Make sure that all warning labels are visible and easy to read as shown in the figure.

B.3. Centrifugal extractor description

The machine is used for separating two or more phases of different specific weight, particularly
when clarifying a liquid containing solid suspensions.
The solid-liquid separation occurs inside a cylindrical truncated-conical rotating bowl, on the walls
of which the heavier solid phase builds up after being continuously discharged by the internal
scroll (see cap. B.3.1 pos.3).
In order to improve efficiency of the solid-liquid separation, the product fed into the machine may
be enriched with a suitable polyelectrlolyte additive chosen for its specific features.
The polyelectrolyte favours the aggregation and sedimentation of the solid particles.
The polyelectrolyte is not alwyas compatible with the product being processed; it is generally
used for dehydrating sludge and is not used in intermediate processes of product transformation
nor for processing foodstuffs.
Frame rotor part

The frame of the machine is welded carbon steel, stainless steel or carbon-steel joint.
The product is introduced into the rotating bowl (4) through the fixed tube (10) rigidly supported
to the mounting rack, through the distribution chamber and the centrifugal force, the product
is distributed on the annular peripheral region of the bowl. The centrifugal action causes the
stratification in the order of specific gravity (heavier on the solid outermost layer of the liquid from
the drum and then more heavy to light), creating the separation between the phases.
Transmission
An electric motor transmits movement directly to the bowl through a belt transmission
system.
In bowl-scroll kinematic scroll is inserted an electrical-mechanical (ROTOVARIATOR). The
transmission system is constructed so as to obtain a ratio of speed between bowl and scroll,
which is ideal for processing. It also provides mechanical protection of the gearbox and other
organs from any excessive force that may occur during processing.

C.2. Noise emission

During processing, the machine operates at the following noise level:
- Average noise pressure level: Lpm = 87 dB (A).
This measurement was carried out in accordance with UNI EN ISO 3744 - UNI EN ISO 3746
standards.
The values given were measured with the machine in standard working configuration with all
safety devices correctly installed.
Note
The noise value shown is the emission level and is not necessarily a safe operating
level.
Despite the fact that there is a relationship between emission levels and exposure levels,
such relationship cannot be used in a reliable way to determine whether further precautions
are necessary or not.
The factors determining the level of exposure to which workers are submitted, include
duration of exposure, workroom characteristics and other sources of noise (number of
machines, adjacent processes etc.).
Furthermore, the max. permissible levels of exposure may vary from country to country.
In all cases, the information given will enable the machine user to make a better assessment
of the hazard and risk to which he is submitted.

Attention
Before assembly, please ensure the machine is earthed in accordance with all European
Standards (EN).
Attention
Make sure that the electricity supply network voltage is compatible with the characteristics
listed on the data plate of the machine (220/380 V or 380/660 V).
Voltage fluctuations above ±5% of the nominal voltage value listed on the data plate
could permanently damage the compressor and the other electromechanical instruments
which, in this case, will not be covered by warranty.
National standards for electrical installation must be observed.

Line 220 M (220/380) Line 380 M (220/380)

Attention
Check that the motor rotates in the direction of the arrow shown on the support flange.
I.5.2.2. Back drive electrical connections
Refer to the specific manual in the “Attachments” section
I.5.2.3. Product supply connection.
The connection between the feed pump (preferably a single-screw type pump) and the machine
must be carried out using the flexible tubes provided; a threaded coupling is included on the
pump side.
The flow of clarified liquid from the disharge pipe must be unobstructed, as illustrated in the
picture, in order to avoid it stagnating in the machine’s liquid chamber.
The draining holes must drain feely or, alternatively, through vertical tubes (max. length to the
ground).

I.5.3. Feed and discharge of the separated phases.
The liquid to be clarified is fed into the machine through a horizontal pipe that is coaxial with
respect to the machine’s main shaft, and is forced outwards onto the bowl’s surface due to
centrifugal force.
The feed pipe slides axially with respect to the machine; this allows for adjusting and selecting
the feed point in different positions indicated on the tube by several reference marks (A).
The two outlets of the separated phases, i.e. solid sediment and clarified liquid, are located on
opposite sides of the bowl: the liquid outlet is on the cylindrical side and the solid outlet is on
the truncated-conical side.
The clarified liquid flows out of the bowl through circumferential slits located on an appropriately
contoured ring.
The overflow level is determined by a counter-ring adjusted on the desired diameter (adjustment
ring) so as to set the thickness of the liquid layer inside the bowl.
The choice of the adjustment ring diameter, and thus of the thickness of the liquid layer, depends
on the type of product being processed and on the desired results.
The solid product leaves the bowl through radial holes located on the truncated-conical end of
the bowl and is then projected by centrifugal force onto the inside walls of an annular collection
chamber created inside the framework of the machine.

J.1. Foreword
Danger
Read the “Safety” section of this manual in its entirety before starting work.
J.2. Inspections and examinations before starting
Attention
Prior to machine start-up, it is necessary to check that:
- The motor voltage and the terminal board connection correspond to the mains electricity
voltage.
- The feed pipe is securely fixed to the support arm.
- The transmission and return belts are well taut.
- The oil level in the reduction gear complies to that specified in M.4.4.1.
- The bowl’s locking screws, used for handling operations, do not block the bowl’s
rotation.
- Check the correct levels and, if necessary, top up the various elements with oil, liquid
or lubricant, making sure the new products have the same features as those used
previously.

J USE 46 - EN
J.3. Settings
Optimal processing of each product and efficient liquid-solid separation requires an adequate
balance between:
- low content of solid substances in the “clarified liquid” effluent (high amount of captured
sediment);
- low content of liquid in the “solid” effluent (high concentration of solid substance).
These process requirements are influenced both by the machine’s operating parameters and by
the process parameters, as indicated in the table.
Moreover, the success of solid-liquid separation is also influenced by the formation of a solid
layer in the bowl-scroll interspace.
This layer may be formed with difficulty when using certain types of products, or when certain
excessively fine-grained solid substances are processed.
Consult the technical assistance information PIERALISI
The machine is supplied to users with a series of adjustment rings in order to vary the thickness
of the liquid layer in the bowl.
Morevor, for optimal operation, the feed point must be adequately adjusted.
In order to vary the bowl speed and the scroll-bowl differential speed, consult the Technical
Assistance section PIERALISI.

J.4. Overflow threshold adjustment
The overflow threshold must be adjusted according to the type of product being processed and
the desired results.
- Before intervening on the machine,. disconnect it from all power sources, wait until all moving
parts come to a standstill and ensure that the various parts have cooled to near room
temperature.
- Dismantle the inspection window (A) by loosening screws (B).
Be careful with the seal (C).
- Rotate the bowl manually by moving the pulley (G) until the overflow threshold adjustment
plates are visible from the inspection window.
The adjustment system comprises 5 striker plates (D) to be replaced according to the desired
overflow threshold.
- Loosen screws (E) and remove the striker plate.
- Add the striker plate for the desired overflow threshold (refer to the diameter stamped on the
plates or the desired overflow threshold with striker plate (D) (see table).
- Repeat the adjustment for all the plates.
- Re-assemble the inspection window (A) by fixing screws (B) and making sure that the seal
(C) is inserted correctly.

J.6. Switching the machine On and Off
Attention
Loosen the bowl’s locking screws (A) completely, two on each side (cap. H.3.1).
Store the transport brackets for future machine transportation.
Attention
See instructions on the control panel of the machine.
J.6.1. Procedure for switching the machine On
The machine is switched on as follows:

- Turn the main switch in a clockwise direction.
- Release the “emergency” button (if activated).
- Select the terminal operating the cycle you want.
- Press the “Start automatic cycle” automatically starts the ROTOVARIATOR.
The main motor operating speed is reached gradually (transition time in the region of 1
minute).
Once all the authorisation signals are received, start the feed pump to feed the machine.
The discharged solid phase must be conveyed by gravity directly onto a collector container or
onto a conveyor scroll (or belt conveyor).
Attention
It is fundamental to prevent solid phase from clogging the discharge area as this will
cause the machine to break down.
The discharged liquid must be conveyed by gravity directly, or through tubes, into the collector
container.
Avoid sudden variations in quantity and quality when feeding cloudy substances into the machine,
as this may determine defective separation or other process/operational anomalies.
J.6.2. Procedure used to switch off the machine

To stop ROTOVARIATOR simply switch off the main engine of the decanter, the ROTOVARIATOR
you will have a fixed speed during the stop, then turn off automatically after a certain time.
Machine shutdown following the end of the work shift or due to anomaly-related emergencies
must be performed according to the following procedure:
- Press the “Stop cycle” button (E).
- Press the “Activate auxiliary circuits” button to interrupt power to the controls.
Reducing the operating speed to zero requires a technical time (in the order of 15 minutes) due
to the high moment of inertia of the rotor and liquid ring inside it.
Reduce cleaning then restart the machine at 1500 rpm, in order to remove any solid residues
between the feed pipe and scroll shaft.
This is done in order to prevent the feed pipe from breaking.
Attention
Failure to implement the procedures described may compromise correct machine
operation!

J USE 51 - EN
J.7. Automatic stoppage
Attention
All manoeuvres for stopping the machine are automatically controlled from the electric control
panel (typically through PLC).

M.4. Routine maintenance
M.4.1. Cleanness
For efficient operation of the machine clean the internal parts with an industrial vacuum cleaner
to facilitate maintenance, checking procedures and repairs.
M.4.1.1. Washing with water
Once the machine operation power supply has been disconnected in order to perform normal
downtime procedures (at the end of a shift) or following emergency stoppages due to the breakdown
of system accessory parts, we recommend washing the machine as follows:
- Run hot or cold water (or a suitable washing liquid), depending on the type and temperature
of product processed, through the supply hose.
The washing procedure should continue until all the solid phase has been rinsed out and the
liquid runs clear.
This operation is necessary to prevent the product from stagnating and fermenting inside the
internal parts of the machine; this may lead to bad odours (undesired in foodstuff processing,
or similar) and, above all, may cause the machine’s fixed and moving parts to adhere to each
other.
The latter obstruction should be avoided at all costs, in order to prevent problems from occurring
when the machine is restarted (excessive power absorption at the main motor).
M.4.2. Cleaning cycles
M.4.2.1. Bowl-scroll cleaning cycles
Carry out regular cleaning cycles, especially at the end of processing (at the end of the work
shift), using the feed pipe.

M.4.2.2. Framework-bowl cleaning cycles
Carry out regular cleaning cycles, especially at the end of processing (at the end of the work
shift).
Carry out regular checks on the framework’s drain holes and on the inside of the framework, by
dismantling the side inspection hatches.
Attention
Make sure that the inside of the framework is kept constantly clean and that the drain
holes function efficiently.

M.4.4. Lubrication
Attention
Attention
Always adhere strictly to the lubrication standards listed below.
M.4.4.1. Cycloidal reduction gear
The cycloidal reduction gear operates in an oil bath

It includes two side caps for discharging oil (A) and for bleeding air (B).
The two caps are opened whenever oil is fully replaced, in order to ensure that the reduction
gear is optimally topped-up.
The presence of oil is checked visually in tank (C) .
An electrical system with a float switch is located inside the tank and activates whenever the oil
level falls below the minimum allowed level, thereby shutting down the centrifuge.
For emptying and successive topping up operations, use the relative caps after 2000 hours of
operation:
A. Add-oil and drain-oil caps
B. Air bleed cap
Once the reduction gear is filled, top up the safety tank.
C A
Cycloidal reduction gear lubrication:

- Recommended oil: KLUBERSYNT UH1 6-150
- Required quantity: Approx. 3,5 litres
- Oil replacement: Every 2000 hours of operation (vedi M.3).

M.4.4.2. Bowl unit bearings
The bowl unit bearings are lubricated with grease, thanks to the automatic lubrication system
(A).
Check the amount of lubricant inside the tanks on a weekly basis.
Recommended grease: PIERALISI GREASE (see M.3).

M.4.4.3. Scroll unit bearings
The scroll unit bearings are lubricated with grease.

They are equipped with lubricating devices (C) for topping up the grease level; this operation
must be carried out using 25 gr for each lubrication point.
Recommended grease: KLUBERSYNT UH1 64-1302
Grease top-up: After every 250 hours of operation or at the end of the season (see M.3).
Attention
Disconnect the machine from all power sources, wait until all moving parts come to a
complete standstill and ensure that hot parts cool to room temperature.
Danger
Search for lubrication points by moving the belts manually. Handle with care, risk of crush
injuries.
Attention
If the bearings are greased by an hand pump, is strongly recommended to use the
standard manual greasing pump, which is normallysupplied with the machine.
Attention
If the bearings are greased manually,
avoid introducing excessive amounts of grease as this may cause it to spill out of the
openings of its normal housing both when the machine is at a standstill and, above all,
when it is operating. This leads to fouling of the surrounding areas and greases the
transmission belts, causing them to slip.
Description of the operation of greasing bearings

1. Remove the carter.
2. Rotate the bowl until you find the point of greasing (C) and transfer to a convenient location
to do this.

Description of the operation of greasing bearings

1. Remove the carter.
2. Remove the door, rotate the bowl to expose the greasing point (C) in conjunction with the
door itself.
M.5. Placing the machine out of service for a prolonged period of disuse
In the event of prolonged disuse perform the following operations on the machine:
- Thorough cleaning.
- Lubrication of all moving parts.
- Anti-rust surface treatment for all unpainted metal parts (apply oil).
- Cover the machine with a waterproof tarpaulin to protect it from dust and damp.

A. Foreword
This attachment contains information on the electronic rotovariator installed on the machine
described in the general manual.
Attention
This publication is an appendix of the general manual of which it is an integral part, and
completes the latter only regarding the information herein contained: consult the general
manual for any topics not outlined in the appendix.
B. Description
The rotovariator is an electric machine that includes the relative electronic equipment for adjusting
the extractor’s processing phase
The control device includes sensors for the bowl and VFUROO speeds and, therefore, a differential
speed indicator.
Variations in quantity and quality of the product being processed are sensorised by the rotovariator
torque response, which is capable of restoring optimal processing conditions by modulating the
parameter of the differential speed between bowl and VFUROO.
The rotovariator allows for optimising the machine’s work cycle and prevents interruptions during
the cycle. This ensures uniform results regardless of the type of product introduced into the
machine.
The same device also ensures the operational and mechanical safety of the extractor and the
relative epicycloidal reduction gear.

D.1. Rotovariator electrical connections
Carry out the electrical connection between the electrical panel and the sliding contacts of
rotovariator (A), paying particular attention to the earthing sliding contact (B).
Attention
Check (with the centrifuge bowl at a standstill) that the motor rotates in the correct direction,
i.e. that indicated by the arrow located on the support flange.
If this does not occur, invert the power supply cables.
Note
The power supply cables may have been inverted during the course of repair work on the
electrical circuit; it is important to thus check the direction of rotation.
