4.1 Overview
The separator comprises a process section and
a drive section powered by an electric motor.
The separator frame comprises a lower body
and a frame hood. The motor is attached to the
frame. The frame feet dampen vibration.
The bottom part of the separator contains a flat
belt transmission, a centrifugal clutch and a
vertical spindle. The lower body also contains
an oil sump for lubrication of spindle bearings.
The frame hood contains the processing parts
of the separator; the inlets, outlets and piping.
The process liquid is cleaned in the separator
bowl. The bowl is fitted on the upper part of a
vertical spindle and rotates at high speed inside
the frame hood. The bowl also contains the
discharge mechanism which empties the sludge
during operation.
A speed sensor, and the optional unbalance
sensor and lock switch, are parts of the
equipment for monitoring the separator
functions.
