1.9.5 Filtration Problems

The majority of filtration problems arise from operator error. One of the most common errors is placing the filter paper on the bottom of the filter pan rather than over the filter screen.

Whenever the complaint is "the pump is running, but no oil is being filtered", check the installation of the filter paper, and the paper size. While you are checking the filter paper, verify that the O-rings on the bottom of the filter pan, and on the male disconnect (at inside rear of filter cabinet) are present and in good condition. Missing or worn O-rings will allow the pump to suck air and decrease its efficiency.

If the pump motor overheats, its thermal overload will trip and the motor will not start until it is reset. If the pump motor does not start, press the red reset switch located on the end of the motor nearest the operator. If the pump then starts, something caused the motor to overheat. It may be just that several frypots were being filtered one after the other and the pump got hot. Letting the pump cool down for at least a half-hour is all that is required in this case. More often, the pump overheated for one of the following reasons:

•Shortening has solidified in the pan or filter lines.

•Attempt to filter unheated oil or shortening. Cold oil and shortening are thicker and cause the pump motor to work harder and overheat.

If the motor tries to run but the pump does not, there is a blockage in the pump. Incorrectly sized or installed paper will allow food particles and sediment to pass through the filter pan and into the pump. When sediment enters the pump, the gears can bind up causing the motor to overload, again tripping the thermal overload. Solidified shortening in the pump will also cause it to seize, with the same result.

A pump seized by debris or hard shortening can usually be freed by manually moving the gears with a screwdriver or other instrument.

1.Disconnect power to the filter system.

2.Remove the input plumbing from the pump.

3.Use a screwdriver to manually turn the gears.

•Turning the pump gears backwards will release a hard particle and allow its removal.

•Turning the pump gears forward will push softer objects and solid shortening through the pump and allow free movement of the gears.
