1 Safety Instructions
The centrifuge includes parts that rotate at high
speed. This means that:

Kinetic energy is high

Great forces are generated

Stopping time is long
Manufacturing tolerances are extremely fine.
Rotating parts are carefully balanced to reduce
undesired vibrations that can cause a breakdown.
Material properties have been considered
carefully during design to withstand stress and
fatigue.
The separator is designed and supplied for a
specific separation duty (type of liquid, rotational
speed, temperature, density etc.) and must not be
used for any other purpose.
Incorrect operation and maintenance can result in
unbalance due to build-up of sediment, reduction
of material strength, etc., that subsequently could
lead to serious damage and/or injury.
The following basic safety instructions therefore
apply:

Use the separator only for the purpose
and parameter range specified by
Alfa Laval. Applies not only to the process
but also to cleaning and service liquids.

Strictly follow the instructions for
installation, operation and maintenance.

Ensure that personnel are competent and
have sufficient knowledge of maintenance
and operation, especially concerning
emergency stopping procedures.

Use only Alfa Laval genuine spare parts
and the special tools supplied.
