EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN
Two options are available to stop the centrifuge in an emergency: Electric power shutdown or
mechanical shutdown. The type of emergency dictates the shutdown method. If emergency is
electricity related, power must be shut down immediately. However, if the emergency requires the
fastest possible means of stopping the bowl, the alternative mechanical shutdown procedure
should be used to bring the bowl to a stop more quickly.
Electric Power Shutdown
1. Immediately interrupt power by pressing the EMERGENCY STOP button on the control
cabinet or centrifuge. The bowl will then coast to a stop, which may take more than 15
minutes.
Pressing EMERGENCY STOP immediately removes power from the bowl,
conveyor, and pump motors, allowing the bowl to coast to a stop. This may
take more than 15 minutes depending on the bowl
speed and amount of
.
2. Open the fused disconnect supplying electric power to the machine.
Mechanical Shutdown
The fastest method to stop the bowl is to click on STOP on the Operation screen or display the
Bowl VFD screen and click on Bowl Is Coasting, as shown in Figure 4-22, below. The bowl will
then be brought to a controlled stop by the bowl VFD. If a fault is present, the screen will display
the message Bowl Is Coasting; Fault Present. In this case, the fault must be cleared before VFD
control can be selected.

If a fault is present, controlled stoppage of the bowl motor is not possible
until the fault is cleared.
