SECTION 700
Maintenance
The mist collector can operate for long periods without maintenance. The maintenance period will depend on
the type of oil and solids or chips in the air stream. Some soluble oil and synthetic concentrates will congeal,
reducing the airflow, requiring the filter media to be manually cleaned / washed.
Inspect the unit after 3 months, 6 months and 1 year of operation to establish the maintenance interval. If there
is no fouling, the mist separator can run with minimal maintenance.
Filter Cleaning and Change-out
1. While the unit is operating, record the Static Pressure as displayed on the Minihelic gauge, record this
information.
2. Turn off the system (Blower motor only!).
3. Turn off the main power disconnect.
4. Open large filter access door. This gives you access to the Packbed filter.
5. Remove the Packbed Filter from the Collector using RoboVent's SnapLock filter load system. Simply release
the SnapLock mechanism by pulling the handles forward from the locked position, lowering the Filter
Packbed, and slide the filter out.
6. Place the new Packbed Filter into the Collector. Simply slide the new filter onto the SnapLock rails and move
the lift mechanism back into the locked position. Based on the size of the Packbed Filter, two people may be
required to lift the new filter into position and, in some cases, a forktruck may be used. Ensure the filter is
positioned square and true when it is in the up and locked position, to give proper compression and seal on
the filter gasket.
7. Close and secure the filter access door.
8. Verify there is fluid present fluid air trap loop in the drain hoses. (for further detail refer to Section 400 –
Installation)
9. Turn on the main power disconnect.
10. Record the Static Pressure (with the unit operating) as displayed by the Minihelic gauge, with the filters now
replaced, new and clean. Calculate and record the difference from the reading taken in step 1.
