Analysis and Solution of Common Faults in Plate and Frame Filter Press
The filter plate of the plate and frame filter press is loose and even leaks oil
Fault analysis:
The hydraulic system of the plate and frame filter press mainly provides pressure. When the oil chamber A is filled with more oil, the piston moves to the left, compressing the filter plate to make it sealed. When the amount of oil injected into chamber B increases, the piston moves to the right and the filter plate of the filter press is released. Due to the precision of manufacturing, the hydraulic system of the filter press has fewer malfunctions. As long as attention is paid to daily maintenance, it is sufficient. Due to wear and tear, oil leakage occurs every year or so, and it is necessary to repair and replace the O-ring seal.
Solution:
Common hydraulic faults in filter presses include inability to maintain pressure and improper hydraulic cylinder propulsion. The main reasons for the inability to maintain pressure include oil leakage, O-ring wear, and abnormal operation of the solenoid valve. Common solutions include removing and inspecting the valve, replacing the O-ring, cleaning and inspecting the solenoid valve, or replacing the solenoid valve.

The improper propulsion of the hydraulic cylinder of the filter press is obviously due to air being sealed inside. At this time, as long as the system extracts air, it can be quickly resolved.



The filter plate of the frame filter press moves slowly or even deviates and falls off
Fault analysis:
Sometimes, excessive oil and dirt stains on the guide rod can cause the filter plate of the plate and frame filter press to move slowly, and even deviate and fall off.
Solution:
At this point, it is necessary to clean the guide rod in a timely manner and apply butter to ensure its lubrication.
One thing to note is that it is strictly prohibited to apply thin oil on the guide rod, as thin oil can easily fall off and make the bottom very slippery. Personnel operating and repairing here are prone to falling, causing personal injury accidents.

The filter plate of the frame filter press has grooves
Fault analysis:
After using the filter plate of the filter press for several years, for some reason, some grooves were washed out at the corners. Once a groove appears, it will rapidly expand until it affects the formation of the filter cake. At first, the filter cake becomes soft, then becomes semi muddy, and finally the filter cake cannot be formed. Due to the special material of the filter plate in the filter press, it is difficult to repair and can only be replaced with a new one, resulting in high spare parts costs. During this period, we tried some repair agents, but the results have not been good. Recently, when we switched to oil surface repair agents, the situation finally turned around and the trial effect was very good, achieving a sealing effect.
Solution:
1. Clean the groove to remove fresh surface, which can be cleaned with a small saw blade or other tools.
2. Mix black and white repair agents in a 1:1 ratio.
3. Apply the prepared repair agent to the groove and apply it slightly higher.
4. Quickly fit the filter cloth of the filter press, squeeze the filter plates together, make the repair agent and filter cloth stick together, and flatten the grooves.

5. After squeezing for a period of time, the adhesive naturally forms and no longer changes, and can now be used normally.


Uneven or incomplete formation of filter cake in plate and frame filter press
Fault analysis:
There are many reasons for the uneven or uneven shape of the filter cake in the plate and frame filter press, such as insufficient or too thin feed, or blockage. For these faults, it is necessary to carefully investigate the causes, ultimately find the exact problem, and then apply targeted treatment to solve the problem.
Solution:
The main solutions include increasing the supply, adjusting the process, improving the supply, cleaning or replacing the filter cloth of the filter press, cleaning blockages, cleaning the supply hole, cleaning the drainage hole, cleaning or replacing the filter cloth of the filter press, increasing pressure or pump power, starting at low pressure, and continuously increasing pressure.

The frame of the filter press is damaged
Fault analysis:
The reasons for the damage of the filter press plate itself are:
1. When the filter plate of the filter press is not cleaned thoroughly, sometimes it can cause the medium to leak out. Once it leaks out, small grooves will be washed out at the edge of the plate frame, and a large amount of medium leakage will cause the pressure to not rise and the mud cake cannot be formed.
2. If the outlet is blocked by solid or if the supply or outlet valve is closed during startup, there is no place for pressure to leak out, resulting in damage.
3. When the supply is insufficient or contains unsuitable solid particles, it can also cause excessive force on the frame itself, leading to damage.
4. When the sludge is too thick or dry blocks are left behind, it will cause blockage of the feeding port. At this time, there is no medium between the filter plates of the filter press, only the pressure of the hydraulic system itself is left. At this time, the plate itself is easily damaged due to long-term compression.
Corresponding solution:
1. Use a nylon cleaning scraper to remove mud from the feed port.
2. Complete this cycle and reduce the volume of the filter plate in the filter press.
3. Check the filter cloth of the filter press, clean the drainage outlet, check the outlet, open the corresponding valve, and release the pressure.
4. Carefully clean the filter plate and repair the filter plate of the filter press.

Water seepage between the plate and frame of the plate and frame filter press
Fault analysis:
The causes of water seepage between panels and frames
1. The hydraulic pressure of the plate and frame filter press is low.
2. The plate and frame filter press has wrinkles and holes on the filter cloth.
3. There are blocky substances on the sealing surface of the plate and frame filter press.
Solution:
The treatment method for water seepage between the plate and frame of the plate and frame filter press is relatively simple. Simply increase the hydraulic pressure, replace the filter cloth, or use a nylon scraper to remove the blocky substances on the sealing surface.
