1.5.9 Maintenance and repair
Unfavourable operating conditions may require shorter maintenance intervals.
The factors listed below are unfavourable because they either attack the sepa-
rator material directly or impair the lubrication/cooling system:
•
Aggressive product (chemical or physical)
•
High product temperature
•
Product with grease-decaying properties
•
Environment: Temperature, dust, vapours
Particularly high-stressed separator
parts like
– Bowl lock ring,
– bowl bottom,
– bowl top and
– other bowl parts with a large outer
diameter
must be checked regularly to assure
safe and efficient operation.
Fig. 45
Timely maintenance of the separator and replacement of worn or damaged ma-
chine parts is essential for safe operation of the machine.
Use only genuine spare parts from Westfalia Separator. Otherwise, safety
risks may arise (see section
1.5.2)
Carry out the required cleaning thoroughly.
One-sided solid deposits in the bowl cause severe unbalance!
Maintenance and repair work may only be carried out to the extent described in
this instruction manual.
Maintenance and repair work not described in this manual may only be
carried out by the manufacturer or by "repair shops" authorized by the
manufacturer.
We, therefore, recommend in your own interest to have your separator in-
spected by our service engineers at regular intervals. These checks help to
maintain the operating safety and avoid unexpected downtime.
