What to do if there is cake ejection from Bauer FAN Separator PSS 1.1-300?
- D
  davidoconnorAug 14, 2025
  To prevent cake ejection from your Bauer Water Filtration System, increase the leverage of the weights. If the pump pressure is too high (the optimal pressure/operation for the separator is 2 m water column with a steady feed rate), reduce it by lowering the pump capacity or replacing the pump. Ensure the medium is thoroughly mixed and homogenized to maintain a uniform solid cake speed, especially if the incoming concentration of solids fluctuates greatly or the separated medium has too little solid content. If solids are too fine and lack a fibrous structure, use a finer screen.

What to do if Bauer FAN Separator PSS 1.1-300 Water Filtration Systems have no discharging of solids?
- R
  Raymond GriffinAug 18, 2025
  If your Bauer Water Filtration System isn't discharging solids or is only minimally discharging liquid, first check the electrical connection to ensure the rotation direction of the separator isn't reversed. Also, inspect and clean the auger to clear any clogged channels.

Why does the geared motor of Bauer FAN Separator PSS 1.1-300 switch off?
- J
  john96Aug 21, 2025
  If your Bauer Water Filtration System's geared motor switches off, the cause might be overload. Check the motor protection and set it to the maximum value if needed. High power consumption due to hard solid cake could also be the reason; refer to the configuration instructions in the section Initial Startup. Incorrect settings for maximum power consumption or a damaged control unit may also be responsible, in which case a qualified electrician should readjust the shut-off limit according to the switch cabinet circuit diagram. Lastly, foreign bodies blocking the auger can cause this issue, so inspect the inflow, auger, and screen, removing any obstructions.

Why is the solid cake very hard in Bauer FAN Separator PSS 1.1-300?
- D
  Denise ThomasAug 31, 2025
  If the solid cake from your Bauer Water Filtration System is very hard, and the solid matter comes out slowly and very dry, and the amperemeter indicates higher values than usual, reduce the leverage of the weights to decrease the contact pressure of the output regulator, as excessive force could damage the screen. Also, check the consistency of the supply medium and the supply line for any blockages, especially if the supply medium or line has been changed.

What causes very low solid discharge in Bauer FAN Separator PSS 1.1-300?
- M
  Mitchell MccarthySep 3, 2025
  If your Bauer Water Filtration System's solid discharge is very low while the effluent discharge is normal and the separator is running, consider adding some solid to the inflow if the solid portion in the inflow is very low. Alternatively, install a screen with a smaller gap width (options: 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.0 mm) if the current gap width is too large, and be aware of changes in the normal operating condition after changing the gap width.

How to troubleshoot no solid or liquid discharge from Bauer FAN Separator PSS 1.1-300 Water Filtration Systems?
- L
  linda06Nov 23, 2025
  If your Bauer Water Filtration System isn't producing solids or discharging liquid while running, and the separator is running, several issues could be at play. First, check the material supply to ensure it hasn't been interrupted – verify the pump is on and the inflow element or ventilation opening isn't blocked, causing a siphon effect. Also, ensure the overflow line is clear and not submerged. A clogged or restricted effluent line could also be the culprit, so clean the lines and consider installing a ventilation pipe with a larger cross-section. If the auger is turning clockwise, swap two phases of the electricity line to make it turn counterclockwise. An incorrect pump rotation direction can also cause this; change the pump's rotation direction. Finally, long fibers blocking liquid tr...

What to do if solid and effluent discharge is too low in Bauer FAN Separator PSS 1.1-300?
- D
  Dr. Casey SmithNov 26, 2025
  If your Bauer Water Filtration System has a solid discharge or effluent discharge that is too low, first inspect the pump (rotation direction) and control the pump capacity, also check the transport line if the pump capacity (feed rate) is too low. If there's a lifting effect in the overflow line, attach the ventilation valve/pipe to the inflow of the separator and reduce the feed rate. Reduce the leverage of the weights if there's too much contact pressure. Also, check the auger diameter and screen for wear, replacing them if necessary. Ensure the screen is correctly positioned and clean it if clogged. Clean the auger if the channels are clogged, and contact FAN company for inflow changes. Check guide rails for soiling/clogging if the screen is worn in certain places. If the slurry is pum...
