Isolatable Filter Plates
Mechanical component failure prevents

normal operation of one intermediate
filter module
e.g. bearing failure occurs, which
prevents advancing one of the filter cloths
The problem cannot be fixed immediately

but the process cannot be interrupted –
the filter is required to operate
Isolate the filter plate with the

mechanical problem and operate at
reduced capacity until the replacement
parts can be installed
