Maintenance During normal disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly, inspect the key areas of the strainer that may require maintenance: 1) Soil. Inspect for soil particulates or foreign matter caught in the element. Remove as necessary. 2) Tri-Clamp Gasket / O-Ring. Inspect for cuts, abrasions, tears, holes, deformity, or other visible damage. Replace as necessary or no longer than a recommended annual basis. 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. 6) Magnetic Trap a. Remove and clean Magnetic Trap Strainer Element and Element Frame at least once per shift.
b. Evaluate magnets for bent/misaligned magnet tubes. c. Evaluate magnet tubes for surface finish damage/cracks. d. Perform annual gauss reading efficacy testing.
Remove and clean the strainer element at least once per shift. More frequent removal and cleaning may be required with heavier soils.
