Microseparator™ Daily Operation
The following procedures are intended as a guide for the daily operation
of the Microseparator™. They should be used only after the machine has
been properly installed and commissioned by a qualified technician. All
operators of the Microseparator™ should read the entire instruction
manual and know where to find a copy at all times. TIMER SETTINGS
SHOULD NEVER BE ADJUSTED WITHOUT PRIOR REVIEW BY TRAINED
PERSONNEL OR BAZELL TECHNOLOGIES. SEVERE DAMAGE TO MACHINE
CAN OCCUR IF DONE IMPROPERLY.
22.1
Preliminary Checks
1.
Confirm power is on at the remote Chip Separator Tanks or Pump
Stations.
2.
Clean the screen on the main tank with a soft bristle brush. See
Screen Box Operation and Service
on the following page.
3.
Check air supply at main air regulator is 4 bar (60 psig.)
4.
Check air purge regulator set to .5 bar (7 psig.)
5.
Empty the swarf cart under the Microseparator™ centrifuge:
6.
Confirm coolant concentrate and defoamer containers are full.
7.
Confirm tank water at appropriate level.
8.
If surfacing operations, check coolant concentration using a
refractometer. Performing this step once per day is a good industrial
practice.
22.2
Startup
1.
Turn main breaker to on position.
2.
Press the SEPARATOR button and then START. Listen for unusual
noises or vibrations. The machine is equipped with a vibration switch
that will set the machine into a cleaning operation if sufficient
vibration is present.
3.
A timed delay prevents the centrifuge feed valve from opening until
after approximately 10 seconds have passed. Insure that the feed
pump is operational.
4.
Observe flow from the Microseparator™ outlet back into the tank.
5.
Observe flow across the screen box on top of the main tank. Debris
should be observed collecting on the screen. Flow across the face of
the screen should be observed to be 5-10 GPM.
