15.3 CAKE BREAK-UP PROTECTION
A cake break-up means that the cake is shot out and the supplied medium leaves the separator un-
separated via de mouth piece.
The FAN press screw separator can be equipped on op-
tion with a limit switch at the weight arms of the output
regulator.
This switch is set so as to switch off the separator when
the weight arms fall below their horizontal position (dur-
ing normal operation). The weight arms fall below their
horizontal position when the solid matter cake has got
lost and hence the double flap has been closed.
15.4 MOUTH PIECE EXTENSION
For media which are difficult to dewater, the pressing
zone of the separator can be extended.
On option, the FAN press screw separator can be
equipped with a mouth piece extension.
This extension is clamped on the standard mouth piece
in the pressing zone of the separator. As a conse-
quence, the solid matter cake must pass a longer way
and can hence be squeezed better.
15.5 HOUSING SPACER RING
On option, the FAN press screw separator can be
equipped with a housing spacer ring.
This optional equipment also helps to achieve a higher
dry matter content by means of a prolonged pressing
zone. A spacer ring (20 or 40 mm) is screwed between
the inflow housing and the screen housing.
