Safety
When operating a filter, it is extremely important that safety is always taken into account since filters include
systems operating at high pressures, high voltages and high temperatures. Automated moving parts can also be
hazardous. The following is a short introduction to safety when operating Outotec Larox filters.
- Never start any maintenance or repair work whilst the filter is being operated.
- Never open the filter protection doors whilst the filter is being operated.
- Before starting the filter, make sure that there are no foreign objects between the filter plates.
- Make sure that the pressure pipelines are not damaged to avoid the danger of spraying high pressure oil
and slurry.
- Notice that the force inside the plate pack is 960 tons (equal to pressure of 16 bars over an area of six
square meters.)
- Be aware of all moving and rotating parts, such as cloth, plate pack and rollers.
- Personal protection equipment must be worn at all times: a hard hat, goggles, overalls with long sleeves
and high cut steel toe shoes.
- Be careful when working at heights. The surface of a filter can be slippery and you could fall. Be careful
also that nothing falls.Always use service platforms and safety harnesses.
- The dry cloth must be moisten before starting to run it. There is a DANGER OF EXPLOSION due to
static charging in same space with any hazardous gases, dust or any other explosively sensitive
materials.
- Never bypass the sensors or other control components. This may result in improper operation and a
safety risk.
- Be sure that electrification cables are not damaged. Damaged cables may cause a safety risk due to
dangerous voltages or faulty filter operation.
Before maintenance:
 Stop the filter at the end of the cycle, lock the plate pack, close the manual valves, and switch
off the electricity from the main switch S700. Use the local Lockout - Tagout procedure to make
the disconnection for electricity, hydraulics, pneumatics and liquids.
 Only persons with sufficient skills to perform electrical installations should open the control
panel/terminal boxes due to dangerous voltages inside the cabins/boxes.
 When performing plate pack maintenance at the top of the filter, drive the plate pack to its open
position and lock the top pressing plate to the columns with locking pins.
 Only properly qualified and trained persons who are familiar with the functions of the filter may
carry out filter maintenance tasks.
 Check the plate pack suspension plates after any maintenance work with the plate pack.
Follow your local safety instructions at all times.
- Always use the appropriate tools only.
Remember that when the handheld test unit is removed from the bracket and activated, the filter can
only be operated through this unit. The handheld unit can be used for testing the actuators and other
functions allowing for maintenance and adjustments tasks. Before operating the filter with the handheld
unit, remember to ensure that no one is within the danger zones.
- Emergency-Stop switches are situated: on the control panel and on the side of the cloth conveyor unit
casing, hydraulic unit and handheld unit. Also, opening the filter protection doors activates the
emergency-stop circuit. Emergency-Stop switches stop the filter immediately.
- Before opening any pressurized line, process line of hydraulic line, ensure that the pressure has been
fully released.
- It is absolutely forbidden to use the filter and its automatic devices in the manufacturing process if any
fault has appeared.
- Good housekeeping and maintenance prevents accidents.
- Follow the instructions of Manual.
For more information about safety regulation, see instructions in the Manual.
Should you feel uncertain in any situation, please do not hesitate to contact your nearest Outotec Service office.
Daily Tasks
Some regular tasks are necessary to keep the filter in the best possible condition. Good daily care improves filter
performance and product quality.
- At the beginning of the shift check the filtration parameters and the recipe in use.
- Check that cake and any foreign objects are removed from between the filter plates and from the filter
cloth.
- Check the filter cloth for holes and folds, as well as cloth tracking.
- Observe filter functions during the first couple of filtration cycles from the user interface. Check the
filtration results and that the set values are being realized.
- Ensure that auxiliary equipment is operating correctly and providing the required utilization.
- Check that the cake thickness is even in all the plates. If it is not, there could be a blockage in the feed
line.
- Keep the filter clean; scrapers, rollers and plates. A dirty filter equals unreliable and poor performance
and a short lifetime for consumables.
- For the best results, wash the entire filter at the end of the shift.
- Check for leakages
o In the process (plate pack, slurry and filtrate lines)
o In the hydraulics (oil leakages)
- For more information about daily maintenance, see instructions in the Manual.
- The reliable operation and long life of the Outotec Larox PF filter largely depends on the proper
care and on following the operation and maintenance instructions.
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance maximizes the utilization of the filter and guarantees constant output. With preventive
maintenance you can optimize your total cost per ton produced. Ensure that an adequate stock of spare parts is
always available.
Note: These preventive maintenance instructions represent minimum guidelines and should not replace your
specified preventive maintenance plan.
Weekly Maintenance:
- Visually inspect scraper adjustment for optimum cloth performance, cleaning and tracking.
- Check that the emergency stop functions. This is vital for your personal safety.
- Adjust the sensors for trouble free operation.
- Check the hydraulic oil temperature and that the hydraulics operate smoothly without pressure shocks.
o For more information, see instructions in the Manual.
- Observe the condition of the slide pieces for optimum cloth tracking.
- Grease the bearings.
- Inspect the condition of the distribution pipelines and hoses, as well as their connections, for wear and
tear.
- Follow your weekly maintenance plan.
Monthly Maintenance:
- Inspect the filter plates, seals and diaphragms. Filter plates should be straight, seals and diaphragms
should be leak proof.
- Check that the filter plates are straight and in line.
- Check
o The hydraulic hoses
o The hydraulic cylinders and fixtures
o The operation of locking pins
o The chains and sprockets
o The seam thread of the filter cloth
- Follow your monthly maintenance plan.
Three times per year Maintenance:
- Analyze the quality of the hydraulic oil.

o Change or fine filtrate the oil if necessary.
o Oil impurities are the most common reason for faults in the hydraulic system.
o For more information about hydraulic systems, see instructions in the Manual.
- Follow your three times per year maintenance plan.
Optimization
These optimization instructions are only guidelines and possibilities. Actual optimization depends on
the special nature of your application. The following instructions offer an idea of how to find the optimum
filtration parameters for your own application.

Optimizing a filtration system is not just about optimizing the filter itself. Filter performance depends highly on
previous steps in the process. Also, the following process may limit the performance of the filter. Therefore, all
three areas should be considered in terms of optimization.
- Optimization of upstream process:

o Variations in solids and liquid properties
o Variations in flocculants/ crystallization/ precipitation
o Variations in slurry thickening/ mixing
o Filtration conditions:
 Slurry properties (temperature, d.s. content, psd, pH, viscosity, etc.)
 Wash liquid properties (pH, conductivity, viscosity, etc.)
o Temperature variation
o Stabilize the process part that affects particles
- Optimization of the filter and auxiliaries
o Filtration parameters and mechanical operation of the filter
o Cake discharge
o Cloth washing (proper washing against blinding)
o Filtration variables (times, pressures, flows, weights/volumes, temperatures, etc.)
 Slurry feeding (capacity, feeding profile)
 Pressings (cake moisture)
 Cake washing (wash results, way of washing)
 Air drying (cake moisture, way of drying)
o Filter auxiliaries operations:
 Slurry pump (ramping for optimum cake forming)
 Air compressor and receivers (enough air for proper drying)
 Pressing air/water station
- Optimization of downstream process
o The best possible ways to handle process products for further processes
o Optimizing the cake moisture suitable for downstream process equipment (cake breaker,
extruder, conveyers, track fortation, etc.)

3. Solid washing (optional)
Wash liquid is pumped into the filter chambers in the

same way as slurry. As the liquid fills the filtration
chamber, the diaphragm is lifted and air/water is
forced out from the upper side of the diaphragm. The
wash liquid flows into the discharge pipes after
passing through the filter cake and the cloth, and
replaces the mother liquid.

DANGER
Hazardous moving parts. The plate pack consists of several

moving parts, which can cause serious injury or death. Never
touch the plate pack during operation
WARNING
High-pressure liquid injection hazard. Compressed liquid can

cause death or serious injury.
As a result of seal damage or foreign objects between the
plate pack, liquid squirts are possible. When the pack is
closed, always be careful.
3.2.1. Plate Pack
The filter plate consists of three main parts: the filtrate chamber (1), base plate (2) and
frame (3).
Note that all feed channels must be open to ensure that both sides of the plate are under
equal pressure during all operation stages. Otherwise the plate bends and causes leakages
in the plate pack and damage the filter cloth.

Filtrate chamber (1)
The filtrate chamber collects the filtrate and leads it out through the collectors attached to
the corners of the chamber.
Bottom plate (2)
The bottom plate is a frame part in which all parts of the filter plate are attached. The
pressing air channel is led through the bottom plate. The bottom plate and diaphragm form
the pressing air chamber.
Frame (3)
The frame works as a fixing element for the diaphragm. The plate pack seal is fixed to the
lower surface of the frame. The feed channels leading into the filtration chamber have been
led through the frame.
Grid (4)
The grid supports the cloth and forms an outlet for the filtrate.
Diaphragm (5)
The rubber diaphragm acts as a pressing element. The cake is pressed against the filter
cloth and the grid by means of pressurized air. As a result of the pressure, the liquid is
removed from the cake through the filter cloth into the filtrate chamber.
Pressure may rise above 16 bar, but as far as the durability of the diaphragm is concerned,
it’s much more recommendable to start with a pressure of 8 bar. And when the pressure is
rising, the effect of the pressure rise on the pressing time and the residual moisture should
be observed. In this way the most suitable pressure for each process and slurry can be
determined.
In temperatures above + 60 °C, a strong aging phenomenon affects to rubber. If the slurry
to be filtered is hotter than + 60 °C, pay special attention to the temperature and follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Observe the condition of the diaphragms continuously. In case the consumption of

pressurized air has increased and it flows into the chamber even at the end of pressing
stage, change the damaged diaphragm immediately.
Seal (6)
The seal is fixed to the frame on the chamber's side in order to prevent slurry leakages.
There is no seal below the cloth, but the cloth and plastic surface are face to face. If a
counterpressure forms a space below the cloth, the filtrate starts to leak from the plate
pack.
DOC23877 Rev. B
Filtrate collector (7)
The filtrate collectors form the channels through which the filtrate is discharged from the
plate pack in the "pack closed" position.
Observe the collectors’ alignment. Removing the collectors

causes leakage in the line. Correct their position.
The wear of slide pieces and/or removing the filtrate chamber is causing these changes.
Refer to paragraph "Adjustment of slide pieces", 3.5.
3.2.2. Process Piping
The Outotec (Filters) Oy PF filter includes two pipelines, which are directly in contact with
the filtration process; the feed pipe and the filtrate pipe.
Filtrate pipe
The purpose of the filtrate pipe is to remove the filtrate or the wash liquid (filters with cake
washing) which has penetrated through the cake.
Feed pipe
The slurry as well as drying air is led through the feed pipe into the filter chambers. Also in
filters with a cake washing option the same route is used for the washing liquid. All these
different operations can be accomplished with pinch valves. Slurry is pumped through the
lower end, drying air and the possible washing liquid through the upper end of the feed
pipe.
DOC23877 Rev. B
3.3. Auxiliary operations

3.3.1. Closing mechanism
General
The closing mechanism comprises quick action cylinders (1), sealing cylinders (2) and
locking pins (3) as indicated in the enclosed drawing.
The closing of the plate pack takes place in two stages: first the plate pack is closed by
means of quick action cylinders (1) and after closing, the plate pack is sealed with sealing
cylinders (2).
Quick action
The plate pack is open after previous cycle. The plate pack closes when the top pressing
plate (5) is driven to its lowermost position by means of quick action cylinders (1).
After this, the locking pins (3) fix the top pressing plate (5) to the columns (6) that have
been fixed to the base plate (7).
The filtration chambers have thus been formed, and the plate pack is now surrounded by
the pressing plates, base plate and columns.
Sealing
After locking, the filtration chambers

are sealed tightly by pressing the plate
pack (4) between the pressing plates
by sealing cylinders (2) fixed to the
base plate (7).
When the sealing cylinders (2) reach

the pressure required for closing the
plate pack, automatically controlled
locking valves shut off their oil
connecting elements. The purpose of
these valves is to secure that the
cylinders stay in place.
After filtration, the plate pack opens for

cake discharge.
The sealing cylinders (2) return to their

initial position, after which the locking
pins (3) are drawn to their "open"
position, which releases the top
pressing plate (5) for quick opening.
When the filter is stopped for maintenance, make sure that the plate pack is in its upper
position and the pressing plate is fixed with locking pins (3) to the columns (6).
DOC23877 Rev. B
3.3.2. Cloth
The cloth operates both as a filtering element and as a conveyor belt transporting the cake
out of the filter. Besides having a good filtering ability, the cloth must be able to withstand
heavy pulling.
Only special type of fabrics can be used. The most commonly used material is a
multifilament fabric which is lengthwise (warp) stronger than crosswise (weft).
Pay special attention to possible holes in the cloth. Patch the holes immediately; solid
matters entering through the holes wear the filtrate channels heavily especially during
drying when the air flow speed is high.
Cloth wash
To sustain the cloth's filtering properties, a part

of the cloth is spray-washed by pressurized
water after every filtration cycle. The washing
takes place automatically and simultaneously
with the cloth travel.
Make sure that all the nozzles stay open and

that the sprays are directed towards the cloth in
a correct angle. No unwashed stripes must be
left on the cloth. If necessary, rinse the wash
liquid filter located in the wash liquid piping.
The wash water consumption is comparable to

the available pressure according to the curve
presented below. The consumption of water is
fractional - it is used only when the cloth is
moving.
NOTE! Due to the efficient operation of the nozzles, the pressure recommendation is
10-14 bar.
DOC23877 Rev. B
3.3.3. Pressing air pipe

3.3.4. Cloth drive mechanism
To remove the cakes and to wash the cloth, the cloth is moved by means of drive rollers
between filtering cycles. A spring-loaded pressing roller presses the cloth against the drive
roller in order to maintain the tension.

An encoder attached to the roller measures the length of cloth travel.
The discharge length (plates) must be defined so that the filter is discharged completely.
Check that the clipper seam finds its right position on the guide roller, i.e. outside the
sealing surface.
DOC23877 Rev. B
Cloth tensioning device
The change in the cloth length, that takes place during the opening of the plate pack and
cloth travel is compensated by means of tensioning device. A torque, which is brought
about by means of hydraulic motor tightens a pair of chains fixed to the tensioning roller.
Observe the pressure used by the tensioning device motor and compare it to the pressure
used during the start-up. You may increase the torque by raising the pressure and
decrease it by lowering the pressure.
Cloth tracking
Cloth tracking operates automatically by means of a roller movable at its other end. The
cloth may also be tracked manually with the help of push-buttons to a desired direction.
Due to manufacture, there are slight bends on the cloth to avoid the cloth drifting slightly to
the sides while moving.
When tracking the cloth manually, let the cloth circulate several times and make sure that it
does not drift to either side systematically. If the cloth does not stay centered, the cloth
seam is inclined or one of the rollers does not rotate.
Observe that the cloth stays in the center area.

Reservoir
The reservoir, volume of 600 liters (161 GAL) provides the storage of the hydraulic fluid.
The fluid level is monitored with transmitter B6501 and the temperature with transmitter
B6601. Transmitters B6501 and B6601 are integrated into the same apparatus. Safety
switch S6601 stops the pump if the oil temperature is too high.
The hydraulic fluid temperature is controlled with an oil cooler (45). Transmitter B6601
controls the cooling by activating either fan motor M05 or cooling water circulation. This
depends on the type of hydraulic unit.
The return fluid into the tank is passing through the filter cartridge RF. The cartridge
condition is monitored by differential pressure switch S6410. In the head side is situated
thermometer TM and level indicator LE, and for dusty conditions is available an air
breather.

DOC23877 Rev. B
Hydraulic pumps
The fluid pressure is generated with two radial piston pumps, which are driven by one
constant speed 3-phase electric motor M01.
A variable displacement pump P1 produces pressure to primary hydraulic circuit. The

maximum displacement of the pump is 250 cm³/rev and its maximum pressure and
maximum flow are electrically controlled by a p/Q amplifier. The amplifier controls a servo
solenoid valve in the pump(P1) pilot circuit. The pump control system uses following
signals:
- Pressure set point signal Up (0...10 VDC) from Outotec control system
- Flow set point signal UQ (0...10 VDC) from Outotec control system
- Feedback signal from system pressure transmitter B411 (4...20 mA)
- Feedback signal from pilot stage (servo solenoid valve spool) position transducer
(10VDC)
- Feedback signal from stroke ring position transducer (displacement) (10VDC)
Pump P3 produces fluid power to accumulator circuit. It is a variable pump with maximum
displacement of 45 cm3/rev.
The suction sides of both pumps are connected to the reservoir with reinforced rubber
hoses.
DOC23877 Rev. B
Valve Unit
The valve unit is attached on to the top of the hydraulic oil reservoir. The unit includes
hydraulic accumulator AC and its control circuits, pressure relief valves, pressure
transmitters and pressure gauges.
The hydraulic fluid from pump P1 enters the valve unit through port PP1. Pressure is
measured with two pressure transmitters, one of which (B411) is only for pump control
feedback signal and is not connected to the PLC system. Pressure gauge PG1 shows the
primary circuit pressure. The primary circuit pressure relief valve PR1 limits the system
pressure to the pre set value (290 bar).
The hydraulic fluid from pump P3 enters the valve unit through port PP2 and is used in
accumulator circuit. See Accumulator circuit for functional description.
Ports P1 and P3 are the pressure connections to the pressure filter. Port T1 returns the fluid
back to reservoir.
DOC23877 Rev. B
Accumulator Circuit
The circuit is equipped with accumulator (AC) to provide hydraulic pressure during power
failures. The accumulator also provides the minor operations while the hydraulic pump is
idling. The accumulator has a steel shell with rubber bladder, and it’s pre-filled with nitrogen
gas to appropriate pressure. The accumulator pressure is monitored with pressure
transmitter B6403 and pressure gauge PG0, and the maximum pressure is limited by
means of pressure relief valve PR03. The circuit pressure is controlled with pressure
reducing valve PR01 and monitored by means of pressure gauge PG3.
Accumulator charging is controlled with displacement of pump P3 and with pressure relief
valve PR03. Displacement of the pump P3 is adjusted close to zero when system is not
chargin the accumulator.
The accumulator pressure and recharging are monitored with the alarm circuit. See B6403
for details.
DOC23877 Rev. B
Filling the oil container
Before filling the oil container, ensure that the container is completely clean inside. The
container is filled to the upper limit of the oil level gauge with oil according to the
recommendations. Filling must take place by using a separate filtration pump unit, which is
provided with a max. 5 um abs. full flow filter. The filling quick coupling in the hydraulic unit
is located in connection with the return filter. Filling with an open vessel is forbidden.
Note! The barrel oil delivered by oil companies is not clean enough for the hydraulic
system. If the barrel oil is used without separate filtration, the oil filter will be
blocked within few days.
The blocking of the oil filter will cause informative alarm by means of pressure switch S6410
and high pressure oil filter pressure switch S411.

3.5. Functional Description of the Filter

3.5.1. Principle of pressure filtration
Filtration
When the filter plate pack has been closed, the process slurry is pumped into all filter
chambers simultaneously. The solids (cake) begin to form as the filtrate is displaced by
more slurry entering the chamber. As the solids build, the pumping pressure increases, and
filtrate is forced through the cloth until the required solids thickness is achieved.
Pressing I
Pressing air inflates the rubber diaphragms located at the top of each chamber. The
diaphragm presses the solids (cake) against the cloth surface squeezing the solids (cake)
to remove more filtrate through the cloth.
Washing (optional)
The wash liquid is pumped into the filter chambers in the same way as the slurry. As the
wash liquid fills the filtration chamber, the diaphragm is lifted up and the air is forced out
from the upper side of the diaphragm. The wash liquid flows into the discharge pipes after
passing through the solids (cake) and the cloth.
DOC23877 Rev. B
Pressing II (optional)
The diaphragms are re-inflated, forcing the wash liquid uniformly through the solids (cake)
as in stage 2 above.
Air drying
Compressed air is blown through the solids (cake) for final dewatering. In other words, the
air is entered through the distribution pipe filling the filter chamber, raising the diaphragm
and forcing the pressing air above the diaphragm out of the filter. The air flow through the
solids (cake) optimizes the moisture content and, at the same time, empties the filtrate
chamber.
Solids (cake) discharge
When the air drying process has been completed, the plate pack opens, cloth moving
mechanism starts and the dewatered solids are conveyed out of each chamber on the
moving filter cloth. The solids on the cloth are discharged from both sides of the filter.
NOTE! The four-stage (short) program does not include washing and second pressing
stages.

4. INSTALLATION AND DECOMMISSIONING INSTRUCTION
Before starting installation, use the packing list to check that

all the items for the filter and all the accessories have been
supplied completely and are free of damage. Immediately
contact Outotec (Filters) Oy if there are any missing or
damaged parts.
DOC23877 Rev. B
4.1. Main Package Dimensions and Weights

DOC23877 Rev. B
4.2. Lifting Instructions
 Use appropriate and certified lifting equipment, such as cranes,

hoisting slings and hoisting chains for lifting the filter. Ensure
that the condition and lifting class of the lifting equipment is
sufficient.
 Carefully plan your work beforehand.
 The transport accessories (plywood frame, steel supports and
tarpaulin) must be kept on the machine while lifting.
 Lift very slowly and leave enough room around the filter. The
filter will not rise quite horizontally. When it is lifted off the
platform it tends to move towards its longitudinal axis.
Plan the lifting so that changes of the fixing are at the minimum. Make sure that the
condition and lifting class of the cranes are sufficient. Even a “slight” swing or collision may
cause severe damages to people or equipment. The main dimensions, weight, lifting points
and the centre of gravity of the pressure filter can be seen in manufacturer’s drawing.
The pressure filter must be lowered to the platform very slowly because it tends to move
slightly towards its longitudinal axis. Once the filter is in its place, the transport supports can
be removed.
DANGER
Falling load hazard. Will cause severe injury or death. Do not

stand under a lifted load.
Squashing hazard. A moving hoisted load will cause severe

injury or death. Make sure no unauthorized personnel are in
the vicinity of a lifted load.
WARNING
Falling hazard. Falling can cause severe injury or death.

Moving on the pressure filter (when fixing and loosening lift
chains) requires special attention and caution. Water or ice
can make the painted surfaces extremely slippery.
DOC23877 Rev. B
NOTICE
Incorrect hoisting may also cause damage to the machinery.

Do not damage leads, cables and other components when
fixing and loosening the lifting equipment
NOTE! The shafts of the quick action cylinders (4 pieces) are covered with plastic pipes
in the factory. Check that they are in place. Prevent the shafts from being
damaged.
DOC23877 Rev. B
4.3. Installation Instructions

4.3.1. Installation and connections
Before lifting the filter check that the installation site is as

level as possible and that the positions of the fixing holes,
pipe inlets and cake chutes of the filter frame are according to
manufacturer’s drawings
Follow the specific lifting instructions for this machine.
The pressure filter is installed on a concrete or steel foundation with dimensions as

indicated in the confirmed drawings supplied as enclosures to the order confirmation.
The filter auxiliary equipment related to the operation of the filter are measured and
installed according to the documentation of such equipment.
Install the filter in a horizontal position. Check the correct position of the filter by leveling the
columns, which must be in a vertical position ( 1mm/m). This instruction does not apply to
the operator panel.
The filter is delivered fully assembled or in parts depending on the size of the filter and the
installation conditions. Screw joints may loosen during transportation. Check all screw joints
and if necessary, tighten them before the start up.
The piping, which is not included in the delivery, is constructed and connected by the
customer according to the Outotec's instructions. The inlet and outlet pipes must be
connected to the filter piping flanges or valve ends.
The filter is connected to the electrical network according to the cabling instruction drawing
(ref drawing in Folder 2 “Electrification”).
The cleanliness of the hydraulic system is very important. When installing the hydraulics,
make sure that there is no dirt between or inside the components and joints.
In case the filter is in a stock for a longer time (2 months or more), it might be reasonable to
protect it against corrosion. The procedure of the protection depends on the circumstances.
Please contact OUTOTEC to get more information about the current procedure.
In case of an extended shut down, (1 day or more) drive the plate pack up and the locking
pins out. In this case the corrosion protection has the same rules as above.
Before installation it must be checked that all parts mentioned in the packing list have
arrived.
A seizing deterrent must be used in all screw joints unless otherwise instructed. The
tensioning torques of screw joints can be found on the next page.
During lifting, general precaution must be observed and all pieces must be protected.
Especially the quick action cylinder rods must be covered until the plate pack is moved. The
pieces are lifted at the points indicated in the drawings and instructions. Any surface
damage must be repaired.
DOC23877 Rev. B
Due to the height of the filter, a passenger hoist or scaffolding is required for the installation.
The weights of different pieces are indicated in the installation instructions and packing lists.
Special care and cleanliness must be observed during installation of hydraulics. The
pipes/hoses and actuators must be kept plugged until connected.
The instructions for the Hand Held operations should be read through carefully before
testing any hydraulic functions.
Assembly directions of the disassembled filter parts:
Even if the filter is delivered ”fully assembled”, there are often some parts that are removed
from the assy, for transportation packing. Then, these disassembled parts, i.e. some of the
side covers (safety doors and shields) and slurry and filtrate hoses are fixed either into the
main filter packing or, as usual, packed in a separate box. For assembling of these or other
removed parts of the filter assembly, see the details from assembly and spare part
drawings and their parts lists, which are an integral part of Outotec (Filters) Oy filter
complete supply.
Control panel
In case the control panel is separated from the filter, it will be delivered in a plywood box.
The control unit weighs about 200 kg. The lifting loops are situated on top of the control
panel. The fixing holes of the control panel are inside the control panel. The bag containing
moisture aspirating material should be left in its place inside the control panel until the start-
up. The gadget window must be kept closed. If the piping etc. installation work is carried out
near the control panel, it must be covered against dust and dirt.

- Start up spare parts kit available
DOC23877 Rev. B
5.1.2. Checks before start up

- Check the condition of the filter cloth seam
- Make sure that the times of different operational stages correspond to the optimum
times achieved in test filtration or test runs
- Check the surroundings of the filter and make sure that no ladders or other objects are
leaning on it
5.1.3. Start up measures

1. Open the manual valves of the pipelines leading to the filter
2. Make sure that the cake discharge conveyor works properly
3. Make sure that the slurry feed pump works properly
4. Make sure that the separate pump for cloth wash works properly (if in use)
If the stage timings and the "ready for operation" lights are blinking, filtering can be started
NOTE! if any of the alarm lights is on or the "emergency-stop" button is pushed down,
the "ready for operation" light does not illuminate
5. Start the filter by discharging
NOTICE
Pieces of cake left in between the sealing surfaces might

damage the filter cloth. Make sure that the spaces between
the plates are clean before the plate pack is closed
6. Turn the selector switch to "AUTO" position. From now on the operation of the filter
proceeds automatically onwards to "plate pack closing", "filtering" etc.
5.1.4. Adjustments
Observe the variables listed below and adjust the filter and the process according to
different situations in order to reach the best results in all stages of the process.
NOTE! The exact adjustment gives the best result
The factors effecting to the filtration results
- filterability of the feed

- condition of the cloth
- openness of the filtrate channels
DOC23877 Rev. B
The amount of the cake also depends on
- solid contents of the feed

- feed pressure
- filtration time
The dryness of the cake also depends on
- particle size of the feed

- pressing pressure
- drying air pressure
- air drying time
The washing result also depends on
- wash liquid pressure

- washing time
- wash liquid properties
- cake permeability
5.1.5. Checks after start up

In order to reach the best possible results with minor possible problems, always pay
attention to following:
- When the slurry valve opens, observe the pressure reading. If the pressure does not
start rising, there are either closed valves on the feed pipeline, a pipe is blocked or the
pump is not working properly
- If there is too much leakage between the plates during the filtering stage, a seal has
been damaged or the filtrate piping has become clogged
- Observe the pressure of the water station
- When washing the cake, watch the wash liquid pressure reading (for the same reason
as when pumping slurry)
- When drying with air, an air blow requires a sufficient amount of air. Check that at the
beginning of the drying phase the pressure of the distribution pipe reaches at least 3
bar, which ensures that there is a sufficient amount of compressed air for all the
chambers
- When the filter discharges, make sure that there is a cake formed on each filter plate.
An empty space is a sign of a blockage either in the feed hose or in the feed joint of the
filter plate
DOC23877 Rev. B
NOTICE
Blockages can cause the empty filter plates to bend under the
pressure. Clear all blockages before carrying on with filter
operation.
NOTE! Check the condition of the filter cloth. An acid washing is necessary in
certain processes occasionally
- Observe the cloth to be sure it remains undamaged. A damaged cloth must be mended
immediately to prevent the particles for escaping through a broken cloth out of the
filtrate flow channels
- Observe the diaphragms. They must remain undamaged
- Always use the lowest possible pressure to achieve the desired filtering result. An
unnecessarily high pressure shortens the life of the diaphragm and other wearing parts
- Do not feed too much material into the filter (The maximum cake thickness is 40 mm for
45 mm high chambers, and 55 mm for 60 mm chambers): the feed pipe may get
clogged, cake discharge become more difficult or, if the material is heavy, the cloth can
break.
Do not feed too much material into the filter to avoid damage
- Do not let the feed hoses to block up. An empty filter chamber under pressure causes
the plate to bend. A bent plate causes leakage, makes holes in the cloth and hampers
the cake discharge
DANGER

push anything in between the plates while the filter is in
operation.
- Avoid high temperatures when a standard filter is in question. In temperatures above

+ 60 °C, a strong aging phenomenon affects to the rubber and the operating life of the
rubber parts becomes shorter. When operating in temperatures over +60 ºC, the
manufacturer's instructions must be strictly followed.
DOC23877 Rev. B
Do not direct the pressure-water spray directly at the

electrical devices when washing the filter
5.1.6. Maintenance
Maintenance of the standard parts
- According to the instructions given by the sub-suppliers attached to this manual.
General
- Flush the filter from outside when necessary, when the filter is not in operation.
- Keep the filter and its surroundings tidy and free from any unnecessary objects.

5.3.3. Cleaning the display

NOTE! To clean the display, use a soft cloth or paper towel and any ordinary window
cleaner
It is an essential part of the unit‟s maintenance to keep the display clean. Even if a great
care is taken to touch the display with clean hands only (this is not necessary), dirt will still
collect on the display surface.
For cleaning the display (since all screens have been active), a Screen cleaning CLS
function has been programmed into the display unit. The function is accessed from the
TOOLS menu. After a selected time the display will automatically return back to the FILTER
menu.
To help prevent marring the plastic sheet on the surface of the display, carefully clean off
any abrasive particles on the display surface, and then clean as advised above.

S6742/H6742
DOC23877 Rev. B
- Enable Switch S6790
Base unit KA100 includes the safety program. The inputs as well as KA101 inputs are
used for controlling the safety signals from safety devices and safety control devices.
The outputs are used for controlling the expansion safety relays (KA110, KA111, KA102
and KA112) and other devices.
Fieldbus module KA130 is used for communication with PLC.
5.5.3. Emergency stop functions:
Auto mode:
In Auto mode (Key Switch S6780 in Auto mode), the Hand Held unit must be connected
in Right Side, near to the terminal box X2. Enable Switch S6790 must be connected to
opposite corner of the filter and the Enable Switch S6790 must be released. The doors
must be closed and the door alarms must be acknowledged. When these conditions are
true and all the safety relays are ON (KA110, KA111, KA102, KA112), the Auto Ready
signal is sent to PLC. In Auto mode the PLC together with Safety System controls the
functions of filter and auxiliary equipments.
Test mode:
In Test Mode (Key Switch S6780 in Test Down or Test Top mode) it is possible to make
the maintenance and test functions for the single devices of the filter. In Test mode the
Hand Held can be connected on Right side or on Left side.
When Hand Held is connected to Right side, the doors can be open on Right side and
similarly when connected to Left side the doors can be open on Left side. If the doors
are opened on the other side, there will become a door alarm to that side. In that case
close the doors and acknowledge the alarm.
If it is needed to open the doors on both sides, the Enable Switch S6790 must be
connected on the other side than Hand Held. After that it is possible to open the doors
on both sides without alarm.
In Test Down mode it is possible to test the devices on low level of the filter with Hand
Held unit.
In Test Top mode it is possible to test the valves on the top of the filter. The selection
switch S6714 in Hand Held unit must be in Auto mode. The doors on both sides can be
open. The valve to be tested is selected by selection switch S6712 and test activation
will be done by Test Activate push button S765. The switches are located on the top of
the filter in X12 or in X15.
DOC23877 Rev. B
Alarms from safety system:

If there are any alarms in safety system (“S70* EMERGENCY STOP”, “S8**LT DOORS
LEFT SIDE NOT ACKNOWLEDGED” or “S8**RT DOOR RIGHT SIDE NOT
ACKNOWLEDGED”), before any device or function can be activated the safety alarms
must be acknowledged. All alarms are seen in OIU and can be acknowledged with push
button S6733. In case of door alarms (H6741 or H6742 illuminated), acknowledge it
with Door Alarm Push Button S6741 or S6742 before acknowledge it from OIU with
S6733 (see chapter 2-9 Malfunctions and alarms). If H6741 or H6742 are flashing,
door(s) are open.
Expansion safety relay KA110:

Emergency Stop Push Buttons are located in different units. S6701 in Control cabin X1,
S6703 in pressing water station, S6705 in hydraulic unit , S6706 and S6702 in Hand
Held unit. There can be also some other Emergency stop Push Buttons.
KA110 is controlled only by Emergency Stop Push Buttons.
Expansion safety relay KA111:

Expansion Safety Relay KA111 is reserved for motors and equipments outside of filter.
All motors and equipments that supply water, slurry or some other material to the filter
and equipments that can cause harm or danger to filter or people, must have contact
from KA111 for stopping those devices.
Expansion Safety Relay KA111 is not working in Test mode. In Auto mode it is ON
every time when Auto ready conditions are True.
Feedback signal from MCC:
Feedback signal from MCC must be ON before Emergency Safety Relay system is
possible to get active. With this loop it is controlled that all the motors and equipments
must be stopped before the safety system can be activated.
If MCC loop is not ON after emergency stop (by doors or EMS buttons), Emergency
Stop relay will have O_FAULT and alarm is seen in OIU “KA100 FAULT IN
EMERGENCY STOP RELAY”, when trying to acknowledge the alarm.
Testing of devices:
Testing of valves and hydraulic and pneumatic functions of the filter devices will be
done with Hand Held unit. Later there is explanation of the Hand Held unit operation.
DOC23877 Rev. B
Expansion safety relays KA102 and KA112:
In terminal box X2 in the filter there is Emergency Stop Expansion Relay KA102. Via
this relay the power is activated to solenoid valves and other devices of the low level of
the filter.
In Test Down mode. KA102 will be ON only when the Test Activate push Button S6723
or S6725 is pushed in HH unit.
In terminal box X12 on the top of the filter there is Emergency Stop Expansion Relay
KA112. Via this relay power is activated to solenoid valves of process valves on the top
of the filter.
In Test Top mode. KA112 will be activated only when the Test Activate push Button
S6765 is pushed in X12 or X15.
If during Test Down mode the doors are open on both sides, in the other side another
operator must use Enable switch S6790. If the Enable Switch is connected, the doors
can be opened without alarm. When the doors are open on both sides, the enable
switch must be kept in middle position, before KA102 can be activated and any device
or function can be activated .
Safety in testing:
Hand Held unit can be connected to both sides of the filter, normally the connectors are
in opposite corners. Home place for HH unit is near to terminal box X2 and in Auto
mode it must be connected to that side. Enable Switch S6790 must be connected in
Auto mode to opposite side.
When operator is testing alone, the doors can be open on the side where the HH is
connected. For safety reasons the doors on the other side must be closed.
If it is necessary to open the doors on both sides, the other operator must use Enable
switch S6790.
If Enable switch is connected to other side, it is possible to open the doors without door
alarm. For testing it must be pressed first the Enable switch in middle position by one
operator and after that the other operator can push the test activate push button in HH
unit. The operator can stop the test function by releasing the Enable Switch.

The MODE touch button is used to select a drive mode. The following drive modes are
available:
REMOTE Sets the filter to remote control state and allows controlling the filter from the
(Optional) customer control system (DCS).
AUTO The filter operates using the preset stage times.
MANUAL The filter can be operated one stage at a time. This mode is used e.g. for
optimizing the stage times.
END When this mode is selected, the filter stops at the end of the cycle. This is
used whenever the operator wishes to stop a filter running in auto mode.
RESET Is used to e.g. stop a filtering cycle. In this case the filter starts filtering in a
controlled manner from the very first stage.
DOC23877 Rev. B
5.7. Man mode (Manual mode)

DOC23877 Rev. B
2. For PRESSURE RELEASE proceed to step 4. For any other stage, use the  <   or
> touch buttons for scrolling through the stages. Note that the  <   touch button does
not forward the sequence from the beginning to the end, where as the   > touch button
rewinds the sequence from the end to the beginning. Note also that this kind of
selection process is possible only when the filter is stopped.
3. To start the filter, push the START button once. Note that prior to
starting the filter, the START button should be flashing indicating
that the filter is ready to begin operations. In case it fails to do so,
make sure that there is no active alarms. Once the filter is running,
the START button is illuminated.
The time elapsed during filter operations will be displayed in the TIME ELAPSED area.
In MAN MODE time will COUNT UP from zero to show actual time elapsed in the stage
currently running.
4. To proceed to the next stage, push the START button once.

5. To stop the filter, push the STOP button. When pushing the STOP
button once, it illuminates indicating that the filter has stopped.
To restart the filter from the stage, where it was stopped, push the
6.. START button.
RESTRICTIONS
1. The filtration stage cannot be selected twice during one operation cycle. If filtration has
been going on for 10 seconds or more and is stopped and restarted, the sequence will
automatically skip over slurry feeding and continue from pipe and hose washing.
2. The process stages cannot be selected unless the plate pack is fully closed.
3. The discharge stage cannot be selected unless the plate pack is fully open.
NOTICE
Overfilling can cause serious damage to the filter plates.

When in manual mode, supervise the prefiltration and
filtration stages.
WARNING

leave the filter running by itself in MAN mode
DOC23877 Rev. B
5.8. Auto mode (automatic)

AUTO MODE is the normal operating mode of the filter. All necessary operations to run the
filter are automatically executed by the control system.
1. Select AUTO MODE from the touch screen and turn the
HYDRAULIC UNIT switch S6755 to position 1.
The AUTO MODE screen will be displayed. The screen has the following elements:
? Touch button to activate HELP-screen

REMAINING Displays the time remaining in AUTO MODE.
STATUS Displays the current status, e.g. RUN, READY, STOP
DOC23877 Rev. B
2. To start the filter from the present stage push the START button
once. Note that prior to starting the filter, the START button should
be flashing indicating that the filter is ready to begin operations. In
case it fails to do so, make sure that there are no active alarms.
Once the filter is running, the START button is illuminated.
The time remaining during filter operations will be displayed in the
REMAINING area.
NOTE! In AUTO MODE, the time will COUNT DOWN from the preset to show the
time remaining in each stage.
3. If you want to start from another stage, see instructions for program RESET in section
RESET MODE and MANUAL START in section MANUAL MODE.
5.8.1. How to stop the filter

1. To stop the filter push STOP button. When pushing the STOP
button once, it illuminates indicating that the filter has stopped.
NOTE! The filter may be stopped due to an alarm or a voltage
break.
If the filter has been stopped, and it has been idling for a long
period of time, it is recommended that the filter to be driven in the
discharge stage in MAN MODE until the full length of the filter
cloth has been washed.
Once the full length has been washed, the AUTO MODE can be
switched on, to be able to operate the filter normally.
5.8.2. How to restart the filter with automatic drive

1.
If tThe filter has been stopped due to an alarm or if the STOP button
has been pushed, proceed as follows:
Locate and eliminate the alarm or malfunction prior to restarting
the filter (see MALFUNCTIONS AND ALARMS).
Push the START button once. The filter restarts from the stage it
was stopped in and continues the automatic operation.
DOC23877 Rev. B
5.9. End mode (Stop at the end of the cycle)

The END mode is used to stop the filter automatically after complete cycle (after cake
discharge and cloth wash), thereby freeing the operator from having to wait for the end of
the present cycle.
In this mode the filter will perform an orderly stopping after the end of cake discharge.
All functions in END mode are similar to those in AUTO mode.
1. Select END mode from the touch screen.

2. The filter will continue its operation through the cycle as if in AUTO mode and stop after
the end of cloth washing. At this time the filter will perform an orderly shutdown by
closing the plate pack. The filter can be restarted at any time in either MAN mode or
AUTO mode by pushing the START button (see MAN mode or AUTO mode). The filter
will restart from PLATE PACK OPEN after END mode stop.
DOC23877 Rev. B

5.12. Operation stages in automatic operation
5.12.1. SBR01 Pressure release

For security reasons, pressure release is always the first stage when starting an Outotec
PRESSURE FILTER. During this stage, the remaining pressure in the filter chambers is
released for safe plate pack opening. This stage is divided into two periods of time: in the
first and main period the inlet valves are closed. During the second period, the manifold
drain valves V607 and V617 are opened.
5.12.2. SBR02 Plate pack opening

On completion of the PRESSURE RELEASE the plate pack is unsealed by driving the
sealing cylinders downwards. The quick action cylinders are then driven to release the pins
from the column holes. The locking pins are unlocked (pins move into the upper pressure
plate). After the locking pins have been unlocked, the plate pack is opened by driving the
quick action cylinders upwards until the plate pack is fully open. The cloth strain starts at
the same time as the PLATE PACK OPENING.
5.12.3. SBR03 Cake discharge

When the plate pack is fully open, the cloth drive motor HM09 is started and the cloth wash
inlet valve V609 is opened. The cake formed on the cloth is then discharged into the cake
chutes at both ends of the filter. After the first plate length of discharge, the speed of the
cloth is increased, reducing thus the cloth washing time.
5.12.4. SBR04 Restart operation

Operation delay. The system executes a restart check and proceeds to the next stage.
5.12.5. SBR05 Plate Pack closing

On completion of the restart operations delay, the filter begins to close the plate pack. First
the quick action cylinders are moved downwards after which the locking pins are locked.
Finally, the plate pack is sealed by driving the sealing cylinders upwards until the required
sealing pressure is reached.
5.12.6. SBR06 Pre-Filtration

When the filter plates are closed and sealed, the slurry is fed to the distribution pipe through
V602 and V612 and further to each chamber through the feed collectors. The filtrate passes
through the cloth into the filtrate pan and exits the filter chamber via filtrate collectors into
the filtrate side pipe and out through the valve V608. Cake begins to form on the cloth.
When the filtration time runs out, the filtration stage starts.
DOC23877 Rev. B
5.12.7. SBR07 Filtration (Slurry feed)

When the filter plates are closed and sealed, the slurry is fed through the distribution pipe to
each chamber through the feed collectors. The filtrate passes through the cloth into the
filtrate pan and exits the filter chamber via filtrate collectors into the filtrate side pipe and out
through the valve V601. Cake begins to form on the cloth.
5.12.8. SBR08 Pipe washing

After the filtration stage, the distribution pipe is cleaned by opening the manifold drain
valves V607 and V617 and feeding water through the pipe from cake wash inlet valve V05.
5.12.9. SBR09 Hose washing

After the pipe washing stage, the slurry feed hoses are cleaned by opening the cake wash
inlet valve V605 which forces water through the slurry feed hoses and into the filter
chambers. The drain valves V607 and V617 are closed.
5.12.10. SBR10 Pressing 1

In the pressing stage, the pressing air enters through the pressing air pipe and the hoses
into the space above the rubber diaphragms. All the remaining liquid from the filter chamber
above the formed cake is forced through the cake and it exits the filter. Finally the cake is
pressed for elimination of any liquid mechanically disposable still present in the cake.
Proceed now to CAKE WASHING.
5.12.11. SBR11 Cake washing (optional)

The washing liquid is fed to the filter chamber through the wash liquid inlet valve V05. The
washing liquid washes the cake and passes through the cloth into the filtrate collectors.
5.12.12. SBR12 Pressing 2 (optional)

After the washing stage the washing liquid remaining in the filter chamber is pressed out by
introducing the pressing air into the diaphragms, like in the Pressing 1 stage.
5.12.13. SBR13 Drainage of distribution Pipe

After the last pressing stage and before the cake air drying the distribution pipe is drained of
water/slurry by opening valves V607, V617 and vent valve V627.
5.12.14. SBR14 Cake air drying

Drying of the cake is accomplished with compressed air. The air enters the distribution pipe
through V606 and V616 valves. The air flowing through the cake reduces its moisture
content to the optimum value simultaneously emptying the filter chamber from the pressing
air.

DOC23877 Rev. B
6.1. General Notes on Maintenance Work

Safety
Before starting any work:
- Inform the operating personnel on the maintenance work.

- Make sure you know the structure of the filter.
- Get familiar with all different operation stages of the filter.
- Learn how to use the control panel push buttons.
- Never use faulty service tools during maintenance.
- Follow all safety regulations.
- Carry out check-ups regularly.
- Wear proper protective clothing and equipment.
- Check that there are no persons or foreign objects in between the moving parts.
- Close the manual valves in the process piping.
- If maintaining hydraulics, lower all loads, unload accumulators, switch off pumps and
secure them from being switched back on.
- Open the main switch and the fuses and lock the main switch in its OPEN position for
the time the maintenance or repair work is being done.
- Keep the EMERGENCY-STOP button pushed down always when the activation of the
functions of the filter is not necessary. This is how you prevent manual and remote
starts of the filter.
The filter operates automatically, thus never start any maintenance or repair work when the
filter is energized.
When working on top of the filter, drive the plate pack to its open position and lock the top
pressing plate to the columns with locking pins.
NOTE! Before starting any maintenance or repair work, always open the main switch
and the fuses and lock the main switch in its OPEN position for the time the
maintenance or repair work is being done. Close all the manually actuated
process valves.
NOTE! Do not keep maintenance tools fixed in the filter
In possible emergency situations, there are several Emergency-Stop switches. They are
situated on the control panel, side of the cloth conveyor unit casing, in hydraulic unit and in
hand held unit. The Emergency-Stop switches stop the filter immediately. Before a new
start, make sure that the switches has been released.
NOTE! Inspect the condition of the distribution pipelines and hoses for wear and tear,
as well as their joints.
The filter uses hydraulic pressures so that in case of possible failure the pressure is
released immediately. The filter is always open on its filtrate side.
DOC23877 Rev. B
Check that the hose guards are in place, as they are meant to receive the force of the
pressure blow in case of possible hose damage.
When changing the cloth, beware of the pinch points formed by the rollers.
Carefully follow the instructions for changing the cloth given in the Operation and
Maintenance Manual.
In case the filter is located in a place where there is a danger of explosion, make sure that
the cloth does not move before it is wetted all around with conductive liquid, e.g. water.
NOTE! If the cloth is moved while dry, there must be no hazardous gases, dust or any
other explosively sensitive materials in the same space with the filter.
In case there are explosion sensitive materials in the same space with the filter and the
cloth, the filter has to be moved for carrying out maintenance work. Similar approach to
ensure the work safety is recommended as what is the mill practice, when carrying out
maintenance work (e.g. welding at the same area).
The reason for these safety precautions is a possibility of electrical charging of the cloth.
The cloth can be charged with static electricity under some process conditions. If particles
attached to the cloth are electrically non-conductive, a static charge can be generated. This
would create a spark associated with rapid electrostatic discharge (ESD).
The reliable operation and the long life of the PF filter largely depends on the proper
knowledge and following of the operation and maintenance instructions.
These instructions are general; do not refer to measures required in special conditions.
The customer's own maintenance instructions for the machinery and equipment, as well as
the nature of the process and operating conditions largely determine the maintenance
measures to be taken.
Only qualified persons who are familiar with the functions of

the pressure filter may carry out the filter maintenance.
The persons responsible for the operation and maintenance of the automatics must be
familiar with the safety regulations for electrical equipment, as well as with the operation of
the PF filter's electrical equipment.
It is absolutely forbidden to use the filter and its automatic

devices if any fault has appeared.
The regular change of wearing parts, as well as ascertaining their premature failure and
immediate repair constitute a condition for the validity of the warranty.
DOC23877 Rev. B
Pressure filter maintenance includes:
- daily inspection and

- preventative maintenance
Before maintaining the hydraulics, make sure that you are familiar with the structure and the
function of the hydraulic system. Before detaching any components of the hydraulic system,
make sure that there is no pressure in the line, which is under work.
Before maintaining the pneumatics, close the shut-off valve in the pneumatic box. Closing
the valve releases pressure from the actuators of process valves. Close all pressurized
pipelines before shutting off the instrument air.

instructions.
6.3.1. Daily maintenance
The daily inspection and maintenance measures, when the filter is started and stopped:
- Remove cake and foreign particles from between the filter plates and on the filter cloth.
- When the filter is operated in cold conditions and the temperature of the hydraulic oil
has sunk below the recommended temperature for the oil in question, operate the filter
first without slurry. Check the operation of the oil heater.
- Observe the sealing pressure of the sealing cylinders. A decrease in sealing pressure
may cause leakages in the plate pack.
- The filter cloth must be free of holes and folds. Check cloth tracking.
- During the first filtration cycle, check that all filter plates have a cake of even thickness
(i.e. the feed pipe connections are open).
- When the filter is stopped, complete the filtration by filling the filter with water. This
enables you to clean the feed holes and grid space. Dry slurry stuck in the feed holes
causes pressure differences, which may bend the filter plates. If corrosive slurries have
been filtered, wash the filter outside, too.
DOC23877 Rev. B
6.3.2. Weekly maintenance
1. Visual inspection of the scrapers

2. Checking the emergency stop function
3. Condition and fixing of the limit switches
4. Checking the pressure of the hydraulics. Check hydraulic pressures during ON cycle,
when the filter is in operation (see the pressure values in the hydraulic diagram).
5. Observing the condition of slide pieces
6. Filling of grease nipples
6.3.3. Monthly maintenance

1. Inspection of filter plates, seals and diaphragms
2. Checking that the filter plates are straight and that the plates in the plate pack are in line
3. Checking the hydraulic pipeline hoses
4. Checking the hydraulic cylinders and fixings
5. Checking the operation of locking pins
6. Checking the chains and sprockets
7. Checking the seam thread of the filter cloth
6.3.4. Semiannual maintenance

- Analysis of a hydraulic oil and if necessary changing or fine filtration with a separate
filtration unit. The first oil analysis 1 month after start up. Oil recommendations have
been presented in the hydraulic unit instructions of this manual.
6.3.5. Replacement of wearing parts
NOTE! If the conditions are corrosive and the operating temperature is above 60 °C,
special instructions must be required from the manufacturer.
- Pinch valve sleeves, filter cloth, pressing diaphragms, plate pack seals, slide pieces and
scrapers must be changed immediately when noticed in order to prevent greater break
up.
DOC23877 Rev. B
6.4. Unscheduled maintenance

6.4.1. Filter cloth
Cloth drive system
To remove the cakes and to wash the cloth, the cloth is moved by means of drive rollers
(2 & 8) between filtering cycles. A spring-loaded pressing roller (3) presses the cloth against
the drive roller in order to improve the maintenance of tension.
The cloth functions both as a filtering element and as a conveyor belt transporting the cake
out of the filter. Besides having a good filtering ability, the cloth must withstand tension.
Only special type of fabrics can be used. The most commonly used material is a
multifilament fabric which is lengthwise (warp) stronger than crosswise (weft).
Pay special attention to possible holes in the cloth. Patch the holes immediately; solid
matters entering through the holes wear the filtrate channels heavily especially during
drying when the air flow speed is high.

DOC23877 Rev. B
Replacement of the cloth
1. Place the cloth on a rack outside the conveyor unit where the new cloth is on the top
and the cloth to be changed is rolled up around a tube underneath.
2. Open the conveyor unit hatches. Follow the cloth seam and drive it by means of test
drive next to the pressing roller.
3. Loosen the cloth by driving the tensioning roller upwards and close the restrictor valve
beside the tensioning motor.
4. Open the cloth joint and fix a new cloth to the cloth to be replaced.
5. Drive the cloth to its place by means of test drive and join it as instructed in the
paragraph "Installation of the cloth".
6. Open the restrictor valve and tighten the cloth. Check the tracking by means of test
drive.
Installation of the cloth
The installation of cloth takes place in the plate pack "open" position. The top pressing plate
must be fixed to the columns with locking pins.
Drive the tensioning roller (6) to its uppermost position by means of test drive. Close the
restrictor valve beside the tensioning motor (for locking the tensioning roller). Place the
cloth pack on a rack outside the conveyor unit, where it can be easily rotated.
Open the conveyor unit hatches and bring the cloth end over the centering roller (4) on the
spread roller (13), from where it is passed through the tensioning roller (6) up on the
impulse roller (5). Bring the cloth end to the guide rollers (7) (of the filter plates), where the
cloth is passed between the scraper (9) and the roller (10). Pass the cloth through the guide
roller (7) and vat rollers (1) and further between the wash nozzle pipes (11) onto the main
drive roller (2). Loosen the pressing roller springs and pass the cloth between the pressing
roller (3) and main drive roller (2). Pull sufficiently enough, loosen and join the cloth ends.
Bend one end of the joining thread double for about 10 mm. Pass the thread through the
seam so that the bent end of the thread gets inside the seam. Clip off the excess length so
that the other end of the thread remains about 5 - 10 mm over the width of the seam. Bend
also the other end into the seam. Open the restrictor valve. Tighten the cloth and check the
tracking by means of the test drive.
The cloth length is correct when there is a motion allowance of at least 700 mm for closing
the plate pack above the tensioning roller in the plate pack "open" position. The
recommended maximum allowance is approx. 2000 mm.
Excess motion allowance decreases the tensioning allowance required for the cloth
stretching.
DOC23877 Rev. B
Patching the cloth
NOTICE
Inappropriate cloth may cause damage to the machinery.

Patch all holes immediately.
The cloth can be patched by sewing. A zig-zag sewing machine for industrial purposes is
suitable for use, e.g. Singer 200 is provided with a 9 mm zig-zag.
NOTE! It is easiest to patch the cloth, when the holes are still small.
Patch the cloth as follows:
1. Follow the area to be patched and drive the cloth by means of test drive above the cloth
drive unit.
2. Slacken the filter cloth according to paragraph Slackening the filter cloth
3. Pull the cloth out of the tensioning roller so that the area to be patched would be easy to
handle.
4. Wash the cloth approx. 10 cm x 10 cm around the hole with a high-pressure washer.
5. Dry the washed area with pressurized air.
6. Sew a patch over the hole according to figure below. Pay special attention to the front
edge of the patch, because this seam is strained most by the scrapers.
1. Zig zag stitching over the edges

2. Stitch lenght 1 mm width 6-8 mm
3. At least 3 pcs 6-8 mm zig zag stitching
X Direction of Cloth drive
7. First sew the hole edges tightly on the patch and then make a couple of sews crosswise
over the patch, then sew outer edges.

6.5.4. Symptoms of leaking diaphragm
Observe the condition of the diaphragms continuously. In case the consumption of pressing
air has increased and it flows into the chamber even at the end of pressing stage, change
the damaged diaphragm immediately.
There is a sensor (S6531) in the pressing manifold for detecting moisture (slurry or water)
DOC23877 Rev. B
6.5.5. Risks of the leaking diaphragm
Observe the diaphragms. They must remain undamaged. A damaged diaphragm results in
a wet cake, and the solids are escaping into the pressing water wearing down the press
water piping and pump.
6.5.6. Locationing of the leaking diaphragm
Wear safety goggles when searching for a leaking diaphragm.

Do not open the feed pipe when the plate pack is closed.
A defective diaphragm is localized as follows: when the plate pack is open, one filtrate hose
at a time is removed from the filter plate. Then the plate pack is closed and sealed. After
this, diaphragm pressing is started. It is possible to locate the defective diaphragm by
checking, if water comes out from the filtrate outlet of the filter plate. The defective
diaphragm is located above this filter plate.

Replacement and adjustment of slide pieces
Wearing of the slide pieces causes the plate to move in its longitudinal axis direction, and
the alignment of the filtrate collectors changes. As a consequence of this the collector lines
begin to leak damaging the collector seals.
Observe the slide pieces for possible wear, and adjust when necessary. When there is no
adjustment tolerance left, replace the slide pieces as follows:
- At first unscrew the fixing nut. Then remove the eccentric sleeve and slide piece
support. Finally remove the slide piece.
- Check the filter plate alignment and insert a new slide piece. Install the slide piece
support and eccentric sleeve so that the maximum adjustment tolerance remains for the
slide piece wearing. Hold the adjusting lever of the eccentric sleeve with a key (wrench)
and tighten the nut.

DOC23877 Rev. B
6.9. Cloth conveyor and tensioning device

The equipment should be inspected twice a year.
6.9.1. Cloth driving
The filter is equipped with a seam 2

detector. The driving system
"positions" the seam automatically. An
encoder (2) attached to the roller
measures the length of the cloth travel.
The cloth is stopped by means of the
seam detector switch (S6332) and
encoder (B6331) (2). The discharge
length (plates) must be defined so, that
the filter is discharged completely. It is
recommendable for the cloth to travel
forward at least three plate lengths.
The seam may stop on any roller, as
well as in the conveyor unit's area.
Check that the clipper seam finds its
1
right position on the guide roller, i.e.
outside the sealing surface.
1. Tracking roller
2. Encoder
It is forbidden to stop the cloth clipper seam in between the

sealing surfaces of the plate pack.
6.9.2. Automatic cloth tracking
Normally the filter cloth moves in the plate pack without crossing the guide roller edges.
However, in case the cloth tends to be directed towards either of the edges, the automatic
cloth tracking brings the cloth back into the center position.
The cloth tracking takes place by moving the left end of the tracking roller in the cloth
conveyor unit up or down. The roller moves according to the signals of the cloth edge
position transmitter B6503 (angle transmitter) and cloth tracking cylinder position transmitter
B6504 according to the automatic control operation. Tracking roller is moved up/down by
means of hydraulic cylinder HC4. This cylinder has built in position feedback
(potentiometer). Automatic tracking control can be turned on/off from OIU configuration
screen (“Automatic cloth tracking”). When the automatic cloth tracking is off, the tracking
cylinder can be run from Hand Held unit.
DOC23877 Rev. B
The position of the cloth right edge is actively followed by means of wheel fixed sensor
B6503 (placed below the tracking roller). The effective range is +20°…-20° (+ 30…–30
mm). The adjustment range has been divided into 1000 parts; Left edge 1000, middle 500
and the right 0.
If the cloth tracking device can‟t keep the cloth in the center position, and the alarm switch
is activated for a long time (5 sec delay), the limit switch (S6838A or S6839A) gives an

6.9.3. Cloth tensioning device
The change in the cloth length that takes place during the opening of the plate pack and
cloth travel is compensated by means of tensioning device. A torque brought by means of
hydraulic motor tightens a pair of chains fixed to the tensioning roller.
Observe the pressure used by the tensioning device motor and compare it to the pressure
used during the start-up. Raising the pressure increases the torque and lowering the
pressure decreases it. Tracking a slackened cloth is not possible.
Inspection and maintenance measures to be taken:
- Condition and tightening of chains

- Sprockets
- Position of the tensioning roller (must be horizontal)
- Hydraulic motor coupling
- Clam wheels
DOC23877 Rev. B
6.10. Rollers
6.10.1. Replacing the roller bearing of the plate
The plate‟s roller bearing will be replaced with its housing.
Proceed as follows:
1. Slacken the cloth on the roller, where the damaged bearing is located.
2. Remove the locking screws (1), 4 pcs and a plug (2). Remove the roller end plate
locking screw (3) (only on the other end of roller).
3. Fix a bolt (size M16 x 100) with a bushing into the plug drilling.
4. Pull the housing out by tightening the screw.
Install a new housing by using a soft hammer or use installation tool bolt (4). Fix bolt into
the roller end and then install bearing housing by rotating the nut clockwise on the bolt.
Both removing and installation tools are included to Outotec maintenance tools.
DOC23877 Rev. B
Auxiliary drive roller, motor side (fig. 1):
1. Remove the motor and make sure that the weight of the motor does not burden the
hydraulic hoses.
2. Loosen the locking screw of the roller shaft coupling half and remove the coupling half.
3. Remove the coupling„s locking screws (4 pcs).
4. Fix the M12 threaded rods (1) (2 pcs) into the holes of the housing.
5. Use e.g. U-beam (2) and pull the housing out by tightening the nuts (3).
Install a new housing (Fig. 2) by means of pipe (1) and a soft hammer or, as in the drawing,
by means of a pipe (diameter min 75 / max 130) (1), M12 threaded rod (3) and M12 nut (4).
6.10.2. Replacing the plate roller
DANGER

cause serious injury or death. Make sure that there are no
persons or foreign objects in between the moving parts

cause serious injury or death. Always keep the EMERGENCY-
STOP button pushed down (for preventing the manual and
remote starts), when the activation functions of the filter are
not necessary.
DOC23877 Rev. B
Make sure that the working conditions are safe. Inform the
operating personel when maintaining the unit, and close the
manual valves in the process piping.
Wear proper protective clothing.
Note! The filter plate roller weighs about 150 kg, so a crane is required for the work.
Note! Because the uppermost rollers of the plate pack are located quite high, extreme
caution is needed when replacing them. Use a lifting platform to guarantee safe
working conditions.
The roller is located at the end of the filter plate in a "loop" formed by the filter cloth. There
are two possible ways to get the roller out.
DOC23877 Rev. B
The first one is to drive the cloth so that the clipper seam stops at the roller to be changed.
The seam is opened and the roller can be changed.
Another and more recommendable possibility is to gather so much loose cloth at the roller,
which is to be changed by using the "extra" cloth in the tensioning device. The cloth can be
drawn over the end of the roller to either side of the filter plate. Proceed as follows:
1. Stop the filter, and drive the plate pack completely open by means of handheld unit.
Drive the locking pins into their holes. Refer to Operation instructions section if needed.
2. Slacken the cloth. Refer to paragraph Slackening the cloth if needed.
3. Remove scrapers.
- Roller scraper: Loosen the locking screws (5) of the lever (2) at the end of the scraper
(1). Unfasten the adjusting lever (2). Turn the scraper (1) so that the knife of the scraper
is outside of the roller fixing lug. Move the scraper laterally and release it from the fixing
lugs.
- Cloth scraper: Loosen the locking nuts (6) and screws (7). Remove the cotters (10)
and remove the scraper.
4. The slack cloth is drawn up to the roller, which is to be changed and moved on the side
of the plate. Move the cloth on either side on top of the plate pack, so that the overhead
crane hook can be lowered down to the level of the roller to be changed.
DOC23877 Rev. B
6.10.3. Drive rollers
The moving of the cloth is hydraulically controlled. The auxiliary drive rollers are located in
the plate pack. The rotation speed of the drive rollers is synchronized with hydraulics.
- Hydraulic motor pressures

- Hydraulic motor couplings
- Roller bearings
- Lubrication of main drive roller bearings
6.10.4. Centering roller
The extreme positions of the roller are adjusted by means of limit switches.
- Fixing and function of the limit switches

- Checking and lubrication of the adjusting screw
- Fixing of the worm gear
- Worm gear oil quality and quantity
6.10.5. Replacing the guide roller
1. Use lifting belts for lifting.

2. Hang the roller, loosen the side guide rails, unfasten the roller brackets by removing the
bolts (12) and the pins (11). Lift the roller off (with brackets). Refer to former figure
3. Provide a firm enough plane for the cake chute at the end of the tensioning device on
which the rollers can be placed.
4. Remove the cake chute off from its free end. A separate lifting platform is not
necessary, as the crane can freely move in the crosswise direction of the filter.
5. Install a new roller in opposite order.
DOC23877 Rev. B
6.10.6. Replacing the auxiliary drive roller
1. Proceed with the cloth and the scraper as instructed with a normal roller.
2. At first remove the hydraulic motor from the auxiliary drive roller. The hydraulic hoses
may stay fixed to the motor, but it must be supported in a way that the motor does not
hang on the hoses.
3. Fix the lifting belts to the both ends of the roller and lift the roller lightly up. After this, the
fixing screws of the roller lug are removed and then the roller can be removed.
4. Install a new roller in opposite order.
Replacing the auxiliary drive roller without removing the hydraulic motor
In case the hydraulic motor is kept fixed to the auxiliary drive roller, observe the following
points:
1. Make sure that the hydraulic unit has been stopped and that there is no pressure in the
pipeline. De-pressurization can be done by choosing HM09 on the hand-held unit and
pressing S6725 and S6723 in turns a few times.
2. Before removing the hydraulic hoses from the auxiliary drive roller, make sure that the
hoses and the motor's openings are marked.
3. The hoses can now be removed. Plug the couplings on both the hoses and the motor.
4. Lifting and replacing the roller is performed according to previous chapter.
After replacing the roller, the filter cloth must be layed back in the middle of the rollers. The
loose cloth must be drawn back to the tensioning device by choosing HM08 of the manual
controlling device and by pressing S6723. In case the cloth loop is in the lower part of the
filter, it may be necessary to draw the cloth upwards by hands a few plate lengths before
the tensioning device is able to tighten the cloth.
DOC23877 Rev. B
6.11. Cloth wash spray nozzles

Flat spray nozzles (Delavan AZM 5.5) are used as the cloth wash nozzles. The direction of
the spray can be adjusted by turning the nozzle with a screwdriver. Adjust the sprays so,
that they cover the whole width of the cloth, but do not cross each other.
The intersecting angle is adjusted by turning the spray pipe. At first loosen the L-couplings
and tensioning flanges on the side of the filter. Then turn the pipe. The new position is
locked by tightening the L-couplings and tensioning flanges.

6.15. Spare parts

6.15.1. Storing instructions for rubber parts
The properties of vulcanized rubber parts change during storing. Careful storing minimizes
the damages. Pay attention to the following:
- Temperature; The storing temperature should not exceed +25°C, preferably below
+15°C.
- Humidity; Avoid high moisture contents in the surrounding air. Prevent water from
condensing on products.
- Light; Avoid ultraviolet light. Protect the products against straight sunlight.
- Oxygen and ozone; Remove all equipment developing ozone from the room where
products are stored. Minimize the store room ventilation.
- Deformation; Store rubber and polyurethane parts (diaphragms, plate seals, rollers,
scrapers) straight (not rolled), this would enable them free from tension.
- Solutions and vapours from solvents; Keep the rubber parts off the chemical effect of
solutions and solvent vapours.
- Stock circulation; Try to keep the storing time of the rubber parts as short as possible.
Always use the material which has been longest in stock first.
In addition, take into consideration the following when storing the rubber parts:
- coming into contact with certain metals

- compatibility of different rubber qualities
- storing methods used.
For further information refer to standard ISO 2230 and the standard proposal SFS 3553 or
contact the manufacturer of the rubber parts.
As for the rest, we refer you to the guidelines of the DIN 7716 standard "Caoutchouc and
rubber products -requirements for storage, cleaning and maintenance" and, in particular, to
par. 3 and 4 of the DIN 7716 standard if the storage will last longer than 6 months. If these
prescriptions and requirements are complied with, the usability of the membranes will not
undergo any substantial change within a 2 years' storage time.
In case of a longer storage time, the membranes must be additionally protected against
damages by strong tarpaulins.

8. OPTIONAL DEVICES B691*
8.1. Load cell module

8.1.1. Equipment description
Load cell transducers are constructed of stainless steel. This figure illustrates a typical load
cell configuration. The transducers are made to operate in industrial, wash down
environments, require no periodic maintenance, and are immune to electrical noise due to
high level output voltage. Load cell transducers wire to signal processors, which convert the
transducer’s voltage outputs to weight measurement.
NOTE: B91* is B691* in the filter No. PF1033
1. Load cell transducer 5. Field bus cabling to other

2. Terminal box (in filter) terminal boxes
3. Control cabin 6. I/O modules (resistor bridge input
4. Field bus cabling terminals for weighing control)
DOC23877 Rev. B
Load cells transducers will be installed between the filter and customers foundation with
mounting kits. Some of filter may have separate weighing beam between the filter and the
load cell mounting kit in order to stabilize load to load cells.
Load cell transducer with mounting kit

DOC23877 Rev. B
8.1.2. Hardware installation
To achieve the most accurate weight measurement from the load cell transducers, consider
the following factors before installation:
- The surfaces where the base plates bolt down must be flat and horizontal with less than
one degree of slope in any direction. Besides, the surface must be clean and smooth.
- The foundation on which a filter rests must be of concrete or steel so that it does not
allow excessive movement when the weight in the filter changes.
- Shock loads can damage load cells. If the load cell mounting kit can be struck by
forklifts, trucks, etc., install protective barriers or stops to prevent vehicles from hitting
the mounting kit.
Process control system with beams
Process control system without beams

DOC23877 Rev. B
Important installation notes
- During filter installation do not put all filter load on one transducer.
- Position load cell transducers so that the transducer cable cannot be snagged or
chafed, and can be easily routed to the terminal box.
- In case you need to weld near to the load cell, be sure the ground path is not trough the
load cell. The ground cable should be close to the welding, in between the welding and
the load cell, i.e. the welding current can not be in any conditions run trough the load
cell. Also be careful with the heat. The load cell must be always cool enough to touch.
Further, it is recommendable to disconnect the wires from the sensor, to avoid a ground
loop via the electronics.
- Supporting structures of the pipelines connected to the filter should also carry the load
of the filter’s pipelines. After the erection work, the filter’s pipelines are released from
the filter to stay on the supports of the pipelines connected to filter. Also, other vertical
supports fixed to the filter, which may affect the process control system, have to be
replaced by new supporting structures and disconnected from the filter.
8.1.3. Operation instructions
The process control system can be separately activated to control FILTRATION,

PRESSING and AIR DRYING stages. If the system is not activated, stages are controlled
by preset time.
To activate the system to control the filtration stage, set parameter “MAX FILLING WEIGHT
(kg)” in parameter screen No. 3. If parameter is Zero, control is not on. Similar parameters
are optional for pressing and air drying stages, which are normally not used.
When the process control is activated, filtration (filling the chambers) is controlled by time,
weight or maximum pumping pressure. Whatever reaches the set value first, stops filling.
The weight setpoint is set into parameter “MAX FILLING WEIGHT (kg)”.
When the process control is activated, pressing is controlled by time and changing speed of
the filter weight. Whatever reaches the set value first, stops pressing. The weight changing
speed setpoint is set into parameter “WEIGHT CHANGE IN FILTRATION (KG/S)”. Note
that this is optional and normally not used.
When the process control is activated, air drying is controlled by time and changing speed
of the filter weight. Whatever reaches the set value first, will stop air drying. The weight
changing speed setpoint is set into parameter “DRYING STOP WEIGHT CHANGE (kg/s)”.
Note that this is optional and normally not used.

WELDING PROCESS The following welding procedures are used at Outotec: electrode
(111), MAG (135), TIG (141) (ISO 857-1). The weldings are carried
out according to welding class C at the minimum (SFS-EN ISO
5817). A welding co-ordinator is responsible for welding (IWE 00132
FIN) and he has full authority over any necessary action. Welders
competence is based on (SFS-EN 287-1). Welding instructions have
been accepted according to SFS-EN ISO 15614-1, SFS-EN ISO
15610, SFS-EN ISO 15611. Weldings are checked visually and the
parts in plate pack which are in contact with slurry are tested for

FILTER CONSTRUCTION
The filtration elements (i.e. plates) of the PF filter are placed

horizontally between two pressure plates. During filtration the plate
pack is pressed together, and the pack is opened for cake discharge.
The plate pack is opened and closed by means of hydraulic

cylinders.
The endless filter cloth zigzags between the filter plates, which
results in the filtered cake being formed on either side of the cloth.
The filter cloth is thus automatically back flushed and any particles
adhering to it or lodged in the filter cloth from the previous filtration
cycle are washed out when filtering on the reverse side of the cloth.
The cloth transports the cakes off the filter and, at the same time, the
cloth is cleaned on both sides by high pressure water sprays. The
cloth moving device is driven by the hydraulic motor which actuates
the cloth drive roller. When the filter plates are opening and closing,
the tension of the filter cloth is maintained at a constant level by a
simple cloth tensioning device. The cloth tensioning device does not
operate when the plate pack is closed.
Slurry is fed into sealed filter chambers through the distribution

piping. Wash water and drying air are fed in through the same pipe.
The feed pipe is emptied through a drain valve on completion of the
feed pumping cycle.
The operation of the filter is controlled automatically by the operation

unit containing the programmable logics and indicator lamps for all
operations.
The automatically controlled actuators for the pinch valves are

hydraulic operated and for the ball valves pneumatic.
PKn 2nd August, 2011 10 (10)
OPERATION 1. Filtration
When the filter plate pack has been closed, slurry is pumped into the
filter and fed simultaneously into each filter chamber through the
distribution pipes. Filtrate flows through the cloth into the filtrate
collection area, then out through the discharge pipe. The filtered
material is collected on the cloth surface and forms the filter cake.
2. Pressing I
Pressing air flows in behind the rubber diaphragm. The diaphragm

presses the cake against the cloth surface, thus pressing the filtrate
from the cake through the cloth.
3. Washing (optional)
Wash liquid is pumped into the filter chambers in the same way as
slurry. As the liquid fills the filtration chamber, the diaphragm is lifted
up and air is forced out from the upper side of the diaphragm. The
wash liquid flows into the discharge pipes after passing through the
filter cake and the cloth.
4. Pressing II (optional)
The wash liquid remaining in the chamber after the washing stage is
pressed out of the cake as in stage two above.
5. Drying
The final drying of the cake is accomplished with compressed air.

The air which enters through the distribution pipe fills the filter
chamber, raises the diaphragm and forces the pressing air above the
diaphragm out of the filter. The air flow through the cake reduces its
moisture content to the optimum and, at the same time, empties the
filtrate chamber.
6. Cake discharge
When the air drying has been completed, the plate pack is opened
and the cloth moving mechanism started. The filter cake on the cloth
is discharged from both sides of the filter.
