6 PREPARATION FOR INITIAL START-UP
Before beginning the start-up process, check the following measures:
1. The separator must be firmly anchored to the ground.
2. Make sure that the mouth piece and the functioning of the separator can be seen clearly from
the switch cabinet [it must be possible to watch the solid cake and its discharge speed].
3. Check the rotation direction of the auger. As viewed from the mouth piece, the auger must turn
counter-clockwise [if this is not the case, two phases must be swapped in the case of a 3-phase
power supply].
4. If the material is supplied by a pump, the rotation direction of the pump must also be checked
and corrected, if necessary.
5. A starter cake of solid material must be inserted for the start-up, see section 7 Initial Start-up.
6. Supply of sealing medium, see also section 13.1.1. When using grease as the sealing medium,
3 to 5 cm
3
of grease must be introduced via the lubricating nipple [see Fig. 13-1] before initial
start-up in order to fill the labyrinth seal.
7. Check the oil level in the gearbox and top up, if necessary; properly dispose of old oil.
8. Check: The supply line between the pump and the separator is connected and sealed; the over-
flow line is connected and sealed; open discharge into the storage container; line for drainage
of the separated medium connected and sealed; open discharge into storage container.
9. Motor protection circuit breaker set to required rated current; after switching on, verify the cor-
rect rotation direction; note the arrow on the mouth piece; switch off the motor again.
10. Remove the weights (minimum closing force).
WARNING
It must be ensured that no large foreign bodies such as metal parts, stones, wood
pieces or rags enter into the separator; such objects would otherwise overload
the screen and the auger in particular. It should also be noted that abrasive media
(e.g. high sand content) will reduce the service life of the components.
WARNING
The filling components must be connected such as to prevent injuries and to
comply with the statutory regulations and safeguards.
7 INITIAL START-UP
Note
In order to achieve good separating results, it is necessary to mix the pumped
medium well before separating.
7.1 CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS
Two weight arms and weights are available to stabilize the
solid cake and to adjust the dry matter content. These weights
should be affixed as necessary.
