GF/GQ-105 Tubular Centrifuge
Operating Manual
Type and Purpose
1.1According to the national professional standard “Tubular Centrifuge Type
and Basic Parameters”: the tubular centrifuge is divided into two types: GF-
separation type, GQ-clarification type.
GF-105 tubular centrifuge is mainly used to separate emulsions (two or more
incompatible liquids), especially suitable for two-phase or liquid-liquid
separation with little difference in phase and three-phase separation of
liquid-liquid-solid containing a small amount of impurities.
GQ-105 tubular centrifuge is mainly used to separate various difficult-to-
separate suspensions, and is especially suitable for the solid-liquid
separation of suspensions with dilute concentration, fine particles, and very
small difference in solid-liquid weight.
1.2 The tubular centrifuge is in accordance with the national “Centrifuge
Model Compilation Method”: G-tube centrifuge, F-separation type,
Q-clarification type.

Machine Structure
Main components of the tubular centrifuge:
Body set, transmission set, bowl set, inlet bearing set and discharge tray
set.
Installation and Commissioning
4.1 Overall installation of the machine
The foundation plane should be kept relatively level, and the center of
gravity of the machine should be as close as possible to the center of gravity
of the foundation. When installing the machine, use the heavy hammer method to
align it so that the upper and lower holes of the machine are on a vertical
line, and a rubber plate of 5-8mm is placed under the machine base.
4.2 Power connection
4.2.1 Wire as required, and the position of the control switch should be easy
to observe and operate.
4.2.2 Check the circuit voltage to make it consistent with the motor’s
nameplate requirements.
4.2.3Check the direction of rotation. Seen from top to bottom, the direction
of rotation of the bowl is clockwise.
4.3 Installation of spindle, bowl and discharge tray
4.3.1 Screw the locking sleeve upwards and fix it in the upper position.
4.3.2 Install the buffer and the lower coupler in sequence, put the main shaft
nut into the main shaft, insert the main shaft from the lower end of the
locking sleeve and move it up, put the upper coupler into the upper end of the
main shaft, and tighten the tightening screw.
4.3.3 Move the main shaft upwards so that it is clamped on the conical surface
of the shaft center seat, so that the main shaft is fixed on the upper part.
4.3.4 Install the bowl into the machine body, paying attention that the bottom
shaft part should be installed in the sliding bearing in the fluid bearing
housing.
4.3.5 Install the discharge tray and the cover in turn.
4.3.6 Unscrew the protective cap on the bowl, and screw the protective cap on
the fuselage. Tap the spindle with your hand while catching it with the other
hand to prevent collision with the bowl. Check the connection between the bowl
and the spindle. After confirming that the joint is clean, connect the spindle
cap to the bowl and rotate the spindle cap clockwise (to connect the spindle
to the bowl), and then tighten it with a special wrench.
4.3.7 Check whether the upper driving pin is in the two holes of the buffer
and whether the upper and lower connectors are well connected, rotate the
bowl, observe whether the installation is qualified, and confirm that there is
no impact sound.
4.3.8 Unscrew the locking sleeve and lock it with the liquid pan cover.
4.4 Installation of foot bearing with inlet
The foot bearing with inlet is installed in the lower part of the fuselage. It
can be disassembled and cleaned after each separation according to the
requirements of the production process, or it can be cleaned regularly.
4.4.1 Put the assembled foot bearing with inlet into the center hole at the
bottom of the fuselage, and tighten the fixing bolts.
4.4.2 When replacing the sliding bearing (1mm inner diameter wear) and spring,
remove the foot bearing with inlet, and remove the pressure cap with a special
wrench.
4.5 Belt installation
When installing the belt, the belt pulley rotates approximately 180 degrees in
the counterclockwise direction. If the new belt cannot run in the center of
the belt pulley, it can be achieved by adjusting the upper and lower bolts of
the fixed motor.
4.6 Outer separation ring (suitable for separation type)
The choice of the outer separation ring is realized according to the nature of
the material and theoretical calculations. If the choice is not appropriate,
two results will be produced:
A. Certain particles that need to be recovered in the liquid will appear in
the heavy liquid.
B. Some particles in the heavy liquid will appear in the light liquid.
Therefore, a suitable outer separation ring must be selected to make the
separation proceed smoothly and receive a good separation effect, which can be
calculated as follows:
R1——————Light liquid outlet radius(Inner 36mm)
R2——————Heavy liquid outlet radius(Inner 97mm)
R3——————Neutral layer radius
Rt——————Severity of heavy liquid
Re——————Severity of light liquid
∮——————Re/Rt
When installing the outer separation ring, place the bowl on a special stand
and fix it, use a special tool to unscrew the pressure cap (left-hand thread),
install the selected outer separation ring, and then lock the pressure cap
with a special tool.
Use and operation
5.1Preparation before operation
5.1.1 When the percentage of impurities or solids in the liquid is less than
5%, the machine exerts the most ideal separation effect. If the percentage is
higher than 5%, it is recommended to clarify it first.
5.1.2 The feed is generally fed by a high tank or a peristaltic pump.
5.1.3 The pressure of the material entering the centrifuge through the nozzle
depends on the nature of the material, but the material must be sprayed upward
to at least half the height of the bowl. If the pressure is too low, part of
the liquid will not enter the bowl, but will flow out from the overflow port
of the foot bearing with inlet. If the pressure is too high, it will affect
the separation quality and easily cause machine vibration.
5.1.4 The inner diameter of the feed pipe should be large enough, the feed
flow can be controlled by a valve, and the flow can be determined according to
the specific conditions of the material. When the material is difficult to
separate, use a small flow and a small nozzle, otherwise use a large flow and
a large nozzle.
5.2 Start the machine
5.2.1 Before starting the machine, rotate the oil cup cover 90 ° -180 ° and
fill the sliding bearing with oil.
5.2.2 After turning on the motor power of the centrifuge, wait about 80
seconds, the bowl can reach the working speed (after reaching the working
speed, the machine keeps a sound and no change). The starting current of the
motor is generally around 30A.
5.2.3 After the machine is at full speed, the feed valve can be opened. First,
open the valve.
After the clarified liquid flows out of the liquid outlet, open the valve to
the pre-measured flow rate to clarify the liquid.
5.2.4 During the separation operation, observe whether the liquid flow rate is
normal, and observe whether the clarity meets the clarification requirements.
When the liquid at the outlet starts to become mixed, or when the flow at the
outlet decreases significantly, or when the overflow outlet flows , Indicating
that the solid phase is full, stop feeding.
5.3 Shutdown the machine
5.3.1 Before stopping the machine, the feed valve must be closed, and the
power supply can be turned off only when there is no liquid flowing from the
liquid outlet. Shutdown method: disconnect the power supply, and automatically
shut down.
5.3.2 Slag discharge and bowl cleaning
Contrary to the assembly sequence, turn the locking sleeve to the upper end,
separate the spindle from the bowl, and push the spindle to the upper end. Put
on the bowl protection cap, remove the liquid pan cover and liquid pan, remove
the bowl, and place it on the bowl support. Use a special wrench to remove the
bottom shaft cover at the lower end of the drum, and use a hook to take out
the tri-wing plate. Use a scraper and shovel to remove the solids in the drum
and clean it.
5.3.3 Assembly of the bowl
When the three-wing plate is installed in the bowl, pay attention to push the
three-wing plate to the top of the bowl, and align its positioning mark
(blades with a “V” character) with the positioning mark of the bowl. Screw on
the bottom shaft cover, use the bottom shaft wrench and a hand hammer to
tighten and position the bottom shaft cover (the “V” on the bottom shaft cover
should be aligned with or exceed the “V” on the bowl). If it exceeds the
alignment mark by 15mm, the gasket in the bottom shaft cover needs to be
replaced.
5.4 Precautions
5.4.1 Once the equipment is shut down, it must be disassembled and cleaned,
otherwise it cannot be started again.
5.4.2 The drum must be handled gently and cleaned.
5.4.3 All rotatable parts shall not be moved, shaken or hit hard.
Maintenance
6.1 Lubrication of the machine
6.1.1 High-speed lubrication is used for the lubrication of the high-speed
bearings in the tensioner parts and the spindle transmission parts, and the
lubricating oil is added once every 2-3 months.
6.1.2 The sliding bearing in the foot bearing with inlet is a self-lubricating
bearing. Every time it is used, a small amount of grease enters the inner
surface of the bearing by rotating the oil cup.
6.2 Safe operation technology
6.2.1 The bowl is the heart part of the machine. It is strictly dynamically
balanced. It must not be hammered or directly heated and baked. It should be
placed on a special support when placed and must not be dropped.
6.2.2 When disassembling the drum, the upper end face and threads should be
protected, and the protective cap should be worn in time.
6.2.3 The spindle must be hung when stored to avoid deformation.
6.3.4 When assembling and tightening the drum and the bottom shaft, a sleeve
cannot be added to the special wrench.
6.3.5 The connectors of the wires must not be exposed, and the body itself is
well.
6.3.6 If the discharge tray is not installed, it is not allowed to turn on,
which is prone to accidents.
6.3.7The separation of toxic materials requires an exhaust pipe.
