Polyamide gaskets<br />
(the main seals of the bowl)<br />
These gaskets are manufactured by<br />
a specifically developed production<br />
process and are chosen according to<br />
the field of application, the operating<br />
conditions and the product to be<br />
separated. Steady testing and decades<br />
of experience ensure long service.<br />
Gearbox and drive components<br />
Due to the particularly high<br />
transmission ratios of the worm<br />
wheel gearing, <strong>GEA</strong> <strong>Westfalia</strong><br />
<strong>Separator</strong> specializes in the required<br />
calculations and has established its<br />
own production techniques. The<br />
necessary tolerances for the bearing<br />
seats, the geometry of the worm<br />
spindle and the matching of materials<br />
are also designed for the specific<br />
application and the heavy loads they<br />
will encounter in use.<br />
Clutch driver, clutch pulley<br />
Because of the way clutch drivers are<br />
designed, high tangential stresses<br />
occur during operation. These<br />
stresses can be managed by the use<br />
of properly matched materials and<br />
designing the fine tolerances that<br />
are required. Special stress tests are<br />
conducted to determine the fatigue<br />
limit of all components. This also<br />
applies to the clutch driver which<br />
is made of material that has exactly<br />
the right friction ratio with the<br />
clutch shoe.<br />
