2 THE DESCRIPTION OF THE SELF-CLEANING FILTER
2.1 THE PURPOSE
The self-cleaning filter is designed for one purpose only – filtration of the achieved juice after the pressing. The
filter removes bigger particles, which remain in the juice after the pressing.

- Mounted on trolley.
- Self-cleaning with a scraper that scrapes particles trapped in the filter.
- Equipped with vacuum gauge and looking glass pipe.
- Manual valve for sludge outlet when the pressure inside the filter increases.

3 SAFETY
3.1 SAFETY ELEMENTS
Fuse (*)
The electric command box has a safety fuse to protect electrical circuits from overloading. This feature may not
be present in all models depending on the year of production.
(*) Some filters may not present this feature.
3.2 SAFETY MECHANISMS
Commands
The control panel is clearly visible, easily reachable and it is at the front of the self-cleaning filter, far from the
dangerous places. The switches can be used just for the purposes they are meant to.
Sudden black-out
In case of a sudden blackout changing or reconnecting to the electric network the self-cleaning filter does not
cause dangerous situations such as:
- a sudden start,
- improper operation of safety devices.
Power supply
The self-cleaning filter has a regulated grounding of all built-in electric devices, the control panel and an
overvoltage protection with a safety contact switch.
3.3 SAFETY REGULATIONS
The owner of the self-cleaning filter must ensure:
- that the safety regulations are available to the personnel operating the self-cleaning filter,
- that the personnel operating the self-cleaning filter is acquainted with the safety regulations and skilled for the
operation of the machine,
- that the safety regulations are considered.
The intervention in the command box is allowed to authorized personnel only. Authorised personnel
perform the preventive maintenance work without intervention in the electric command box.
The safety regulations from the manufacturer are only the basics of protection from dangerous
situations. An efficient protection from dangerous situations is not only about knowledge regarding
them, but also putting them in practice.
