Operation Insert the filter cartridges one after the other, according to their labeling, on the bottom guide rods . Pay attention to the alignment (up / down) of the filter cartridges (see operating instructions for the filter cartridges) . Push the filter cartridges towards each other until there is no longer any free space between them .
Operation 5.3.2 Observing the Permissible Stroke of the Hydraulic Cylinder Depending on the number of filter cartridges used, there is a risk that the hydraulic cylinder must be moved so far out for tensioning that the maximum permissible stroke of the hydraulic cylinder is exceeded and the filter cartridges cannot be tensioned sufficiently .
Operation Check the pressure gauge display (2) when compressing the filter cartridge in order to ensure that the applied tensioning force does not exceed the permissible value . Slowly pump the lever (1) on the hydraulic pump (approx . 1 stroke every 2 seconds) to build up the required pressure .
Malfunctions 6 Malfunctions Problem Cause Correction Chapter, page The filter holder is not The tensioning pressure is Check the pressure gauge display . 5 .3 .3, 21 insufficient . leaktight . If required: Increase the inlet pressure . Observe the tensioning force (kN) of the inserted Operating instructions filter cartridge .
Cleaning 7 Cleaning Regular cleaning is essential . Operational reliability depends, in addition to several other factors, also on proper cleaning . Cleaning intervals largely depend on the stress placed on the equipment by aggressive components contained in the media (e .g . acids and bases used to regulate pH) and the level of contamination from culture and metabolic product residues attached to this equipment .
