2 Introduction
Decanter (horizontal) centrifuges use high centrifugal forces produced in the rotating bowl to separate solids out of a liquid solid
mixture (slurry).

2 3

Figure 1: Centrifuge Product Flow

The slurry is pumped into the solids end of the centrifuge through a feed tube located axially inside the centrifuge (see Figure 1
Arrow 1). A stainless steel rotating bowl centrifuges the slurry. This involves spinning the slurry at sufficient speed to force the
solids against the inside surface of the bowl, which leaves a layer of solid free liquid on top of the solids. A stainless steel screw
conveyor, which rotates slower than the bowl, then gathers and conveys these solids to the small end discharge area, referred to
as the solids end (see Figure 1 Arrow 2). The liquid flows out the opposite end of the machine (liquids end) through the dam plates

(see Figure 1 Arrow 3). For a more comprehensive description refer to section 5 - Operation of this manual.

3 Safety
This G-Tech -HilTech 1656 decanter centrifuge is a high speed rotating machine and caution should be exercised by all operating
personnel.

Periodic safety meetings to familiarize new operating personnel with the machines characteristics are recommended. This manual
is intended for use by qualified operators familiar with processing equipment.

Maintenance personnel should be experienced mechanics.

Electricians should be licensed, qualified personnel familiar with electrical safety procedure.

3.1 General
This manual must be read and understood before installing, operating or performing work on the centrifuge.

When operating the centrifuge follow instructions as laid out in this manual, or instructed by G-Tech -HilTech.

Do not operate the centrifuge without belt guards. If guards are not supplied with the machine it is the operator’s responsibility to fit
proper guarding that meets applicable safety codes.

Do not operate the centrifuge unless it is properly secured on its mounting pad or platform.

Do not operate the centrifuge, unless the cover is closed and the cover clamps are tightened securely.

Damaged parts must be replaced immediately with G-Tech -HilTech approved replacement parts.

Do not store rags, aprons, hand tools, or any other foreign objects inside the bowl casing of a centrifuge that is not in use.

Do not operate the centrifuge if abnormal vibration occurs or abnormal noise is observed.

Do not operate a centrifuge that contains non G-Tech -HilTech approved parts.
Always use cover safety locking pins when the cover of the centrifuge is open, to prevent accidental cover closures.

 P a g e | 10

3.2 Lifting
Many parts of the centrifuge are heavy and a crane or hoist with an adequate weight limit should be used when lifting parts.

Some parts may be sharp, especially worn parts. Take care when lifting to protect body parts (hands, arms, feet, etc) and lifting
equipment (slings, etc) from sharp edges.

Always lower parts gently, onto clean flat surfaces to prevent damage.

3.3 Rotating Equipment

Never interchange bowl parts between centrifuge units. Each bowl is balanced as a complete unit at the factory.

Do not ever apply an open flame to any rotating assembly components.

Do not make machining, welding, or other field repairs to any bowl parts. These are balanced parts, contact G-Tech -HilTech if
assistance is required.
If bowl parts are replaced the bowl must be rebalanced.

Never exceed maximum speed stated in section 0 - 1 Machine Specification of this manual.

3.4 Explosion Proof Equipment

Do not operate equipment driven by an explosion-proof motor and control until all seal fittings are properly sealed with
recommended fibre or compound and are tagged.

Never use abrasive material or a file to remove corrosion from explosion-proof equipment.

Cover screws and bolts used to hold explosion-proof joints together must always be tight and only of the type and material
recommended by the manufacturer.

3.5 Repairs and Maintenance

Stop the centrifuge and isolate the power supply before performing any repairs or maintenance.

Do not attempt to clean bowl parts without first checking to verify that solutions are non-corrosive to the bowl material.

The carbide tiles fitted to the conveyor are made up of a sintered tungsten carbide tile soldered to a stainless steel backing plate.
The copper/silver solder used will not withstand attacks from highly corrosive chemicals such as sulphuric and nitric acids. Use of
these or other chemical could result in the tiles falling off the conveyor. Always check any chemicals used for compatibility with
copper/silver solder before use.

Idle machines must have their bowls turned at least once a week to prevent bearing damage due to external vibration sources.

Do not overfill the gearbox with oil. Follow the instructions in section 6.4 - Gearbox Lubrication.

Do not use improvised tools when assembling or disassembling components on the centrifuge.

Do not shut down the centrifuge for an extended period without disconnecting the electricity to the motor.

Do not leave the bowl idle for an extended time with corrosive liquid remaining inside.

3.6 Wear to Parts

The centrifuge is subjected to high forces during operation and as such must be periodically checked for wear.
If any of the following are found on the centrifuge do not operate the machine, contact G-Tech -HilTech for advice immediately:

1. Holes are wearing through rotating and/or moving parts

2. Grooves greater than 1.5mm (1/16in) deep are worn in rotating and/or moving parts.
3. Evidence of cracks is present, especially in rotating and/or moving parts.
4. Chemical pitting of 1.5mm (1/16in) depth or greater on rotating and/or moving parts.
5. Component surfaces are covered with a light corrosion or etching.

Monitor any chemical pitting closely. This is often due to insufficient cleaning of the cake from the centrifuge.

4.2 Transport EYE BOLTS

Figure 2: Lifting Points

When lifting the complete centrifuge use the four (4) eye bolts attached to the frame (see Figure 2).
Never lift complete skid mount unit using these eye bolts.

The crane or hoist must have a minimum safe working load of 2.5 tonne (5,500 lbs).

When lowering the centrifuge, ensure it touches down gently.

4.3 Foundations
The foundations of the centrifuge must be level and isolated from vibration of other machines.
The centrifuge may be placed on a steel platform thereby elevating the machine to allow room for routing the discharged
solids and liquids lines out of the bottom of the hopper. The steel platform must be designed to safely carry the static and
dynamic loadings of the complete centrifuge assembly in accordance with local engineering standards.

If more than one centrifuge is installed, each machine should have its own separate steel frame.

 P a g e | 14

4.4 Pipe Work

Pipe work to the centrifuge should be arranged in short, easily assembled parts to assist maintenance.

All piping connections to the centrifuge must have a flexible section in order to absorb any vibrations which may occur.
Never use hard pipe to the centrifuge.

Do not mount flexible pipe in a bent or strained position.

The solids and liquids discharge connections should have a flexible boot between the outlet connection and the line being
fed.

Do not reduce the line size of the solids and liquids discharge chutes, this may cause clogging.

All receiving vessels must be adequately vented.

During installation, all inlets and outlets to the centrifuge should be covered to protect from dirt, foreign objects, etc.

The inlet pipe work must be self supporting so that there is no loading on the feed tube.

The liquids discharge pipe should have a minimum fall of 1 in 50 (1.2°).

4.5 Flushing and Cleaning

Water (hot water is recommended) for filling and flushing the centrifuge must be connected to the inlet line with a shut off valve
installed. If the centrifuge is equipped with a clean in place header (CIP), a separate piping system must be installed for the CIP
liquid.

4.6 Electrical and Wiring

Three (3) safety switches are used on the centrifuge and are located as follows:

1. Vibration switch, mounted on the frame under the gearbox.

2. Cover switch, mounted on the solids end of the hopper on the opening side.
3. GS-coupling switch, mounted on the gearbox end of the frame.

These must be wired so that when tripped the main drive motor, feed pump and back drive motor (if fitted) are stopped
immediately.

5.2 Liquid Radius and Dry Beach

Figure 4: Liquids Radius and Dry Beach

The liquid radius (shown as "R" in Figure 4) is the distance from the centre of rotation to the surface of the pond.

The pond depth is the difference between the liquids radius and the bowl inside radius.

The dry beach (shown as "DB" in Figure 4) begins where the surface of the pond intersects the inside wall of the bowl extension.

A larger liquid radius (“R”) (shallower pond depth) gives a longer dry beach (“DB”).

The solids are scrolled up the dry beach before exiting the bowl extension, through the solids discharge ports.

The radius can be adjusted to suit process conditions by means of the dam plates located in the hub liquids end. The relationship
between liquid radius (“R”) and the dam plate settings are shown in
Table 1 on the following page.

In general, the greater the pond depth, the clearer the light phase will be. The torque required by the gearbox to scroll the solids
along will be lessened because the solids will contain slightly more moisture as they are scrolled up the dry beach.

Conversely, a shallower pond depth will produce dryer solids (heavy phase). More residence time along a longer dry beach allows
the centrifugal force to extract more moisture out of the solids as they are scrolled along the dry beach. The light phase will not be
as clear as with the deeper pond setup.

 P a g e | 18

Figure 5: Dam Plates Showing Liquid Radius

The dam plates have an ecentric hole through which the light phase is discharged. By rotating the dam plates, the liquid radius in
the centrifuge can be altered. This also changes the dry beach length. All four (4) dam plates must be set to the same setting for
the centrifuge to operate correctly.

5.3 GS-Coupling

Figure 7: GS-Coupling Engaged

The GS-coupling is a device, located on the end of the Gearbox, which causes the drive to the conveyor to become mechanically
disengaged in the event of over torque. The GS-coupling is mounted on the first stage pinion of the planetary gearbox. The
coupling is a spring loaded ball detent device which trips when an overload torque is applied.

Figure 8: GS-Coupling Disengaged

Email: [email protected] Website: www.gtech-hiltech.com

An ISO 9001:2008 registered Company
 P a g e | 21

When overloaded, the three balls of the GS-coupling clutch are forced out of the depressions in the driver and slide down the
slopes. This causes the GS-coupling clutch and driver to rotate 60 degrees in relation to each other. When this disengagement
occurs the GS-coupling clutch moves 6mm (¼ inch) toward the driver. This movement trips a limit switch which shuts down the
power to the main drive motor and the feed pump. This movement also releases the dogs in the holder mounted to the v-belt pulley
from the dogs in the GS-coupling clutch, which mechanically disengages the back drive motor if fitted.

5.3.1 Resetting the GS-Coupling

12. Ensure the machines power source is safely isolated, the centrifuge has stopped rotating and relevant company
safety procedures are followed.
13. Eliminate the cause of the overload (Clean the Bowl see section 0 - 5.4.1 Preparing to Start the Centrifuge).
14. Remove gearbox guard.
15. Use two (2) steel bars inserted in the holes provided on the clutch and driver to reset the GS coupling (see Figure 9).
Using the bars as handles, turn the holder and GS-coupling clutch into place. Check that the clutch dogs are aligned
and engage properly as you are turning.

Figure 9: Resetting GS-Coupling

16. Remove the two steel bars.

17. Reset the limit switch by rotating switch lever clockwise as shown in Figure 10. To assist with this process, depress
the switch while rotating the lever then release the switch when the lever is in place.
18. Replace gearbox guard.
19. Restart the centrifuge, follow the intrusions in section 5.4 - Start Up.

5.3.2 GS-Coupling Switch Setup

With the GS-coupling switch in the set position (see Figure 10), the plastic dome nut should be approximately 1.5mm (0.06”) in the
horizontal direction from the GS-coupling clutch. The operation of the switch can be checked by tripping the GS-coupling with two
(2) steel bars.
Adjusting the switch:

1. Loosen the four (4) bolts that attach the switch bracket to the
frame, this will allow the vertical position of the GS-coupling
switch assembly to be adjusted.
2. Adjust the vertical height so the centre of the plastic dome
nut sits in line with the edge of the chamfer on the GS-
coupling clutch. Retighten the four (4) bolts.
3. Loosen the three (3) bolts that attach the switch mounting
plate to the switch bracket, this will allow the horizontal
position of the GS-coupling switch assembly to be adjusted.
4. Adjust the horizontal position so the plastic dome nut sits
approximately 1.5mm (0.06”) from the
GS-coupling clutch. Retighten the three (3) bolts.
5. Trip the GS-coupling using two (2) steel bars (refer to section
5.3.1 - Resetting the GS-Coupling), to check that the GS-
switch trips. If the switch fails to trip repeat steps 1-4 of this
procedure.

5.4 Start Up

5.4.1 Preparing to Start the Centrifuge

All sludge and deposits in the bowl must be removed and the bowl cleaned before starting the centrifuge. Material in the bowl can
cause high torque loading on the gearbox and the GS-coupling to trip out.
Cleaning an overloaded bowl:

1. Ensure the bowl has stopped rotating and appropriate isolation procedures are carried out.
2. Reset the GS-coupling if it has tripped out (see 5.3.1 - Resetting the GS-Coupling).
3. Feed water (preferably hot), with a mixture of solvent if necessary, into the feed tube. Rotate the bowl by hand in the
normal operating direction while supplying the water.
4. If supplying hot water through the feed tube does not give adequate results, high pressure water or steam may be
injected thru the solids discharge ports located in the bowl extension (tapered end of the bowl).
5. If a back drive motor is fitted rotate the first stage pinion on the end of the gearbox to screw the sludge out of the
conveyor. If a fixed torque arm is fitted the conveyor will rotate as the bowl is rotated.
6. If material remains in the bowl, alternating the water/steam injection and the conveyor rotation may assist the
cleaning process.
7. If the above procedure is followed but the GS-coupling continues to trip, the sludge is probably caked so hard that the
bowl will have to be dismantled and manually cleaned.

Never use tools when turning the bowl or first stage pinion shaft. The use of tools could create a torque which exceeds the
maximum limit for the gearbox.

If the solid discharge is fed into other equipment downstream of the centrifuge, precautions must be taken to avoid feeding
water to this equipment when cleaning. If the liquid discharge is fed into other equipment after the centrifuge, precautions
must be taken to avoid feeding solids into the equipment when cleaning.

5.4.2 Prestart Checks

Check that:

1. The cover and hopper are free from sludge deposits.

2. ↑The process liquid is being supplied from the correct tank.
3. Discharge valves (if fitted) are open.
4. The bowl is easily rotated by hand with the GS-coupling in the operative position.
5. Check the safety switches work appropriately.
6. With the cover open and the GS-coupling switch in the operating position, check that the motors and feed pump will
not start. Then close the cover and trip the GS-coupling switch, by rotating the lever anticlockwise (see Figure 10).
Now again check that the motors and feed pump will not start.

5.4.3 After Checks

1. Close the cover and fasten it securely with the cover clamps.
2. Set the GS-coupling switch to the set position (see Figure 10).
3. Fasten the gearbox covers, belt drive covers and any other covers fitted to the centrifuge securely.

5.4.4 Starting
1. Before starting the centrifuge the operator must have read and understood this complete manual and completed all
necessary training.
2. Set the main power switch on the panel to "on".
3. Release "emergency stop" (in most cases: pull out the "emergency stop" knob).
4. Start the main drive motor.
5. After approximately ten (10) seconds start the back drive motor (if fitted).
6. After waiting three (3) minutes for the bowl to come up to full speed. Run the bowl on water for a short time.
7. Once you are satisfied that all piping connections are tight and leak free. Shut off the water supply valve.
8. Open the feed valve.
9. Start the belt conveying equipment and pump used to transport the discharged solids and liquids.
10. Start the feed pump.
11. If little or no solids are conveyed to the solids outlet, shut off the feed and let the bowl run without feed for a few
minutes. Open the feed once again and a "wall cake" should form in the bowl which will assist the solids conveyance.

Note that the power consumption will be higher during acceleration than in normal operation.

5.5 Running the Centrifuge

Check:

1. Pressure, temperature, and throughput are steady.

2. The gearbox is not leaking oil.
3. There is no increase in vibration.

5.5.1 Vibration and Noise

This centrifuge is equipped with a vibration shutdown switch to protect it by shutting down the feed pump and motors in the event
of a serious imbalance condition.
The conveyor and bowl assembly are accurately balanced for their operating speeds, during assembly. The centrifuge may exhibit
momentary increases in sound and vibration levels during start up. This is due to the centrifuge accelerating through natural
frequencies. This characteristic is normal, however the sound and vibration level will be greatly increased if excessive wear or
imbalance is present.
If large vibrations are present within the recommended operating speed range of the centrifuge, contact G-Tech -HilTech for further
advice.

 P a g e | 27

5.6 Shutdown
1. Before shutting down the centrifuge, the bowl should be flushed with water.
2. Shut off the feed pump and close the product suction valve. Do not adjust the pump speed control unless the pump is
running.
3. After all solids have cleared the centrifuge, open the water line valve to the pump suction and start the pump. This will
flush the bowl, conveyor and pump.
4. Keep flushing until clear water is discharged.
5. Stop the pump.
6. Shut off the water supply valve.
7. Shut off the main drive motor.
8. When the main drive motor is shut off, shut off the back drive motor after approximately 10 minutes (if a back drive
motor is fitted).
9. Lubricate the main and conveyor bearings (see section 6 - Maintenance for details).
If the machine is likely to be subjected to freezing temperatures, ensure any hoses that may have liquid in them are
drained.

DESCRIPTION & OPERATING CONDITIONS

1. DESCRIPTION
The TRANSFLUID coupling (K series) is a constant fill type, The slip is essential for the correct operation of the coupling -
comprising of three main elements: there could not be torque transmission without slip! The formula
1 - driving impeller (pump) mounted on the input shaft. for slip, from which the power loss can be deduced is as follows:
2 - driven impeller (turbine) mounted on the output shaft.
3 - cover, flanged to the outer impeller, with an oil-tight seal. input speed – output speed
The first two elements can work both as pump or turbine. slip % = x 100
input speed
2. OPERATING CONDITIONS
The TRANSFLUID coupling is a hydrodynamic transmission. The In normal conditions (standard duty), slip can vary from 1,5%
impellers perform like a centrifugal pump and a hydraulic turbine. (large power applications) to 6% (small power applications).
With an input drive to the pump (e.g. electric motor or Diesel TRANSFLUID couplings follow the laws of all centrifugal
engine) kinetic energy is transferred to the oil in the coupling. The machines:
oil is forced, by centrifugal force, across the blades of the pump
towards the outside of the coupling. 1 - transmitted torque is proportional to the square of input
The turbine absorbs kinetic energy and generates a torque speed;
always equal to input torque, thus causing rotation of the output 2 - transmitted power is proportional to the third power of input
shaft. Since there are no mechanical connections, the wear is speed;
practically zero. 3 - transmitted power is proportional to the fifth power of circuit
The efficiency is influenced only by the speed difference (slip) outside diameter.

1/3 during starting. Unfortunately, during operation of the motor

under the delta configuration, the available torque is also
reduced by 1/3; and for machines with high inertias to
accelerate, over-dimensioning of the motor is still required.
Finally, this system does not eliminate current peaks originating
from the insertion or the commutation of the device.

Any drive system using a Transfluid fluid coupling has the without fluid coupling
advantage of the motor starting essentially without load. Figure 2
compares the current demands of an electric motor when the
load is directly attached verses the demand when a fluid
coupling is mounted between the motor and load. The coloured
% motor current

area shows the energy that is lost, as heat, during start-up when
a fluid coupling is not used. A Transfluid fluid coupling reduces
the motor’s current draw during start-up thus reducing peak
current demands. This not only reduces power costs but also with fluid coupling
reduces brown outs in the power grid and extends the life of the
motor. Also at start-up, a fluid coupling allows more torque to
pass to the load for acceleration than in drive systems without a
fluid coupling.

rotor of the motor (colored area). In about 1 second, the rotor of
the motor accelerates passing from point A to point B. The
acceleration of the load, however, is made gradually by the fluid
coupling, utilizing the motor in optimal conditions, along the part
of the curve between point B, 100% and point C, 2-5%. Point C
is the typical point of operation during normal running.

ADVANTAGES

2.2 TRANSFLUID FLUID COUPLINGS WITH A DELAYED FILL 3. SUMMARY OF THE ADVANTAGES GIVEN BY FLUID
CHAMBER COUPLINGS
A low starting torque is achieved, with the standard circuit in a – very smooth start-ups
maximum oil fill condition because fluid couplings limit to less
than 200% of the nominal motor torque. It is possible to limit – reduction of current absorptions during the starting phase: the
further the starting torque down to 160% of the nominal torque, motor starts with very low load
by decreasing oil fill: this, contrarily creates slip and working – protection of the motor and the driven machine from jams and
temperature increase in the fluid coupling. overloads
The most convenient technical solution is to use fluid couplings
with a delayed fill chamber, connected to the main circuit by – utilization of asynchronous squirrel cage motors instead of
calibrated bleed orifices. These externally adjustable valves, special motors with soft starter devices
available from size 15CK (Fig. 4b), can be simply adjusted to – higher duration and operating convenience of the whole drive

In a standstill position, the delayed fill chamber contains part of coupling

– higher energy saving, thanks to current peak reduction
circuit (Fig. 4a) and a torque reduction is obtained, allowing the
motor to quickly reach the steady running speed as if started – limited starting torque down to 120% in the versions with a
without load. double delayed fill chamber
During start-up, oil flows from the delayed fill chamber to the – same torque at input and output: the motor can supply the

As soon as the fluid coupling reaches the nominal speed, all oil – torsional vibration absorption for internal combustion engines,
flows into the main circuit (Fig. 4c) and torque is transmitted with thanks to the presence of a fluid as a power transmission

– possibility to achieve a high number of start-ups, also with an
With a simple delayed fill chamber, the ratio between starting inversion of the rotation direction
and nominal torque may reach 150 %. This ratio may be further
reduced down to 120 % with a double delayed fill chamber, – load balancing in case of a double motor drive: fluid couplings

This is ideal for very smooth start-ups with low torque absorptions,
as typically required for machinery with large inertia values and – minimum maintenance
for belt conveyors. – Viton rotating seals
The advantages of the delayed fill chamber become more and
more evident when the power to be transmitted increases. – cast iron and steel material with anticorrosion treatment

OPERATION

10.2 OVERLOAD CONTROLLER (Fig. 6)

Fig. 6 1490 RPM
When load torque increases, slip also increases and output
speed consequently decreases.
The said speed variation can be measured by means of a sensor
sending a pulse train to the speed controller. If the rotating speed
goes lower than the set threshold (see diagram) on the controller,
a signal is given through the intervention of the inner relay.
The device has a “TC” timer with a blind time before starting (1 -
120 s) avoiding the alarm intervention during the starting phase,
and another “T” timer (1 – 30 s) preventing from undesired relay
intervention during sudden changes of torque.
The device also provides a speed proportional analogic output
signal (0 – 10 V), that can be forwarded to a display or a signal 1490 RPM

transducer (4 – 20 mA).
Standard supply is 230 V ac, other supplies are available upon
request: 115 V ac, 24 V ac or 24 V dc, to be specified with the
order.

This bulletin should be used by experienced personnel as a guide to the installation of the Model 5550 vibration switch. Selection
or installation of equipment should always be accompanied by competent technical assistance. We encourage you to contact
Metrix Instrument Co. or its local representative if further information is required.

IMPORTANT: BEFORE PROCEEDING TO INSTALL AND WIRE THE UNIT, READ AND THOROUGHLY UNDERSTAND THE-
SE INSTRUCTIONS.

3) Observe all local electrical codes.
Observe the following for ATEX installations:
4) All power must be switched off before opening of the enclosure in
an explosive atmosphere.
5) The Vibration Switch must be electrical connected by means of a
flameproof/dust cable gland or stopping box certified to IEC60079-0:
2007, IEC600079-1: 2007 and IEC600079-31: 2008.
6) For ambient temperatures below –10°C, use field wiring suitable
for the minimum ambient temperature.
7) Reinstall the cover by first insuring the sealing gasket is in place
and properly seated in the grove in the housing. Place the cover on
the unit and install the four cover bolts. Torque the four bolts to 6-7
ft/lbs. Caution should be used to not over torque the bolts as this
could damage the housing and compromise the seal.
8) The temporary conduit entry plugs are placed in the housing to
provide physical protection for the threads during shipping. Once the
unit is installed in the field these plugs must be replaced. These tem-
porary plugs do not provide adequate environmental protection for
the switch when installed in the field.
9) The NPT entry is 3/4-14 NPT.
10) The maximum constructional gap between the enclosure cover
and enclosure body shall be 0.038 mm, the maximum constructional
gap between the reset shaft and enclosure cover shall be 0.076 mm,
and the maximum constructional gap between the adjustment shaft
