4.3.2 Cleaning the bowl
It is generally not necessary to dismantle self-cleaning bowls for cleaning after
separation unless
– the nature of the product makes it necessary,
– the separator is to be shut down for a lengthy period (see section 4.9).
•
Dismantle and clean the bowl for checking from time to time. See section
4.2.1 - Maintenance schedule.
•
Use only a cleaning agent that is approved for the field of application!
•
Do not use acid or chloric cleaning agents.
Chlorine attacks stainless steel parts.
•
Dissolve dried scale with citric acid.
•
For cleaning the individual disks and bowl parts
Do not use metal scrapers and metal brushes!

Clean the grooves and gaskets to
avoid corrosion in the grooves.

hardened or brittle gaskets

ately .

Clean the small holes for the feed and discharge of the operating liquid with
particular care to ensure trouble-free bowl ejections.

•
Clean the distributor between the
ribs with the brush on the inside and
outside.
When the distributor neck is very
dirty, the feed clogs which can cau-
se overflow.
•
Apply a thin coat of grease to the guide surfaces and threads of the bowl
parts after drying (see 4.2.4 Lubrication schedule).
•
Reassemble the bowl immediately after cleaning.
