The maintenance cycle for filter cloth is not based on a fixed time period but should be determined by a combination of factors such as current usage conditions. The following suggestions can serve as a reference for customers:
In high temperature, high humidity, high acidity/alkalinity, or environments with many impurities, the wear and corrosion of filter cloth will accelerate. Therefore, more frequent maintenance is required.
The higher the usage frequency of the filter cloth, the faster it wears, requiring more frequent maintenance. Filter cloths used in high-frequency operations may need replacement every three months, while those used less frequently could last up to six months or even longer.
Filter cloths made from materials that are wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and high-temperature-resistant typically have a longer lifespan, and thus require less frequent maintenance. Cloths with a high-density weave are more durable, with better resistance to wear and corrosion, reducing the frequency of maintenance.
Materials containing a large amount of particles may accelerate filter cloth wear. Corrosive materials will accelerate cloth corrosion, while sticky materials may adhere to the filter cloth, causing clogging and affecting filtration performance. In these cases, the maintenance frequency should be increased.
Based on these factors, while a specific maintenance cycle cannot be given, regular checks and assessments should be conducted. Generally, it is recommended to inspect and clean the surface of the filter cloth at least once a week to remove dirt and residues. A more comprehensive check and maintenance, including deep cleaning and inspection for damage or wear, should be done monthly or quarterly, with repairs or replacements as needed.
In addition, proper handling and maintenance methods are crucial to extending the filter cloth's lifespan. Frequent washing or high-pressure cleaning may accelerate wear and deformation, so it is important to follow professional maintenance guidelines.
