GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Drum International range of Micronic Filters are supplied in three basic sizes
to suit various applications when discharging bulk foodstuff. The filters cover a
performance range of 200m 3/hr to 1000m 3/hr, with the filter element being rated
at 5 micron, (Refer page 3 for further details of dimensions and performance fig-
ures). Both the Filter bowl and element are of stainless steel construction thus
making the cleaning and maintenance of these items a quick and simple opera-
tion.
A sightglass is built into the filter bowl wall to allow visual inspection of the filter
element, additionally, a coloured indicator is located on the filter body to give
warning of the element’s condition.
The two larger filter assemblies feature industry standard TW1 flanges allowing
easy fitment into compressor air systems.

2 GENERAL DIMENSIONS AND PERFORMANCE FIGURES
The DRUM range of Micronic filter assemblies are supplied in three basic models to suit various
applications and are classed by the overall length of the filter element. The element sizes are 200,
300, and 450mm. (Refer Figs 1,2, and 3 for dimensions and performance data.)

2. OPERATION OF THE RESTRICTION INDICATOR
An indicator is built into the filter assembly and is activated by a pressure difference
within the filter as the element becomes restricted. The indicator window normally displays a green
sleeve when the element is functioning correctly but as the filter becomes contaminated, the green
sleeve will move upwards allowing the red indicator sleeve to come into view. The indicator will
show fully red when the pressure difference reaches 200 mBar. It is recommended that the
filter element is cleaned as soon as the red sleeve appears, as a drop in air delivery pressure
will occur. (Refer Fig. 4)

3. MAINTENANCE

When the clogging indicator has started to turn red as described in section 2 the filter element will
have to be cleaned. (Refer to Fig 5 for identification of parts)

4 REMOVING THE FILTER ELEMENT

4.1 Before any attempt can be made to remove the filter element, any air in the system must be
vented from the filter by opening the ball valve (15) located at the base of the filter bowl.

4.2 Release the filter bowl (14) by rotating the release knob (1). Ensure filter bowl is supported.

4.3 Remove Filter Bowl taking care not to damage the seal (3)

4.4 Extract the element (5) complete with the two support seals (4) and (6)

4.5 Inspect the seals for damage and replace if neccessary

4991130001 (September 2013) Page 6

4. REMOVING THE FILTER ELEMENT (Cont’d)

4.1 Extract the filter bowl seal from the filter body, inspect for damage and replace if necessary.

5. CLEANING THE FILTER / FILTER ELEMENT

5.1 It is recommended that the filter element be ultrasonically cleaned, if you do not have
acces to such equipment please follow the procedure outlined below

5.2 Immerse the filter element into a suitable receptacle filled with hot soapy water /
commercial detergent and remove any contaminants by agitating and rotating the element

5.3 When the element has been cleaned it is advisable to repeat the process in clean water and
thoroughly rinse until all traces of detergent have been removed. By using a high pressure
water jet or steam pressure lance working from the inside outwards, the same effect can be
achieved. The element should be dried, preferably using a compressed air line again blow-
ing from the inside outwards.

5.4 Visually inspect the element after cleaning for any remaining contaminants and repeat the
cleaning procedure if necessary. The filter element should also be checked for any damage
to the pleated media, if in doubt DO NOT use and replace with a new unit./
