Drum Filter Re Clothing Maintenance Procedures Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply correct safety procedures when handling and replacing drum filter clothing.
• Demonstrate step-by-step removal and installation of drum filter clothing according to manufacturer specifications.
• Analyze wear patterns on used clothing to determine replacement intervals.
• Implement tensioning and sealing techniques to prevent leakage and ensure filtration efficiency.
• Evaluate the condition of support structures and seals during maintenance routines.
• Document maintenance activities and report deviations from standard procedures.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practical sessions are essential to develop competence in drum filter re-clothing procedures. Learners will practice dismantling, inspecting, re-clothing, and testing drum filters under supervision to apply theoretical knowledge and gain confidence in maintenance tasks.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Drum Filter Inspection and Dismantling — Learners perform a full inspection of a drum filter, identify wear or damage, and safely dismantle the assembly to access the filter cloth. (4h)
• Practical 2: Filter Cloth Selection and Re-Clothing — Learners select the correct filter cloth, measure and cut it, then install and tension it onto the drum according to manufacturer specifications. (6h)
• Practical 3: Post-Maintenance Testing and Troubleshooting — After re-clothing, learners conduct performance tests (flow, pressure, clarity) and troubleshoot any issues such as leaks or uneven filtration. (4h)
• Practical 4: Integrated Re-Clothing Simulation — Learners complete a full re-clothing cycle from inspection to final testing under timed conditions, simulating a real maintenance task. (2h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.
