Danger of injury due to improper tensioning of the cassettes!
When tensioning the crossflow filter elements (TFF), it is imperative that the required
tightening torque be maintained. Deviating tightening torques can lead to severe
injuries or destruction of the filter cassette itself.
− You will find the required tightening torques in the documentation for the cross-
flow filters (TFF).
Keep the thread of the pull rods and tensioning nuts clean and, above all,
free of grease!
− If the threading becomes contaminated with grease or dirt, the tensioning forces
will be affected and the cassettes may be destroyed.
