Troubleshooting Rotary Vacuum Disc Filters

Instance 1 – You are Experiencing Low Flow Levels and Wet Cake – While under vacuum, the cloth sector bag is sucked up against the solid sections of the sector. Where the cloth makes contact with the metal or plastic, no filtration is taking place. This can affect up to sixty percent of the cloth area. Backer cloths – made of polypropylene filaments in a honeycomb configuration – allow for the entire surface of the sector bag to filter slurry. The Micronics Engineered Filtration Group would be happy to provide a trial set of backer cloths for your Vacuum Filter Disc. Please contact us for assistance.

Instance 2 – You are Experiencing Production Loss & Thinner, Wetter Cake – A worn-out valve can cause timing issues, loss of vacuum, and even halt production. We provide standard replacement valves as well as abrasion-resistant valves.

Instance 3 – Machine Operators are Getting Injured While Changing Heavy Cast-iron Sectors – One of our teammates said the following, “I once dropped a cast iron sector on my foot while test-fitting a bag in our factory. Not only did I bruise my foot, but I had to catch the sector, nearly straining my lower back, before it fell on my coworker! That would not have been a problem had I been using one of our lightweight plastic sectors. These things are durable enough for the mining industry.”

Instance 4 – Are you Finding Sector Recovery To Be a Hassle? – Well, it doesn’t have to be your hassle! Box up your disc sectors, and ship them to the Micronics Engineered Filtration Group’s Winthrop, ME facility. We will strip off the old sector bag, put on the new cloth, and steam-shrink the bag onto the sector for a perfect fit. Micronics also has a field service crew that can do the job onsite.
