The MIB 303 separator features a new design concept for solid-bowl separators. Advanced manufacturing, design and drive technologies have contributed to a separator more compact and lightweight than conventional solid-bowl models.     The MIB 303 separation system is designed for centrifugal separation of sludge and water from mineral oil. The separator is designed for oils with a maximum density of 920 kg/m3 at 15°C. The maximum separation temperature for gas oil and marine diesel oil is +40°C, and for lubricating oil +70°C, since this is the max. separation temperature for the separator.   • No lock ring. Requires only small mechanical force on opening/assembling of the bowl. • New design allows the bowl wall to be taken out and cleaned with the disc stack still in place. • New lightweight materials in bowl and discs. • Direct drive with motor speed controlled by a frequency converter eliminates gears or belts. • Requires no lubrication. • The cleaned oil is discharged under pressure, due to the built-in paring disc pump. • Frequency converter with built-in voltage protector.   • Easy to install, operate and maintain. No special training required. • Small dimensions allow installation in narrow spaces. • Removal of solid impurities extends intervals between filter replacements, which saves filter costs and reduces filter   disposal handling. • Removal of water from mineral oil improves the reliability of the oil system. It also reduces the risk of bacterial growth   in tanks that could clog the filters. • Electronics protected from voltage variations.   The MIB 303 separator is available as a purifier or a clarifier in stand-alone and module versions. There is also a choice between 230 V AC, 110 V AC and 24 V DC. In the module version the ancillary equipment mentioned above is built together with the separator to form a compact unit.
