What You Need to Know Before Replacing Your Filter Leaves
Functioning filter leaves are critical for your operations, and any problems can wreak havoc on
your productivity and profitability. Like any essential piece of equipment, they require regular
monitoring and maintenance to ensure they are performing at their best. Pressure filter leaves
can experience complications from a number of factors, including damage, clogging, and
general wear and tear. Because of its high cost, many operators will delay replacing their filter
leaves, which can reduce efficiency and product quality and increase the risk of damage beyond
function.
But before you rush to replace your filter leaves, it’s important to know there are other options,
including rescreening them. Rescreening is a process by which the mesh screen on a filter leaf
within a pressure leaf filter system is replaced, improving filtration capabilities. Even though it is
aneffective, cost-efficient way to enhance filter leaf performance, there are some important
things to know about it.
For example, rescreening:
Can extend the life of yourequipment
Not only does rescreening your filter leaves provide an immediate increase in efficiency and
performance, it also protectsthe other parts of the equipment from damage caused by the
stress inadequate filter leaves put on the rest of the system.
Reducesdowntime
It is much easier to plan your operations around regularly scheduled maintenance than to
navigate unexpected shutdowns because of nonfunctioning equipment.
Minimizes waste and promotes sustainability
Rescreening filter leaves produces less waste than replacing them. In addition, poorly
functioning leavescan increase the waste of resources that would otherwise be useable and
lead to leaks and spills, which could pose an environmental risk.
Keeps your equipment on the cutting-edge
Rescreeningmaterials and processes are constantly advancing.Frequently evaluating your
filter leaves for rescreening ensures your equipment is supported by the most up-to-date
technology.
Maintains industry standards
Many industries must meet regulatory requirements when it comes to regular maintenance and
performance checks on their filtration equipment systems. Rescreening helps you remain in
compliance and show a commitment to operational excellence to regulators.
Isn’t always possible
While rescreening has many benefits, it is not always a viable option, especially if your filter
leaves have been rescreened before. Some leaves are designed to be rescreened more than
others. For example, riveted filter leaves have a limit on the number of times they can berescreened, and the limit varies depending on the manufacturer. Over time, repeated rescreening enlarges the rivet holes, referred to as being “wallered out,” making further repairs
impossible.Welded leaves, on the other hand, can be rescreened a quasi-infinite number of
times, but do cost significantly more than riveted leaves.
