Reconditioning Process (General Steps)

While the exact procedure might differ depending on the service provider, reconditioning an MAB 103 separator typically involves these steps:

1. Disassembly: The technician will disassemble the separator, meticulously following the manufacturer's instructions. Exclamation This involves removing various components like the bowl, frame hood, and drive shaft.
2. Inspection and Cleaning: Each component will be thoroughly inspected for wear and tear, cracks, or any other damage. Damaged parts may need replacement. All parts will be meticulously cleaned to remove oil residue and contaminants.
3. Repairs and Replacements: Worn-out parts like bearings, seals, or gaskets will be replaced with genuine Alfa Laval parts.
4. Reassembly and Balancing: The technician will carefully reassemble the separator, ensuring everything is in its proper place and torqued to the recommended specifications. exclamation The reassembled unit will then undergo a balancing procedure to ensure smooth operation with minimal vibration.
5. Testing and Documentation: Finally, the reconditioned separator will be test-run to verify its functionality and performance. The service provider will likely provide a report documenting the reconditioning process and any parts replaced.

Safety Precautions

Reconditioning an MAB 103 separator can involve handling heavy components and potentially hazardous materials. It's crucial to prioritize safety by following proper procedures and using the recommended tools and personal protective equipment (PPE).

For safe and reliable reconditioning, contacting an authorized Alfa Laval service center or a qualified centrifuge technician is recommended.

The machine in the image is actually an Alfa Laval MAB 103 oil purifier, not a water pump. It is a high-speed disc stack centrifuge. It contains a self-cleaning bowl for solid-liquid separation, which is essential in many mechanical separation processes. The rotational speed of the MAB 103 oil separator is much higher than that of other centrifugal oil separators. This allows it to separate even mixtures of two or more liquids with a minimal difference in density.

Alfa Laval MAB 103 oil purifier

The MAB 103 is widely used for purifying and clarifying mineral oils, low viscosity fuel oils (GO/MDO, MDO), engine oils, factory oils, and cleaning lubricating oils. It can also be used for synthetic oils in industrial applications. The Alfa Laval MAB 103 separator's rated capacity is 1,300 liters/hour (343 gallons/hour). For diesel oil (viscosity 13 cSt/40°C), a maximum capacity of 900 liters/hour (238 gallons/hour) is achievable.
