TROUBLESHOOTING DE-7200 VFD CENTRIFUGE
Possible Cause Isolation Procedure & Corrective Action
Failure Mode 3: Excessive Vibration
Excessive buildup of solids in
bowl and/or conveyor.
Perform cleanout procedure (refer to Preventive
Maintenance).
Bowl assembly main bearings
defective.
Replace rotating assembly (refer to Rotating Assembly
Maintenance).
Bowl assembly unbalanced
due to excessive wear or
deformed conveyor flights
Inspect conveyor flights through solid discharge openings
Replace rotating assembly if excessive flight wear or damage
is found.
Failure Mode 4: No Solid Discharge, Untreated Feed Material Exits Liquid Discharge Outlet
Buildup of solids between
flights; solids not being
transported to discharge but
are discharged with liquid
Shut down feed pump and bowl assembly drive motor, but keep
conveyor motor running and admit rinse water into machine. If
solids emerge before bowl fully stops, re-start centrifuge.
Open top cover, and insert hose into liquid and solids discharge
openings and flush bowl interior with water (preferably hot
water).
If flushing is unsuccessful in clearing the blockage, replace
rotating assembly (refer to Rotating Assembly Maintenance).
Failure Mode 5: High Power Consumption, Machine Clogged
Solids accumulated within case Open top cover, and thoroughly clean case interior, bowl
exterior, and solids discharge chute.
Failure Mode 6: Machine Clogged Upon Starting After a Brief Shutdown
Excessive solids volume in
feed due to sedimentation in
supply line
Perform cleanout procedure (refer to Preventive Maintenance).
Prevent future repetition by clearing feed line immediately after
shutting down machine.
Failure Mode 7: Machine Shutdown Due to Excessive Power Consumption During Startup
Discharge chute clogged Clear discharge chute of all accumulated solids.
Failure Mode 8: Excessively High Main Bearing Temperature
Insufficient lubrication Lubricate bearings (refer to Preventive Maintenance).
Excessive grease Remove grease fitting, and direct jet of filtered compressed air
to remove grease.
Failure Mode 8: Excessively High Main Bearing Temperature (Cont’d)
Incorrect grease Lubricate with recommended grease (refer to Preventive
Maintenance).
Defective bearings Replace rotating assembly (refer to Rotating Assembly
Maintenance).
