    Why GEA OSE 20-0136-067 Cleaning Equipment bowl does not come up to rated speed?
    • J
      Janice CarlsonAug 6, 2025
      The bowl may not reach the rated speed due to several reasons. It could be that oil has run down the spindle onto the drive belt, causing it to slip. The motor might be incorrectly connected. There might be an insufficient number of clutch shoes, or they may not be evenly spaced. The drive belt could be stretched or incorrectly fitted. Also, liquid or dirt in the upper frame section could be braking the bowl. To resolve this, clean the belt contact surface of the spindle and clutch pulley, and replace the drive belt if necessary. Check the motor connection and increase the number of clutch shoes, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Verify the drive belt's position and check the operating water discharge, cleaning the inside of the upper frame section.

    What to do if GEA OSE 20-0136-067 Cleaning Equipment bowl speed drops during operation?

      Sarah SosaAug 13, 2025
      If the bowl speed drops during operation, it could be due to oily friction surfaces on the clutch shoes. Wipe these surfaces dry, but avoid using benzene, trichlorethylene, or any other solvent. Another cause might be a stretched drive belt, in which case you should replace it. Lastly, the motor speed itself may be dropping; check the motor and line voltage to ensure they are correct.

    How to fix uneven run of GEA Cleaning Equipment centrifuge?
    • K
      Kimberly WalkerAug 21, 2025
      An uneven run of the centrifuge can occur if the bowl is out of balance. This imbalance can be caused by uneven dirt deposits, incorrect bowl assembly, interchanged parts from different bowls, slackened disk stack tension (check if the bowl top is screwed on to the O mark alignment and if there are enough disks), or damaged bowl parts. Another cause could be worn ball bearings. If the bowl is out of balance, shut down the separator, and close the product feed and discharge. Completely open the water supply if the bowl leaks. Replace damaged bearings, using only the ball bearings specified in the parts list.

    Why GEA OSE 20-0136-067 Cleaning Equipment bowl reaches rated speed too fast?
    • D
      Dr. Julie Robinson MDAug 28, 2025
      If the bowl reaches the rated speed too quickly, it may be due to using too many clutch shoes. Reduce the number of clutch shoes and ensure they are evenly spaced.
