SAFETY STATEMENT
No personnel, authorized or unauthorized, should depend wholly on safety devices to prevent

accidents. Safety features and devices are meant only to supplement proper, careful, and safe
practices on the part of the individual.
WARNING: If the safety procedures given in this manual are compromised

or ignored, severe personal injury or death may occur. Safety
practices accepted by the industry, as well as those dictated by
the responsible regulatory agencies must be followed.
PERSONNEL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Use extreme care when working around rotating or other

moving parts, to prevent injuries to yourself or others. Also,
anyone entering the area of this equipment must be wearing
adequate safety equipment such as safety glasses, safety shoes,
hard hat, etc. Loose fitting clothing, uncovered long hair, or
jewelry must not be worn when working around rotating or
moving equipment.
WARNING: Keep foreign objects, hands, etc. away from moving parts. Do
not operate this equipment if guards have been removed, or are
damaged. All guards and safety devices must be properly
installed and functional before operating this equipment.
WARNING: Lock-out power from electrical equipment using a manual

Rev. 5 01A20
WARNING: Experience with and understanding of this equipment is

essential for the safe disassembly and repair of the equipment.
Therefore, in case of a question on how to safely proceed,
contact your FLSmidth representative immediately.
WARNING: The fumes given off during welding and cutting can be
injurious to the operator's health. Some fumes, such as those
produced when working with Zinc; Cadmium and painted
surfaces can be toxic.
HEARING PROTECTION
WARNING: Use hearing protection anytime there is exposure to noise.
Noise is a deceptive hazard. Workers can be exposed to considerable amounts of noise and not
be aware that they may have suffered permanent injury. Noise intensity exceeding an average
of 90 decibels over an 8-hour period can cause hearing loss. This intensity exists in most
industrial and processing plants. Noise also increases a worker’s fatigue and stress level. It
presents additional hazards when the worker is unable to clearly hear instructions or warning
signals.
The selection and wearing (properly) of adequate hearing protection should be taken seriously
by personnel operating and maintaining this equipment.
1. Know the types of hearing protection required in your work area. The two basic types
of hearing protection are earplugs and ear muffs. In extreme noise-exposure areas, both
earplugs and ear muffs are recommended. Always use hearing protection in areas
where it is specifically required by plant procedures.
2. Select the hearing protection that is most effective.
3. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and storage of reusable ear
protection.
Before Operation, Maintenance or Repair of this Equipment:
Read and understand the instructions in this manual.
Rev. 5 01A20
As with any other mechanical equipment, there are safety concerns associated with the
operation and maintenance of FLSmidth supplied equipment. It is absolutely essential,
therefore, that operators, maintenance personnel, and supervisors be instructed in safe working
practices
Only personnel who have been trained in safety procedures for this equipment should be
allowed around or in the area of the FLSmidth equipment or its auxiliaries. Training can be
done by your own safety personnel or it can be conducted by an FLSmidth representative at
your request.

PARTS INSPECTION
Carefully inspect all parts for wear and damage and replace as necessary. Refer to the following
instructions:
1. Check the gear teeth for the following:
a. ABRASIVE WEAR: This will show at random spacing across the teeth. It is
normally caused by dirt or other foreign material in the lube oil.
b. SCORING: This will show up as vertical scratches and/or grooves running from
the base of the tooth to the top of the tooth. It results from improper lubrication.
c. PITTING: It is evident in large or numerous pits in the gear teeth. Note that
small pits may occur during run-in of a new gear, but these will smooth out as
the gear wears in. This is caused by over-load on the gear or poor lubrication.
d. GALLING: This condition appears on the gear teeth as numerous deep grooves.
It's caused by overload of the gear, incorrect lubricant used or misalignment.
2. Check the worm shaft and bushing (bearing housing) for scoring and wear.
3. Check the bearings for pitting, roughness of rotation and scoring.
4. Since oil seals are subject to deterioration, they should be replaced with new seals.
Note: All parts and housing must be kept clean. Dirt, metal clips, etc. left in the
housings or other parts will cause wear and other damage.
REASSEMBLY
Note: All parts should be thoroughly washed in solvent then coated with a light oil or grease
before reassembly. The oil seal should be replaced with a new seal.
Rev. 3 04B24
MCN2012-0037 57
1. Set the key (15) in place in the trunnion. Then set the gear (14) on the trunnion in line
with the key. Press the gear on the trunnion using a press as shown in Figure 15. The
gear hub must contact the drive housing.
Note: It will assist installation to expand the gear hub by heating with a rose bud tip.
Rev. 3 04B24
MCN2012-0037 58
CHECK for clearance between the gear and top of the key. If clearance is more than .050

9-2012 TRUNNION BEARING MAINTENANCE CSP0000703-01J
MCN2012-0306 63
1. Remove the Cake Wash Frame from the tank. Be sure to properly disconnect all
connections prior to lifting of the frame.
2. Remove the upper bearing halves from the filter drive and non-drive bearing and remove
the drum. Refer to the instructions for lifting and temporary support of the drum on a
following page.
Note: A filter drum can be lifted off the trunnions for bearing maintenance, by
"floating" the drum. After the upper bearing halves have been removed, close off
all tank outlets. Then fill the tank with water until the drum is lifted off the
bearings.
3. Remove the lower bearing liners when the drum is removed. Do not disturb the drive
housing, otherwise it will require realignment.
4. Remove the grease fittings from the bearings. Then thoroughly clean the bearings with
solvent and clean out all grease passages by working a wire through them.
5. Installing one complete bearing liner at a time (top and bottom) place a liner in position
on the lower bearing half and line up the liner flush with the thrust face of the bearing
(side facing the drum).
6. Referring to Figure 18, place the retainer plates on the recessed surfaces of the bearing.
Next, insert the upper liner in the upper bearing half, then place the bearing half over the
roll pins and in position on the lower bearing. Install the capscrews, but do not tighten.
Note: The retainer must be set back of the inside diameter (wearing face) of the liner by
1/16". Trim (grind) the inner end of the retainer, if necessary, to obtain this
clearance.
Also, make sure the liner is flush with the thrust face of the bearing.
7. Draw up the capscrews hand tight and evenly until the liner is tight against the bearing.
Make sure the liner is in complete contact with the bearing by tapping along the full
length of the liner, using a rawhide or wooden mallet and listening for a metallic ring,
which means the liner is contacting the bearing. A dull hollow sound indicates the liner
is not in contact with the bearing.
Tighten the capscrews to 440-ft. lbs. (lubricated).
8. Drill the grease holes through the liners from the outside (grease fitting side) of the
bearing.
Rev. 1 04B28
MCN2012-0306 64
9. Remove the capscrews and remove the upper bearing housing. Run wires through the
grease passages to make sure they are clean.
10. Install the grease fittings and prime the lube passages.
11. Coat the new liners thoroughly with the lubricant recommended for the trunnion
bearings, referring to the lubrication instructions.
12. Reinstall the drum.
13. Install the upper bearing housing, using the capscrews and lock washers specified.
Note: Tighten the capscrews to 440-ft. lbs. (lubricated).

Drum Lifting Instructions
CAUTION: Check the weight of the drum as given in the certified general
arrangement drawing to be sure the hoist equipment and rigging
have the capacity to support the load.
1. Make up skids or supporting devices on which to set the drum. Cover the trunnion and
drive end shaft surface of the device with rubber belting to prevent damage to the bearing
contact surfaces of the trunnion and drive end shaft.
WARNING: Make sure the drum supporting devices are located on flat
solid ground and will support the weight of the drum. Do
not allow the drum deck to contact the ground.
2. A crawl beam is recommended, as shown in Figure 19. With this arrangement, the cables
pull vertically, thus preventing them from pressing against and damaging the end rings.
It also assists in balancing the drum and allows adjustments to be made relatively easy to
accomplish this.

2 – Locate cables as close to drum as possible
Note: The angle of the suspension cables (above the crawl beam) must not exceed 40o
from the vertical centerline.
3. First, apply tension to the cables, but do not lift the drum. If the cables contact the drum
heads, place blocks of wood between the cables and the upper rims of the drum to
prevent damage to the end rings.

9-2012 FILTER VALVE MAINTENANCE CSP0000703-01K
MCN2012-0306 67
The filter valve assembly is comprised of two basic parts: (1) the stationary valve itself and (2) a
rotating, replaceable wear plate. See Valve Assembly drawing.
The wear plate, which bolts to the end of the drum trunnion, has a projecting valve stem that
supports and centers the valve. The valve is held in position against the wear plate by spring
loaded take-up studs.

2- Customer Piping 5- Valve Body Assembly
3- Take Up Spring Assembly 6- Wear Plate Assembly
MAINTENANCE
Inspect the valve daily during operation, checking for excessive leakage between the valve and
wear plate. Some valve leakage normally occurs when the vacuum is OFF and the drum is being
washed or rotated in liquid. This leakage is acceptable and should not be confused with that
which might occur during operation.
Rev. 1 05B16
MCN2012-0306 68
Inspect the multiflex connectors periodically, but at least once a week, for signs of leakage or
deterioration. Replace as necessary. Also check for leakage or deterioration. Replace as
necessary. Also check for leakage at the ends of the connectors as occurs with loose hose
clamps.
Make sure the connectors are properly aligned and not stretched or bent from their natural form.
REPLACEMENT VALVE
Check the valve to make certain the bridge setting is identical to the setting of the valve being
replaced or identical with the drawing of a new bridge setting specifically requested. See
"Adjusting" procedures below.
The valve automatically controls the entire filtering cycle, simultaneously regulating the
functions of pick-up, dewatering and shutting off vacuum for discharge.
The control of these functions is accomplished by the division of the valve into sections or
compartments, while the exact timing and duration of the functions are regulated by the location
and size of bridge blocks within the circular opening of the valve's inner face.
The blocks are located over and in contact with the various compartment division ribs and fitted
into a bridge ring drainage channel machined into the inner face of the valve. The bridges are
installed at the factory for the prescribed functions of the filter.
Due to varying conditions occurring from one application to another, sometimes it is necessary to
alter the timing and/or duration of one or more functions in the filtering cycle. These alterations
can be made either by changing the position of the valve or by changing the bridge setting, as
covered below:
ADJUSTING THE VALVE POSITION
The timing of the filtering cycle may be advanced or retarded slightly by altering the position of
the valve head. This is done by loosening the spring loaded take-up studs, then using the valve
adjusting rod to rotate the valve. See Valve Installation drawing and Figure 20.
ADJUSTING THE BRIDGE SETTING
When it is necessary to change the duration as well as the timing of the various functions of the
filtering cycle, bridge blocks can be removed, added or moved. Although no recommendations
are made for specific bridge settings, the following instructions cover the procedure for changing
the blocks:
Rev. 1 05B16
MCN2012-0306 69
The bridges are adjusted as follows (see Valve Body and Bridge Setting Assembly drawing and
Figure 21).
1. Follow the reverse procedure of the valve installation instructions to remove the valve
from the filter.
2. Place the valve on a clean flat surface with its inner face up. Mark the surface of the
valve lightly in pencil to show the revised location of the bridge blocks.
3. Loosen the setscrews holding the blocks which are to be removed or moved.
4. When a block is moved, tap it on a flat side - never an edge - until the block has been
shifted in its bridge ring groove to the new position.
Use a wooden or plastic mallet. Never use a metal hammer or tool in this operation, as it
can damage the face of the valve or bridge block, preventing a proper seat against the
wear plate during operation.
After positioning the bridge, tap it lightly on top to make sure its face is flush with the face of the
valve and it is fully seated against the cast rib of the valve.

Rev. 1 05B16
MCN2012-0306 71
Figure 22
1- Valve Body 2- Set Screws
5. If the bridges are shifted or new ones added so that no setscrews are found opposite the
bridges, it will be necessary to drill and tap the valve head for setscrews. Remove the
block before tapping.
6. When a new bridge block is installed, it will be necessary to grind its surface so that it fits
perfectly flush with the surface of the valve. See the procedures for grinding the filter
valve surface
7. Tighten all setscrews holding blocks in position. All setscrews, whether in use or not,
must be left in the valve body in order to prevent leakage.
8. Clean the valve and wear plate thoroughly as described in the valve installation
instructions. Be sure there are no chips or pieces of foreign material on the wearing faces
which might score the surfaces. Then grease both surfaces liberally just prior to
installation.
9. Install the valve according to the installation instructions.
IMPORTANT: Replacement valves should be checked to make sure the bridge setting is
identical to the setting of the valve being replaced or identical with the drawing
of a new bridge setting specifically requested.
Rev. 1 05B16
MCN2012-0306 72
VALVE LEAKAGE
If leakage occurring between the valve head and wear plate cannot be stopped by adjusting the
valve take-up springs, it usually indicates that both the valve head and wear plate require
refacing. This work can be performed by grinding or with a lathe, depending on the extent of
wear or scoring.
If, after close examination, it appears that grinding will correct the difficulty, grind the surfaces
using No. 60 Emery mixed with oil. Grind both faces together until they seat perfectly, then
deburr the edges with a fine grade emery cloth.
If the surfaces are badly scored or damaged, first take a light cut off each surface with a lathe,
then grind them together as described in the procedure above. Remove all burrs, as instructed
above.
Note: Do not remove the bridge blocks.
Once a perfect seat has been achieved, thoroughly clean the valve and wear plate as directed in
the installation instructions. Then double check the bridge setting to be sure it was not changed
during the refacing. See the bridge setting drawing to be sure.
Before the wear plate is installed on the trunnion, thoroughly clean the face of the trunnion (pipe
plate) to remove old sealant. Install the wear plate and valve as directed in the installation
instructions.
If there are any questions regarding these instructions, contact FLSmidth before proceeding with
the refacing.

9-2012 AGITATOR ASSEMBLY MAINTENANCE CSP0000703-01L
MCN2012-0306 73
Refer to Tank and Agitator Assembly drawings.
INSPECTION
1. Periodically inspect the agitator mechanism for smoothness of operation. Watch for
clearance of the connecting rods.
2. Inspect the agitator drive referring to the manufacturer's instructions in the Accessory
Equipment section of this manual.
3. Periodically check drive v-belt tension and adjust, as required.
CONNECTING ROD BEARING REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the connecting rod by loosening the setscrews and pulling the connecting rod
bearings off the wrist pins.
2. Remove the pin and unscrew the bearing assembly.
Note: Entire bearing assembly must be replaced.
3. Screw new bearings onto the connecting rods. Secure grease fitting with spring and
retainer locking plunger. Set the connecting rod to the length shown on the Connecting
Rod Assembly drawing.
Note: The grease fitting in each connecting rod bearing serves not only as a means for
lubrication, but also it helps secure a locking plunger that prevents rotation of the
bearing outer race. This locking feature is shown in Figure 23. The grease fitting
locks the hollow pin against the bearing outer race.
When the original grease fitting is replaced, make sure the threaded end of the fitting is
exactly the same size and length as the original fitting. This is important since the fitting
secures the locking plunger. Also be sure the plunger is in place before the fitting is
installed.
4. Drill a ¼" hole through the new bearing hub and install the pin.
5. Grind smooth any burrs and the projection of the pin.
6. Reinstall the connecting rod and lubricate the bearing. Check alignment.

CRANKSHAFT BEARING REPLACEMENT
1. Release belt tension and remove the drive v-belt.
2. Loosen the capscrews securing the crank throws to the crankshaft and remove the crank
throws.
3. Remove the bolts and nuts holding the crankshaft bearings.
4. Pull the crankshaft until it clears either the reducer furnished or the end of the tank, then
tilt the crankshaft away from the tank and remove it.
5. Thoroughly clean and check each bearing for roughness and side play. Replace defective
bearings.
Rev. 1 06D29
MCN2012-0306 75
6. Install the crankshaft following the reverse procedure above.
7. Align crankshaft. The crankshaft must be parallel with the drum. Measure at both ends
of the filter from the trunnion bearing to the crankshaft. These measurements must be the
same if the crankshaft is in alignment. Adjust the crankshaft bearings to correct
alignment.
8. Mount the connecting rod to the crank throw.
9. Check connecting rod and crankshaft alignment by slowly turning the agitator drive by
hand through one complete cycle of the rake. If the mechanism operates smoothly with
no binding, alignment will not be necessary.
10. If a connecting rod binds, it is probably bent. Remove the rod by loosening the setscrews
in the bearings and pulling the connecting rod bearings off the wrist pins. Remove the
bearings before straightening the rod. Be sure to secure the setscrews on installation.
AGITATOR PIVOT BEARING REPLACEMENT
Reference Drawing: Tank and Agitator Assembly
1. A come-along placed on top of the trunnion should be used to support the agitator during
the replacement.
The come-along cable must be passed under the agitator hub and back up to connect with
the hook on the come-along.
Note: If a come-along is not available, remove the tank cleanout covers. Place blocks
through the cleanout holes and under the agitator rakes to support the agitator.
2. Disconnect the agitator drive connecting rod at the agitator end. This will release any
tension on the pivot bearing.
3. Loosen the bearing setscrew and remove the bearing hardware, and bearing. It may be
necessary to pry the bearing loose. Examine the bearing for roughness of rotation and
discard, if necessary.
4. Inspect the pivot shaft bearing surface. If scoring or other damage exists, remove with
emery cloth or replace the shaft.
Rev. 1 06D29
MCN2012-0306 76
5. If removed, install the cover plate seal and cover plate. Then slide the bearing on the
shaft. Work the bearing by hand as required to seat it against the cover plate and secure.
6. Attach the connecting rods to the agitator, then remove the come-along cable from
around the drum trunnion and agitator. If blocking was used under the agitator rakes for

9-2004 AGITATOR REDUCER MAINTENANCE
MCN2004-0434 INSTRUCTIONS 78
Refer to the Agitator Drive Reducer Assembly drawing. Loaded seals are provided at each end of
the gear shaft and at the worm drive shaft. The bearings and gears are oil bath lubricated.
CARE OF STORED REDUCER
Although the reducer is run with special lubricant at the factory, if it will be stored more than a
month it should be lubricated and run about five minutes once each month to protect against rust
and maintain operating condition.
REPLACEMENT OF SEALS
The seals will not require replacement under normal conditions, but in the event of leakage they
should be replaced as follows:
REMOVAL:
1. Remove the sheave or dismount the reducer, whichever is necessary to replace the seal.
Drain the oil when replacing the worm seal.
2. Remove the seal with a seal puller, using care to prevent damage to the shaft.
Installation:
1. Check the shaft to be sure the surface over which the new seal will pass is smooth and
free of corrosion. Correct as necessary.
2. Apply light oil to the shaft and sealing lip of the seal, then coat the outer surface of the
seal with a non-hardening sealing compound.
3. Cover the keyway with tape or shim stock to protect the seal against cuts. Then install
the seal with the lip facing inside, using a tubular driver. Note that the spring element is
also facing inside.
4. Lubricate as required and remount the sheave or reducer. Then start the reducer and
check for leakage.
PARTS REPLACEMENT
Should it ever become necessary to disassemble the reducer for parts replacement, refer to the
Agitator Drive Reducer Assembly drawing. Proceed as follows:
Rev. 1 06D30
Disassembly:
1. Drain the oil and remove the reducer from the filter, using eye bolts where the installation
permits.
2. Remove the sheave from the worm shaft.
3. Remove the capscrews from the gear end caps, remove the caps and gear from the
housing. If the caps cannot be removed easily, it may be necessary to tap the gear end
with a soft brass or rawhide hammer in order to force the bearing out of the reducer
housing. Carefully remove the worm gear from the unit being sure to proceed cautiously
to avoid damage to the gear teeth.
Care should be taken to avoid the damage to the seals when sliding the bearing caps off
the shaft. Keep the shims with the bearing caps so that they may be used upon
reassembly of the unit.
Examine the seals and, if their replacement is deemed necessary, remove from the caps.
4. Check the worm gear bearings for roughness of rotation or excessive side movement.
Remove the bearings only if there is indication of these conditions, using a puller.
5. Inspect the worm gear teeth for wear that may have destroyed the original tooth shape
and for chips or other damage. Replace if necessary. With damaged or worn bronze
gears, remove the worm gear rim.
6. Remove the worm shaft bearing end caps. Keep the shims with the caps. Use caution in
removing the open end bearing cap to avoid damage to the seal.
7. Remove the worm and bearing assembly. To free the worm from the housing, it may be
necessary to strike the end of the worm with a brass hammer. Then pull the worm from
the housing.
8. If it is determined that the worm shaft seal requires replacement, remove the seal from the
open end cap.
9. Inspect the worm bearings for roughness of rotation or excessive side movement and
remove only the ones requiring replacement, depending on whether the worm will be
replaced.
10. Examine the worm for wear that may have destroyed the original shape. Replace if
necessary.
Rev. 1 06D30
11. Remove the worm bearing in a press or by using a puller.
Cleaning and Inspection:
1. Thoroughly clean all parts with solvent or similar cleaner. Remove and clean the vent
plug, then flush out the housing. Blow all parts dry with compressed air, except the
bearings. Never dry bearings with air.
2. Oil the bearings and recheck for roughness and side play. Reinspect the worm and gear
for wear and damage. Replace if necessary.
3. Examine all other parts for wear or damage.
4. Inspect all seals for cuts or indications of deterioration and replace, if necessary.
Reassembly:
1. When installing new bearings, coat the mating surfaces with white lead and use the
proper size installation sleeve and press to seat the bearing. Heat the bearings if specified
by the manufacturer. Generally, bearings are heated to 300o F in an oil bath. Be sure to
install the bearings with the thick side of the outer race facing outside.
2. Press the bearings onto the worm gear and worm shafts as necessary.
3. The worm may be installed from either end of the reducer housing.
4. Using one shim as a gasket install and tighten the open end worm plate. Then adjust the
closed end worm plate by providing the necessary amount of shims until the bearings are
just clamped and the worm shaft turns freely.
5. Position the worm gear assembly in the reducer housing using caution to avoid damage to
the gear and worm teeth.
Install and adjust gear end caps by providing shims under each cap until the bearings are
just clamped and the gear turns freely.
6. Gear tooth contact should be checked after reassembly of the unit to guarantee against
premature wear of the parts.
Remove one worm gear end cap and coat the worm with Prussian blue. Reinstall the
worm gear end cap, then turn the worm by hand and check the position of tooth contact
by once again removing a worm gear end cap.
Rev. 1 06D30
It will be necessary to transfer shims from one worm gear end cap to the other until the
gear is adjusted centrally with the worm. Under no load, both faces of gear tooth should
have a leaving side contact in relation to the corresponding direction of rotation of the
worm.
7. Install the seals referring to "Replacement of Seals" on a previous page. Install the vent
and drain plugs.
8. Mount the reducer to the filter and complete all installations. Lubricate referring to the
Lubrication instructions.
Note: If the worm and gear were replaced, run-in the reducer four to five hours with the tank
empty, then one to two additional hours with the tank filled with water up to drum level.

11-2004 FILTER MEDIA MAINTENANCE
MCN2004-0563 82
INSPECTION
Periodically, wash the filter media (cloth) clean of all foreign material and check for damage or
wear. If the cloth is badly worn, it must be replaced. Repair holes in the filter cloth referring to
the instructions below.
CLOTH REPAIRS
When a tear or hole first appears in the cloth, it should be repaired as quickly as possible or, if
damage is excessive, the cloth should be replaced.
Hand sew or tie up the loose ends surrounding the hole, then cut a patch of cloth a size large
enough to extend at least one inch beyond the hole and hand stitch it to the cover. Since some
cloths shrink during operation, and particularly when they dry, these repairs may be difficult and
should be made when the cloth is wet.

9-2012 FILTER DRUM MAINTENANCE CSP0000703-01N
MCN2012-0306 84
DRUM INSPECTION
Fill the tank with water to about 20% submergence. Cover all tank outlets with blind flanges, if
necessary. Since the drum piping will pick up some water, mount a blind flange to the trunnion
pipe plate if the valve is not installed.
Revolve the drum slowly for about 5 to 10 minutes, remove a manhole cover, and check the
drum, piping and around manholes for leakage. Pinpoint any leakage and mark for repair. Be
sure to replace the gasket under the manhole cover.
Contact your FLSmidth Representative before making repairs.
DRUM WELDING
When welding inside or outside a drum, always remove a manhole on each side of the drum and
make a gas test for safety. Also, remove the plastic drainage grids in the vicinity of the welding.
Connect the ground lead for arc welding to the drum heads. Never connect to the tank since this
will damage the trunnion bearings due to electrical circuit contact.
BAILER PIPE (LEAK DETECTOR)
CAUTION: Do not cap, cover or connect to this pipe.
This pipe, located on the drive end trunnion, serves as the air vent to the inside of the drum. It
must be kept clear and periodically inspected to be sure it has not become plugged; clean as
necessary.
WARNING: Do not attempt to clean the bailer pipe when the filter is
operating. Shut down the filter drive before attempting any
hands-on maintenance.
The bailer also connects to a scoop device inside the drum. If the drum should leak internally,
this device will scoop up the water and discharge it through the pipe, giving warning to the
operator.
Since this bailer will also pick up moisture or condensation caused by changes in temperature,
some discharge of water is normal. Do not mistake that for excessive discharge caused by a leak.
Rev. 1 SO
9-2012 FILTER DRUM MAINTENANCE CSP0000703-01N
MCN2012-0306 85
In case of leakage, check the manhole covers to be sure they are tight and have gaskets. Also
check the piping, connections, and drum shell.
Consult your FLSmidth Representative before making repairs.

3-2007 GRID INSTALLATION
MCN2007-0135 86
These instructions cover the installation of PPW-6 grids on drum decks, which have wing type
division strips. They describe the sizing and cutting of the grids to provide necessary clearances,
along with a proven method of grid installation.
Although the instructions deal with complete grid replacement, they should be generally
followed, with special attention to clearances, for the replacement of individual grids.
EIMCO grids are furnished in full mold size to allow for exact measuring and fitting in the
field. Any wood or metal saw of the circular, band or jig type can be used for cutting. Refer to
the Cutting Instructions drawing for PPW-6 Grids drawing.
Note: When individual grids are replaced for reasons of breakage or wear, shift
the existing grids in position in order to locate the new grids over the
vacuum ports.
1. Thoroughly clean the drum deck and division strips of scale or other material, especially
under the division strips where the grids must fit.
2. Layout the grids along one section of the drum on a trial basis, as shown in Figure 27 and
3. Arrange the grids as follows:
a. Each drum deck vacuum port must be bridged or covered by a single grid. Never
allow the grid to intersect over a vacuum port.
b. All adjoining grids must interlock, as shown, with 1/16 inch clearance separating
them.
c. Grids adjacent to the end rings should be arranged with the feet as close to the rings
as possible, while allowing 1/16 inch clearance. Because these grids must be
trimmed to fit, make sure they interlock properly before cutting.
3. Refer to Figure 26. Determine the measured grid dimension that is the specified length of
the grid between the division strips. This dimension must be determined for each drum
section before the grids are trimmed and notched; since, the spacing of the division strips
may not be exactly uniform from centerline to centerline.
Note: The measured dimension must provide 1/16 inch clearance between the
grid and each division strip, as shown. Or, the measured dimension must
provide a total clearance of 1/8 inch between the grid and strips.

4. Cut the grids to the measured grid dimension. Keep in mind the clearances required
between each grid and the division strip.
Note: Make sure the grids interlock before cutting.
5. Notch the ends of the grids where they fit under the division strips as follows. Refer
to Figure 29.
a. Set the cutting length of the saw blade for the width of the notch. Make sure to
include 1/16 inch for clearance.
b. Adjust the saw guide for the required depth of cut on the grid. This cutting
dimension includes the width of the division strip wing plus .010 to .015 inch for
clearance.
c. Notch the grids and bevel the notched end.
Rev. 2 12D11
MCN2007-0135 89
6. Starting at one end of the drum, install the grids as they were arranged in Step #2.
a. Place the grid under the wing of the bottom division strip.

b. Insert the grid tool hooks in the center of the grid. Pull up gradually on the bottom
handle of the grid tool, while pressing on the top handle, and bend the grid just
enough to clear the top division strip. Do not bend the grid more than necessary to
slip it under the wing of the strip.
c. Gradually release the tension on the bottom tool handle to allow the grid to slide
into position under the strip.
Rev. 2 12D11
MCN2007-0135 90
7. CHECK the first grid to make sure that proper clearance has been allowed between the
division strips and end ring. Install the remaining grids along the drum section according
to the required clearances.
8. Install the remaining sections of grids. Use the previous section as a reference and
carefully CHECK the measured grid dimension and clearances.
