Why Filter Plate Sealing Surfaces Leak & Spray Slurry
Symptoms · Root Causes · Proven SolutionsSlurry seeps or sprays from gaps between stacked plates, wasting material, polluting the workshop and preventing the target cake dryness.
What Is Happening?
Slurry seeps or sprays from gaps between stacked plates, wasting material, polluting the workshop and preventing the target cake dryness.
Common Symptoms
- Slurry drips or sprays along plate sealing grooves
- Filter cake remains wet with high moisture
- Leaked slurry covers the floor and creates hazards
- Leakage continues despite normal feed pressure
4 Root Causes
Aged Gaskets
Cracked or displaced seals leave permanent gaps.
Low Clamping Pressure
The hydraulic system cannot maintain adequate force.
Scratched Sealing Faces
Wear marks create leakage paths.
3 Recommended Actions
Clean Sealing Grooves
Use soft brushes and clean water after every cycle.
Replace Damaged Gaskets
Install matched seals before they harden or crack.
Calibrate & Repair
Verify hydraulic pressure and polish minor sealing-face scratches.
