Membrane Filter Elements
Status: 06/2001/01 Operating Manual 43
6.8 Automatic operation of the filter press
The actions described in Chapter 6.7 (Opening and unloading the filter press) also apply to
filter presses in automatic mode.
When using automatic mode, make sure that the filter cake is completely discharged.
Filter cake residue on the sealing edges or impurities accumulated over time necessarily
lead to deformation of the sealing edges.
Monitoring operation
To achieve the longest possible service life of the membrane filter elements and maximum
operating safety, we recommend continuously monitoring the main process parameters
and operating events and documenting them with the operating recorder or in system
journals.
This is the only way to make sure that negative changes can be detected and rectified
immediately, particularly in periods of reduced supervision.
Danger
• Filter cake residue or impurities on the sealing edges result in leakage between the
filter elements.
• Aggressive sludge flowing out between the filter elements under filtration pressure
can cause serious health damage.
