     The BAUER separator may be used and operated only by persons who are familiar with the system 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 9: 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 includes the fact that all removable protective features, EMERGENCY STOP buttons and covers must be present and functional. Operating Manual for BAUER Separator S300...
  • Page 10 Grips, steps, railings, landings, platforms and ladders must be cleaned of oil, dirt, snow and ice be- fore all activity on the system.  If the BAUER separator is installed on an elevated platform, this must be equipped with a railing. The platform should be sufficiently dimensioned to allow maintenance and service work.
  • Page 11  Always ensure sufficient ventilation when working with slurry!  When working with biologically active materials in connection with the BAUER separator or connected compo- nents, the decomposition of these materials can lead to the production of life-threatening gases, especially in enclosed spaces.

  • Page 12: Function Description

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

  • Page 13: Setup Of The Separator

    It is recommended that the corresponding electrical con- trol for the separator or for the separator and the BAUER submersed motor pump be purchased from BAUER since it will be already adapted to the corresponding drive motors.

  • Page 14: Features, Identification And Information

    4.4 FEATURES, IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION To make it easier for you to familiarize yourself with your new BAUER separator, Fig. 4-2 shows you a longitudinal section of the internal machine design. We assist every customer in optimally selecting the right main separator components for the specific ap- plication before it is purchased, manufactured, assembled and shipped.

    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 Separator S300 has a dead weight of approx. 220 kg. [mm ] 1018 1289 Ø89 Ø75...

  • Page 17: 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.

  • Page 18: Inflow Setup

    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. To keep pressure losses due to pipe friction low, the pipes should have a diameter of at least 75 mm.

  • Page 19: 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 corresponding drive motors.
