There are many components of success. We provide you with them all.
Complete modular installations are becoming increasingly popular in industry. Westfalia Separator Engineering has recognised this trend. Since October 1999, it has been available to all customers who wish to take advantage of the modular design. As a subsidiary of Westfalia Separator, a company in the GEA Group, centrifuges represent the core of the modules. The operative companies of the Westfalia Separator Group feature the process technology know-how built up in the course of more than 100 years. Westfalia Separator Engineering integrates this knowledge in process modules and process lines. The company serves all areas of operation of mechanical separating technology. Whether for the mineral oil industry, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, the food industry or environmental technology, Westfalia Separator Engineering is an expert for production, processing and installation of process modules and complete processing lines in every one of these fields.

Georg Grothaus, Managing Director, Westfalia Separator Engineering

Every machine and every installation requires a control unit which is also an area covered by Westfalia Separator Engineering, namely automation of machines and installations. Again, centrifuges and their wide range of applications are the focal point of activities. And what would be more natural than to combine project planning and production of installations and related automation under one unit with overall responsibility.

Whether you require a simple motor control or wish to control and monitor your process with PC support, you will find a competent partner in Westfalia Separator Engineering. Westfalia Separator Engineering is equally pleased to provide its services to customers operating in the field of mechanical Plant construction separation technology as it is to serve custoAutomation mers with operations in other fields. Westfalia Separator Engineerings main competence is the installation of process modules or process lines together with state-of -theart control systems.

The best machine and the best installation is only half as good without an innovative control system. With CentriCon, the new programmable control facility, your machine or installation is fitted with a worthy companion. The latest generation of compact and inexpensive controls, developed for separators and decanters, provides you with stateof-the-art technology. The interactive system features a modular design as well as a wide range of practical functions such as automatic maintenance and control indication.

CentriCon
CentriCon controls your separator or decanter, the automatic valves and the connected pumps and regulating circuits. It activates partial or total ejections of the separator at regular intervals. The system features consistent modular design, and optional extensions can easily be added to the centrifuge or installation. The system is so flexible that almost all your wishes can be met.

When mechanical separating technology processes have been developed at Westfalia Separator, process control and visualisation has also been perfected for controlling and displaying details of these processes. Right from the very beginning, we have used commercially available hardware and software, which in certain cases have

Package units
Package units are a speciality of Westfalia Separator Engineering. Who is better able to integrate centrifuges in processes than the person who designs and builds the centrifuges? A package unit is a self-contained package, designed by specialists and built under optimum conditions in our own workshop. Irrespective of whether you wish to replace existing machines or expand your production, whether you wish to renew, modify or expand, you will obtain major advantages with a package unit. You continue to produce for as long as possible with your old machines. You modify or construct the building and, while your production is running and making money and while the building contractors are working in your buildings, Westfalia Separator Engineering plans and builds your customised new package unit for you. When you have completed your prelimi-

nary work, your new package unit is delivered and integrated in your production process with a minimum amount of disruption. You can use the new package unit for production very soon after. Time is money, and downtimes in your production cost unnecessary money. By means of parallel planning and production of the package unit for your activities, you are able to significantly reduce the time between the point at which you make the investment and the point at which the package unit is given over to production. The package unit is installed completely with all pipework on a frame, is equipped with all electrical and pneumatic connections, is tested and has gone through extensive test runs. At your request, the package unit is accepted and its reliable functioning is checked in the presence of your inspectors. In this way, you receive the best possible solution without imposing an unnecessary strain on your production.

Process lines
Are you planning a major investment? Do you wish to modernise or extend your process line? Westfalia Separator Engineering is again the right partner for your company. Combined with the process engineering know-how of the operative companies in the Westfalia Separator Group, you again receive an optimum solution in this case. Westfalia Separator Engineering plans the complete mechanical processing of your product on your behalf, completes all the necessary documents which you require for building planning, obtains all necessary equipment, fittings and measuring instruments, produces installation and pipework documents, installs and also commissions the complete plant under its own responsibility. The necessary control facilities are of course also planned and built, with the degree of automation which you require. The knowledge and commitment of the Westfalia Separator Group is available to you for this purpose. Irrespective of where you wish to invest, we can comply with your requirements anywhere in the world.

demanding during the past decade. The rapid development of sterile process engineering, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry, and the more stringent requirements in the food industry have been and still are a permanent challenge facing welding engineering and welders. Employees of Westfalia Separator Engineering have taken on this challenge and offer you welding technology in the quality you require now and in the future. The emphasis on the one hand is on the skills of our employees, who of course are all appropriately certified and who carry out welding work in accordance with AD procedures and DIN and also in accordance with ASME. We use orbital welding technology for the most demanding work. Westfalia Separator Engineering has several welding machines with closed weld guns. The company naturally also has the necessary equipment for checking the quality of the weld seams. We have our own tools and equipment for performing visual checks with an endoscope, also with photographic documentation, ferrite content measurement, X-ray testing, dye penetration testing (DPT), magnetic powder indication (MPI). Westfalia Separator has its own materials laboratory, which means that it can also perform destructive tests.
