3. MACHINE DESCRIPTION
3.1. General description

The SE 05.2 is a centrifugal separator for milk and whey skimming.
The machine is constitued by a cast-iron frame, painted or coated by stainless steel, on which
are installed the following components:
- two shafts with a couple of helical gears with orthogonal axes, a centrifugal
clutch, ball bearings, etc.
- motor
- manual brake
- tachometer
- sight glass to check the bowl motion state
- oil gauge glass to check the oil level
- bowl
- bowl protection cover
- inlet-outlet flow unit
3.2. Operating principles

This machine consent the cream separation from milk to obtain skim milk. The separation
takes place in the bowl of the separator, rotating at a speed of 8.000 r.p.m.
The product flows (fig 3.1) into the bowl through feed pipe (1) and into the distributor (2) it
undergoes acceleration until it reaches the bowl rotating speed. The distributor (2) conveys the
product to the disks stack (3) where the separation between cream and skim milk takes place.
The great number of disks divide the internal space of the bowl into many thin layers which
make more efficient the separation. The cream, that is lighter, flows towards the centre of the
bowl and leaves the disk assembly via its inner edge. The skim milk is heavier and flows
towards the bowl periphery. They rise in the disks stack and reach the two upper chambers of
the bowl. The light phase flows towards the holes (4) that are in the lower chamber and then
exit from the cover of separator (7). A centripetal pump (5) convey the heavy phase under
pressure to the outlet pipe line (6). The pump is surrounded by rotating liquids so, even if it is
not rotating, it transfer the speed of the liquid into static pressure.
The solids impurities eventually present in milk are collected in the periphery of the bowl (8)
where they must be removed manually.
Bowl feeding is carried out through a closed pipe line with heavy phase outlet (skim milk) of
the product under pressure. On inlet-outlet pipe lines are inserted valves and instrumentation
necessary to control and regulate the separator (micrometric adjusting valves, butterfly valves,
sanitary pressure gauge, sample cocks, etc.).

4. LIFTING, TRANSPORT, STORAGE
4.1. Machine delivery

The whole material is accurately checked from the manufacturer before the forwarding.
For transport and lifting operation the bowl is separated from the rest of the machine; this to
preserve the integrity of the rotating parts of the machine.
When receiving the goods check the machine has not been damaged during transport or that
the eventual package has not been tampered with subsequent removal of internal parts. Verify
therefore that data desumed from the accompanying documents correspond to forwarding
data.
When disassembling it is advised to accurately sieve the packing, to avoid that parts, missing
at first sight, are not remained in the packing material.
If damages or missing parts are noticed, immediately inform the carrier and the manufacturer
showing photographic documentation.
4.2. Packing and unpacking

The packing conditions are defined with the customer in relation with the distance and the
chosen mean of transport. The machine can be transported without packing.
In case of packing this is constitued by a wood box.
The machine parts must be assured to the level ground (by brackets or other) to prevent every
horizontal and vertical movement.
The sheets affixed outside the packing contain the following informations:
• Manufacturer
• Address
• Gross weight
• Case dimensions
• Means of lifting
• Lifting points
UNPACKING
Carry the packed machine closest the place selected for installation.
Remove the plastic protection to free the machine.
Conditions of packing elimination (if present):
Wood: not pollutant material, to correctly ricycle.
Plastic: pollutant material to not burn (toxic fumes) neither waste in the environment;
eliminate in accordance with the law in force in the user country.
4.3. Lifting and transport of the packed machine

To lift the packing can be used the following means:
• lift truck;
• bridge crane, crane or hoist with sling.

Rev. 1 of 2/12/96
LIFT TRUCK
Use a lift truck with:
• capacity higher than the weight of the machine+packing (reported outside the
case);
• fork with length higher than 1500 mm.
Insert the forks under the level ground in central position, where signed by the suitable
triangles on the case (fig. 4.1), and keep them at the maximum distance one from the other.
SLING
Must be used ropes or bands in good conditions (neither damaged nor deteriorated) having
guaranteed capacity higher than the weight of the machine+packing (reported outside the
case).
Pass the two ropes outside the “case feet” to avoid the sliding of the ropes towards the centre
of the case (fig. 4.2).
Figure 4.1 Figure 4.2
4.4. Lifting and transport of the machine without packing
ATTENTION
Danger of damaging the machine during transport
The machine transport on the road must be performed without the bowl to avoid damaging of
the vertical shaft and/or ball bearings.
To lift the separator use two hemp ropes and a bridge crane, crane or hoist having guaranteed
capacity higher than the weight of the machine (ab. 160 kg.).

Rev. 1 of 2/12/96
Pass the two ropes under the frame, and adjust their length in order to have the lifting point on
the center-of-gravity vertical line (one rope must be placed inside the frame foot on motor
side, the other one on the opposite side); then lift the whole.
To lift the bowl (fig. 4.3) a particular procedure must be followed:
- open the two ends of the spanner wide apart (part 1);
- insert the middle part of the spanner under the tooth placed at the end of the conical part of
the bowl hood (part 2)
- apply on the spanner the lifting ropes having guaranteed capacity higher than the weight of
the bowl (ab. 32 kg.)
- lift the whole by hands, with a bridge crane, crane or hoist.
Figure 4.3
ATTENTION
Danger of machine turnover
Danger of impact and squashing for people
During lifting and transport must be used great caution to avoid injury to people and things.
This operation must be performed by expert personnel.
Verify that nobody is exposed to a risk in danger zone.
WHEN LIFTING ALL THE AREA SURROUNDING THE MACHINE MUST BE
CONSIDERED DANGER ZONE.
Until the groups (bowl, separator) are not completely lifted it’s better to verify the correct
balancing of them. The lifting must be performed with continuity (without impulses).
Keep the load lower than possible during movements, both for a better load stability, and for a
higher visibility.
The manufacturer do not answer about breakages due to the transport of the machine after the
delivery.
All the elements that are potentially moveable or not resistent to his weight must be securely
fixed to the machine to prevent dangerous disjunctions or unbalancings.
For the machine not packed is prescribed a covered transport.

Rev. 1 of 2/12/96
4.5. Warehouse storage

The machine storage, with or without packing, must be done in a place which has the
humidity and temperature conditions reported in § 5.1.
If the machine remain unused for a long time (more than 3 months), after it has already
worked al least once, perform the following operations:
- accurately clean the separator;
- dry with clothes and greased all the bowl parts and the unpainted parts of the machine, to
avoid corrosions;
- keep the bowl in a dry place;
- to avoid the gaskets become brittle, preserve them in a cool, dry, dark and dust-sheltered
place;
- discharge lubricant oil and accurately clean the gear chamber;
- disconnect the inlet-outlet pipes of the product;
When starting the machine follow the instructions reported in § 7.

Rev. 1 of 2/12/96
5. INSTALLATION/PREPARATION TO START
5.1. Environment
The machine work inside a covered factory, with steady temperature, limitedly esposed to
dust and humidity.
Except for different specification in order established, the machine has been designed and
tested to regularly work in the enviromental conditions reported below.
If the conditions are very unsteady, the means and characteristics of air-conditioning will have
to be fixed.
ALTITUDE
The altitude of the place where the machine will be installed have not to be higher than 1000
m from sea level.
TEMPERATURE

ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS
The electric equipment can correctly work in atmospheric conditions with relative humidity
not higher than 50% and temperature of 40°C, and at 90% with temperature not higher than
20°C (without condensate).
LIGHTING
The factory lighting system is considered very important for the safety of people and of work
quality. It is for the customer to know the standards regarding accident prevention and work
health in force in his country. These standards define the responsabilities of the work place
manager, who must guarantee a good efficiency of plants and consequently of machines.
In Italy this argument is regulated by a ministerial decree which clearly fix the average level
of prescribed lighting.
The lighting is measured in lux (1lux = 1lumen/mq).
Minimum necessary lighting: it has to guarantee the correct perception of symbols and marks
(from 300 to 500 lux).
Maximum lighting: it has to avoid the operator dazzling.
ATMOSPHERE WITH EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE RISK

The standard machine SE 05.2 is not arranged to work in environments with atmosphere with
explosion and/or fire risk.

OIL LEVEL
The separator is delivered without lubricating oil. Before the first starting it is necessary to
fill the gear housing with the lubricant of separator equipment. After the filling, the oil must
be at a level just over the mark on the sight glass (fig. 5.3). During operation, the oil level has
never to fall below the mark.
Check the oil level every day before the starting up and check presence of water from time to
time loosening oil drain plug and drawing a sample. If this is “white coffee coloured”

ATTENTION
Electrocution danger
The electrical connection must be performed by the electrician (that is informed about the
risks connected to the intervention and knows as avoid them).
The user have to predispose a suitable isolating switch of the electric line upstream the
machine, in addition to effective protection advices against overcurrents/indirect contacts.
When connecting,:
• Verify that the supply mains is provided with suitable earth connecting system and
correspond to the voltage and frequency indicated in the wiring diagram supplied with the
machine;
• Perform the connection of separator to electric mains with great caution, according to the
connection diagram on the next page (fig. 5.4), without voltage in the mains and respecting
the safety prescriptions and local regulations. It’s absolutely forbidden the mains
connection without grounding.
• It is advisable to install the control panel near the machine, to assure a fast intervention in
case of danger.
• The electrical motor of the separator is designed for direct starting.
• Always use waterproof conduits on motor terminal board inlet.
• Before assembling the bowl, check direction of rotation by a ”short” motor starting. The
correct direction of rotation is indicated by the arrow on separator frame, corresponding to
the clockwise rotation of vertical shaft (see from above).
• The electrical power supply of the separator motor must be designed relating to starting
current (approximately 1,5 ÷ 2 times the nominal current of the motor).
ATTENTION
Generic danger
In case power and control panel has not been supplied with separator, the electrical
connection has to be made in conformity with the instructions reported on enclosed wiring
diagram and respecting the safety prescriptions and local regulations.
5.6.2. Separator hydraulic feeding

Inlets and outlets are indicated in Tab. 03/A.
To obtain a regular and efficient working of separator:
• feed the separator with constant flow of product;

• pre-filter the product to process, to prevent the entry of extraneous solids of large
size (curdled residues).

Rev. 1 of 2/12/96
It is advisible to connect the separator to the plant by pipes which length is not more than 1 m.
to facilitate the disassembly of the connections when dismantling the bowl. Therefore, avoid
connections (to another machine, to the wall, ecc.) that rigidly constrain the inlet-outlet unit of
the machine; this could increase vibrations level.

2) Insert the flow unit body (5) on the feeding pipe (1) adapting it on pump (5) and on the
correspondent seat on the cover.
3) Screw hardly the two screws (7) into the holes of the cover.
4) Insert washer (8) and screw nut (9) - left-handed thread - using the spanners (09.050.0).
Insert spanner (09.070.0) into the split of the feeding pipe to avoid pipe rotation when
fastening the nut.
5) Apply the gaskets (13, 14) on the shutter (15).
6) Insert the shutter (15) in the micrometric valve body (12).
7) Mount on the flow unit body (5) the assembled valve.
Always check:
- spacers thickness and number is the prescribed one (see § 3.3 and 6.3).
- locking nut of feeding pipe (left hand thread), fixing screws of cover to frame (Tab 0.8)
and of inlet-outlet flow unit to cover are hardly screwed.
6.3. Adjustment of pumps position

The correct position of pumps is shown by fig. 6.10; the pump is in the middle of the
corresponding chambers of the bowl. This position is obtained by inserting a few spacers (4) -
fig. 6.12 between the centripetal pump and the inlet-outlet flow unit body (5). The number
and thickness of spacers may vary only after the replacement of some parts of the vertical
shaft unit (Tab. 06) and/or of the bowl (Tab. 04) and/or of the inlet-outlet flow unit (Tab. 05).
In this case it is advisable to vary corresponding number and thickness of spacers indicated on
technical card § 3.3. The total thickness of spacers is determined by the following relation:
Total thickness of spacers = 5,5 - A
To find "A" push down the feeding pipe +

pump to the bottom of the corresponding
bowl chamber. The distance (measured in
mm) between the cover upper edge and the
pump give the value of "A" (fig. 6.13).
Extract all existing spacers before doing
this measure.

Rev. 1 of 2/12/96
7.6. Preliminary checks

• The bowl must be correctly assembled: the locking rings must be screwed right down (left-
hand threaded) and the marks “O” of the corrisponding parts must be aligned.
• All the fixed protections (cover, ports, ecc.) must be in right position.
• Verify that inlet-outlet flow unit and cover are well fixed.
• Verify that the feeding pipe nut is well screwed (left-hand threaded), in order to obtain a
good fixing of the centripetal pump.
• Check oil level (oil must be slightly above the mark on the sight glass).
• Brake must be released.
• Check that valves at the outlet of the product are closed.
• If separator doesn’t work for a long time (more than 3 months), it is recommended to:
- oily separator again following the instruction indicated at § 5.5.1;
- start the machine without bowl for about 5 min.
ATTENTION
Generic danger
Before start always verify the efficiency of the security devices and of the stop command.
7.7. Starting up instructions
ATTENTION
Generic danger
The machine OPERATOR MUST BE PRESENT at the starting-up phase.
• Refering to the recommended wiring diagram (fig. 5.4), at start, push start motor button
(P1) so:
- the green lamp light on;
- contactors KM1 and KM2 are engaged and motor protection is by-passed;
- timer T1 begin counting.
When the setting time is elapsed:
- contactor KM2 is switched off;
- thermal protection TM1 is activated.
• Check the regular start of separator and wait for reaching nominal speed (about 2 minutes).
The tachometer indicates the rotation speed of the horizontal shaft connected to the motor
(nominal speed is about 1.450 r.p.m.).
• Check vibration and noise of separator. If vibration and/or noise are anomalous, stop the
separator for a carefully check.
• Feed separator with product. If necessary regulate the flowrate using micrometric valves of
inlet-outlet unit.
ATTENTION
Generic danger
During starting-up the machine has not to rotate with empty bowl for a period up than 15 min.

Rev. 1 del 2/12/96
8. MACHINE USE
8.1. Personnel tasks
Unmanned automatic machine, starting phase only.
Operator tasks:
• Normal operation control.
• Good operation testing (fluid level, capacity and temperature value, noisy, evident
vibrations).
• Carry out cleaning cycle.
• Routine interventions on electric panel.
• Simple disassemblies.
• Lubricant oil change or topping up.
Mechanical technician tasks:
• Corrosion and wears testing.
• Repairs.
• Preventive maintenance with eventual cleaning and/or replacement of some parts.
Electrician tasks:
• Interventions on electric system.
8.2. Set-up and adjustments

Regulate the separator capacity within the nominal value shown on § 3.3. To achieve this, it is
necessary to insert a regulatory valve or a neck washer on the separator feeding line.
To guarantee the machine good operation, control and adjustment operations must be
performed before starting phase (see § 7.6).
To obtain a regular and efficient working of separator, feed the separator with constant flow
of product.
It’s important to avoid air mixing with liquid, so it’s necessary to immerse the centripetal
pump into the rotating liquid and to have a counterpressure in outlet pipes. This is obtained by
the regulating valve (A in figure 8.1) in the outlet of the separator.
As general behaviour remember that, by acting on outlet valves, it’s possible to adjust the
cream flow rate, while the skim milk flow rate cannot be varied.
One of the most important parametres in milk separation is the fat content of the cream,
directly related to the cream flow rate. A small cream flow rate (obtained by opening the
shutter on product outlet) gives a cream of higher density, with more fat, while a large cream
flow rate (obtained by closing the shutter on product outlet) gives a thinner cream with lower
fat content.
8.2.1. Warnings
- Always act slowly on valves and wait after each setting until the separation stabilizes
before doing another change.
- When the desired regulation has been achieved, mark the position of each shutter.

Rev. 1 of 2/12/96
Separator equipped with constant pressure valve

• Rotate the pressure regulator of the bowl overflow RPT (fig. 7.1) until on MNT (fig. 7.1)
could be read a pressure of about 4 bar.
• The regulation of counter-pressure at skim outlet could be performed acting both on shutter
and on regulator RPL. For the best regulation:
- act on regulator RPL in such a way that the pressure fall to zero;
- rotate shutter until a pressure of 2,5 bar could be read;
- perform subsequent adjustings acting only on regulator RPL.
• For a correct understanding of the regulation procedure reported below, at the words
“shutter” should be substitued “regulator RPL”.
8.2.2. Skimming milk or whey

1) Partially close the shutter until cream exit from the outlet on the cover of separator
2) If some foam is present in cream, it’s necessary to close shutter
Cream too liquid

- Open a little bit the shutter.
Cream too thick

- Increase skim milk pressure by closing shutter.
8.3. Ordinary maintenance
To guarantee the machine functionality and long-life, the operator must perform cleaning and
ordinary maintenance.
