INSTALLATION
The CSI Centrifuge is shipped as a completely assembled unit. The machine should be installed
exactly as received.
Location of the centrifuge with respect to its auxiliary servicing equipment should be carefully
studied. Although the centrifuge requires very little space, adequate working space should be
provided around the machine. Wear parts such as the screen, flites and rotor must be attended to
relatively often. This means the water shield, which is approximately 55" in diameter, weighing
approximately 300 pounds, must be stored or placed out of the way for removal of the remaining
parts. To obtain more detail on additional parts removal, refer to the maintenance section.
To assist in routine maintenance, a Monorail should be placed directly above the machine for parts
removal. It is suggested that enough capacity be constructed into the rail to lift the complete gear unit,
which weighs approximately 460 pounds.
A swing away or easily removable feed chute should be used. This will make maintenance much
easier and should be considered when designing the feed chute.
A level foundation should be provided. The machine has been machined level at the factory,
therefore, leveling after installation should not be necessary.
Because the centrifuge is mounted direct to the foundation, rigid connections can be made to the
effluent openings. However, it is desirable to provide an opening in the effluent line so that spot
checks can be made to determine the screen condition. A screen with larger openings than the
machine screen can be inserted into the effluent to check the particle size going through the machine
screen. If large pieces appear on the check screen, the machine screen should be changed.
The 30 HP main drive motor should have the oil pressure switch, flow switch, and oil pump motor
wired into its circuit. By wiring the oil pump motor, flow switch and pressure switch into the main
motor controls; one can be assured that proper lubrication will always be maintained.
Always wire the main motor for clockwise rotation when looking into the main rotation motor shaft
end or as marked on the outside base wall. For proper machine operation, the rotation direction must
be observed.
ALL MACHINES AND CONTROLS SHOULD BE GROUNDED AND WIRED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES AND LOCAL CODES AND
ORDINANCES.
