Separator system for cost-effective cleaning of oil - Alfa Laval - #1

Text version of the page

Using high-speed centrifugal separation makes it possible to increase the reliability of the oil system and extend the service life of your oil. Alfa Laval’s disc-stack separators provide fast, efficient, simultaneous three-phase separation of water and particles. Emmie.2 removes more than 99 percent of all solid particles between 2 and 5 ìm from the oil, and virtually all of the water but none of the additives. It effectively separates airborne dust and undesirable particles from wear on paint, metal, plastic or rubber components from the oil. It also removes water that causes additives to oxidise and decompose, too. Emmie.2 removes contaminations from many different types of oils whether hydraulic or lubricating oil, compressor or gear oil, cutting or diesel oil. The result is lower costs due to prolonged service life of the oil and less disposal of filters and oil. Emmie.2 is a complete compact system, including separator, feed pump and control system. The control panel makes it easy to operate. The unit is installed in a bypass system and operates continuously. User-friendly operation Operator convenience is a key parameter in the design of the Emmie.2. The PLC-based control system is operated by means of a control panel. The symbols and messages in clear text are easy to understand. Quick couplings make it easy to connect the hoses when the cleaning unit is moved from tank to tank. With its compact and ergonomic design, Emmie.2 is easy to move across the workshop floor. And you can use it to serve several tanks or just one.
Solid particles accumulate inside the rotating bowl. When the bowl requires cleaning, it can be opened with a few simple operations.  When the separated water has reached a certain level in the collecting tank, a micro switch is activated, stopping the cleaning process and turning on an indicator light.  The surface of the rotating bowl is coated with a material that is 12 times harder than steel.  Large wheels make it easy to move Emmie.2 even when the floor is not entirely smooth.  The system incorporates a built in electric heater, which heats the oil to reach optimum viscosity prior purifying. Emmie.2 Separator system for cost-effective cleaning of oil
