Separating temperature
For some types of process liquids (e.g. mineral
oils) a high separating temperature will normally
increase the separation capacity. The
temperature influences oil viscosity and density
and should be kept constant throughout the
separation.

Viscosity
Low viscosity facilitates separation. Viscosity can
be reduced by heating.

Phase proportions
An increased quantity of water in a oil will
influence the separating result through the
optimum transporting capacity of the disc stack. !
An increased water content in the oil can be
compensated by reducing the throughput in order
to restore the optimum separating efficiency.

3.2 Overview
The separator comprises a processing part and a
driving part. It is driven by an electric motor (6).
Mechanically, the separator machine frame is
composed of a bottom part, a top part and a
collecting cover. The motor is flanged to the frame
as shown in the illustration. The frame feet have
vibration damping.
The bottom part of the separator contains the

The bottom part also contains an oil bath for the
worm gear, a brake and a revolution counter,
indicating speed.
A pump (3) is attached to the driving spindle and
