Oil must be taken care of in agreement with local
regulations.
Rubber and plastics should be burnt at a licensed
waste incineration plant. If not available they
should be disposed to a suitable licensed land fill
site.
Bearings and other metal parts should be sent to
a licensed handler for material recycling.
Seal rings and friction linings should be disposed
to a licensed land fill site. Check your local
regulations.

NOTE
Mechanical cleaning is likely to scratch the

quicker and adhere more firmly.
A gentle chemical cleaning is therefore
preferable to mechanical cleaning.

NOTE
Presence of metal chips in the oil bath is an
indication that the gear is wearing
abnormally.

2 Maintenance Directions
Important!
When using mineral-type oil in the worm gear
housing, the presence of black deposits on the
spindle parts is an indication that the oil base has
deteriorated seriously or that some of the oil
additives have precipitated. If pitting is found on
the worm gear, the cause could be that the
additives are not suitable for this purpose.
In all these cases it is imperative to change to a
high-temperature oil.
For further information, see chapter 2.5

NOTE
The Lubrication chart, general can be complemented with more detailed charts, showing the
lubrication points in detail and what type of lubricant to use.
Instructions related to a specific design of the machine, refer to the general assembly drawings.
Some application processes demand special lubrication.
If not specified otherwise, follow the suppliers recommendation about method of application.

2.5 Lubricants
Group A oil: a high quality gear oil on paraffin base with stable AW
(anti wear) additives.
Group B oil: a high quality gear oil on paraffin base with stable EP
(extreme pressure) additives.
Group D oil: a synthetic base oil with additives stable at high operating
temperatures.
Do not mix different oil brands or oils from different oil groups.
Always use clean vessels when handling lubricating oil.
Great attention must be paid not to contaminate the lubricating oil. Of
particular importance is to avoid mixing of different types of oil. Even a
few drops of motor oil mixed into a synthetic oil may result in severe
foaming.
Any presence of black deposits in a mineral type oil is an indication that
the oil base has deteriorated seriously or that some of the oil additives
have precipitated. Always investigate why black deposits occurs.
NOTE
Always clean and dry parts (also tools) before lubricants
are applied.
CAUTION
Check the oil level before start. Top up
when necessary.

NOTE
G0120431
WARNING
Disintegration hazards
If excessive vibration occurs, keep bowl

The cause of the vibration must be identified
and corrected before the separator is
restarted. Excessive vibration can be due to
incorrect assembly or poor cleaning of the
bowl.

NOTE
Using an incorrect bearing can cause a
serious breakdown with damage to
equipment as a result.
Do not re-fit a used bearing. Always replace
it with a new.
Dismantling
For bearings where no driving-off sleeve is
included in the tool kit, remove the bearing from
its seat by using a puller. If possible, let the puller
engage the inner ring, then remove the bearing
with a steady force until the bearing bore
completely clears the entire length of the
cylindrical seat.

Assembly
Leave new bearings in original wrapping until

new bearing should not be removed before
use.

45
Lubrication
NOTE
Since roller bearings are normally treated
only with rust protection oil from the factory,
an initial lubrication of new bearings must
always be performed whenever bearings are
replaced.
The initial lubrication implies adding a few
drops of lube oil to the bearings. Use the
same oil type as in the separator worm gear
housing.
46
2 Maintenance Directions

2.7.2
Before shutdowns
NOTE
The bowl must not be left on the spindle
during standstill for more than one week.
Vibration in foundations can be transmitted to
the bowl and produce one-sided loading of
the bearings. The resultant indentations in
the ball bearing races can cause premature
bearing failure.

NOTE
If any doubt how to mount roller bearings in a
correct way, see the detailed description in
chapter 2.7.1 Ball and roller bearings on page
41.
NOTE
Since roller bearings are normally treated only
with rust protection oil from the factory, an initial
lubrication of new bearings must always be
performed whenever bearings are replaced.
The initial lubrication implies adding a few drops
of lube oil to the bearings. Use the same oil type
as in the separator worm gear housing.
