vibration sensor (option)

For indication of any abnormal unbalance and to
be able to perform appropriate countermeasures,
the separator can be equipped with a vibration
velocity transducer on the separator frame. The
signal from the transducer shall be monitored and
two alarm levels according to the vibration alarm
levels in Technical data should be set. The
vibration level shall be high for 3 seconds to
generate an alarm. The first level is only used to
generate an alarm while the second level shall
stop the machine.
The vibration monitor shall include self check
function to be performed at least at initiation of
STARTING.
If vibrations exceed the second alarm level the
separator shall be stopped the quickest way
possible and it shall not be restarted until the
reasons for the vibrations have been found and
measures to remove them have been taken.
36
Signal processing in STARTING:

• If vibrations exceed the second alarm level
the separator shall be stopped automatically
by SAFETY STOP.
• For bowl speed exceeding 600 r/min vibration
monitoring shall be blocked. In the absence
of a speed sensor the vibration monitoring
shall be blocked after a corresponding time
period derived from ‘‘2.10 Motor
specifications” on page 44.
• If the self check system triggers, an alarm
shall be given and an automatic stop by
NORMAL STOP shall be initiated.
Signal processing in RUNNING:

• If vibrations exceed the first alarm level an
alarm should be given. Vibrations of this
magnitude will reduce the expected life time
of the bearings and should therefore be
eliminated.
• If vibrations exceed the second alarm level
the separator shall be stopped automatically
by SAFETY STOP.
shall be given.
Signal processing in STOPPING:

shall be given.
Signal processing in NORMAL STOP:

• If vibrations exceed the second level the
system shall turn over automatically to
SAFETY STOP.
37
760 Cover interlocking switch (option)

The separator can be equipped with an
interlocking switch to detect if the cover is
mounted.
Signal processing at STAND STILL:

• The circuit is closed when the cover of the
separator is mounted.
• The interlocking switch should be connected
in such a way that starting of the motor is
prevented when the separator cover is not
mounted.
Signal processing in STARTING and RUNNING:

• If the circuit is broken the separator should be
stopped automatically by NORMAL STOP.
This is to minimise the risk of having access
to moving parts.
Fluid connections
Complementary information is given in the
document Connection list.
201 Inlet for process liquids (feed)

Processing in STAND STILL:
• Shall be closed.
Processing in STARTING:
• Should be closed. Bowl will be open and
empty or closed and filled depending on if
start is done from STAND STILL or
STOPPING.
Processing in RUNNING:
• Should be closed or open.
• Shall be closed before a discharge.
38
Processing in NORMAL STOP or EMERGENCY

STOP:
• Could be closed or open but the bowl should
be filled unless the stop is initiated in
STARTING.
Processing in SAFETY STOP:

• Could be closed or open but the bowl shall be
filled unless the stop is initiated in
STARTING.
206 Inlet to liquid seal

• More than 15 litres of heavy phase (water),
(connection 206) shall be supplied before
feed (connection 201) is supplied after
STARTING (and after closing of the bowl).
• More than 15 litres of water heavy phase
(water), (connection 206) should be supplied
before feed (connection 201) is supplied after
a discharge (and after closing of the bowl).
220 and 221 Outlets

• Could be closed or open.
Processing in other modes:

• Shall be open.
39
372 Inlet for discharge liquid

• A discharge is initiated by opening connection
372 for 3 seconds.
• After a discharge has been triggered the
motor current or bowl speed should be
monitored to indicate if there comes a current
peak or a sudden drop in speed. The
absence of such a signal indicates that the
discharge has failed and corrective action
should be taken (e.g. trigger a new
discharge). Absence of a discharge may
result in problems due to solidification of the
sediment.
That the current returns to original value after
discharge could also be supervised. If current
is much higher after the discharge this might
be an indication that the bowl has not closed
properly after the discharge.
• For service purposes there should be a
counter to count number of discharges.
376 Inlet for make-up liquid

• Opening connection 376 for 15 seconds
closes the separator bowl.

2 Technical Reference 2.8 Quality specification
2.8 Quality specification
2.8.1 Operating water

Operating water is used in the separator for several different functions: e.g. to operate the
discharge mechanism, to lubricate and cool mechanical seals, etc.
Poor quality of the operating water may with time cause erosion, corrosion and/or
operating problem in the separator and must therefore be treated to meet certain
demands.
7KHIROORZLQJUHTXLUHPHQWVDUHRIIXQGDPHQWDOLPSRUWDQFH
1.1 Turbidity-free water, solids content <0,001% by volume.

Deposits must not be allowed to form in certain areas in the separator.
1.2 Max particle size 50 µm.
2. Total hardness less than 180 mg CaCO3 per litre, which corresponds to 10 °dH or
12,5 °E.
Hard water may with time form deposits in the operating mechanism. The precipitation
rate is accelerated with increased operating temperature and low discharge
frequency. These effects become more severe the harder the water is.
3. Chloride content max 100 ppm NaCl (equivalent to 60 mg Cl/l).
Chloride ions contribute to corrosion on the separator surfaces in contact with the
operating water, including the spindle. Corrosion is a process that is accelerated by
increased separating temperature, low pH, and high chloride ion concentration.
A chloride concentration above 60 mg/l is not recommended.
4. pH>6
Increased acidity (lower pH) increases the risk for corrosion; this is accelerated by
increased temperature and high chloride ion content.
NOTE
Alfa Laval accepts no liability for consequences
arising from unsatisfactorily purified operating
water supplied by the customer.

3 Storage and Installation
3.1 Introduction
These installation specifications & recommenda-
tions are valid for separator GT 40.
In cases where specific requirements from a
classification society or other local authority exist,
these must be followed.
Most of the installation instructions are Specifica-
tions, which are compulsory requirements.
The specifications are sometimes completed with
non-compulsory Recommendations, which will
improve the installation quality, if followed.
Additional installation information, such as
drawings, connection lists and interface
description, can be found previous in this chapter.
NOTE
If the specifications are not followed,
Alfa Laval can not be held responsible for
any malfunctions related to the installation.
3.2 Protection, storage

and transportation of
goods
3.2.1 Protection and storage

Specification
• Upon arrival to the store, check all
components and keep them:
− Well stored and protected from
mechanical damage.
− Dry and protected from rain and humidity.
55
3.2 Protection, storage and transportation of goods 3 Storage and Installation
• All system equipment, both the separator and

the ancillary equipment, must be stored
indoors at 5 - 55 °C, if not delivered in water-
resistant box for outdoor storage.
If there is a risk for condensation of water, the
equipment must be protected by ventilation
and heating above dew point.
The following protection products are
recommended:
− Anti-rust oil (Dinitrol 112 or equivalent)
G0402741
with long lasting effective treatment for
external surfaces. The oil should prevent
corrosion attacks and give a waxy In a special water-resistant box for outdoor storage
surface.
− Anti-rust oil (Dinitrol 40 or equivalent) thin
and lubricating for inside protection. It
gives a lubricating transparent oil film.
− Solvent, e.g. white spirit, to remove the
anti-rust oil after the shut-down.
• If the storage time exceeds 12 months, the
equipment must be inspected every 6 months
and, if necessary, the protection be renewed.
• Until connecting the separator to external
piping, all inlets and outlets to separator and
accessories must be covered to be protected
from dirt and dust.
3.2.2 Transportation
Specification
• During transport of the separator, the bowl
must always be removed from the
machine.
• When lifting a separator it must always be
hung securely. See chapter ‘‘2.12 Lifting
instructions” on page 52.

3.3 Installation principles
3.3.1 Planning of installation

The separator shall be placed in such a way that
suitable space for maintenance and repair is
obtained.
Specification
•
G0020611
See chapter ‘‘2.9 Foundation drawing” on
page 42 for the service space required with
the separator installed. Check the drawings when planning the installation
• An overhead hoist with a capacity of 1000 kp
(10 kN) is required for transport of bowl parts
to the working bench. Lifting points should be
above the centre of the separator.
Recommendation
• It may be necessary to use permanent or
portable platforms in order to make operation
and maintenance easier.
• It is recommended to install a work bench in
X0073741
the separator room. Hot water, compressed
air and diesel oil should be available near the
work bench to make maintenance work Portable stages or platform
easier.
• The spanner for the large lock ring should
have sufficient space to make a complete
turn without touching any of the ancillary
equipment surrounding the separator.
• When two or more separators are installed it
is recommended to plan the installation in
such a way that parts from one separator do
not have to be lifted over another separator.
Otherwise, the lifting height should be
increased to enable the bowl parts to be lifted
and moved over an adjoining separator.

58
3 Storage and Installation 3.3 Installation principles
3.3.3 Connections to surrounding

equipment
Specification
• If the local safety regulations prescribe that
the installation has to be inspected and
approved by responsible authorities before
the plant is put into service, consult with such
authorities before installing the equipment
and have the projected plant approved by
them.
• Ensure that all service media (compressed
air, electric power, operating, cooling and
safety liquids etc.) required for the separator
have the correct quality and capacity. See
chapter ‘‘2.8 Quality specification” on page 41
for requirements of compressed air and
operating liquid.
In cases where supply failure of the service
media might cause damage, automatic
supervision is recommended. This applies to
operating media for solids discharging
separators where a failure could cause
imbalance or water leakage into the
lubricating oil.
• If the starting equipment containing the main
switch is placed in such a position that it
cannot be seen from the separator, most local
safety regulations require that a separate
safety switch must be installed in the power
supply to the separator motor.
• As the separator stands on soft rubber
mountings, always design the pipe-work to
and from the separator in such a way that
there will be sufficient flexibility. Possible
vibration should not be allowed to be
transmitted via the piping.
For specification of flexibility for feed inlet and
outlets, see any of the Basic size drawings
starting on page 28.
• Only motors (including necessary monitoring
equipment) specified by Alfa Laval may be
fitted to the separator. Violation of this can
cause severe damage and create a safety
risk for the personnel. Motor drives of variable
speed must not be used unless approved by
Alfa Laval and used in combination with
appropriate safety devices.
59
3.3 Installation principles 3 Storage and Installation
• Design the system is such a way that there is

always an open outlet for liquid from the bowl
casing drain outlet.
• If the sediment from the separator is
discharged into a tank, this tank must be
sufficiently ventilated. The connection
between the separator and the tank must be
of the size and configuration specified. See
further information in ‘‘3.5 Tank and pipings
for drainages and sludge” on page 62.
• If the solids are discharged from the
separator bowl casing into a closed system,
ensure that this system cannot be overfilled
or closed in such a way that the solids cannot
leave the bowl casing. This could cause a
hazardous situation. See further information
in ‘‘3.5 Tank and pipings for drainages and
sludge” on page 62.
• Ensure that the pressure of the cooling liquid
in the jackets cannot exceed the specified
limit in ‘‘2.6 Connection list” on page 30.
Excess pressure will cause damage.

3 Storage and Installation 3.4 Foundations
3.4 Foundations
NOTE
When lifting a separator it must always be
hung securely. See chapter ‘‘2.12 Lifting
instructions” on page 52.
Specification
• The separator should be installed at floor
level, see chapter ‘‘2.9 Foundation drawing”
on page 42.
• The separator must be installed on a strong
and rigid foundation to reduce the influence of
vibrations from adjacent machinery.
• Fit the separator frame on the foundation as
follows:
- Place the separator frame without
cushions in position.
- Check that the bolts do not press against
the edges of the holes, otherwise the
elasticity of the mounting of the separator
frame will be impeded.
- Fit height adjusting washers required.
- Check that the separator frame is
horizontal and that all feet rest on the
G0258911
foundation.
- Lift the separator frame, fit the vibration 1. Vibration damper, upper
