  • Page 12: Function Description

    3 FUNCTION DESCRIPTION The FAN press screw separator serves for separating pumpable slurry (solid-liquid mixtures with rela- tively low solid matter content and no foreign bodies such as metal parts, stones, wood or rags) into sol- id and liquid (thin slurry) fractions. As a compact device, it combines the functions of two separators, specifically the functions of a screen and a press.

    4.7 SETUP AND ASSEMBLY The basic dimensions of the FAN Press screw separator for determining the dimensions of the setup location are shown in Fig. 4-3. The Separator PSS 1.1-300 has a dead weight of approx. 220 kg. [mm ] 1018 1289 Ø89...
  • Page 17: Complete System

    4.8 COMPLETE SYSTEM The complete system of the press / screw separator also includes the material supply and discharge handling. The incoming material can be delivered by pump or from an elevated tank by means of gravity. Because the pump delivery rate cannot be precisely determined, an overflow is absolutely required in order to protect the separator from an overload.
  • Page 18: Inflow Setup

    A tube of DN90 is required for this. Fig. 4-8 Drainage line If no FAN/BAUER pump is installed, the pump for supplying the separator should have a NOTE pump rate of at least 15 m³/h since the capacity of the separator otherwise cannot be fully utilized.
  • Page 19: Electrical Connection

    5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION The electric motor is equipped with a terminal strip. Like all electrical connections, the external motor control must be connected properly by a qualified electrician. DANGER Work on electrical and electronic components of the system may only be per- formed by a trained electrician or otherwise appropriately trained personnel under the guidance and supervision of a trained electrician in accordance with the appli- cable electrical and electronic regulations.
  • Page 20: Setup And Operation Of The Motor

    5.1 SETUP AND OPERATION OF THE MOTOR The motors in the standard design are suitable for operation up to a maximum ambient temperature of +40 °C (104 °F) as well as an elevation of up to 1000 m above sea level. Conditions of high humidity (e.g.
  • Page 21: Preparation For Initial Startup

    6 PREPARATION FOR INITIAL STARTUP Before beginning the startup process, check the following measures: 1. The separator must be firmly anchored to the ground. 2. Make sure that the mouth piece and the functioning of the separator can be seen clearly from the switch cabinet [it must be possible to watch the solid cake and its discharge speed].
  • Page 22: Solid Cake Formation

    NOTE The reaction time before each setting change takes several minutes, meaning that the effect of any change can only be determined after this time. For this reason, always allow enough time after making a change and only make changes in small steps! NOTE Before the initial startup and after prolonged downtime, the separator should be flooded before switching it on by starting the pump briefly in order to prevent possible damage...
  • Page 23: Configuration To Stabilize The Solid Cake

    Depending on the dry matter content (DM content) of the input medium, the solid cake will either already have the correct consistency with the initial setting of the weights or it will be either too soft or too firm. After formation of a cake and roughly 20 cm of DM throughput, the base settings should be corrected “...
  • Page 24: Additional Instructions For Flawless Operation

    ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLAWLESS OPERATION Make certain that the overflow does not produce a siphon effect. This would produce unfavorable flows with too little solid matter entering the separator, lowering the throughput while also interfering with the self-cleaning of the screen, which is activated by the solid mat- ter.
  • Page 25: Test For Separation Capability

    9 TEST FOR SEPARATION CAPABILITY In order to test the separation capability of the medium supplied to the separator, you can perform a simple suitability test. Take some of the medium intended for separation into your hand and try to press it out.
  • Page 26: Important Aspects To Be Considered During Operation

    11 IMPORTANT ASPECTS TO BE CONSIDERED DURING OPERATION  “ ” Check the output of the pump to ensure that the overflow bypass is only half full.  Inspect the pump to ensure that the operating pressure on the seal of the auger drive does not exceed 2 m water column.

    13.1.2 Sealing rotary shaft seal bushing wear plate The sealing consists of a rotary shaft seal running on the bushing which is glued on the auger hub. In addi- tion a slide ring pretensioned by O-rings is mounted on the auger hub. This slide ring serves as additional protection for the rotary shaft seal.
  • Page 29: Inspection Of The Screen And The Guide Rails

    13.2 INSPECTION OF THE SCREEN AND THE GUIDE RAILS The screen and the guide rails must generally be inspected every 1 to 3 months depending on the sepa- ration medium. For this inspection, the screen must be removed, cleaned with a high-pressure cleaner and then checked for damage and traces of wear.
  • Page 30 The plastic profile rails serve to dampen the impact shocks of the separator on the screen guide rails and reduce friction. “ ” “ ” The screen floats breathes ] in the guide rails, depending on how hard the solid cake is. The slight up “...
  • Page 31: Inspecting And Reinstalling The Screen

    13.3 INSPECTING AND REINSTALLING THE SCREEN The wearing of the screen occurs primarily in the area where the auger blades end in the screen, i.e. at the transition to the pressing area of the separator. If a sharp-edged transition can be seen in this area (Fig.
  • Page 32: Inspecting And Reinstalling The Auger

    13.4 INSPECTING AND REINSTALLING THE AUGER The auger is made of stainless steel. In the area of the screen, the auger blades have been plated with a special material according to a special process, see Fig. 13-12. Inspect the auger for any damage and clean it.
  • Page 33: Evaluation Criteria For The Auger And Screen With Regard To Wear And Recoating

    13.5 EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR THE AUGER AND SCREEN WITH REGARD TO WEAR AND RECOATING All moving parts on the separator are subject to some amount of wear. Some of the parts that are direct- ly subject to wear and must therefore be inspected regularly have already been described. Good regular inspections and maintenance of the wearing parts will significantly lengthen the service life of the parts.
  • Page 34: Summary Of Maintenance And Inspection Intervals

    For example, Fig. 13-16, right and middle images, shows plating that has been worn down on the outer edges of the auger, but recoating is still possible because the plating on the face side is still retained up to 20%, meaning that the actual auger blade has not yet been damaged. Excluding the plating, the au- ger blades have a thickness in this area of 10 mm, meaning that the remaining plating can be deter- mined very precisely with a depth caliper.

    14 PROBLEMS - TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting should only be performed by appropriately qualified personnel. WARNING “ ” It is very important for you to familiarize yourself with the normal operating condition of the separator “ ” during your application. Normal includes the discharge speed in direct connection with the desired DM content of the solid cake.
