Troubleshooting Rotary Vacuum Disc Filters

Situation 1 – You are Experiencing Low Flow Levels and Wet Cake

While under vacuum, the cloth disc sector bag is sucked up against the solid sections of the sector. Where the cloth contacts the metal or plastic, no filtration is taking place. This can affect up to sixty percent of the cloth area. Backer cloths – made of polypropylene filaments in a honeycomb configuration – allow for the entire surface of the disc sector bag to filter slurry.
Micronics would be happy to provide a trial set of backer cloths for your Vacuum Filter Disc. Please contact us for assistance.

Situation 2 – You are Experiencing Production Loss and Thinner, Wetter Cake

A worn-out valve can cause timing issues, loss of vacuum, and even halt production. We provide standard replacement valves as well as abrasion-resistant valves.

Situation 3 – Are you Finding Disc Sector Recovery To Be a Hassle?

With Micronics’ expertise, fortunately, it doesn’t have to be your hassle! Box up your disc sectors and ship them to Micronics’ Winthrop, ME facility. We will strip off the old sector bag, put on the new cloth, and steam-shrink the bag onto the sector for a perfect fit. Micronics also has an experienced field service crew that can do the job onsite.
