For our wide range of customers using box filter presses, while efficiency is a concern, the cost of use is often of greater interest. Proper operation or maintenance can lead to significant savings over the long term.
Firstly, there is a reduction in hydraulic oil consumption.
Hydraulic oil conservation primarily involves two aspects: 1. Leak prevention and 2. Contamination prevention. Firstly, we need to securely close the oil filling valve of the hydraulic system and block any direct contact channels with hydraulic oil. This helps minimize external contaminants from affecting the hydraulic oil, thereby potentially reducing the frequency of oil changes and saving on costs. In terms of the hydraulic system, as the hydraulic oil circulates, environmental factors and time can cause the system to gradually age and develop leaks. Therefore, we must regularly inspect seals and other areas, and immediately halt operations and repair any leaks to minimize their occurrence.
Next is the compartment filter press filter plate.
The filter plates of modern box filter presses are mostly made of polypropylene, and combined with the working environment of the equipment. Neglecting proper maintenance of the filter plates can result in significant costs associated with their replacement. As for the correct usage and maintenance of filter plates in filter presses, we have already discussed it previously and will not elaborate further here. It is important to note that we should not blindly pursue high pressure in filter presses; ensuring the equipment operates normally is sufficient. This can greatly reduce the likelihood of filter plate damage. Additionally, we must remind you that if any suspicious solid material is found at the edges of the filter plates during the operation of the filter press, it should be promptly cleaned up.
Then, it's about the filter cloth.
Filter cloth is one of the materials most prone to damage in box filter presses, accounting for a significant portion of their operational costs. Therefore, when using box filter presses, we should avoid moving or altering the filter cloth unnecessarily. Increasing the working opportunity for the filter cloth means an increased chance of it tearing, which also raises the cost of equipment operation. Additionally, it is advisable to minimize the entry of sharp objects into the filter press, which can greatly reduce the likelihood of filter cloth damage.
