13.5 Cleaning the wire cloth elements
•
Only wire cloth elements can be cleaned.
Disposable elements (MIC, SMX, PS) must
be replaced.
•
After starting up the unit, check that all
sealing points are tight.
•
Defective seals must be replaced.
•
The system can never be cleaned one
hundred percent. The service life of the
filter elements is gradually shortened.
Ultrasonic cleaning
•
Immerse dirty elements upright in an ultrasonic bath for
approximately 90 to 120 minutes (turn over if
necessary).
•
Rinse the filter element in clean cleaning solution (e.g.
naphtha).
•
Carefully blow out the filter element with compressed air
from the clean side to the outside.
Manual cleaning
Required for filter ratings coarser than 40 µm.
•
Remove coarse, external impurities with a brush dipped
in cleaning solution (e.g. naphtha).
•
Leave the filter element to stand for approximately 20
minutes in clean cleaning solution.
•
Then rinse it with cleaning solution from the clean side
to the outside.
•
Carefully blow out the filter element with compressed air
from the clean side to the outside.
