3) Element. Check for bent components, abnormal holes, or other wear and tear or damage. Replace as necessary. 4) Mesh Overlay (if applicable). Inspect for tears or other damage. Replace as necessary or no longer than a recommended monthly basis. Higher mesh sizes (finer mesh) may require more frequent replacement. 5) Filter Tubes (if applicable). Inspect for tears or other damage. Filter tubes are considered “single-use” and should be replaced in between each production run and/or cleaning procedure. Remove and clean the strainer element at least once per shift. More frequent removal and cleaning may be required with heavier soils.
Troubleshooting Table 3: Troubleshooting Problems
Solutions
1. Damaged Element (replace). 2. Damaged housing (replace).
Element won’t fit into housing
1. If the debris is smaller than the perforation size, then a new element insert with smaller perforation holes will be required. 2. A different straining element (perforated, wedgewire) may be required. 3. If present, the mesh overlay or filter tube may be damaged (replace). 4. The element may be damaged (replace). 1. Strainer element size may be too small (use a larger element size). 2. The strainer is not cleaned out adequately during cleaning steps. 3. A dual strainer assembly may be required to switch between strainers and continue running while one strainer is being used (contact Sani-Matic for more information). 1. Tighten clamp. If leakage is still occurring replace the tri- clamp gasket. 2. Check the system temperature and pressure to ensure the pressure does not exceed the pressure ratings.
Particles are passing by the strainer.
Strainer is plugging frequently.
