Information
Warning
Warning
The filter systems may not be installed until all construction measures
have been finished. If extremely dirty work accumulates during the
installation of the filter systems, the systems should be suitably protected
(e.g. by covering them with plastic sheeting) from damage, dirt, dust, and
water.
The installation of the filter systems is connected with setting and
adjusting tasks; for this reason, a STEINECKER service technician must
in any case perform the initial installation or the initial installation must be
carried out under his or her instruction.
Otherwise, STEINECKER can assume no warranty for the precise
functioning of the filter systems and no liability for any damage that
appears.
The filters and dosing vessels must be installed in a horizontal position.
The same applies for the diatomaceous earth disposal unit (optional).
Information
Since the filter systems are installed and operated within a network of
other machines, they must be connected to the corresponding supply
lines by a STEINECKER service technician or under his or her instruction.
Otherwise, STEINECKER can assume no guarantee for the precise
functioning of the filter systems and no liability for any damage that
appears.
The following connections are to be made as supply connections
according to the customer-specific connecting diagram:
• Electrical diagram, see wiring diagram
• Product connection
• Water connection
• Control air connection
• Sterile air connection
• CO2 connection
• Waste water connection
• Diatomaceous earth disposal unit connection (optional)
• Backwashing water connection (optional)
• Gully water connection
1.8 Disposal
• Wood
• Cardboard, corrugated cardboard, bituminised cardboard
• Steel nails and screws
• Sheet iron bands
• Polyethylene sheeting
These materials must be disposed of in an environment-friendly manner
or recycled at local waste disposal facilities.
The filter systems may be used only for the specified application.
Improper use, the use of unsuitable components, or changes in regard to
the intended use may lead to malfunctions for which STEINECKER
assumes no liability.

The task of the TFS filter is to filter out solids from liquid suspensions
(beer filtration).
Betriebsanleitung Filter TFS Ausgabe 1 November 2002
The optional cover lifting device is still present in the case of older TFS models
and may still be present in the case of converted horizontal filters.
The lifting mechanism for the filter cover (2) consists of the cover lifting device
with swivel arm (3), which is operated by pushing a ratchet onto the square end
(6) of the threaded spindle (5).
After removing the supply lines from the filter cover and loosening all screws or
mushroom head anchor screws (1), you can lift the cover and swivel it to the side.
The interior of the TFS filter consists of the register (1) and the filter
candles (2).
At least two sight glasses have been mounted to the vessel of the candle
filter.
Every sight glass (1) is equipped with a pilot light for the visual inspection
of the filtration process and the state of cleanliness.
There is a pushbutton (2) on the pilot light to activate it.
To monitor the filling level, the dosing vessel is optionally equipped with
three probes (when fully automated).
The design may strongly deviate from this drawing. Please check your
plant accordingly.
Betriebsanleitung Filter TFS Ausgabe 1 November 2002
2.5.1.1 Precoating
The filter is precoated by flushing the lines with deaerated water, thereby
filling the filter. After the water circuit has been created, the filter is vented
via two valves at intervals.
After that, the first precoating is stirred in the dosing vessel (one part
diatomaceous earth and five parts water) and introduced into the TFS
filter using the dosing pump.
The introduction of the first precoating should ensure that an even coating
does not take less than 10 minutes.
If the dosing vessel has been emptied, the dosing pump shuts down. After
that, the second precoating is stirred and also introduced into the filter.
In the case of the Syskron BOTEC control system (or another control
system), the keypad with the displays is located outside of the filter
system area.
The controls are described in the operating instructions for the filter
system control systems.
To prevent damage due to corrosion, the fresh water must be free of iron
particles or particles of other metals. In addition, STEINECKER's own
requirements on fresh water must be observed.
Information
For the injection of the dosing vessels with CO2 gas, supply connections
must be carried out according to the customer-specific connection
diagram. A minimum pressure of 1 bar must be guaranteed.
Risk
Only those people may work on the filter systems who can perform their

Risk
6.1 Introduction
After shutting down the filter systems for servicing tasks, they must be
secured against unauthorised reactivation:
1. Secure the main switch against disengagement with a safety sign.
Risk 2. Block off all supply lines (feed and return lines).
At the end of servicing work, check all screw connections for a tight fit.
If any safety devices have been removed, their correct function must be
checked at the end of servicing work.
Auxiliary materials and waste must be disposed of in an environmentally
safe manner according to legal waste disposal regulations.
All connections, feed and return lines, connecting parts, etc. must be
checked for a tight fit, leakage, or damage.
Make sure that the filter systems are switched current-free before
disconnecting or connecting electrical or electronic components.
Warning
The electrical system of the filter systems must be inspected regularly.
Damage like corrosion, loose supply lines, or damaged insulation must be
reported immediately and repaired.

Information
Information manufacturer.
If a fault appears in the filter systems, first check whether the settings and
adjustments are correct and whether it was operated according to the
operating instructions.
For the elimination of malfunctions, the cause of the malfunction must first
be recognised. This will be displayed either on the monitor (control
system error) or can be directly recognised on the filter systems; see
Section 5.
For all work on the filter systems, the main switch must be:
1. Switched to OFF
2. Secured against reactivation
Risk 3. Provided with a warning sign for the switch cabinet
For work requiring that you enter the dosing vessels, make sure that no
CO2 remains in the vessel using a suitable measuring instrument (e.g.
DRÄGER's MiniWarn).
