A
fter installing certain critical spare
bowl parts, the bowl must be re-
balanced.
Fig. 15
• The bowl parts are arranged in fixed
positions relative to one another.
• Locking devices and alignment
marks must be in perfect condition.
The bowl must not be operated i
f
these locking devices and alignment
marks are not in perfect condition.
Fig. 16
• When assembling the bowl, be sure
to strictly adhere to the instructions
given in chapter "bowl", in order to
avoid undue unbalance.
• Before starting the bowl, be sure to
fit all parts.
• Tighten the bowl lock ring securely:
the "O" marks on the bowl bottom o
r
bowl top and on the lock ring must
be in line with each other.
Fig. 17
• Check if the machine is completely
assembled and properly installed.

• Carefully fasten hood 1, feed and
discharge housing 2 and centripetal
pump 3.
1.6.2 Electrical appliances
Fig. 19
• The governing accident prevention
regulations apply for the electrical
appliances and installations.
• The frequency and voltage of the
power supply must correspond to
the machine specifications.
• Carry out voltage equalization.
• Observe legal regulations; e.g. in
the EU:
– Low-voltage guideline 73/23/EWG
– Electro-magnetic compatibility
89/336/EWG.
1.6.3 Before start-up
Fig. 20
• Check that the bowl lock ring has
been firmly tightened.
• The "O" marks on bowl bottom o
r
bowl top and on the lock ring must
be aligned.

• The bowl must rotate in clockwise
direction (see arrow on frame or sol-
ids collector).
Fig. 22
• The separator may only be operated
with protection devices conforming
to EN 294.
Equip solid and liquid discharges
accordingly.
Fig. 23
• Check that the lubrication and cool-
ing systems are serviceable.
Fig. 24
• Check whether the supervisory
equipment is operational and the co-
rrect limit values are adjusted.
• When hoods, concentrate collectors
and vessels are pressurized, e.g. by
– inert gas,
– cooling,
– steam sterilization etc.
the pressures stated on the name-
plate must not be exceeded.

• Check that the product lines are set
to operation.
• Regularly check hoses for signs o
f
ageing.
• Check sight glasses for mechanical
damage.
• Replace damaged parts by recondi-
tioned or new parts.

that the polyamide gasket is seated
parallel in the groove.

• Thoroughly clean and dry the groo-
ve.
• Heat the gasket in approx. 80
oC
(176 °F) water for 5 minutes.
• Gasket:
– clean and wipe dry
– lightly press into the groove.
Fig. 212
• Pull the polyamide gasket into the
groove applying a vice at four dia-
metrically opposite points.
Then
• pull the gasket bit by bit into the
groove with the vice.
Use smooth copper jaws.

Guide to ordering spare parts
A rapid and correct supply of spare parts can only be guaranteed if your order
includes the following details:
•Separator model see nameplate
e.g. OSD 35-0136-067
•Serial-No. see nameplate
e.g. 9000-223
•Designation see parts list
e.g. frame
•Part-No. see parts list
e.g. 2050-1100-020
The part number is also marked on almost all the
individual parts.
Only when ordering spare parts for bowls:
•Bowl S/N see bowl lock ring, bowl bottom or bowl shell
if different from the machine serial number.
Only required when ordering pare parts for pump and pump connection parts:
•Model and number of
pump
see pump nameplate
The details must be complete when the part number ends with a letter (e.g.
2050-6600-L), since this indicates that the parts are available in different de-
signs.
Fig. 320
• Use only genuine spare parts from Westfalia
Separator.
The use of non-genuine parts leads to:
– safety risks,
– less durability and availability,
– increased service requirement.
If a safety risk occurs, this may have legal con-
sequences for the responsible persons. In such
cases, Westfalia Separator accepts no liability
or warranty claims.
