OVERVIEW
HUTCHISON HAYES HIGH G CENTRIFUGE MODEL 5500
This Service Manual describes the centrifuge, and lists instructions for the installation,
operation, and maintenance requirements.
The basic purpose of this centrifuge is to separate the liquid and solids from the fluid feed
(slurry.)
A stainless steel rotating bowl, driven by a 60 H.P. electric motor is used to centrifuge the
slurry; that is to sling the solids against its inside wall surface while a stainless steel
screw conveyor (faced with hard tiles) gathers and conveys these solids to a central
discharge area.
The conveyor is driven at a slightly slower RPM through a planetary gear reducer.
The liquids migrate to the front end of the machine and are dispelled through four (4)
adjustable plate dam openings, to a central discharge area.
For a more comprehensive description of how the centrifuge operates, see the Operation
Section of this manual.

THE 5500 HIGH G CENTRIFUGE EQUIPPED WITH VISCOTHERM

ROTODIFF HYDRAULIC CONVEYOR DRIVE
The standard drive configuration for a 5500 High G Centrifuge uses a planetary
gearbox to drive the screw conveyor. An alternative drive arrangement is available as an
option. The Viscotherm Rotodiff Hydrostatic Slip Drive Unit may be used in place of
the planetary gearbox. The unit consists of a hydraulic pump and the Rotodiff drive
device.
The gearbox is protected from overloading by a torque limit device which uses a preset
spring loaded linkage to trip a microswitch and shut down the centrifuge and the feed
pump in the event of an over-torque condition.
If the Rotodiff unit is installed, then disregard any reference in this manual to the gearbox
or the torque overload device.
The Rotodiff and pump unit are warranted by the manufacturer, VISCOTHERM AG
and an instruction manual for each unit is included with the HH 5500 Service Manual.
CAUTION
It is very important that the Rotodiff Start-Up/Operation Instructions listed in the
Instructions Manual be read and understood by operating personnel before any attempt to
run the centrifuge is made.

O. DANGEROUS MATERIAL APPLICATIONS
Hutchison Hayes, L. P. makes both standard equipment and equipment furnished with
certain explosion-proof accessories (motor, controls, etc.), as specified by the purchaser.
Standard equipment not furnished with explosion-proof accessories must never be used
with explosive, chemically unstable, or flammable materials of any kind. Severe
personal injury or property damage could result. When we supply equipment furnished
with explosion-proof accessories, whether we are the manufacturer or not, we warrant
that the particular accessories we describe as explosion-proof comply with accepted
industry standards for that term. However, this does not mean, and we cannot and do not
guarantee, that one of our machines furnished with explosion-proof accessories is safe for
use with explosive, chemically unstable, or flammable materials under ALL conditions.
In some instances, it may be necessary for the user to equip the machine with safety
devices not ordinarily placed on equipment of this type. In other cases, the application
may be so hazardous that the only prudent operating procedure is to isolate the equipment
in an expendable building and operate it by remote control from a safe distance. Because
Hutchison Hayes, L. P. has no control over these potential dangerous operating
conditions, we do not guarantee that equipment made by us can be safely used with
explosive, chemically unstable, or flammable materials, regardless of whether we
installed industry accepted explosion-proof accessories. The user has the responsibility
for insuring that all precautions required by his particular method of operation have been
taken.
P. REPAIRS
1. Do not make mechanical or electrical repairs or attempt disassembly unless
the equipment has come to a complete stop, the power is shut off, and a safety
lockout or other padlock is installed on the disconnected circuit. The locking
device should be tagged to identify the working party.
14
2. Do not make any repairs until dangerous vapors and gases are replaced with
clean air.
3. Hutchison Hayes, L. P. should be consulted before attempting to make major
repairs to any of the rotating equipment we manufacture. Under no
circumstances should weld repair or other alterations be made to major
rotating components without the full knowledge and assistance of qualified
Manufacturer personnel. Failure to obtain this assistance may result in rupture
of parts involved with possible injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
4. Repairs to hard-surfaced parts must be performed with strict quality control of
materials and methods. Hard-surfacing materials are brittle, and can break off
if improperly applied. After startup, periodic inspection of these parts is
necessary to anticipate separation of materials.
5. During repairs, when equipment may be physically or electronically unstable,
post barriers or signs announcing hazardous conditions.
6. After repairs and before restarting, reinstall all guards and reconnect all
mechanical and electrical safety devices.
Q. CORROSION, EROSION, AND PITTING OF ROTATING EQUIPMENT
1. To insure a high factor of safety under severe operating conditions, high speed
rotating equipment manufactured by Hutchison Hayes, L. P. is designed after
a careful stress analysis has been made of highly stressed parts. A thorough
control of metallurgical properties is maintained throughout manufacture, and
all material is warranted as free of defects at time of shipment.
2. It should be noted that equipment subjected to severe erosive or corrosive
environment could deteriorate over a period of time, depending on the severity
of the exposure and/or possible misuse. Users of high speed rotating
equipment should be aware of the fact that extremely high forces are brought
into play when their equipment is in operation. Any weakening of highly
stressed members by misuse, erosion, corrosion, chemical pitting, or stress
cracking must be guarded against to prevent possible metal failure.
3. In the interest of longer and safer operation of the equipment, Hutchison
Hayes. L. P. recommends that the equipment owner maintain a periodic (at
least monthly) inspection on highly stressed rotating and/or moving parts
which are subjected to erosive or corrosive wear.
4. The following points should be noted and the recommended action taken:
a. Do not operate equipment when:
1. Holes are wearing through rotating and/or moving parts.
2. Grooves greater than 1/16 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 1/16 depth or greater on rotating and/or moving
parts.
5. Component surfaces are covered with a light corrosion or etching.
b. Chemical pitting is observed:
15
All cases of chemical pitting, even less than 1/16 depth, should be
watched carefully. This pitting action is almost always due to the
breakdown of the passive film on stainless surfaces in the presence of
chlorides. This often occurs under product cake that has not been
sufficiently cleaned from the surface. High temperature, low pH, and
high acidity accelerate the pitting action.
5. Contact Hutchison Hayes,L. P. regarding the repair or replacement of rotating
and/or moving parts whose surface is noticeably pitted.

g.
Install the centrifuge unit in a location where sufficient headroom is allowed for
lifting the bowl out of its frame enclosure.
A 2-ton overhead hoist should be installed to facilitate inspection or repair work.
A clear area in the vicinity of the centrifuge should be provided to set the bowl
during inspection or repair.
Room should be allowed at the front end of the machine for withdrawing the
planetary gearbox. A zone approximately 20 wide x 2 6 long from the front
end of the gearbox should be kept clear.
Room should be allowed at the rear end of the machine for withdrawing the feed
tube. A zone approximately 6 wide x 3 0 long from the end of the feed tube
support clamp should be kept clear.
Clear access space should be provided around the centrifuge.
The centrifuge isolators should set on a smooth level surface on structural
members of sufficient strength.
IMPORTANT CAUTION
Since this centrifuge operates at high speed and is subjected to severe wear conditions, it
is important that any indications of weakening of highly stressed components be
recognized before a failure can occur.
To facilitate this HH recommends a monthly visual inspection on highly stressed
components, such as:
The bowl
Shafts wear plates
Wear tiles
Conveyor, etc.
If inspection reveals:
1. Holes worn through moving parts
2. Wear grooves greater than 1/16 thick in moving parts
3. Cracks present is moving parts
4. Chemical pitting to a depth of 1/16 or greater in moving parts
DO NOT OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT UNTIL REPAIRS ARE MADE
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE RECOMMENDATIONS MAY RESULT
IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE
17
PIPING
1. Customer piping tie-ins to the centrifuge should be made with flexible connections.
2. Customer tie-in at feed tube should have a suitable pipe support so that no weight is
imposed on the centrifuge feed tube.
A flexible connection is required here.
3. A flush line should be provided at the feed tube tie-in. HH recommends hot water.
A ball valve should be located as close as possible to the feed line to prevent plugging
the flush branch with solids.
4. Use a screen at the pump suction to protect the pump and centrifuge from oversize
solids.
5. Liquid discharge lines should have a minimum of " per ft. slope.
6. HH recommends installation of a pressure indicator in the feed line upstream of the
customer tie-in to regulate the feed supply to the centrifuge.
For HH 5500 centrifuges with Hydraulic Main Drive or Hydraulic Back Drive, the
following hydraulic oil is recommended: MOBIL DTE 26.
(See the Product Data Sheets on the following pages.)
Caution: Other hydraulic oils should only be used with written confirmation that the oil
conforms to the specifications on the MOBIL DTR 26 product.
18
PRESTART SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDED SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
LISTED BELOW MAY RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE
Read through this entire list before attempting start-up
Initial Installation
1. The correct bowl rotation must be verified. The bowl should rotate clockwise when
viewed from the motor end (rear of centrifuge) looking inboard.
2. The drive group enclosure guard and the gearbox shroud must be secured in place.
3. Check to see that the centrifuge unit is clear of rags, ropes, wires, or any other

8. Check all lubrication points. (See Lubrication Section)
9. Verify that all seal fittings at explosion-proof motor and control are sealed with
CHICO X Fiber and sealing compound.
10. The drive belt should be checked for correct tension. Caution: Over tightening belts
can damage the fluid coupling. (See Figure 1 at the end of this list.)
11. Electrical grounding straps must be secured in place, where required.
12. Maximum Speed, specific gravity, or pressure, indicated on the centrifuge name plate
is not to be exceeded.
13. No work is to be performed on the electrical system unless the power is shut-off.
14. Check the line voltage on initial start-up to ascertain that the voltage applied to the
motor controller is the same voltage that the motor is wired for.
15. If excessive vibration is present during start-up, shut the unit down immediately and
notify HH service representative.
19
16. Do not replace any damaged or worn out Machine Parts with other than HH
replacements.
17. The customer may replace ordinary wear parts such as oil seals, o-ring and gaskets.
A replacement list is in the Parts List Section.
18. Do not open the cover or attempt removal of a shroud or belt guard until the
centrifuge is motionless.
19. Use the correct tools for any assembly or disassembly work.
20. Do not supply slurry into the centrifuge until the unit is fully up to normal operating
speed.
21. If more than one (1) centrifuge is in operation, never attempt to exchange any
machined parts.
22. Never use a pipe wrench on any part of the centrifuge.
23. There is a slow down period as the machine decelerates towards shut-down. Leave
the cover shut until the centrifuge is motionless. Do not attempt any disassembly
before the machine is static.
24. Never prop the centrifuge cover partially open by using blocks of wood or any other
foreign object.
IMPORTANT CAUTION
25. Whenever the centrifuge cover is opened for cleaning, inspection, etc., the one (1)
hinge safety pins must be engaged to prevent accidental closing of the cover, this
procedure should always be followed.

SECTION 3
OPERATION
22
OPERATION
The slurry to be separated is pumped into the feed tube, axially located at the rear of the
machine.
The slurry is directed into a feed chamber where it is dispersed by four (4) externally
mounted feed nozzles and directed by centrifugal force along and against the inside wall
of the bowl.
This ring of slurry or pond will contain solids against the bowl wall. These solids are
scrolled forward over a beach area by the screw conveyor and discharged through four
(4) ports at the solids end of the centrifuge located in the rear.
The lighter liquids migrate forward and are discharged through four (4) adjustable plate
dam nozzles at the liquids discharge area located at the front end of the centrifuge; i.e. the
gearbox end.
OVER-TORQUE PROTECTION
A TORQUE CONTROL DEVICE is located at the front of the gearbox. If a
predetermined torque limit on the screw conveyor is reached during operation, the device
will trip and close a microswitch sending a signal to cut off the feed supply
This protects the screw conveyor and the gearbox from over-torque damage.
A torque arm, contacting a rub pad on a trip lever is held in balance by means of a spring
loaded cylinder linkage.
If the pre-set torque limit is exceeded, this torque arm will rotate the trip lever out of the
way and the torque arm will rotate at the same RPM as the bowl.
When this happens, no solids can be conveyed to the solids discharge ports. The spring
loaded cylinder linkage will have tripped, and caused the feed to stop so no further
accumulation of slurry can occur.
When the torque-control device trips:
a. Stop the centrifuge.
b. Remove the gearbox shroud.
c. Rotate the torque-arm clockwise by hand to determine if the screw conveyor is
stopped by an accumulation of solids or debris.
d. Replace the gearbox shroud and restart the centrifuge.
e. If the gearbox rotates, the conveyor is blocked and will need cleaning. If the gearbox
does not rotate but the centrifuge trips out immediately after restart, the bowl must be
cleared by cleaning. Diagram to be inserted
23
WARNING
SUDDEN HIGH SPEED ROTATION OF THE TORQUE ARM
An aluminum torque arm is externally mounted on the planetary gearbox first stage
pinion shaft. This part faces against the pivot arm (lever) which when tripped through a
spring-loaded compression link, mechanically operates a microswitch causing motor
shutdown. This happens if the centrifuge conveyor becomes jammed or locked-up and
rotates the bowl.
This aluminum torque arm, item 950 normally is stationary. However, it can come up to
the bowl/gearbox rotating speed instantaneously without warning in the event of a
conveyor jam.
It is important that all operating personnel understand this hazard and at all times keep
clear from this torque arm while the centrifuge is running.
24
CLEANING BOWL
1. Flush the bowl with water before shutting down
2. When the bowl is flushed, stop the machine but continue flushing.
3. Rotate the bowl by jogging the motor.
4. Reverse rotate bowl by pulling on V-belts.
CAUTION: Keep Hands Clear of Pulleys
NOTE: Rotating each way while flushing will move some solids to the liquids discharge
and some flushing liquid to the solids discharge.
If this is a problem, arrange to divert the liquids and solids discharge before cleaning.
If cleaning does not remove solids deposits, the bowl will have to be pulled for inspection
and further cleaning. Go to Disassembly Section.
PLATE DAMS ADJUSTMENT
1. The four (4) plate dams are used to set the Pond depth.
2. The plate dams are located in the front hub. Access to the plate dams is allowed by
raising the centrifuge cover with the machine shut down.
3. The plate dams are adjusted by loosening three (3) capscrews and rotating the plate
clockwise.
4. A Maximum Setting, (i.e., the highest number engraved on the plate aligned with the
arrow mark on the front hub) will cause a maximum pond depth giving maximum
clarification of the liquid.
5. A Minimum Setting (i.e., the lowest number engraved on the plate aligned with the
arrow mark on the front hub) will cause a minimum pond depth and will result in the
Maximum dryness of the discharged solids.
IMPORTANT
6. When plate dams are indexed by rotation, all four (4) dams must be indexed to the
same number.
7. After adjusting, always recheck all twelve (12) capscrews for correct tightness.

RECOMMENDED LUBRICATING GREASE FOR THE CENTRISMART

CHEVRON SRI-2 or MOBIL SHC 220
Lubrication fittings are located at the pillow block housing (front and rear) and on the
front and rear hub shafts for conveyor bearing lubrication.
NOTE: The conveyor bearing grease fittings are located inside the machine frame, and
the cover must be opened to gain access to the grease fittings.
NOTE: Pillow block and conveyor bearings are shipped from our manufacturing plant
filled with grease.

NEW IMPROVED
SYNERGY
HIGH PERFORMANCE GEAR OIL
SYNERGY is an ultra-tough, multi-service gear oil designed to smoothly lubricate all

types of gears under all conditions. Synergy outperforms other E.P gear oils because it
contains Synslide , our proprietary synthetic oil film so tough and tenacious it is not
squeezed out of the pressure area. It virtually eliminates both gear and bearing wear
even under severe squeeze film conditions caused by extremely high loads, sudden
shock loads, or low Rpms. Slippery synthetic molecules increase the lubricity and
oiliness of SYNERGY. Gears run smoother, quieter, cooler and longer without
overhauls. SYNERGY is non-corrosive to both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Its
ability to separate rapidly and completely from water prevents sludge and wear found in
wet gear boxes (such as cooling tower gear boxes). SYNERGY employs a unique, dense,
high molecular weight synthetic cushioning additive to prevent fatigue failure in gears
subjected to sudden loads.
SYNERGYS exclusive performance advantages:
Severe Service performs under loads where other E.P. gear oils fail
Lower Coefficient of Friction saves energy and reduces temperatures
High Temperature Performance eliminates harmful deposits extends oil drains
Cushioning Molecules reduces fatigue failures in bearings and gears

ASSEMBLY TIPS
MAINTENANCE CAUTIONS FOR
THE 5500 HIGH G CENTRIFUGE
Bearings:
The inner and outer race must be replaced as a set.
Opened bearing, or cleaned parts should be kept covered until assembly.
Always use a thermometer to check the temperature of oil used to heat the
bearings.
If no heat is used to install bearings, use only an arbor press to insert bearings in
place.
Correctly lubricate all bearings before operating the centrifuge.
Do not wash new bearings with solvent before installing.
Keep new bearing wrapped and boxed until ready for use.
Seals:
Avoid touching the sealing surface. Keep seals wrapped in soft tissue until ready
for installation.
Threaded Connections:
All threaded connections and pilot diameters should be wiped clean and
lubricated with an anti-galling compound such as NEVER-SEEZ.
Torque all screws on the rotating assembly per the Recommended Capscrew
Seating Torque charts shown in the Start-Up Section of this Manual. To help
prevent capscrew failure if excessive torque is required to seat mating parts
during assembly, the over torqued screws should be removed, discarded and
replaced with new screws installed at the correct torque.
O-Rings:
Inspect for nicks and cuts before installing, if damaged, do not install. Lubricate
O-Rings for easier installation.
49
Machined Parts:
Clean with degreasing solvent before reassembly.
Set parts on clean work area and protect finished surfaces and openings on the
part.
Be sure to align any balanced parts on the rotating assembly by matching the VMarks stamped on the parts.
If more than one (1) centrifuge is owned, do not interchange any parts which
comprise a balanced rotating assembly.
50
Some Assembly and Disassembly Tips
1. Read the Service Manual

2. Keep all mating surfaces free from dirt and handle carefully to avoid nicks and burrs
to the mating surfaces.
3. Check the inside of the conveyor for solids build-up
Not cleaning solids build-up can be the cause of vibration problems.
4. Lubricate O-Rings and fasteners when reassembling centrifuge components.
Anti-seize compound should be used on stainless steel fasteners because of their
tendency to gall when used with mating stainless steel parts.
5. Follow the recommended torque values shown in the torque chart in the Service
Manual.
6.
Conveyors equipped with carbide tiles should never be set down directly on a
concrete floor. The carbide is very brittle and tile damage could result.
7. Monitor items such as drive belts, O-Rings, seals, and vibration isolators.
These items will become brittle with age and deterioration will adversely affect
centrifuge performance.
Replace these items when indicated by inspection.

Flighting Tile Caution

Caution
The Flighting Tiles used on the 5500 conveyor may be the spray-on hard face type or the
sintered tungsten carbide backing tile type.
The backing tile type is comprised of stainless steel backing plate, a sintered tungsten
carbide tile and a copper/silver solder sandwich between the two.
Even though the rotating assembly is comprised of 316 S.S., the copper will not
withstand attack by highly corrosive chemicals such as sulfuric and nitric acids.
If the copper/silver solder tile bond is attacked by corrosive chemicals, the result will be
tiles coming loose during centrifuge operation.
To avoid this potentially costly problem, always check any chemicals for compatibility
with copper/silver solder before attempting to introduce them into the centrifuge.

1. Construction
(1) The reduction gear unit is a two (2) stage planetary system. The first stage
uses two (2) planetary gears and the second stage uses three (3) planets.
(2) All bearings are either ball or cylindrical roller type.
(3) Lip style oil seals are used at the gearbox cover plates where the output and
first stage pinion shafts pass through.
O-Rings are used to seal mating parts which are static with respect to each
other.
(4) Threaded plug openings are provided for oil fill, overflow, and drain.
2. Installation
(1) The gearbox is designed to operate in the horizontal plane, that is, axially in
line with the model 5500 centrifuge rotating assembly.
(2) The gearbox is driven by means of a gear flange which attaches at the
centrifuge end to the liquids end bowl hub assembly. The gearbox bolts
directly to the other end of the gear flange.
(3) The gear flange must be accurately aligned within .002 inches runout, and
secured correctly to the bowl hub before the gearbox is mounted.
(4) After mounting the gearbox, check runout on the first stage side. If runout
exceeds .005 inches, shims may be required.
3. Operation
(1) Before running the gearbox, be sure that the unit is filled to the proper level
with lubricating oil.
(2) For recommended lubricating product, see Table 1.
(3) With the fill opening at top dead center, remove the plug from the fill
connection and the uppermost level connection which is located on the cover
plate furthest away from the centrifuge.
Pour oil into the fill port located on top of the casing until it starts to overflow
from the side port.
Plug tightly after filling. Use Teflon tape. The required oil quantity is
approximately one (1) gallon.
(4) On initial operation, check the direction of rotation of the gearbox. It should
be counter-clockwise as you stand at the gearbox end facing the centrifuge.
60
(5) If excessive temperature on the casing (above 180 deg. F.) occurs, stop the
centrifuge and check for the cause.
(6) If excessive noise and/or vibration occur suddenly, stop the centrifuge and
check for the cause.
4. Lubrication
(1) Gears are lubricated by oil bath.
(2) Refer to Table 1 for recommended lubricating product.
(3) Never add a different brand of lubricating oil to the existing supply. Mixing
oil must be strictly avoided.
(4) When changing brands, flush gear unit thoroughly before filling.
5. Maintenance.
(1) Oil Change Intervals
First, change after 500 hours of operation, then every six (6) months or 2500
operating hours whichever comes first.
(2) Any unusually severe operating conditions such as rapid ambient temperature
fluctuations, or the presence of corrosive gases in the operating area could
affect the life and characteristics of the lubricating product. Contact the
manufacturing company for recommendations to follow.
(3) For extended storage of the GB-53 (30 days or longer) fill the unit with a
corrosion preventive oil and run for a short period after flushing.
(4) Restarting the Unit:
Empty and flush the gearbox. Refill with the correct type and quantity of oil.
(5) Wipe off any spilled oil. Run the unit briefly and check for leaks.
6. Dismantling
We recommend that the gearbox not be dismantled because special handling
procedures are required for maintenance of these units. A clean room
environment and a thorough knowledge of clearances and fits are required. With
the exception of replacement of the first stage pinion bearing and seal, the
gearbox should be returned to its manufacturer for inspection and damage and/or
wear assessment.
An incorrectly reassembled planetary gearbox could cause major damage to the
unit, the centrifuge, and could pose a potentially lethal danger to operating
personnel.
61
7. Assembly
(1) Use care to prevent any foreign debris from entering the gearbox.
(2) Secure capscrews using proper torque.
1/ 4-20 Capscrews = 150 in. lbs.
5/16-18 Capscrews = 305 in. lbs.
(2) Change O-Ring whenever the gearbox is opened up.

Electrical Enclosures, Vaporizers and Desiccants
Foam Corrosion Inhibitor (Hoffman Engineering Co.)

These are foam shapes of various sizes impregnated with special patented chemical
inhibitors, buffers and anti-oxidants. The chemicals vaporize and condense on all
surfaces of the enclosed area. Vapors will be redeposited in the event of condensation of
moisture on surfaces. These vapors reach every part of the enclosure, protecting all
interior components (ferrous and non-ferrous metal parts) from corrosion.
Use of the inhibitors eliminates the need for spraying, wiping, greasing, pre-coating,
special wrapping or drying agents. The vapors have no harmful effect on commonly used
plastics, rubber, paint, and adhesives.
The inhibitors have an expected lifetime of one (1) year unless they are subjected to:
A.
B.
C.
D.
Extended air exchange.

Temperatures above 120 Deg. F.
Direct Contact with water
pH below 4.5 or above 10.5
Desiccant:
Humisorb Multiform Desiccant Products, Inc.
Product is reusable-reactive by heating at 245 Deg. F. to 260 Deg. F. for sixteen (16)
hours.
Complies with MIL-D-3464 Type 2, and MIL-P-116 method 2.
Product is dry, dustless, inert, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, non-corrosive, and nondeliquescent.

Storage of HH Centrifuge
Recommended indoor storage and rust prevention procedures for new horizontal
decanting centrifuges (long-term storage implies periods in excess of three (3) months
idle time.)
Note:
It is the responsibility of the owner to protect and maintain the equipment after
shipment from HH.
If the centrifuge is not to be installed immediately after shipment, the unit should be
left in the original factory packaging.
Centrifuge Assembly:
1. All accessible openings are closed with tape, overwrap, plugs, etc., for protection.
2. Nameplates are covered with tape.
3. Electrical devices such as the junction box, vibration shutdown switch, microswitches, conduit boxes, etc., are wrapped with overwrap* and protective tape.
*Overwrap refers to any self-adherent, grease, oil and waterproof material which can
be molded around component parts.
4. The grease lubricated pillow block bearings are filled with the specified grease at the
factory prior to shipment.
5. The planetary gearbox is filled with the specified lube oil at the factory prior to
shipment.
6. The fluid coupling (located at the main drive motor output shaft) is filled with the
specified oil at the factory.
Guidelines for Long Term Storage
1. The centrifuge should be stored in a building with a minimum temperature of 50 Deg.
F. (10 Deg. C.). The storage area should be a clean, dry place free from excessive
vibration, high humidity, dust, or corrosive fumes.
2. The unit should be tagged with instructions for startup after an extended period of
storage.
3. Any loose parts should be boxed with rust inhibitor paper. No paper should be placed
on the base of the box and machined unpainted surfaces should be coated with a rust
preventive product.
4. The centrifuge assembly should be placed on a sturdy wooden platform. The
platform boards should be spaced with 1/ 4 gap between the boards.
110
5. A protective waterproof shroud should cover the entire centrifuge assembly, top and
four (4) sides.
Storage Maintenance
1. The centrifuge rotating assembly should be rotated by hand at least six (6) times
every three (3) months.
2. Leave the sealed openings on the equipment closed.
3. Touch-up any damaged paint surfaces.
4. Do not paint rotating parts or threaded surfaces.
5. Motors should have their shafts rotated every three (3) months in order to keep the
bearings lubricated and prevent rusting.
Coatings & Oils
At regular intervals during equipment storage, all exposed-machined surfaces unpainted
steel parts, shafts, pipe fittings, etc., should be examined for signs of rust, pitting, and
moisture.
These parts should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with the appropriate medium listed
below:
1. Molykote Metal Protector (Dow Corning)
A wax type rust preventative, which may be sprayed, brushed, or dipped onto bare steel
parts. This product dries to a hard, dry film, which is almost invisible.
For long storage periods, or shipment overseas, an overwrap must be used.
2.
Rust Veto 342 (Houghton Co.)
A soft amber colored material leaving a transparent, dry plastic film on the coated part.
Applied by brushing, dipping or spraying, it is used for maximum heavy-duty protection
on interior or exterior surfaces with or without a covering.
Before using the treated part, remove rust veto with solvent.
111
3. Rust Veto 377 (Houghton Co.)

A light, polar type water-displacing oil. It is used on metal parts stored indoors. It can be
sprayed on intricate parts and bearings.
Long-term storage requires an overwrap. Removal from the treated part is not required
before use.
An equivalent is Antirust #77 WD Oil by International Chemical.
4. Rust Veto Concentrate (Houghton Co.)
A rust preventive that is mixed in one (1) part with nine (9) parts lubricating oil, or
hydraulic oil, etc. It is circulated through gearboxes and hydraulic systems and then
drained before shipment. It is compatible with most hydraulic oils and removal is not
required before use.
5. Ferrocote 346 (Quaker Chemical Co.)
A heavy oil which leaves a soft, paste like film on the part surface. Used for outdoor
storage, it must be used with overwrap. The treated part must have this coating removed
with solvent before use.
Contact each Manufacturer as required to determine if the rust preventives are
compatible with the type of oil you are using.

OPERATION:
The Autogard 400 Series torque limiters disengage the drive completely on overload in both
directions of rotation. After disengagement the drive is running free, which permits highspeed operation (at or above normal motor speeds). A shut down switch must be
incorporated, as the unit is not designated to run continuously disengaged.
115
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
1. Mounting Sprocket or Sheave.
A. Mounting with tapered bushing. (Taper-lock, Q.D., etc.)
A sprocket, sheave, or timing belt pulley may be mounted directly on Model 401
by using a tapered bushing. Select a sprocket or sheave to fit M dia. Of the
Autogard (Table 1.) No key is used with the bushing when mounting on the
torque limiter. Thoroughly clean all grease and oil from M dia. With solvent
prior to mounting the bushing. Be certain that the bushing is properly mounted
and tightened according to the instructions accompanying each bushing.
CAUTION: It is possible to overtighten the bushing capscrews to an extent that
will deform the adapter (4) and prevent its free rotation on the hub (1). Make sure
that the adapter and bushing assembly is free to rotate on the hub after the bushing
is fully tightened. To check this, the adjusting nut (11) must be backed off to
release all pressure from the spring (10). Re-tighten adjusting nut to original
position after free-rotation check is completed.
B. A sprocket sheave, etc., may also be mounted on Model 401 by bolting. The
adapter (4) must be removed for drilling and tapping the mounting holes (Table 1)
if they were not ordered with the unit. See Disassembly Procedure.

Attach sprocket, sheave, etc., onto adapter prior to reassembly. Use bolts of a length that
provides no more engagement in the adapter (4) than the maximum shown in Table 1.
Make sure there are no protrusions inside the adapter, which might interfere with the hub.
The unit may then be reassembled per instructions.
2. Mounting Sprocket or Sheave on Models 402 and 409.
3. Proper Spring
Check to see that the correct number of springs is being used to release torque (Table
4). DO NOT TIGHTEN THE SPRINGS BEYOND ITS MINIMUM OPERATING
LENGTH (with the torque limiter engaged) or the springs will not allow sufficient
movement of the slide plate to let the balls leave their seats during an overload.
Damage to the machinery or to the Autogard will result.
4. Lubrication
The needle bearing, spline surfaces, plate faces and balls have the proper type and
amount of lubricant applied during the assembly at the factory. No further lubrication
should be required at initial installation.
MOUNTING TORQUE LIMITER ON SHAFT

MODEL 406
Mount the torque limiter hubs on the shafts in the same manner as described. For
coupling units, Model 406, mount the torque limiter assembly on one of the shafts and
the coupling hub, part 15, 16 or 18 on the other shaft. Bring the shafts together and align
the coupling carefully, checking with a dial indicator. For optimum life, maintain
alignment within the limits shown in Table 3.

INITIAL STARTUP
Prior to startup, examine torque limiter to make sure it is fully engaged with the balls
seated correctly in both plates.
Obtain initial torque setting by one of the following methods:
A. The setting as furnished will be within + 10% of the torque value specified on the
order. If the factory adjustment has been altered during assembly procedure, be sure to
reposition the adjusting nut in its original location as measured during the first step of the
disassembly procedure. Secure nut in place with setscrews.
B. Torque limiter to be set at job site Sizes 1 through 5.
1. Setting by trial adjustments:
Start up the drive at minimum torque setting. If the torque limiter disengages before the
normal operating load level is reached, progressively tighten the adjusting nut until the
drive will start and operate under normal load without tripping.
Starting torque is usually the highest torque that the torque limiter must transmit, but
occasionally the torque limiter must be set to accommodate higher peak operating
torques.
After desired torque setting is obtained, secure adjusting nut with setscrews.
2. Setting to an established specified torque:
An appropriate setting can be made from a Torque Adjustment Chart furnished with the
torque limiter if requested at the time of order.
119
CALIBRATION SPACERS
The torque limiter is shipped from the factory either with the torque setting pre-adjusted
as specified at the time of the order, or furnished unset for adjustment at the time of
installation.
All units are supplied with minimum spacer only to prevent from locking up (unless
required otherwise by customer.)
TORQUE ADJUSTMENT
SIZE 6 AND LARGER
To facilitate adjustment under the high loads, these larger units use a number of adjusting
bolts. See Fig 12.
When building, assemble all components as Fig. 12, but omit the adjustment spacer. Be
careful to stack the disc springs correctly. This is generally as shown in Fig 12, but
reference should be made to the assembly drawing as the number and method of stacking
can vary.
Assemble the pillars (10B), springs (10A, washers (10C) and adjustment bolts (10E) into
the adjusting nut (11A), and lightly tighten the bolts, so that as the adjusting nut is
tightened, the hexagon engages with the groove in the slide plate.
Tighten the adjusting nut as far as possible, using the bolts to equalize the length of each
spring stacks, so that all pillars are engaged with the groove on the slide plate.
To increase the torque, tighten each bolt by an equal amount, but not enough to disengage
the hexagons from the slide plate. One or two turns of the bolt are normally a convenient
amount. Then tighten the adjusting nut without using excessive force. Shortening of the
spring stack is by means of the bolts, not by the nut. Continue with this procedure of
alternately tightening bolts and adjusting nut until the correct spring length is achieved,
then slacken the bolts. THE UNIT WILL NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY UNTIL THIS
IS DONE.
When the correct torque setting is achieved, remove the pillar bolts completely, replace
the adjustment spacer, and retighten the bolts. There must be a gap between the thick
washer and the bolts. There must be a gap between the thick washers and the adjusting
nut. Lock the adjusting nut with the setscrews.
NOTE
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT ANY SET OF SPRINGS IS NOT USED ABOVE ITS
CORRECT RANGE. IF THE SPRINGS ARE OVER-TIGHTENED, THE BALLS
WILL BE PREVENTED FROM ROLLING FROM THE SEATINGS, IF SLACKENED
TOO FAR, SO THAT A POSITIVE LOAD IS NOT APPLIED TO THE BALLS AT
ALL TIMES. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ONE OR MORE BALLS MAY REMAIN IN
THEIR SEATINGS DURING TRIPPING. IN BOTH CASES IT IS PROBABLE THAT
120
DAMAGE WILL OCCUR TO THE MACHINERY OR TO THE AUTOGARD

TORQUE LIMITER.
RESETTING PROCEDURE
1. Shut down the drive.
2. Investigate and remove the cause of overload or jam.
3. Reset.
This is achieved either by reversing the driving side of the drive or by taking the
driven side forward.
Note that these units will trip at an accurate torque setting in both directions. Reengaging must, therefore, be carried out at a speed slow enough to allow the unit to
fully re-engage and then accelerate the mass of the driven machine.
If this is attempted at too high a speed (e.g. by direction-line starting) the set torque of
the unit can be exceeded, causing tripping in the opposite direction.
The limiting re-engaging speed depends on factors such as the inertia of the driven
plant, elasticity of the drive, and the torque setting of the Autogard, so it is not
possible to give exact limiting re-engaging speeds. However, as a guide for most
applications it should be under rather than over 100 RPM. Many drives incorporate a
jogging facility, which can be used for re-engaging.
DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
1. Measure and make note of the position of the adjusting nut on the hub before
proceeding with disassembly.
2. With spring end up, loosen the setscrews and remove the adjusting nut, spring,
spacer, limit switch plate, slide plate and drive balls.
3. Carefully work drive plate over spline so as not to damage bearing material on I.D. of
drive plate.
4. Clean all parts thoroughly and inspect the bearing surfaces. Carefully blend out any
scratches.
5. Reassemble
MAINTENANCE
The frequency of maintenance will depend on the operating environment and number of
trips, but once every 2,000 operating hours should be adequate in most applications.
Proceed as follows:
If requested a grease fitting is located at either the end of the hub or the outer diameter of
the adapter. Apply good quality lithium grease to all grease points. A general inspection
of the unit should also be performed at this time, checking that all fasteners are tight, etc.
For unusual conditions, such as a very high RPM, high ambient temperatures, high
vibration or dirty environment, more frequent or special maintenance may be required.
121
It is good practice when other equipment in the drive train is down for service to make a
general inspection of the torque limiter. Check for tightness of the torque limiter on its
shaft, tightness of the sprocket, etc., and check for appearance of adequate lubrication.
This may be done by backing off the adjusting nut and separating the plate set to permit
viewing the interior components. If there is any indication that further servicing may be
desirable, the torque limiter should be disassembled and inspected as described above
under DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE.
NOTE: If, after the drive has been in operation for some time and the torque limiter
suddenly starts disengaging for no apparent reason, check to see whether something in
the drive train or driven machine, such as normal wear, a bad bearing, damaged sprocket,
misalignment, change in machine duty, etc., may be the cause of the problem.
A visual inspection of the drive and slide plate is then recommended. Follow
disassembly procedure above. Note that although a ball path between the ball seats
should normally be visible, excessive wear on the seats themselves may require
replacement of the drive plate.
Reassemble and follow INITIAL STARTUP procedure.
BUILDING PROCEDURE
If the components being used are not new, they should be inspected for accidental
damage or wear. Particular attention should be paid to bearing surfaces. Any slight
damage marks should be carefully blended out.
Any components showing substantial damage or wear should be replaced.
GREASE
Use good quality grease. Units operating in conditions of high or low temperatures may
require the appropriate special grease.
122
View from Drive Plate to Cage Plate

Figure 10
REFER TO FIGURES 10 AND 11

TO ASSIST THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE:
A. Check the hub thread by running the adjusting nut (11A) down its full length on the
hub.
B. Grease the needle bearing (2) and assemble onto the hub in this order:
1. Thrust washer (2B)
2. Needle bearing (2A)
3. The second thrust washer (2B)
C. Assemble the strut ring (29A) onto the hub, with the flat face against the thrust
bearing. Check that it can rotate freely.
D. Drive plate/pawl sub-assembly.
Lightly oil the pawls and pawl springs (28A and 28B) and assemble into the drive
plate (3).
Check that the pawls can move freely. It must be possible to push them into the drive
plate flush with the surface and they must move easily from that position due to the
spring pressure.
E. Additional Notes for SR units.
If the pawl locating pins (28C) are not already in place, they should now be carefully
fitted after removal of the pawls and springs. Note, the pins must be positioned with
the seam away from the pawl, see Fig. 10 (28C). Re-assemble pawls and springs and
check that they still have free movement.
F. Assemble the drive plate onto the strut ring.
G. Lightly grease the bearing surface of the hub and assemble the tape thrust bearing
(4K) against the flange. If tape journal bearing (4J) is included, carefully position in
the bore of the adapter (4), and assemble onto the hub. Make sure the tape bearing
stays in position during this assembly and check that the adapter can then turn freely
on the hub.
123
Connect the adapter to the drive plate with capscrews (20A) and roll pins (7B).
Check that the drive plate/adapter assembly can rotate freely on the hub.
H. On size 1 and 2 SR units, assemble the cage plate spring (6B) onto the hub, ensuring
that it is housed in the counterbore in the strut ring, and that the coils are not
intertwined. On size 3 and larger, a bayonet type of cage plate retention is used. The
cage plate is placed in the slide plate with the stop pin notch 90 to the proper
location. The stop pin (7B) should now be installed per Fig. 10. (Note position of
splits in rollpins.)
I. Check that the stop pin (7B) is correctly positioned in the slide plate (7) and is not
loose or damaged. It should lie flush with the top of the flange of the slide plate.
Size 1 uses a single pin, all other sizes use double pins, see Fig. 10.
Place the slide plate (7) on the bench with the flange and ball seat face upwards.
Lightly grease the cage plate (6A) and place it on the slide plate with the shallow
recess in the bore upwards.
The correct angular positioning of this plate relative to the ball seats and pins is most
important, see Fig 10. The cage plate holes must be directly over the ball seatings,
and the stop pin (7B) in the slide plate must be central in the cage plate cutout.
Ensure that the plate is not 180 degrees out of position the stop pin must be
centrally positioned in the wider slot.
J. Insert some grease into each of the cage plate holes, and place drive balls (5A) and
strut balls (5B) in these holes. There should be sufficient grease to hold these balls in
position when the assembly is inverted.
K. Insert springs (10A) into the adjusting nut (11A). Some grease in the holes will help
hold these positions for the next stages of assembly.
L. Carefully holding the cage plate in position, invert the slide plate, and pass it over the
hub thread to engage with the splines on the hub. As soon as the splines are engaged,
rotate the drive plate until the pawls are symmetrically facing the cutout in the slide
plate flange. Then push the slide plate fully home, holding the cage plate until the
last possible moment.
The drive balls should now be engaged with the seatings in the drive plate, and the
pawls pushed almost completely into the drive plate by the flange on the slide plate.
There should be a small gap, about 0.010 inches (0.25mm) between the slide plate
flange and the drive plate.
M. Hold the slide plate in this position against the cage plate spring pressure, and screw
the nut/spring assembly onto the hub until the springs are against the slide plate with a
positive pressure more than the cage plate spring load so that the slide plate is held in
position.

SIZE 6 AND LARGER. (See Fig. 12)

These units differ from the smaller sizes in three respects, and the assembly procedure is
as for the smaller units apart from these features.
1. The tape bearings in the adapter are replaced by a ball bearing.
2. The torque springs are guided on pillars instead of being housed in the adjusting nut.
Disc springs are normally used on these sizes.
3. See notes on Torque Adjustment regarding assembly of the spring System on these
larger units.

5500 CENTRIFUGE OPERATION

Overview:
Never power-up an open control panel. Always lock out and tag out a control
panel before doing any work in the control panel.
Before attempting to start up the 5500 Centrifuge System, carefully read the
Operations Manual and do not proceed until you have a thorough
understanding of the system. Any questions you may have concerning the 5500
Centrifuge System can be directed to the Technical Services Group of Hutchison
Hayes, L. P. (HH) by calling (800) 441-4840.
It is important to understand that the 5500 Centrifuge is operated as part of a system,
not as an individual piece of equipment. This system as a minimum should include:
Feed System
Duster Cuttings Dryer
Duster Flush Pump
Duster Effluent Pump
Duster Active System Fluid Return Pump
5500 Centrifuge
Centrifuge Feed Pump
Agitator Tank
The relationship of the individual pieces of equipment in a typical rig-up is as
follows:
By utilization of a vacuum system, Clydes blower, or a screw conveyor, the drilled
cuttings are collected at the rig shakers and conveyed to the feed inlet of the Duster
Cuttings Dryer. This feed system will have at least one automatic bypass that will
allow the cuttings to be shunted overboard if an abnormal event occurs within the
system. The Duster removes most of the fluids attached to the cuttings along with
the fine solids and via the Duster effluent pump, pumps the solids laden drilling
fluid to the centrifuge feed side of the agitator tank. The solids are discharged via the
solids discharge hopper for proper disposal. The solids laden Duster effluent is
pumped via the centrifuge feed pump to the centrifuge. The centrifuge removes most
of the fine solids from the drilling fluid and returns the clean effluent to the clean
effluent side of the agitator tank. The clean drilling fluid is returned to the active
system via the active system return pump. Clean drilling fluid is also pumped to the
Duster to flush the feed hopper, effluent hopper, and clean the screen via the
Duster flush pump. This system is controlled from the Duster control panel and
the centrifuge control panel. A line diagram of a typical system is depicted in the
appendices titled Flow Schematic.
148
149
Initial Start Up:

Prior to starting the 5500 Centrifuge System ensures that:
The 5500 Centrifuge has been rigged-up as outlined in Section 6 Rig-Up, of
this manual. Furthermore, all preventive maintenance as outlined in Section
8 Maintenance, of this manual has been properly performed. Finally, there
is no obvious damage to the system such as a cut hose, leaking tank or
missing cover; and, the necessary air and water utilities to operate bypass
gates and flush water are fully on.
The 5500 Centrifuge System is operated via a Class One, Division One pressurized
control panel. This panel consists of a NEMA 7 explosion-proof power enclosure, a
pressurized stainless steel control enclosure and a 10 color human machine interface
unit (HMI display). Control of the operation is accomplished via the function keys
and programmable keys located on the display.
Ensure that the main power supplied by the rig to the NEMA 7 power enclosure has
been energized. Pull out the Emergency Stop Button located on the left side of the
control panel. This will start the pressurization fan located at the bottom of the
stainless steel control panel. Check that the rotation of the pressurization fan is
counter clockwise looking at the inlet end. If this rotation is not correct, de-energize
the panel following the lock out tag procedure used on the rig. Never work on an
energized control panel. Change the phase orientation at the main incoming power
terminal block located in the NEMA 7 power enclosure. With correct rotation the
control will pressurize and 60 seconds later the panel will be energized. When the
display is first energized it will display the home page (HH logo) similar to the one
depicted in the appendices titled Hutchison Hayes Logo.
The 5500 Centrifuge Control Panel has ten (10) pages that can be accessed via the
function keys. They are as follows:

Checking Rotation of Drives:

Prior to starting the 5500 Centrifuge System in the automatic mode, it is necessary to
check for proper rotation of the all the drives. This is done by manually starting the drives
one at a time, and verifying the correct rotation of each drive. If the rotation of a drive is
not correct, make a note of it to ensure that all the drives that need to be corrected will be
properly done at one time. Follow the lock out tag procedure used on the rig to deenergize the control panel before changing phases. Never open an energized control
panel.
150
To access Start up page, press R9 or R10 on the display. The screen should look similar
to the one depicted in the appendices titled Start Up .
The correct rotation of the Main Drive is counter-clockwise looking from the gearbox
end of the centrifuge. Check the rotation of the Main Drive by pressing R2 (Main Start)
on the display to manually start the Main Drive. Manually stop the Main Drive by
pressing R2 (Stop) on the display. If this rotation is not correct, make a note of this so the
phase orientation can be changed at terminals 1, 2, and 3 within terminal block TB1,
located in the bottom of the control panel, after the main incoming power supply from the
rig has be locked out and tagged out.
The correct rotation of the Back Drive is clockwise looking from the gearbox end of the
centrifuge. Check the rotation of the Back Drive by checking that the rotation is forward
if not it can be changed by pressing R6 then press R4 (Back Start Forward) on the display
to manually start the Back Drive in a forward direction. Manually stop the Back Drive
by pressing R4 (Stop) on the display. If this rotation is not correct, make a note of this so
the phase orientation can be changed at terminals 4, 5, and 6 within terminal block TB1,
located in the bottom of the control panel, after the main incoming power supply from the
rig has be locked out and tagged out.
The correct rotation of the Feed Pump Drive is counter-clockwise looking from the drive
end of the Pump. Check the rotation of the Feed Pump Drive by pressing R8 (Feed Start)
on the display to manually start the Feed Pump Drive. Manually stop the Feed Pump
Drive by pressing R8 (Stop) on the display. Never operate a dry Feed Pump for more
than a few seconds when checking rotation. If this rotation is not correct, make a note
of this so the phase orientation can be changed at terminals 7, 8, and 9 within terminal
block TB1, located in the bottom of the control panel, after the main incoming power
supply from the rig has be locked out and tagged out.
Operating Parameters:
The operating parameters are initially set by the PLC when the control panel is energized
to the following default settings:
Main Drive Torque Alert
Back Drive Torque Alert
Feed Pump Torque Alert
Main Drive Torque Alarm
Back Drive Torque Alarm
Feed Pump Torque Alarm
Vibration Alert

These parameters can be adjusted using the Operating Parameters screen accessed by pressing
R9 or R10. The screen should look similar to the one depicted in the appendices titled
Operating Parameters. These operating parameters are used by the PLC in calculating flow
rate and alarm/alert comparison levels. A detail explanation follows:
152
Main Drive Torque Alert: This is the torque level that causes a Main Drive torque alert.
Back Drive Torque Alert: This is the torque level that causes a Back Drive torque alert. When
this torque alert level is reached, the feed pump and back drive speeds will be manipulated in an
attempt to reduce the back drive torque below the alert level. Once the torque level has returned
to normal and remains below the torque alert level, the centrifuge will return to normal operation.
Feed Pump Torque Alert: This is the torque level that causes a Feed Pump Torque alert.
Main Drive Torque Alarm: This is the torque level that causes a Main Drive torque alarm.
When this torque alarm level is reached the Main Drive, Back Drive, and Feed Pump will shut
down.
Back Drive Torque Alarm: This is the torque level that causes a Back Drive torque alarm.
When this torque alarm level is reached the Back Drive, Main Drive, and Feed Pump will shut
down.
Feed Pump Torque Alarm: This is the torque level that causes a Feed Pump Torque alarm.
When this torque alarm level is reached the Feed Pump will shut down.
Vibration Alert: This is the level of vibration that causes a vibration alert. When this level of
vibration is reached the Centrifuge will continue to operate but the vibration status on the Main
Operation screen will show an alert.
Vibration Alarm: This is the level of vibration that causes a vibration alarm. When this vibration
level is reached the Centrifuge will shut down.
Feed Pump Gearbox Ratio: This is the ratio of the gearbox on the feed pump. It is used in a
mathematical equation to display gallons per minute, and set Feed Pump VFD parameters.
Feed Pump GPM per 100 Revolutions: This is the number of gallons displaced per minute for
100 revolutions of the pump. It is used in a mathematical equation to display gallons per minute,
and set Feed Pump VFD parameters.
Feed Pump Size (60 or 80): This is used to select the pump size that is being used. It will
automatically set Feed Pump Gearbox Ratio and Feed Pump GPM per. 100 Revolutions. For
special pumps gearbox ratios and GPM per 100 revolutions can be manually set.
T-3 Motor Configuration ( 0 = no 1 = yes ): This is used to select T-3 Motor Configuration if
applicable in the installation.
Tank Level Indication ( 0 = no 1 = yes ): This is used to select Tank Level Indication if
applicable in the installation.
Weigh Application ( 0 = no 1 = yes ): This is used to select Weigh Application if applicable in
the installation.
Automatic Operation:
153
The amount of system automation controlled by the Centrifuge panel is rig-up dependent,
i.e., pumps, by-pass valves, level detection, etc., but at the very least the Centrifuge panel
will provide for automatic operation of the Centrifuge. Automatic startup of the
Centrifuge is controlled via the Start Up page accessed by pressing R9 or R10. The
screen should look similar to the one depicted in the appendices titled Start Up.
Before attempting to operate the Centrifuge ensure that the system is purged with clean
drilling fluid or base oil, that the Duster is properly installed and ready to process, and
that all of the automated ancillary devices such as bypass vales and flush lines and pumps
are operating correctly.
Start up:
The two main operating variables of the Centrifuge are g force and differential. When
setting g force and differential keep in mind the following guidelines:
1. The minimum g force is 500 and the maximum g force is 2100 with a normal setting
between 1800 and 2100 gs.
2. The minimum differential is 20 and the maximum is 60. Generally the differential is
set according to the amount of solids in the fluid being processed. In large amounts of
solids, set the differential to 60. As the amount of solids in the fluid decreases you can
vary the differential to achieve the maximum separation. With respect to differential it is
always better to error on the high side. Running the Centrifuge with the differential set to
low can result in a shutdown from solids plugging up in the bowl.
Operation:
During operation, the Main Drive and Back Drive torque levels are an indication of the
load on the Centrifuge. During normal processing, the Main Drive torque will be
approximately 25 to 60 percent and the Back drive torque will be approximately 20 to 60
percent. Values greater than these are an indication of excessive loading or plugging of
the Centrifuge. If the torque exceeds the values input on the Operating Parameters page
in the field titled Back Drive Torque Alert then the Centrifuge will manipulate the feed
pump and back drive speeds in an attempt to reduce the Back Drive torque below the
alert level. If the torque continues to increase to a level that exceeds the values in the
fields Main Drive Torque Alarm or Back Drive Torque Alarm then the Centrifuge
will shutdown and sound an alarm.
Shutdown:
Press Shutdown is accomplished by pressing R3 Main Stop. Once the Centrifuge has
come to a complete stop and will be shut down for an extended time period, shut the
panel off by pressing the emergency stop button.
Alarm Pages:
154
Alarm pages will only be displayed when an alarm is present. When viewing an alarm
page read it completely because there is usually help information on the alarm page
155
Help Pages:
Help pages are accessible when the red light above the ? mark is lit. To access these
pages press the ? mark. The ? mark is located to the left of the keypad.
