Abstract: An arrangement is provided for detecting a damage of a filter fabric (8) of a disc filter (1) at a disc filter unit comprising disc filters. The arrangement includes a measurement bar (20) that includes two or more microphones (21), a store (45) including stored sound samples, at least one alarming means and a processing arrangement (43) for analyzing online sound or sound samples captured by the microphones (21). The processing arrangement (43) is connected to the microphones (21), the store (45) and the at least one alarming means. A method is also disclosed for detecting a damage of a filter fabric (8) of a disc filter (1) at a disc filter unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (14) and a method for installing a filter bag having an open end on a sector (5) of a disc filter (1). The device (14) comprises a substantially horizontal elongated body (15) having a first end and a second end and at least three clamping devices (16) attached to the body (15). Each clamping device (16) comprises a substantially vertical supporting leg (17). The device (14) comprises a suspension arrangement for the filter bag at both ends of the body (15).
