Die OTA/OTB-Serie war Westfalias Standard-Marine-Separator der 1970er und 1980er Jahre. OTA-Modelle hatten manuellen Discharge, OTB-Modelle halbautomatischen. Weit verbreitet auf deutschen Schiffen dieser Ära. Durch die OSD-Serie und später die OSC-Serie abgelöst. Auf alten Bulkern und Kümos vereinzelt noch im Betrieb, aber Ersatzteilversorgung praktisch nur über den Gebrauchtmarkt.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
