FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
The BAUER Plug & Play Separator System is a compact mobile separation unit with all components installed
within a minimal space in order that these can be transported quickly and easily to another location. It serves
for separating pump able slurry (solid-liquid mixtures with relatively low solid matter content and no foreign
bodies such as metal parts, stones, wood or rags) into solid and liquid (thin slurry, effluent) fractions. As a
compact device, it contains the following components: separator, eccentric screw pump as feed pump, rotary
discharge pump and electronic control mounted to a stable frame with forklift-compatible features. The indi-
vidual components are optimally integrated into the design for guaranteed stability and a long lifespan.
The BAUER Plug & Play Separator System is designed for sustained operation outdoors. It operates unim-
paired in a temperature range of 0 to +40°C; in event of freezing temperatures, it must be ensured that the
separator, feed pump and discharge pump as well as all pipelines are cleaned completely each time before
being taken out of operation.
The eccentric screw pump is controlled by a pressure sensor and feeds the slurry to the separator. In the
inflow area of the separator, the mixture is drained of water via gravity inside the sieve. The interior screw
transports the pre-drained material horizontally toward the solid outlet. Along the last section of the transport
path, the screw presses out additional liquid, which escapes the separator through the sieve without pressure
as thin slurry.
The required contact pressure is applied to the escaping solid by a system consisting of a cap loaded by a
weighted lever. The liquid phase can be transported into a lagoon or elevated tank, for example, using the
available clear flow pump.
