Active in
Partial ejection
Operat. water valve V3 opens.
The solids space of the bowl is partially ejected by
actuating the operating water valve V3 (option).
X X X
Displacement water valve V”
opens.
The bowl content is displaced without loss by
actuating the displacement water valve V2.
If selected in the control system, the time is calcu-
lated automatically during the sensor check.
X X X
Filling water valve V2 opens.
The required water seal in the bowl is created by
actuating the filling water valve V2.
If selected in the control system, the time is calcu-
lated automatically during the sensor check.
Filling water is also active during the WMS
sensor check on HFO separators.

Time elapses before the displacement water func-
tion when key “Process START” has been ac-
tuated.
X X X
Total ejection
Operat. water valve V3 opens.
The solids space of the bowl is emptied by actuat-
ing the operating-water valve V3.

Speed recovery after
total ejection
Time to reach operating speed after speed drop
during total ejection.

Operat. water valve V3 opens.
Time for safety closing water to keep the bowl
closed during separation.

an alarm is triggered.
After this time has expired, standard alarms like
PAL1/PAH1, TAL/TAH, PAH2 etc. are triggered.

X X X
In the case of a pressure drop
during this time, the product
feed valve V! is closed and an
alarm and an ejection are
triggered. After this time has
expired, the product feed valve
V1 is closed and an ejection is
Time during separation in which a system pressure
drop (SMS) is evaluated as an alarm during this
time.
The time starts together with the separating time
T20. A pressure drop agter this time has expired
triggers an ejection (“self-thinker” control).
