Operating Manual for
BAUER Plug & Play Separator System

7.10.4
Automatic operation without clear effluent pump:
In the automatic mode the system is regulated via a pressure sensor and a frequency converter.
The pressure sensor measures the pressure in the separator inlet. The pressure must be set
with the potentiometer in advance (see chapter 7.9). If the pressure in the inlet deviates too
strongly from the set value, a frequency converter regulates the pump speed up or down, until
the preset value is reached again. In the automatic mode, without the clear effluent pump, the
effluent is not pumped off, that means that the effluent pipe must be moved in such a way that
the effluent can flow back in a reservoir (liquid manure pit). In order that the effluent can run off,
the gate valve
4“ of the effluent pipe must be opened and the 3“ ball valve in the base must be
closed(see chapter 7.10.4.1) The automatic operation can only start after a starter cake has built
up (starter cake formation must be done manually and is described in chapter 7.8). After the
starter cake has built up, the operation choice switch on electrical cabinet must be switched to
AUTO. Moreover, in the automatic mode the
1 ½“ ball valve in the inlet T pipe and the overflow
must be closed.
