1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Check conformance with safety instructions prior to each start-up!

1. In addition to the specific instructions contained in this document, general machinery operating
rules and precautions must be followed!

2. Safety related signs are marked on the product as necessary. These signs and stickers are
important for personal safety, so do not remove them!

3. Do not operate the machine before replacing/installing all safety and protection related
parts/covers!

4. Make sure you understand the general functioning principle of the machine before operation!

5. Put on relatively snug operational outfit when operating the machine. Loose outfits and long
sleeves can get caught by the moving parts during operation and servicing.

6. Slurry can emit flammable gases under certain conditions; so avoid smoking or carrying open fire
near the machine!

7. Machine should be installed at a properly ventilated area. Avoid spending long periods of time in
poorly ventilated areas around the slurry!

Maintenance

1. Never perform any maintenance, service or cleaning before fully stopping the machine and the
other system components.

2. Always check and verify that the bolts/nuts on the machine are securely tightened.

3. Always wear work gloves when handling sharp and metal objects during maintenace.

4. Always observe local regulations when disposing of lubricants/grease, etc.

5. Never work on the control panel and/or electrical connections without fully cutting off the power
first.

6. Only manufacturer approved spare parts must be used for repairs and replacements.

2 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

“SP SERIES” USER MANUAL

Page 8 / 34

2.1 Working with slurry

WARNING !

Slurry can emit flammable and nauseus gase

s

. Always ensure that

there is proper ventilation in the operation area.

2.2 Proper Usage

EYS screw press separator is designed to separate solid and liquid phases of fiber-rich waste materials.
The waste should be free of sand, as well as other foreign objects such as metal, glass, wood, etc. that
have the potential of damaging the internal parts of the separator.

3 OPERATION PRINCIPLE

Slurry can be fed into the EYS Separator either by a pump or gravimetrically through a hopper at the
inlet. The auger inside the separator moves the slurry forward from the inlet section towards the solids
discharge outlet. During this travel of the slurry, the cylindrical screen around the auger continously
dewaters the liquid fraction of the slurry and channels it out through the liquid discharge outlet.
Meanwhile the dewatered solids form into a firm plug as they get closer to the discharge area. At the
solids discharge outlet, there are two hinged doors that apply constant pressure to the solid plug by
means of counterweights attached to the arms that regulate the angle of these doors. As the auger
furthers the solid plug forward, the plug overcomes the backpressure applied by the discharge doors
and exits the machine from the discharge outlet.

2. Auger

3. Screen

4. Solid plug

5. Separated solids discharge

6. Separated liquid discharge

Operational efficiency of the separator (throughput and dryness of solids) is greatly affected by the
slurry consistency. Therefore performance results may vary depending on what kind of slurry is being
dewatered. Following principles should be kept in mind when optimizing performance.

• Separation efficiency is typically increased when a larger screen slot-size is used. This in turn
will result in more solid particles to escape into the separated liquid phase.

• Smaller screen slot-size typically results in less solids percentage in the separated liquid phase.
However throuhput will be lower with smaller screen slot-sizes.

• Moisture content of the separated solids is typically reduced with increased back-pressure at
the discharge doors.

4.2 Handling

The machine must be handled and lifted with a safe and proper method as required by the specific
circumstances of the installation location. A suitable crane and/or forklift must be utilized. Please
refer to the above figure for proper lifting arrangements by forklift or crane.

WARNING !

A properly chosen forklift can be used for transferring and/or lifting of the

separator to short distances or heights. Use the specifically designed forklift
openings on the legs of the separator. Make sure that the forks of the forklift
are fully through these openings on both legs. A crane should be employed
when lifting the separator to higher locations (such as while installing on an
elevated platform). When lifting with a crane, use two slings of 3m length and
1ton lifting capacity each, together with proper shackles. Apply the slings as
shown in the above figure. Never lift with chain or steel cable. These lifting
procedures must be followed not only for initial installation but for subsequent
liftings also, whenever necessary.

4.4 Set-up and Installation

ATTENTION !

Separato

r should be installed at a reasonable height to allow separated solids

to accumulate easily underneath. Otherwise the separator may become buried
under accumulated solids.
The separated liquid fraction will be drained to a separate lagoon (other than
the slurry pit where the separator is being fed from) gravimetrically. Therefore
this lagoon should be planned close to the separation system in order to allow
for easy drainage of the liquid.

Follow the below steps for setting up the separator:

“SP SERIES” USER MANUAL

Page 11 / 34

• Mount the F-Pipe to the inlet pipe of the separator.

• Mount the pump outlet pipe to the 6” upper inlet of the F-Pipe using the quick coupling

connectors.

• Mount a 6” over-flow pipe to the lower branch of the F-Pipe using the quick coupling connectors.
This overflow line will go directly back to the slurry pit where the pump is.

• Connect the 1,5” air-vent pipe to the over-flow line. This line will prevent a possible vaccum effect
on the over-flow line. This air-vent pipe should extend at least 1m above the upper branch of the
F-Pipe (pump line). Make sure that the valve on the air-vent pipe is free and open.

• Mount a 6” pipe to the liquid discharge outlet of the separator. This pipe will extend to the
separated liquid lagoon. The layout of this pipe should not cause dips along the path, which would
prevent the liquid to drain completely and may cause freeze-ups in the pipe.

• All electric work and connections must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

ATTENTION!

Overflow and separated liquid drainage lines must extend in a linear fashion to allow

easy flow of the slurry. Overflow line must not be submerged into the slurry pit,
otherwise it might creaate siphoning effect and divert all slurry flow from the pump
back into the same pit through the overflow line.

ATTENTION !

If the pump feeding the separator is not an EYS pump, then a suitable pump must be

used to supply the minimum flow rates as per the below table. Otherwise the
