Westfalia Separator
Industry
Application
For all applications where a
high degree of dryness of the
solids is required, e.g. in starch
and waste water plants,
beverage and foodstuff
industries, etc.

The patented 2-gear drive permits automatic torque measurement and differential speed control. The main motor
drives the bowl and simultaneously the housing of the
secondary gear via the housing of the primary gear. The
speed-controlled secondary motor drives the input shaft of
the secondary gear.
Due to the extremely sensitive analogue control a relatively
small and hence cost-saving differential speed control range
is sufficient for normal applications. The position of this control range can be selected by changing the belt drive transmission between the main motor and the housing of the
secondary gear.
Due to the driving effect of the secondary motor which takes
over part of the conveyor screw drive power, load is taken
off the main drive motor.
The 2-gear drive is recommended if:
the discharged solids from the decanter are to have the
lowest possible residual moisture
the decanter is to be run at the smallest possible differential speeds with maximum solids discharge volumes
the discharged solids are to have a uniform DS content
despite fluctuating production conditions
the capacity is to be increased as compared to the
decanters with standard drive.
Advantages
Torque-dependent differential speed control
The basic differential speed can be altered by exchanging
the belt pulleys.
Differential speed control range
Analogue torque indicator
Reliable overload protection (electrical, without shear
pin); the machine can be re-started immediately.
Improved officiency due to internal feedback
Available for installation in explosive surroundings
Low space requirement
Maintenance-free and environment-friendly
