Typical Disc Sector Problems

The following is a list of some typical disc sector segment problems that can be encountered along with the possible cause.

PROBLEM: Stock buildup on the outside of the segment and on the inside of the filter bag.

CAUSE: Typically this is a result of inadequately functioning showers. Lumps will develop and eventually pierce through the filter media requiring premature changing of the filter media.

PROBLEM: Stock build up inside the segments resulting in reduced drainage.

CAUSE: Typically this is a result of inadequately functioning showers, or poorly designed disc sector segments. Because of CorruPlate’sÔ patented corrugated design, it virtually cleans itself eliminating the problem of stock build-up inside the segments.

PROBLEM: Cracking/breaking of the perforated face plates.

CAUSE: Usually this is caused from metal fatigue. Perforated plates normally have support ribs every 1”-1 ½” apart. The plates are welded to the ribs every 3”-4” vertically. Therefore, the sheer number of welds does not allow the plates to expand or contract. These cracks/breaks eventually tear through the filter media requiring premature changing.

Typical Filter Bag Problems

The following is a list of some typical filter media problems that can be encountered along with their possible cause.

PROBLEM: Zipper failure

CAUSE: The zipper is the weakest point of the filter bag usually because inferior or too small zippers are used or too small. P&P Filtration always uses on all it’s filter materials bag first quality Kynar zippers and thread

PROBLEM: Seams give out

CAUSE: Seams are also a very weak point of a filter bag and usually this is caused from low quality thread and poor quality fabrication. P&P’s sewn bag and fused bag are made out of once piece therefore eliminating 50% of the problem of failed seams and in addition, P&P utilizes only Kynar thread on all of it’s filter bags. With respect to fused bags, basically the bag will wear out before the seam or the zipper will give way but the fused seam will not.

PROBLEM: Loose fitting filter media on disc sector segment

CAUSE: The cause could be insuffient shrinkage at installation or it could be due to the wrong material specifications.
