Clipper Falling Off from Vacuum Belt Filter Cloth

In the operation of a vacuum belt filter, the filter cloth plays a crucial role. The detachment of the clipper from the filter cloth is considered a quality failure. Although it is not very common during filtration, it can significantly impact the equipment's operational efficiency. This article examines the causes, effects, and potential solutions to the issue of clipper detachment from vacuum belt filter cloth.

The causes of filter cloth clipper detachment are diverse and may arise from both design and manufacturing defects, as well as improper operation and maintenance practices. Some primary contributing factors include:

Substandard Clipper Quality: The clipper serves as a critical component that connects both ends of the filter cloth. If constructed from inferior materials-characterized by inadequate hardness, poor toughness, or insufficient surface treatment-the clipper becomes susceptible to breakage or detachment during use.

Improper Installation: The installation of the clipper requires adherence to specific procedural guidelines. Failure to follow these guidelines meticulously during installation may result in inadequate securing of the clipper, leading to its eventual detachment during operation.

Severe Wear on the Filter Cloth: Over time, the filter cloth is subjected to physical actions such as abrasion and friction from the material being filtered. This wear can result in damage to the filter cloth, and in severe cases, it may wear down to the clipper area, causing the clipper to lose support and detach.

Improper Operation: During operation, frequent starts and stops, or large fluctuations in material flow and concentration, can put additional stress on the filter cloth and clipper, accelerating wear and increasing the likelihood of detachment.

To address the issue of clipper detachment from vacuum belt filter cloth, the following measures can be taken:

Improve clipper Quality: Use high-quality materials to reduce the risk of breakage and detachment.

Optimize Installation Process: Establish and follow strict installation guidelines for the clipper. During installation, use specialized tools to secure the clipper firmly.

Filter Cloth Maintenance is necessary: Regularly inspect and maintain the filter cloth. Cleaning and proper care will extend the lifespan of the filter cloth and reduce wear.

Optimize Operating Procedures: When operating the vacuum belt filter, it is advisable to avoid frequent starts and stops. Maintain a stable material flow and concentration to prevent unnecessary stress on both the filter cloth and clipper.
