A fee schedule for technical support and training is available upon request. A copy of the CSI service policy and warranty is included in this manual. Should there be any questions, perhaps the enclosed policies will be of assistance.
FEATURES The CSI Model WSM-03 Continuous Centrifuge is a screen type centrifuge in which the flow of the feed material through the centrifuge is automatically controlled to obtain liquid-solid separation. Figure 1 shows the flow of material through the CSI Model WSM-03 Continuous Centrifuge.
The latter presents an opportunity to compare different operations and pass on operating tips that are usually most helpful. During these visits, the CSI Service Man is able to ascertain first hand if you are obtaining the best performance possible, and if not, make corrective recommendations.
365 calendar days or two thousand (2,000) operating hours, whichever occurs first. The period of warranty of CSI Centrifuges shall begin on the date of shipment of equipment or parts to Purchaser and shall continue for the one year period (as defined above), providing CSI operating, maintenance and inspection recommendations are followed, and authorized oil filters and lubricants are utilized and replaced at the recommended intervals.

Purchaser intends to install the Centrifuges and disclaims any warranties with respect to installation of the CSI Centrifuges. Purchaser shall use its best efforts to ensure that all persons or entities renting or leasing CSI Centrifuges are informed of the foregoing exclusive warranty and...
INSTALLATION The CSI Centrifuge is shipped as a completely assembled unit. The machine should be installed exactly as received. Location of the centrifuge with respect to its auxiliary servicing equipment should be carefully studied. Although the centrifuge requires very little space, adequate working space should be provided around the machine.

CSI has available upon request and as an option, field service engineers on hand to direct and assist with new machine start-ups. This gives the customer an opportunity to get direct operating instructions from experienced personnel and to get acquainted with the men who can be made available for inspection calls.
In order for the operator to obtain a full understanding of the centrifuge function, a study should be made of Figure I, where a general flow description is given. Before any attempt is made to start the CSI Centrifuge for the first time, a quick check should be made of the following points: 1.) Free Rotation - The motor sheave should be free when turned by hand.

Note that the above list is general. However, each of these points should be checked when unsatisfactory results are being encountered. Should these checks fail to reveal possible troubles, contact any CSI representative listed in the front of this manual for further assistance.
The above parts are all contacted by the processed material and make up the normal wear parts. These parts will need the most frequent attention. SCREENS CSI stocks different screen openings. The best screen for an application can best be determined by field test because of the many variations of material to be processed.

A severely worn rotor will cause unnecessary wear and breakage to other parts of the machine; hence, we at CSI feel it a necessity and our responsibility to supply our customers with new rotors at a minimum of delay, and of course, expense.

CSI has shipped the machines with Shell Omala E.P. ISO Grade 68 or Shell Omala HD synthetic E.P. ISO Grade 220. All machines with a serial number higher than 09-207 have been shipped with Omala HD synthetic E.P.
TROUBLE SHOOTING (Mechanical Problems) VIBRATION Normally vibration is caused by worn rotating parts, but not always. Look for the following symptoms: 1. Frequency - If same as RPM of rotating parts, it is likely worn wear parts. Remove one part at a time and run machine to see if that part was unbalanced.
RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS STOCK - MODEL WSM-03 Parts subjected to the material being processed experience abrasive wear in all continuous equipment. Therefore, it is wise for the operator to stock normal maintenance parts. Depending on one’s dependency on the centrifuge, it may be desirable to stock additional parts should an emergency take place.
Should there be some field revision on a machine that makes a machine different from any parts drawing, it will become necessary for the CSI service men to update the customer’s parts list and notify CSI engineering office of the modification. In instances such as this, the customer should be extra careful when re-ordering and possibly note on their purchase order that there has been a revision.
