Precoating Of New Filter Cartridges - Teka FilterCube 4-IFA Operating Instructions Manual

7.6. Precoating of new filter cartridges

Before the first commissioning new filter cartridges can be pre-treat with precoat consumable. The
precoat consumable assists against a "caking" of extracted particles on the filter surface and thus
prolongs the life of the new filter cartridge
Unlike with other maintenance work, this step must be carried out with the system switched on and
operating. This is necessary to allow the filter aid to disperse on the surface of the filter cartridges
through suction.
CAUTION
On contact the precoat consumable can be hazardous to the
respiratory tract and cause skin irritation or eye irritation.
Observe the listed manufacturer instructions provided:

CAUTION
During operation of the device an automatic cleaning can take place. This involves the
risk of a sudden jet of high-pressure air and excessive dust formation at the point of
entry of the filter aid.
At first make sure that there is no compressed air in the compressed air tank. Please refer to
the chapter "Reset to factory settings". Before switching the device back on, disconnect the
compressed air hose from the device.
● Provide sufficient filter aid. We recommend using 10 grams for each square metre of the filter
surface. The filter aid is available at TEKA (see list of spare parts).
● Choose the capture point in the suction pipe that is the closest to the filter cartridges. E.g. an
inspection flap can be used as a capture point.
Electrical short-circuit due to LED lighting possible. If the extraction cowl of a
suction arm is chosen as an extraction point then this extraction cowl may only be used
if it is not equipped with LED lighting. Otherwise, the filter aid must not be extracted via
the extraction cowl but, for example, via the hose of the suction arm by disconnecting
this from the extraction cowl for this period.
● Switch the device on.
● Let the filter aid bit by bit be sucked in via the capture point.
