One or AllWestfalia Separator

ecoorceThe convincing eatures o Westalia

Separatorecoorce are the identical design

o all model sizes, lexible options and

specially implemented service package.

This newly developed generation of decanters has

been redesigned from the bottom up to suit current

customer requirements, starting with all model sizesbeing of identical design. If you know one, you know

them all, making things much easier for operating

and maintenance staff. It also has a longterm posi

tive impact on the availability of spare parts.

The uniform concept involves a modular principle,

allowing its engineering to be adapted to a customers

applicationspecific requirements even more simply

and precisely than ever. Whether the customer requires

low or high torque, low or high differential speeds, a

flat or a steep cone, oil or grease lubrication, hot or

normal running, open or hygienically closed discharge,

whatever the type of wear protection for bowl and

scroll or the specialgrade steels used: every property

can be perfectly matched to product and process. Sub

sequent modifications are also possible: the intelligent

design means that individual components are easy

and quick to replace if process requirements change,

for example, or if the decanter is to be used for other

products.

Our Original Manufacturer Service system, Westfalia

Separator directcare, was integrated specifically

for this new range of decanters to ensure maximum

availability of systems. Never before have customer

expectations and requests for improvement been

implemented more comprehensively than they have

in this case, in the form of optional services which can

be secured by contract. Westfalia Separatorecoforce

is a customized system which is economic for the user

and can moreover be planned in advance.

One or Processing By-Products o the

Fish and Meat Industry

Whether sh or meat are involved, Westalia Separatorecoorce is perectly

designed or the tough operating and process conditions o both these industries.

Decanters have a versatile role in the processing

of animal byproducts. They are used to obtain

protein meal, blood meal, gelatine, fish oil, fish

meal and industrial fats, for example, or for treating

flotation sludges. The working environment is

incredibly tough and hard. In hotrunning opera

tion, products are run at up to 14 C to render the

raw material and enable it to be processed. This

takes a lot out of the machine and the material.

Decanters used here have to be real workhorses

which can manage these extreme conditions day in,

day out. The new generation of Westfalia Separator

ecoforce decanters has this rugged quality.

The net result is that users processing animal by

products enjoy extended service lives, even for com

ponents under heavy strain such as scrolls and gears;

they also avoid faults and unplanned downtime and

increase the availability of their decanters through

out the service life with the features of Westfalia

Reliable and Rugged, One or

Continuous Duty

The gears, bearings, lubricants, materials, steels and production o Westalia Separator

ecoorce scrolls and bowls are designed or continuous heavy duty.

It is precisely applications with heavy demands

on material and engineering which require rugged

machines to perform their jobs reliably. Novel design

features of this new range of decanters ensure that

this objective is consistently met.

The basic design has been changed: unlike previ

ous generations, all Westfalia Separator ecoforce

decanters are provided with external gears. This

segregates the product space from the drive space,

which is particularly advantageous for hotrunning

applications, as gears are much less exposed to high

product temperatures, with a positive impact on

service life.

Lubrication concepts are also adapted to suit the harsh

conditions and consistently designed for a long ser

vice life, with the bearings for both bowl and scroll,

as well as the gears, all being oillubricated.

Highquality protection from wear significantly

increases the service life of components in contact

with the product for example anything from com

putercontrolled (and thus accurate) hardfacing of the

hardened metal cladding to tiles for the scroll.

The latest computer simulation software was used to

design the frame so that it has maximum dynamic

stability even at high bowl speeds.

It goes without saying that only highquality stain

less steels are used for all parts in contact with the

product.

One or Maximum Energy EiciencyNo more excessive dimensions: Westalia Separatorecoorce can be tailored

precisely to the quantities o your processes. Features such as the Westalia

Separatorsummationdrive and the new rotor geometry make a permanent

contribution to energy eciency.

In conjunction with the scaled geometry of all

decanters, high performance ensures that Westfalia

Separator

ecoforce can be designed exactly to suitthe individual quantities our customers process.

Avoiding excessive dimensions not only saves valu

able space: as less weight has to be made to rotate and

then kept rotating, the customized design also favors

lower energy consumption.

However, there are even more reasons for the

outstanding energy efficiency values of Westfalia

Separatorecoforce.

The hightorque Westfalia Separator summationdrive

always makes the optimum differential speed avail

able, with only power to be specific, only the power

actually required at any particular point being fed

in at all shafts. Intelligent kinematics combine or

sum the outputs of both motors and then transfer

this accurately to bowl and scroll, so there are no

more conversion losses such as those which occur

when other solutions involving backdrive are used.

Instead, the differential speed is provided in full, in

an energyefficient manner across a broad range. This

drive needs neither additional electrical components

to recycle energy nor belt drives to move power in a

circuit. In addition to the structural space saved, load

on shafts is reduced and costs are also cut by the drop

in wasted efficiency.

Rotor geometry is important, too: bowls in superdeep

pond design ensure even higher energy efficiency in

addition to an extremely high degree of clarification. The value for the deep pond is defined by the

ratio of the diameter of the solids discharged to the

internal diameter of the bowl. GEA Westfalia Separator

designed the new family of decanters with a deep pond

design, with the result that optimized flow characteris

tics are achieved in the bowl, clarification is improved

and there is less loss to friction when liquids are

discharged. The bottom line is a reduction of up to

percent in specific energy consumption.

Some Features just Run in the Family:

One or Outstanding Separation Eiciency

and Throughput

Decanters rom GEA Westalia Separator are renowned or their high degree o

separation eciency and maximum throughput capacities in that respect decanters

rom the Westalia Separatorecoorce range remain true to themselves.

But above and beyond that, changes to the design of

individual components, the use of simulation soft

ware, new developments in materials technology

and the modified drive concept have enabled us to

improve separation precision and throughput still

further.

This has been achieved by improving rotor geometry

and drive technology even further. The high rotor

speeds which can be achieved as a result ensure max

imum separation precision and increased through

puts. Improved flow characteristics in the bowl also

make an important contribution here, with a super

deep pond design and optimized distributor for

careful acceleration when the product is fed in. Last

but not least, the drive concept, too, plays a central

role, with the key concept here being scroll torque.

The newly developed, extremely flexible Westfalia

Separatorsummationdrive ensures maximum sepa

ration efficiency by automatically adapting the high

torque drive to the feed conditions prevailing in the

decanter.

The result is a differential speed which is always set

to the optimum, meaning that the decanter is perma

nently close to the process technology optimum. In

the process, the Westfalia Separatorsummationdrive

provides full torque across the whole differential

speed range, so there is no drop in performance.

One or the Future:

Westalia Separatorecoorce

No generation o decanters has ever been so easy to adapt to changing process

conditions and not just in terms o current operation. The rapid conversion options

provided by the modular design o Westalia Separatorecoorce even allow

subsequent use with dierent process stages or products, so investment decisions

no longer turn into one-way streets.

The Westfalia Separatorsummationdrive with large

differential speed ranges and rapid conversion

options, simple conversion from 2-phase to 3-phase

separation or upgrades for sanitary operations, gear

sizes or bowl designs simple adaptation is part of

the concept of this new range of decanters.

Planetary gears in three sizes per machine type allow

decanters to be adapted easily to modified process

conditions or torque requirements. The uniform con

struction of all sizes of decanter allows them all to be

converted rapidly.

The intelligent design of the Westfalia Separator

summationdrive means the new generation of

decanters has a drive concept with a broad control

range for differential speed right from the outset.

This ensures that the decanter is always operating at

the theoretical optimum. However, should a different

differential speed range be required subsequently

because the machine is to be used in a different pro

cess, for example the drive is very easy to convert

because the gears do not need to be replaced in the

process.

The patented Westfalia Separatorvaripond system

allows the level of liquid in the bowl to be controlled

quickly and automatically without any assembly steps

and with the machine running, achieving a consistent

concentration of discharged material, even if feed

conditions fluctuate.

New Westfalia Separator ecoforce can also be

changed quickly and easily from open to closed

discharge of the liquid phase or from a 2-phase to

a 3-phase version, likewise thanks to the modular

principle.

Modern control software makes it easier for operat

ing staff to deal safely with all phases of production.

At the same time, the measurement and control sys

tems are ready to be flexibly adapted to advances in

technology and thus to produce at optimum levels in

the long term.
