Page 7: Qualified Operators
The BAUER separator may be used and operated only by persons who are familiar with the sys- tem and aware of the hazards involved. All relevant rules for accident prevention as well as any other generally accepted rules and regula- tions relating to safety, occupational medicine and traffic laws must be strictly observed. -
Page 8: General Instructions For Safety And Accident Prevention
The system may only be started up if all protective and safety-related features are fully functional. This in- cludes the fact that all removable protective features, EMERGENCY STOP buttons and covers must be present and functional. Operating Manual for Bauer Separator Compact... - Page 9 If the BAUER separator is installed on an elevated platform, this must be equipped with a railing. The plat- form should be sufficiently dimensioned to allow maintenance and service work.
- Page 10 Always ensure sufficient ventilation when working with slurry! When working with biologically active materials in connection with the BAUER separator or connected com- ponents, the decomposition of these materials can lead to the production of life-threatening gases, espe- cially in enclosed spaces.

Page 11: Function Description
The solid-liquid separation depends entirely on the type of slurry. For example, the extent to which wa- ter can be drained differs greatly between dairy cattle, beef cattle and pig slurry. Users of the BAUER separator have many options for optimizing the separating result. -
Page 12: Setup Of The Separator
It is recommended that the corresponding electrical control for the separator or for the separator and the Bauer submersed motor pump be pur- chased from BAUER since it will be already adapted to the corresponding drive motors. -

4.7 SETUP AND ASSEMBLY The basic dimensions of the BAUER separator for determining the dimensions of the setup location are shown in Fig. 4-3. The dead weight of the Separator Compact is approx. 380 kg. [mm] 1080 1389 1220 Fig. 4-3 Dimensions of Separator Compact Fig. -
Page 16: Complete System
The supply line available with the BAUER separator as an accessory is a reinforced yet flexible tube. This reinforced tube is resistant to negative pressure. Ventilation openings can be added to the inflow line through the connection of a breather pipe to the inflow element. The ventilation is required for a pump with a very high pump capacity since the high flow speed in the overflow line would otherwise produce a siphon effect that would limit the supply to the separator and impair the separation process. -
Page 17: Inflow Setup
Connection or transition elements for tubes (for the inflow and drainage lines) are available as acces- sories from your dealer or the BAUER company. If no Bauer pump is installed, the pump for supplying the separator should have a pump rate NOTE of at least 15 m³/h since the capacity of the separator otherwise cannot be fully utilized. -
Page 18: Electrical Connection
It is recommended that the corresponding electrical control for the separator or for the separator and the submersed motor pump be purchased from BAUER since it will be already adapted to the corre- sponding drive motors. -

To do this, place a cake formation aid made of foam rubber that Fig. 7-2 Discharge flaps can be purchased as an option from BAUER behind the flaps or firmly pack by hand some other fibrous material such as hay, stray, silage, etc. -
Page 22: Configuration To Stabilize The Solid Cake
Depending on the medium, the adjust- ments described above must be performed multiple times upon startup until a stable condition is reached and the performance of the separator is optimized. Abb. 7-5 cake too soft Operating Manual for Bauer Separator Compact... -
Page 23: Additional Instructions For Flawless Operation
It may be necessary to thaw the solid cake with hot water before the separator can be operated normally. In order to ensure optimal operation in regions with prolonged cold periods, the separator should be installed in a shelter or room protected against freezing.

In principle, only the auger can be recoated to be used again; the screen cannot be recoated. In order to ensure the necessary quality and precision, the recoating of the auger may only be per- formed by a workshop authorized by BAUER. WARNING Never hire another shop to recoat the auger for you since incorrect performance and failure to observe the necessary tolerances could destroy the screen and void all warranty claims (see Fig. -
