GEA Westfalia OTC 2-03-137 Separator -- Dismantling & Assembling the Bowl

In this video, GEA Westfalia Separator shows you how to Dismantle and Assemble the Bowl of an OTC 2-03-137 Separator (OTC 3-03-137).

Metalworking Coolant Emulsions

Operating fluids like coolant emulsions or coolant oils must be regularly rid of solid impurities and water. Early and efficient action reliably avoids machine downtime and unhygienic production conditions. GEA realizes the treatment of operating fluids in bypass to the circulatory system.

In metal-processing, so-called coolant emulsions are used to reduce the frictional and forming energy, to dissipate heat, and to flush away the metal shavings during machining and forming operations. To be able to fulfill these diverse duties as an “anti-metal corrosive agent”, the emulsions are composed of different components such as emulsifiers, stabilizers, corrosion protection additives, high-pressure additives and mineral oil components – a complex mixture that tends to bacterial contamination and decay. Entrained impurities such as metal shavings and tramp fluids speed up the aging process.

The consequence: degradation of the emulsifiers, acid formation and discoloration. Unpleasant odors are produced and the operators may suffer from skin irritations. The entrained solids and tramp oil must therefore be removed from the emulsions as quickly as possible.

NOTE: This video is for visual demonstrations only, as technical modifications may have occurred. Putting together and installing must be carried out in accordance with GEA's Installation Diagram, Equipment List, Instruction Manual, Operations Manuals, etc. This video is a non-valid assistance to understand the maintenance -- valid is always the instruction manual which comes with the delivered machine.
