Troubleshooting
Ring Pack Fouling
Solids building up between the moving and fixed rings
Occasionally solids build up within the ring pack itself rather than only on the screen surface, restricting the relative movement of the rings and reducing the self-cleaning action. This shows as rising torque and falling drainage together.

Causes and corrective actions
| Possible cause | Corrective action |
|---|---|
| Hardened solids between rings | Perform a full deep clean of the ring pack. |
| Extended run without deep cleaning | Introduce a periodic deep-clean interval. |
| Worn spacers changing the gap | Inspect and renew spacers to restore the gap. |
| Abrasive grit in the sludge | Add or improve upstream grit removal. |
