Checking:
• Check the lateral and height offset of the filter elements to each other.
- Differences of up to 5 mm are permitted.
- The fixed head piece and movable pressure/end piece of the filter press completely
support the head and tail (end) filter elements.
Warning
• An impermissible offset and insufficient support of the filter elements lead to
chamber leakage.
• Insufficient power transmission on the surface also results in damage to the filter
elements.
• Personal injuries and property damage are at risk.
