Safety
Safety Recommendations for Maintenance and Fault Elimination at the Filter

Press
The operating staff must be informed prior to the execution of special works and maintenance
works. A chief supervisor must be nominated.
Dates prescribed or mentioned in the manual for recurrent controls / inspections must be
observed.
If necessary, the maintenance area must be secured sufficiently!
The work area must be secured by means of a red and white chain and a danger sign.
In principle, the following activities are necessary prior to all maintenance works:
- Switching off of filter press,
- Waiting for motors to stop,
- Switching off of filter press by means of the main switch.
If the filter press has been completely switched off for maintenance and repair works, it must be
safeguarded against unexpected restart:
- Securing of main switch by means of a padlock,
- Attaching a danger sign at the control panel.
An appropriate workshop equipment is absolutely necessary to carry out the maintenance

works.
Works at electrical equipment of the filter press may only be carried out by an electrician or
under the direction and supervision of an electrician according to the electro-technical rules.
In case of maintenance and repair works, loose screw connections must always be tightened
again!
The filter press and here particularly connections and screw attachments have to be cleaned
from oil, process materials, contamination or detergents prior to the maintenance/repair. No
aggressive detergents must be used. Only use non-fuzzing cleaning cloths.
If a disassembly of safety devices becomes necessary during set-up, maintenance and repair,
assembly and control of same has to be carried out immediately upon completion of
maintenance and repair works.
Before cleaning the filter press with water or steam jet (high pressure cleaner), or other
methods, all openings which must be protected from water/steam/detergents for safety and
functional reasons, must be covered. This is particularly the case with electric motors, control
panels, junction boxes and electric components. After cleaning, all covers have to be removed
again completely.
Individual parts and large component groups must be thoroughly fixed at hoists and secured in
case of an exchange, to avoid danger. Only suitable and technically unobjectionable hoists and
load suspension devices with sufficient carrying force may be used!
Filterpress 14
Safety
Do not stay or work underneath suspended loads!
Only experienced persons shall be instructed with load slinging and directing of crane drivers!
The person directing the crane driver must stay within the crane driver’s sight or both must be
communicating with each other!
For assembly works above body height corresponding and safe ladders and work platforms
must be used! Machine parts must not be used as ladder! For maintenance works in large
height protective equipment against falling down must be worn! All handles, footboards, railings,
pedestals, platforms, and ladders must be kept free from contamination!
A safe and environmentally friendly disposal of operation and process materials as well as of
replacement parts must be provided!
Filterpress 15
Safety
Recommendations regarding particular kinds of danger

Electric Energy
In case of faults in the electric power supply of the filter press, it must be switched off
immediately by means of the main switch!
Never work at parts which are under voltage!
Only original fuses with prescribed intensity of current may be used!
Plant sections at which inspection, maintenance and repair works are carried out, must be
released from voltage. Process materials by means of which voltage has been released, must
be secured from unintended or automatic restart (lock away fuses, block disconnecting switches
etc.). Afterwards check if the electric components are free from voltage, then ground and short-
circuit as well as insulate adjacent parts under voltage.
In case of repair works special attention must be paid that constructive characteristics are not
changed with a decrease in safety (e.g. do not reduce creep distances and clearances as well
as distances due to the insulations).
If works are necessary at parts which are under voltage (only in emergency situations!), a
second person is required to actuate the main switch in case of emergency. Only use insulated
tools!
The unobjectionable grounding of the electric system must be guaranteed by an equipment

grounding conductor system.
After switching off the filter press for maintenance or repair works, always wait 5 minutes, to
ensure that the capacitors in the control are completely discharged. The casing or control panel
doors may only be opened once this period has elapsed.

Fault messages
Fault messages point out to critical operating conditions of the filter press. Due to their
importance, fault messages must be reset by pushing the button “fault reset”. A fault can be
recognized by the following signals:
 The operator panel shows a triangle with exclamation mark. The number under it,
shows how many fault are active.
 The text of the fault message are shown on the operator panel.
Danger!
In case of faults in the PLC-Control, these have to be eliminated by authorized
electricians.
Attention!
Faults must be eliminated first. The eliminated fault can be reset with the
button “fault reset”.

Safety doors or Light curtains are placed on the operating- or non operating side. Opening the
safety door or interrupting the protected area of the light curtain, stops immediatly the
movement of the closing cylinder, the platetransport and the movement of the drip trays and the
washing device.
The safety units (safety door and light curtain) are acknowledged automatically, if the hydraulic
pressure of the closing cylinder is higher then 90 bar and the protected area of the light curtain
is free and the safety door is closed.
Voltage data:

Function:
The closing of the filter press is not released, if the platetransport is not in groundposition (Limit
switch “platetransport in groundpositon”). POPP temperature is not ready and pre heat is not
done. (*Only if POPP is applicable)
In automatic, at first the drip trays are closed by pressing the button “Press close”. For this, the
hydraulic pump is switched on and the valve “drip trays close” is open until the drip trays are
closed and the limit switch “drip trays closed” is activated.
Then, the closing cylinder moves in the direction of the plate package. Once the shifting plate is
in contact with the plate package and the head plate, a pressure is build up in the hydraulic line.
After reaching the calculated hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic pressure regular the hydraulic
pump is switched off and the filter press is closed.
If due to possible leakage of the valves the pressure at the pressure sensor “closing pressure”
falls below the calculated hydraulic pressure minus the adjusted hysteresis, then the hydraulic
power pack switches on again and increases the pressure in closing cylnder until reaching the
calculated pressure again.
The switching point “press tight” releases feeding of the filter press.
The limit switch „press closed operating side“, if available, checks when filter press is closed
(Pressure > approx. 120 bar), though the length of the fitler plate package is fallen short of or
exceeded. If the limit switch isn´t reached, then the closing movement stops and a fault
message apperas.
If the hydraulic pressure reaches the switching point of the pressure switch „hydraulics
overpressure”, the closing movement will stop immediately and a fault message appears. When
reaching this switching point, closing is no longer possible. In this case, the filter press can only

be opened.
Opening the safety door or interrupting the protected area of the light curtain, stops immediatly
the movement of the closing cylinder. It can be started again when the protected area is free,
the safety door is closed and the designated rope switch has been pulled and released again.

available, relieves the pressure of the closing cylinder. After the pressure is smaller than 15 bar
or the time “relieve closingcylinder” elapses the hydraulic power pack is switched on and the
closing cylinder opens the filter press as far as the time “press opening to dropposition” elapses.
Now, the residual filtrate in the filter press can drip out via the filtrate launders integrated in the
drip trays. The adjustable time „dripping“ is started.
After the dripping time has elapsed, the hydraulic power pack opens the drip trays until the limit
switch “drip trays opened” is reached.
Then, the hydraulic power pack is started again and moves the closing cylinder to its ground
position. The gound position of the closing cylinder is reached, when both limit switches “shifting
