DEFINITIONS
The following are definitions of the individual and legal entities involved in handling and using the machine.
OWNWER: In this user manual, the OWNER is the legal representative of the company or body, or the individual, that purchased the
machine. The Owner is responsible for ensuring compliance with all the safety requirements specified in the present manual
and in the current legislation in the country where the machine is installed. This last aspect is waived if the Owner appoints a
plant MANAGER, who thus takes responsibility for implementing the safety recommendations and for compliance with the
safety standards relating to the use of the machine and relations with the OPERATOR.
INSTALLER: In this user manual, the INSTALLER is the legal representative of the company appointed by the OWNER to install and connect
the machine to the hydraulic, electrical and compressed air supply networks (etc.) at the plant. The Installer is responsible for
correctly handling and installing the machine in compliance with the recommendations of this manual and with the current legal
requirements in the country where the machine is used.
OPERATOR: In this user manual, the OPERATOR is the person authorized by the OWNER or MANAGER to take all action on the machine for
its usage, adjustment, control and routine servicing, as detailed in this manual (with which Operators must strictly comply,
limiting their action to the explicitly allowable procedures).
TECHNICIAN: In this user manual, the TECHNICIAN is the person directly authorized by the Manufacturer or, failing this (and entirely under the
latter's responsibility), by the Manufacturer's Dealer in the various European Community states outside Italy, to carry out all
extraordinary servicing procedures, as well as any adjustments, tests, repairs and replacements of parts proving necessary
during the working life of the machine.
GENERAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

! In unloading the machine on arrival, lifting and positioning it at the workplace, and all other handling procedures, comply scrupulously with the
recommendations of the relevant section of this manual.
Pay particular attention when handling wheel-mounted machines, which have to be moved by hand once they are on the ground.
To prevent any risk of crushing, only move the machine by pushing it, never by pulling it, so that nobody can ever come to be in the path of the
machine as it moves. Anyone handling the machine must be supervised by another person uninvolved in the procedure, who shall keep a
constant watch to ensure that no obstacles or persons get in the machine's way and no other hazardous situations occur. This supervisor must
promptly alert the person moving the machine of any hazards so that the machine can be stopped immediately.
! The surface on which the machine slides, like the surface on which it is used, must meet all the essential safety requirements: it must be perfectly
horizontal and smooth, with nothing to interfere with the machine's movements. Check in advance to ensure that the whole distance to cover with
the machine meets all the above-mentioned requirements. Make sure that the sliding and supporting surfaces have a load-bearing capacity
sufficient to withstand the weight of the machine both empty and in use. Any discontinuity in the floor, e.g. expansion joints, grids and manholes,
must meet the specified requirements.
! Never, for any reason whatsoever, lift the machine by any hoisting points other than those indicated.
! Before the machine is used, it must always be immobilized using the fixing devices provided.
! The machine must be placed in an area accessible only to the OPERATORS and TECHNICIANS; failing this, it must be protected by a barrier
situated at least 2 m away from its outer edge. OPERATORS and TECHNICIANS may access the area where the machine is used providing they
are adequately clothed and equipped with the personal protective equipment specified by law (safety shoes, gloves, helmet, etc.). The
INSTALLER's personnel, or any visitors, must always be accompanied by an OPERATOR. Unauthorized personnel must never be allowed to
remain alone in the vicinity of the machine. The place of installation must be made inaccessible to children.
! OPERATORS shall restrict themselves to taking action on the machine's controls, so they must not open any of the panels, except for the one for
accessing the controls (if any).
! The INSTALLER shall restrict himself to taking action on the connections between the plant and the machine, so he must not open any panels, or
operate any controls.
! In all handling, usage, servicing or repairs on the machine, it is compulsory to comply with all current safety standards in the country where the
machine is used. This applies both to the equipment and to the operating methods adopted.
! Always disconnect the electric power supply before taking any action to install, service, repair or move the machine. This is of fundamental
importance to prevent the risk of death, severe injury and extensive damage to the plant.
! In certain stages of normal use, some of the containers comprising the machine are under pressure (e.g. the filter vessel, plenum chamber,
erosion-type dosing units, etc.). Never open such containers or remove any components connected to them before you have completely vented
said pressure. Venting must be done through the valves provided on the machine specifically for this purpose.
! Never move the machine during normal working cycles.
! Before each new working cycle, make sure that any mobile electric connections (power cords, plugs, etc.) are sound and efficient. If they show
any signs of damage, repairs must be made only by a specialized TECHNICIAN.
! Never take any action not mentioned in this manual under your own initiative.
! Connect the machine to the mains electric power supply according to the recommendations of this manual.
! Before starting the machine, check the efficiency of the earthing for the electric circuitry and machine frame or structure.
! Never use power cords of inadequate cross-section or provisional connections, not even briefly, and certainly not in the event of an emergency.
! Start the machine only after you have made sure of its perfectly safe connection to the systems providing the energy and anything else it needs to
function properly (mains electricity and water, compressed gas supply, water drainage network, etc.).
! Keep a safe distance from any mechanical parts in motion.
! Immediately report any alarms or the tripping of any automatic machine safety devices to the TECHNICIAN.
! Never manually reset the machine after an alarm or an automatic safety device has been tripped without first identifying and dealing with the
problem that caused them.
! Never remove the guards over moving parts while the machine is in operation.
! Before starting the machine, make sure all guards are correctly installed.
! Routinely perform all the scheduled servicing operations.
! Dispose of the packaging material for the machine at a suitable landfill, taking particular care over any film and plastic bags, which can expose
children to the risk of suffocation.
! Never release the processing waste deriving from the working process directly into the environment.
REGULATIONS FOR USING THE MACHINE IN THE FOODSTUFFS

SECTOR
The following considerations apply only to machines used with foodstuffs, i.e. destined to come into contact with products for human consumption:
! The machine in your possession has been designed and built to make it suitable for contact with foodstuffs, and fluids in particular. If in doubt
about the intended uses of your machine, refer to the relevant chapter in this manual.
! For logistic reasons related to the phases prior to its use (e.g. transport to the user's premises, storage in warehouses, etc.), it is impossible to
guarantee the delivery of the machine in conditions suitable to enable its immediate use without an accurate, preliminary sanitization. This is the
responsibility of the end user, who may have to comply with any established protocols, e.g. HACCP.
DEMOLITION AND DISPOSAL OF THE MACHINE

! At the end of its working life, the machine must be demolished and disposed of.
! THE MACHINE MUST ONLY BE DEMOLISHED AND DISPOSED OF BY ADEQUATELY-TRAINED AND PROPERLY-EQUIPPED PERSONNEL IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE.
! 1. Divide the machine into its constituent parts, separating the materials it is made of:
! mechanical parts (reducers, pump bodies, etc.);
! metal parts (structure, piping, etc.)
! electrical parts;
! rubber parts;
! plastic and synthetic parts.
! 2. All resulting materials must be treated and disposed of in accordance with the legal requirements in the country where the machine is used.
! 3. All components contaminated by oil and oily residues must be considered as special waste and disposed of by authorized consortiums. The
same applies to the lubricants that periodically have to be changed.
! 4. In the event of the machine being placed out of commission, even only temporarily, it must be stored in an area inaccessible to children. All
circuit breakers and isolators must be segregated and disconnected.
Make a thorough check and release any built-up residual energy, e.g. liquids or gases under pressure inside containers or piping. The
machine must also be checked from the static standpoint, to eliminate the risk of any single machine parts moving unexpectedly.
! THE MANUFACTURER ACCEPTS NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY DUE TO THE RE-USE OF SINGLE MACHINE
PARTS FOR ANY OTHER THAN THE ORIGINAL PURPOSES OR IN OTHER ASSEMBLY CONDITIONS.
INSPECTION OF THE GOODS ON RECEIPT

When it is delivered, the machine must be checked by the Customer to identify any signs of damage that it may have suffered in transit and ensure
that the machine is complete in every part, as listed on the order form.
If there are signs of damage, make an immediate note of the anomalies detected on the transport document (delivery note or CMR), adding the
wording RECEIVED WITH RESERVE DUE TO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. Delivery ex works includes insurance coverage for any
damage in accordance with the Italian law 450 of 22.08.1985 "Compensation limit". In the event of complaints, the Customer must be able to
produce an adequate photographic documentation of the most obvious damage.
GUARANTEE
The Manufacturer guarantees the machine for the period indicated in the order form.
The GUARANTEE consists exclusively in the replacement or repair, free of charge, of any parts acknowledged as being defective.
The GUARANTEE does not cover electrical parts.
The GUARANTEE is valid only if all installation and usage instructions have been followed (not only those stated by the Manufacturer, but also those
suggested by current practice).
The GUARANTEE becomes null and void in the event of any servicing procedures being undertaken by personnel not authorized by the
Manufacturer. If the machine alarm sounds or one of the automatic safety devices is tripped, the machine must not be reset manually until the cause
of the shutdown has been dealt with. Repeated manual resets can be sufficient reason for the Guarantee to become null and void.
The GUARANTEE is valid providing any flaws or defects are reported within eight days of their detection; moreover, the GUARANTEE takes effect
providing the use of the machine was suspended immediately after the fault was discovered.
AFTER-SALES ASSISTANCE
When requesting any information, servicing, or other services, it is essential to specify the SERIAL NUMBER of your machine.
It is impossible to provide accurate instructions or schedule servicing measures unless this information is provided.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST FREEZING
If there is a danger of the ambient temperature dropping to 0C / 32F, be sure to empty any liquids (water or product to treat) from all
of the machine's hydraulic circuits to prevent ice forming in the piping and damaging parts of the machine.

1.4 General description

The filter press consists of a frame that acts as a support to the filter plates, their
separation and closing system, control devices and, at times, the feed pump and
conveyor belt. On the front side of the frame there is a fixed head that acts as a
buttress to a movable one controlled by the closing system. The various filter
plates and cloths forming the filter pack are pressed together between the two
movable pressure heads.
4 FP1500_895799_1009R00
The liquid to be filtered is delivered by the pump and made to pass through a
collector formed by joining the center holes present on the plates.
This feed flow comes from a single point situated on the fixed end. In the event
of filters with a large number of plates, a second feed coupling is provided on
the mobile end with a view to balancing the flow of fluid throughout the filter
pack.
This filter is equipped with an automatic control device for all operations that
permits an unlimited number of cycles to be run without any intervention by the
operator at all. Two tanks are connected to the filter press: one for the mixing
and homogenization of the liquid to be filtered and the other for the collection of
the filtrate. A compressed air supply permits the drying of the panel prior to its
discharge.
The liquid is then filtered by the cloth and exits through the holes in the bottom
of the plates, from where it is conveyed to the outlet, which is generally situated
on the underside of the fixed end.
The filtration residue deposited on the cloth, gradually forms the so-called
panel whose volume will gradually increase until filling the chamber formed by
the cavity of two consecutive plates.
A filtration cycle must be considered over when the volume and consistency of
the panel are such as to prevent the passage of additional liquid.
The filter can now be emptied by opening the filter pack so that the cakes can
drop out.
Depending on the model, the filter pack may be opened in various ways:
MANUAL: by separating all the plates one by one by hand, thus allowing the
panel to fall out and be completely removed using a water jet and a spatula.
AUTOMATIC: by using an automatic system that automatically separates the
plates one by one, allowing an operator to intervene manually if necessary to
finish removing the panel.
SIMULTANEOUS: by using a system that allows all of the plates to be separated
simultaneously, thus allowing gravity to pull the panels down without any manual
intervention.
The filtration residue that is separated from the cloths is taken away using
various systems, e.g. with a conveyor belt (optional).
The filter presses are all similar as regards build and operational characteristics.
The operational difference between the various models mainly regards the size
and quantity of the plates and therefore the corresponding filtration capacity and
hourly flow rate of filtered liquid; it therefore follows that size variation has a
direct effect on the weight. The aforementioned panel draining devices are the
second point of differentiation among the various models.
At the customers request, a supply frequency of 50 or 60 Hz is available.
Depending on requirements, the filters are fitted with pumps and accessories
that are suited to the characteristics of the liquid to be filtered.
1.5 Customer Support Service

12 FP1500_895799_1009R00
2.5 Check on efficiency of safety devices
CAUTION:
The following checks on safety devices are very important for the safety of the
operator and for such reason must be performed with the greatest attention.
A) Check on operation of emergency stop button

The operation of the mushroom-head emergency stop button must be checked
before putting the machine into operation: when it is pressed, it must bring
machine operation to an immediate and complete stop.
B) Check on operation of sliding safety guard
Make sure that the sliding safety guard operates correctly before beginning each
new work cycle. When opened, the safety guard should machine operation to an
immediate and complete stop.
C) Check on operation of breaking disk
The safety device is equipped with a contact that signals the breakage of the
disk, in which case the operator is signalled by an alarm and the cycle is brought
a pause.
The pause condition stops the operation of the machine and closes all the valves
except valve V2; pump PU1 continues running for the circulation of the product
in tank R3A.

3. Installation instructions
Prior to delivery, the machines undergo careful testing and inspection under
various working conditions in order to guarantee perfect running.
However, in order to ensure correct and safe installation, the following directions
must be followed.
3.1 Lifting and movement of the machine

DANGER
Before unloading the machine check that its intended site is capable of
supporting its weight.
The base upon which the machine is installed should have a capacity
that can handle THE SUM of its weight and that of the product load to
be processed. Please consult the Specifications Table for details.
Also check that the means used to unload and move the machine has
sufficient carrying capacity for the weight.
THE TRANSPORT, UNLOADING AND ASSEMBLY OF THE MACHINE MUST

BE PERFORMED ONLY BY SPECIALIZED PERSONNEL AUTHORIZED FOR THE
PURPOSE.
For hoisting and shifting during transport operations, belts must be used with a
crane.
Take care to ensure that the belts do not lever on plastic or other deformable
components or electric cables.
MAX 90
Figure 1
If included, the filter must be firmly fastened to the floor using the holding
brackets provided.
Follow the diagram in for lifting the machine. Figure 1
Empty weight kg 8000

Weight when fully loaded kg /
14 FP1500_895799_1009R00
3.2 Electrical connection
All filters are powered by three-phase voltage.
Check that the electrical system supplies power with the same characteristics as
those required by the filter (see enclosed wiring diagram).
The mains connection should be carried out using the terminal block situated
inside the control board on terminals L1, L2, L3 plus Neutral or else by way of
the special cable supplied with the filter that has already been connected to the
terminal block before leaving the factory.
DANGER
As in the case of any ordinary or extraordinary operation on the
filter electrical system, the mains connection should be effected
by a qualified TECHNICIAN and the mains line should conform
to current standards (CEI, etc.) and existing legislation.
In this respect, it should be remembered that grounding the machine is
compulsory.
In addition, it is also necessary to respect all safety regulations regarding the

room where the machine is installed.
3.3 Checking the cyclical direction of the phases

Having connected the filter to the mains and before utilizing same, it is
necessary to check that the phases have been correctly connected.
Turn on the master switch.
Turn on, but only with some brief pulses, one of the drive motors and make sure
(by looking from the ventilation side) that the motor fan rotates in the direction
indicated by the red arrow on the casing.
If the motor does not rotate in the correct direction, it is necessary to alter the
position of its power-supply connection cables.
The feed pump must absolutely never be allowed to run without flow for
the cooling of the mechanical seal.
The pump can be seriously damaged if it runs without flow for even the
shortest period.
FP1500_895799_1009R00
15
3.4 Checking the unbalance among phases
Do not operate the electric motors if the voltage unbalance between the phases
is greater than 3%.
Use the following formula to check the balance:
% voltage unbalance = max. voltage shift from mean

x 100
mean voltage
Example: rated mains voltage 400V 3 ~ 50 Hz

AB = 409V A B C
BC = 398V
AC = 396V
409 + 398 + 396

mean voltage = = 401V
3
How to calculate the percentage of unbalance:

409 401
% voltage unbalance = x 100 = 1,99%
401
This value is acceptable because it is less than the maximum allowable, i.e. 3%.
IMPORTANT
If the mains voltage has an unbalance greater than 3%, contact your power
supply company. Running the machine with a voltage unbalance of more than
3% among the phases shall VOID THE WARRANTY.
The mains supply voltage must correspond to the rated value +/- 10%

3.6 Liquid connections

The filter must be properly connected to the various tanks from which it receives
and sends the liquid to be processed, as well as to the various utility
connections;
- the pipes may be the flexible (plastic) or rigid (steel) type;
- rigid connection pipes should be secured separately from the filter in order to
prevent their weight from resting on the intake and outlet connections;
- arrange to place flexible joints between filter and rigid pipes in such a way as
to avoid reciprocal transmission of vibrations;
- pipes should conform to all requirements of compatibility with the product to
be treated (e.g. suitable for foodstuffs or corrosive liquids);
- they must be capable of withstanding the mechanical stress produced by the
filter, e.g. they should not be prone to crushing as a result of the suction
force of the feed pump.
- they should be of a suitable size, therefore with a diameter in proportion to
the capacity of the filter and in any event never less than that of the intake
and delivery connections.
- in the presence of both flexible and rigid pipes, carry out frequent checks as
to the complete tightness of connections in order to prevent the filter or
pump from sucking in air through any leakage points.
Consult the flow chart above to ensure the correct installation of the machine.
See the Key to components on Pages 16 and 17 for the respective sizes and
types of connection.
- Connect the delivery line for feed pump PU1 to connection A4
- Connect reaction tank R3A to connection A5
- Connect filtered liquid receiving tank FT to filtrate outlet A6

4. Instructions for use
4.1 Preliminary operations
The feed pump must absolutely never be allowed to run without flow for
the cooling of the mechanical seal.
The pump can be seriously damaged if it runs without flow for even the
shortest period.
Check that all limit switches and safety devices and guards are working correctly
and in OFF position in order to avoid interference with the normal running of the
machine.
Carry out periodic checks as to the good condition of the plates and cloths.
4.2 Filter cloths

Special attention needs to be paid to the filter cloths.
See relevant chapter for details regarding their maintenance.
It is recommended that the following checks be carried out before filtering
begins:
- ensure that the cloths are securely fastened to the plates, replacing any
plastic cords that are found to be damaged. Also check that the cords have
not become entwined in the gap between the plates.
- the cloths should always be well-stretched and fit closely to the two faces of
the plate.
-it is imperative that creases are not allowed to form on the cloth.
WARNING
Once the filter pack has been closed, any creases in the fabric will cause the
cloth to be torn along the entire length of the crease line. This is due to the high
compression that the plates exercise between each other and the relative rigidity
of the plates themselves.
Figure 2
Any damaged cloths should be replaced at once before starting a new filtration
cycle since otherwise they would cause a continuous leakage of unfiltered liquid
through the tear in the cloth, thus resulting in constant pollution of the flow of
clean liquid.
- the room where the machine is installed should be properly shielded from
direct sunlight.
FP1500_895799_1009R00
21
In fact, direct sunlight will provoke a rapid and premature deterioration of the
cloths. (Figure 2).

5. Work phases
5.1 Filtration
This filter press is complete with a system for the automatic management of all
the functions comprising the working cycle, which means that an indefinite
number of filtering cycles can be carried out entirely automatically.
5.1.1 Filter closing

The movable plate is now pushed towards the fixed head by the hydraulic piston
and closes the filter pack.
The feed pump PU1 is triggered into operation by the filter as soon as sufficient
plate locking pressure is reached.
5.1.2 Homogenization
The product to be filtered flows initially in a closed circuit between the feed
pump PU1 and tank R3A in order to homogenize the product prior to filtration.
Feed pump PU1 can be set AUTO-OFF-ON. In AUTO position, it is started and
automatically controlled by the program, which varies speed as required on the
basis of work pressure. When set in ON and OFF positions, feed pump PU1 is
started and stopped manually.
The operator can decide when to terminate the product homogenization phase
in order to proceed to the filling of the machine.
Whenever the operator decides to terminate the homogenization phase, he gives
confirmation for the ok to start filtration? message that appears on the display
in order to shift to the next phase.
homogenization is performed only during the first work cycle, while in the
following cycles, the next filling step is performed directly.
5.1.3 Filling and circulation for turbidity check

At this point, valve V2 closes automatically and valve V1 opens in order to send
the product to the filter for filling and the start of filtration.
In this phase, the product flows in a closed circuit for the period of time set by
the operator in order to reach the level of clarity desired in the outgoing product
that can be checked through sightglass SG1.
When outgoing product clarity has reached the desired level, confirm by giving
the clarity ok message that appears on the display in order to proceed to
filtration.
5.1.4 Filtration
The positions of valves V3 and V4 are now inverted; valve V3 closes and valve
V4 opens in order for the filtered liquid to be sent to tank FT.
The end of filtration is determined by the clogging of the filters filtration
chambers, which once filled with residue (forming a panel) do not permit the
passage of further liquid.
28 FP1500_895799_1009R00
The filter pack clogs naturally during filtration and as a result, pressure rises
constantly due to the greater and greater frequency of operation of feed pump
PU1 in its attempt to keep the flow constant.
Once the maximum frequency limit set has been reached on inverter INV1, flow
begins falling until it reaches the programmable minimum flow set. Once this
latter value has been reached, valve V2 opens and valve V1 closes automatically
in order to determine the end of the cycle and the start of circulation in tank R3A.
5.1.5 Panel drying

At this point, filtration may be considered over and compressed air can be
injected through valve V6 for a programmable period of time in order to drain
residual product from the filter from and dry the panel.
After the pressurization time, valve V6 closes and valve V5 opens for filter
depressurization. After depressurization, valves V4 and V5 close and the filter is
ready for the discharge of the panel.
5.2 Draining and washing the filter

WARNING
At this point in the process, the liquid has been completely separated
from the solids it contained.
In most cases, the panel of residue contained in the plates should be
treated as special waste and handled, stored and disposed of in
accordance with the laws in force in the country where the machine is
being used.
In some cases, this procedure also applies to the liquid part.
DANGER
Maximum care should be taken when using liquids to effect manual
cleaning of the machine.
When carrying out external cleaning of the filter it is first necessary to
disconnect the power supply.
5.2.1 Dripping
After the panel drying phase has been completed, the display will provide the
following message: ok to start cake discharge? After confirmation has been
given, the filter pack is loosened for the time required by the dripping phase.
5.2.2 Movable chute opening

After the dripping phase has been completed, the movable chute opens
completely in order to permit the panel to fall from the plates during the
simultaneous loosening and shaking phase.
5.2.3 Filter opening

The movable plate now retreats to the end of the hydraulic piston stroke in order
to separate all the filter plates one by one with the use of the connection cable.
FP1500_895799_1009R00
29
5.2.4 Shaking
After the hydraulic piston has completely retracted, a limit switch automatically
triggers the plate shaking device in order to detach all the solid residue that still
remains attached to the plates.
It may be that not all the cake comes away from the cloth on its own. In this
case, momentarily stop the filter by opening the lateral sliding safety guard.
Remove the scraps of cake still attached to the cloths with the aid of a plastic
spatula (never use metal tools). You can also wash the cloths with a jet of water.
In order to resume normal operation, close the lateral sliding safety guard and
press START AUXILIARIES on the control panel.
In order to wash the cloths, follow the instructions provided in Maintenance of
the filter cloths.
The number of shakings is controlled by time.
Once the programmed number has been reached, the display will provide the
following message cake discharge ok? Press OK to confirm.
The entire work cycle has now come to an end.
The control system now permits the stopping of machine operation or the
automatic repetition of the work cycle if the Repeat cycle option has been
selected.
When the Repeat cycle option has been selected, at the end of the cycle, the
machine automatically resumes the execution of the filter closing, filtration, and
cake discharge, etc. phases.
30 FP1500_895799_1009R00
6. Safety and control devices
The system permits the correct operation of the machine and the execution of its
work cycles to be checked automatically; in the event of anomaly or the
triggering of he safety system, the display provides a signal that depends on the
type of problem:
General compressed air minimum pressure P4; signals the operator that
the air pressure for the drying of the panel is insufficient. The cycle does not
stop.
Utilities compressed air minimum pressure P5; signals the operator that
the utilities air pressure is at minimum. The cycle is brought to a pause.
Product inlet pressure P1; signals the operator that inlet pressure has
exceeded the maximum value set. The cycle is brought to a pause and
discharge valve V5 opens.
Product outlet pressure P2; this analogue signal is used for the
management of the cycle
Hydraulic circuit maximum pressure P3; when this triggers, pump Po1
switches off and Vo2 closes
Feed pump PU minimum flushing water pressure; signals the operator that
the pressure of the water for the cooling of the feed pumps mechanical seals
has fallen to its minimum permissible level. The machine stops, the cycle is
brought to a pause, and the fault is signalled.
Lateral safety guard position Fcs 1-2; whenever a lateral sliding safety
guard opens during a work cycle, the cycle is brought to a pause.
Thermal cutout signals the triggering of the magnetothermal overload
cutouts on the electric motors. The cycle is brought to a pause.
Disk breaking indication Vs1; the filter is equipped with a safety device Vs1
that provides the circuit with protection against overpressure.
The device is provide with a contact that signals the breaking of the disk. In
such case, the operator is signalled and the cycle is brought to a pause.
When in pause condition, the machine stops and closes all valves except
valve V2; feed pump PU1 keeps running for the circulation of product in tank
R3A.
7. Data saving
The system permits the automatic saving and storage of the data acquired from
each work cycle on a USB key in order for the purposes of future consultation,
exportation and organization in one single file or in a separate file for each work
cycle.
The data saved are:
Speed of feed pump PU1[Hz]
Inlet pressure P1 [bar]
Outlet pressure FL1 [m3/h]
Outlet pressure P2 [bar]
FP1500_895799_1009R00
31
Compressed air pressure P4 [bar]
In order to ensure the correct organization of data saved from the various work
cycles, such sets of data are provided with progressive numeration and the date
and hour that each cycle begins
The number of files that can be saved and stored depends on the sampling
frequency and capacity of the storage system. In any case, once the preset
value has been reached, the data will be overwritten starting from the oldest
data.
8. Maintenance operations
8.1 Maintenance of the filter cloths
The filter cloths are the most important operational part of the machine; their
conditions will be largely responsible for the quality of filtration, the duration of
the work cycle and the ease and extent to which the panel is removed during the
discharge phase; they are manufactured using top-quality fabric suited to the
product to be processed, thus guaranteeing perfect running and long life.
Therefore, given their importance and in order to maintain their original
characteristics for as long as possible, it is necessary to observe the following
directions on a regular basis.
1) carry out frequent checks for possible fraying or tears.
Excessively-worn or damaged cloths should be replaced as soon as
possible.
In fact, incomplete separation of the residue panel is often due to excessive
wear of the cloth.
A cloth with perfect surface conditions is particularly necessary for filter
presses with short and automatic cycle and those in which the panel is not
removed by hand.
2) do not filter products different from those for which the cloth has been
supplied.
In case of doubt, please contact your Customer Service Center.
3) the plastic cords that fasten the cloths to the plate are very important since
they keep the cloth better stretched and less liable to creasing. Arrange to
replace missing and broken ones.
4) after each filtration, carefully wash the surface using clean water, preferably
with a high-pressure jet. in this last case only fan nozzles should be used.
Whilst washing with pressure jets, maintain a minimum distance from the
cloth of 60 cm.
The use of more powerful jets, e.g. hydrocutters, is not recommended since
they cause rapid deterioration of the fabric.
5) in any event, high-pressure washing should be carried out at least once a
week.
6) in order to remove any pieces that have remained stuck to the cloth, never
use metal tools, but special plastic spatulas, preferably with a rubber blade.
32 FP1500_895799_1009R00
7) take care when cleaning the cloths, but pay particular attention to their lower
part.
In fact, over a period of time and due to the effect of gravity, impurities tend
to collect on the lower part of the cloth rather than in other areas.
If not removed on a regular basis, the impurities will cause a localized
increase in the thickness of the cloth at these points, that multiplied by the
number of cloths makes the filter pack wider on its lower part compared to
the upper one. When the filter pack is closed under pressure, over a period
of time this asymmetry causes straining of the machine frame.
8) even if carried out at high pressure, washing the cloths whilst fitted to the
plates does not remove all the particles of dirt and after a certain time the
cloth becomes covered with an impermeable layer formed by substances
that are greasy or liable to cause clogging.
The operating efficiency of the cloths is therefore reduced, as is the yield of the
filter; as a result, it is necessary to dismantle and then wash the complete set of
cloths.
Soak the cloths in a tank with water at 80/90oC and suitable detergents.
Depending on sector of use and product to be filtered, products may be
employed such as Caustic Soda (NaOH) in 3% solution, or Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4)
once again in 3% solution.
For the food sector, a final deodorization with Citric Acid (C6H8O7) is also
recommended.
DANGER
The use of corrosive substances (acid or alkaline) can be harmful to the
operator.
Ensure that the recommended dosage is respected.
Prior to use, consult the manufacturers directions as indicated on the
pack and take all precautions requested.
When rinsing, one can simply change the water in the tank until all traces of
dirt and detergent have been eliminated or else utilize an industrial washing
machine. In the latter case do not spin the cloths more than 4 to 6 times or
effect more than one or two turns in each direction of rotation.
The washing machine should never be used for a complete wash of the
cloths, but only for rinsing.
When drying, hang them well stretched and without wringing in an airy place,
but away from direct sunlight.
9) when refitting the cloths be very careful as to the position of the two lateral
holes. These should coincide with the two corresponding holes on the plate
(See Figure 3).
Great care should also be taken regarding the positioning of the holes of any
plates removed; they should all be positioned with the product outflow holes
in perfect alignment.

8.2 Operations to the hydraulic system

DANGER
The power supply must be disconnected before starting any
maintenance operation on the machine.
1) Carry out periodic checks on the oil level in the hydraulic control unit and if
necessary top up with hydraulic fluid, type ESSO NUTO H 46 - 44.7 Cst/40oC
or similar, e.g. BP Energol HLP-Z 58.
During topping-up operations it is advisable to filter the fluid being poured
into the tank in order to avoid the possible introduction of impurities.
When filling, never mix fluids of different types or marks.
It is recommended that a complete oil change in tank and circuit (piston,
pipes, etc.) be carried out at least every two years of machine duty.
2) Check and if necessary top up the oil level in the motor reducers present on
the filter (bracket unit, conveyor belt, etc.).
3) The oil-hydraulic circuit requires no settings or operations other than those
already listed, since all necessary checks and settings are carried out during
commissioning.
Do not tamper with the manufacturer's settings or adjustments for any
reason.
Contact the Technical Service Center if necessary.
WARNING
Spent oil must always be considered special waste and as such
handled, stored, and eliminated as specified by the laws in force in the
nation of use.
8.3 Greasing operations

1) Routinely check and top up the grease on the plate-sliding guides.
2) Routinely check and top up the grease on the sliding guides for any
conveyor belt and make sure that it always slides properly aligned with its
frame. If it shifts out of place, take suitable steps on the corresponding
adjustment guides.
34 FP1500_895799_1009R00
9. Troubleshooting
This chapter details certain anomalies that may be witnessed during normal use
of the filter.
DANGER
When carrying out any operation on the filter, always respect the safety
regulations previously listed.
Do not carry out operations not envisaged by this user manual.
Each operation must be carried out exclusively by specialized, suitably-
qualified personnel (INSTALLERS, OPERATORS, ENGINEERS, etc.).
WARNING
All operations to the filter that require it to be opened before the duty cycle has
been concluded must always be followed by the removal of the panel formed up
to that time and by thorough washing of all the cloths.
All these operations must be carried out using the same procedure and with the
same care as is usual at the end of filtering, following the instructions contained
in the chapter Drainage and washing of the filter.
1 THE FILTER YIELD IS TOO LOW

During running, there is no outflow of liquid from the filter or the quantity of
such flow is unusually low.
CAUSES
A lump of solid residue has formed in a part of the filter pack;
One or more plates have been fitted the wrong way round.
The cloths used are not the correct type, e.g. the fabric is too tight for a liquid
with a notable clogging effect.
REMEDIAL ACTION
STOP THE PUMPS IMMEDIATELY!
If continuing to filter, the plates may cave in.
The solid lump may only be removed by stopping filtration and opening the
filter pack.
When effecting the filtration operation pay closer attention to the balance
between flow rate and filter capacity.
All plates should have their pairs of lateral holes properly aligned and joined
in such a way as to create two lateral collectors inside which the filtered liquid
may flow. Just one plate fitted the wrong way round can block completely the
outflow of filtered liquid.
In fact, with the two product outflow holes in the opposite position, the plate
is full and without holes; this can therefore block the collector and prevent
the outflow of liquid.
Open the filter pack, check all plates and turn round those that are wrongly
positioned
It is necessary to replace the set of cloths with one made from a fabric that is
suitable for the product to be processed.
Check that the liquid being filtered is that for which the filter is intended and if
necessary call the Customer Service Center.
FP1500_895799_1009R00
35
2 A LARGE AMOUNT OF LIQUID IS DRIPPING FROM THE PLATES
During running, a large quantity of liquid drips down from the plates.
CAUSES
If the machine is carrying out its first filtration operation or has a new set of cloths
it is normal for liquid to seep out until the cloths have been drenched with
product.
Subsequently, during filtration a MODERATE leakage of liquid is also to be
considered normal, especially in the case of filters with many plates and cloths.
If the leakage is excessive or splashes of liquid are evident, it means that the
cloth has been creased at that point, thus breaking the seal and allowing an
outflow of product. It is also likely that the cloth is torn.
REMEDIAL ACTION
Stop filtration, open the filter pack, check the condition of the damaged cloth
and replace if necessary.
3 THE OUTFLOW OF FILTERED LIQUID IS TURBID

The filtered liquid is unusually turbid or even dirty.
CAUSES
One or more cloths have been fitted the wrong way round.
One or more cloths have tears.
REMEDIAL ACTION
Open the pack, check the state and position of the cloths.
Put badly-placed cloths in the correct position and replace damaged ones.
4 THE FEED PUMP IS NOT WORKING OR DOES NOT DELIVER LIQUID

The feed pump does not work at all or it works, but no liquid passes into the
filter.
CAUSES
The pressure switch is temporarily preventing the pump from running.
The centrifugal pump is disengaged.
DANGER
All ordinary or extraordinary operations on the filter electrical system
should be effected by a qualified TECHNICIAN.
REMEDIAL ACTION
Wait for the pressure switch to restart the pump.
If this does not occur, it means that the internal pressure of the filter has not
dropped, indicating in most cases that the filter is clogged and therefore
needs to be opened and washed.
If the pump non does not start, this may also be due to the triggering of the
thermal cutout.
Eliminate the cause of the overload or contact your Customer Service Center.
Prime the pump after first making sure that the suction pipe is filled with
liquid.
36 FP1500_895799_1009R00
5 LIQUID IS LEAKING FROM THE FEED PUMP
CAUSES
The pump gaskets are worn.
The intake and delivery connections are not completely sealed. In this case
the pump may also suck in air and reduce flow rate.
REMEDIAL ACTION
Arrange to replace the gaskets. Contact your Customer Service Center.
Check connection joints and tighten as necessary.
6 AFTER A PLATE SHAKING PROCEDURE THE FILTER FAILS TO

START A NEW FILTERING CYCLE
CAUSES
The device for monitoring the turning speed of the shaker shaft is not in the
right position.
REMEDIAL ACTION
Make the shaft complete a few turns in manual mode.
FP1500_895799_1009R00

10. Storage
Whenever a long period of machine inactivity is foreseen, we recommend
providing it with a thorough cleaning.
Whenever systems are installed outdoors, the plastic parts must be provided
with protection. Prolonged exposure to atmospheric agents such as dust and
water, substantial and sudden changes in temperature can lead to the premature
deterioration of the elements above.
The filtration cloths must be removed and stored in a clean dry room far from
direct sunlight and atmospheric agents.
11. Scrapping and elimination

Except for certain parts in plastic (primarily filter plates, pipes handles,
handwheels, sealing gaskets, etc.), the machine is mainly built in FE360 steel. ,
Whenever the machine must be scrapped, its composite materials must be
divided and eliminated in accordance with the local regulations in force.
Demolition and scrapping operations must be assigned solely to adequately
trained personnel in possession of the appropriate equipment
