FILTERMIST MAINTENANCE
One of the most popular features of the Royal Filtermist is the fact that it
requires minimal maintenance. Unlike media-type systems and electrostatic
units, the Royal Filtermist works almost as well when it is dirty as it does
when it is clean.
For safety purposes, it is necessary to periodically inspect the main components
of the Royal Filtermist for wear or damage, especially if the unit is making loud
noises or exhibiting vibration. Additionally, we recommend that these simple
inspection/maintenance procedures be carried out every 2,000 operating
hours, (every 1,000 hours for more demanding applications):
q Inspect the drum pads for wear and/or matter buildup that could
affect airflow or cause vibration, and replace as necessary. It is
important to understand that the pads that line the Filtermist drum
are not filters. Their presence slows airflow through the unit,
thereby maximizing contact with the drum vanes for greatest overall
impaction efficiency.
Some customers report not having to change drum pads in
certain applications for periods of up to five years. While this
may or may not be the case in your application, it is important to
understand that any visible sign of vibration is often related to solid
matter buildup and should be addressed immediately.
q Inspect and replace the motor mounts and torque limiting straps if
worn or damaged.
q Inspect silencer and replace if worn or damaged. If the silencer is
saturated with oil, it is important to investigate the reason why. This
could be the result of a clogged oil return channel or incorrect drum
rotation. Important — the Filtermist will create suction regardless of
which way the drum spins, but it will only properly collect and return
oil mist if the drum is spinning in the proper direction as indicated by
the arrow on the housing.
q Inspect the housing seal and replace if necessary. This is especially
important on older series units. The redesigned housing of the
Filtermist FX Series virtually eliminates the chance of leakage around
the seal area.
q Check all mounting fixtures such as stands and suspension kits for
damage or signs of fatigue. Repair or replace as necessary.
q Check all other accessories for wear and/or damage (ducting, flange
adapters, etc.). Repair or replace as necessary.
q For your convenience, Royal Products offers complete maintenance
kits for all Filtermist units. These value-priced kits include a drum
pad set, a motor mount set, a silencer, and a housing seal. These
items are also available separately.
IMPORTANT — The recommended maintenance schedule and procedures outlined above are meant to serve as a guide
for most common Filtermist applications. More detailed information is provided in the Royal Filtermist Installation and
Maintenance Manual. When dealing with any equipment of this type, common sense must prevail. Any unsafe conditions
pertaining to the Royal Filtermist must be immediately attended to. It is also important to understand that when Royal
Filtermist units are used in demanding applications such as grinding or cast iron machining, more frequent maintenance
may be required. If you have any questions regarding the maintenance or operation of your Royal Filtermist units, please
refer to the Royal Filtermist Installation and Maintenance Manual or contact one of our engineers at 1-800-645-4174.
