USE AND CARE OF FILTER ELEMENTS AND SPOKED PAN (SES MODEL MACHINE)
Barrett SES type machines are equipped with special pans and filter elements that maximize
the efficiency of the liquid extraction. The spokes on the pan create a path for liquid to
escape. The polypropylene or cotton filter elements retain the sludge in the pan.
1. Placement of Filter Cloth
a. The bottom disc element is the smallest circular filter element. It has a steel ring
located in a hem on its outside diameter. This ring should fit snugly under the tabs
welded on the bottom mesh liner. The inner diameter of this filter will be held with
a clamping ring.
The tabs at the base of the spindle post will hold the clamping washer in place and
prevent the filter cloth wire mesh liner from falling out when the pan is dumped.
b. The side/top filter, the largest of the filters is a rectangular filter cloth with a steel
ring through a hem separating the side and top filters. The ring purposely bisects
the cloth allowing one side to drape outside the pan, and the other inside the pan.
The ring is held in place with several tabs which prevent the filter from falling out
when the pan is dumped. After the pan has been filled with sludge, the filter cloth
draped outside of the pan must be folded up and over the sludge before the cover
is placed on the pan.
