Maintenance Before any maintenance or non-regular operation please read the following: Servicing the filter should be done only by technicians authorized by Amiad. Disconnect the filter from the power supply and lock the Main Power Switch. Disconnect the compressed air supply, release the residual pressure and lock the Pneumatics Main Valve.
DESCRIPTION AND FILTER OPERATION Filtering process The MCFM is an automatic, continuous, self-cleaning filter for high flow rates and high dirt loads driven by electrical control combined with pneumatic or hydraulic operation. The MCFM is designed to work with various types of screens in filtration degrees from 3000 to 15 micron, and is available in 4", 6", 8", 10"...
INSTALLATION Installation instructions 1. Select a convenient location for the installation of the filter where operation and maintenance will be optimum. A lifting auxiliary is recommended for installation. 2. Ensure that the distance between inlet and outlet flanges complies with the data sheet. 3.
PREVENTION OF REVERSE FLOW Fine screen collapse is caused by hydraulic pressure acting externally upon the screen. The hydraulic back pressure results from a differential pressure across the screen, where the external pressure is greater than the internal pressure. The process conditions leading to this screen failure have been identified through failure studies of actual installed filters.
ELECTRIC WIRING If the control board is not mounted on the MCFM, install the control board in a dry and protected place. Electrical power source preparation 1. Prepare a three-phase (R, S, T, N, G) power supply. The power source parameters are determined by the local main power network voltage and pump size.
START-UP AND FIRST OPERATION Prior to operation, completely understand controller settings. Make sure the electric wiring is correct, according to the enclosed drawings. Open the continuous flush valve completely. Open the booster pump vent valve to bleed air. Apply water to the filter. If inlet valve is installed, open valve. Open all manual valves on the outlet tubing system of the booster pump.
MAINTENANCE Schedule of inspections and preventive maintenance. The following schedule of inspections and preventive maintenance is based on continues filtration duty, and therefore should be used as a guideline only. It is recommended having a periodic inspection to see if there is no increase in grease leakage. This indicates wear of the bearings and they need to be replaced in order to prevent damage to the Rod Connection Type6 (Part No46) The user should compile his or her own schedule of maintenance and inspection based on experience gained from using the filter and learning its operation in service.
LUBRICATION Piston gear unit All units are supplied with oil filling, oil level and drain plugs. To fill the gear with oil remove the oil level and oil overflow plugs and fill through oil filling hole until lubricant overflows the oil level plug hole.
