General Description

The electric driven agitators are designed to drive paddle assemblies primarily for
the agitation of Solventborne and Waterborne paint.

Two types of Agitator mounting are available Inverter or Manual Variator control to
suit customer preferences for speed change.

The Agitator complies with current EU CE and ATEX legislation.

Operating Principle

An AC induction electric motor drives an in-line gearbox which in turn drives a
shaft and stainless steel three bladed paddle assembly.

A robust coupling connects the gearbox shaft to the paddle shaft.
A PTFE lip seal ensures sealing of the paddle shaft through the lid of the tank.

The assembly is mounted Vertically and ‘off set’ from the centre of the tank, the
paddle design moves the fluid in a downward offset centrifugal direction.

The correct positioning of the agitator on the tank lid is important to create the
optimum agitation and perform correct mixing without the use of baffles mounted
inside the tank. (See Installation Section)

Electrical Drives

Inverter Controlled - The rotational speed of the paddle assembly is controlled by
adjusting the motor frequency range between 20 and 80 Hz by connecting the
electric motor to a suitable AC frequency Inverter Drive.

The speed adjustment is made by control of the Inverter Frequency Output
through manual operation or from a PLC analogue output.
The motor frequency is directly proportional to the agitator rotational speed and
provides an output speed control factor of 4, the gearbox ratio determining the final
output speed. (See specifications section)

If required the speed of rotation can be reduced in proportion to the fluid level in
the tank. It is good practice however, particularly with waterborne paint to maintain
a high fluid level in the mix tank.

Mechanical Variator Controlled – The rotational speed of the paddle assembly is
controlled by adjustment of the hand wheel incorporated on the variator/gearbox
unit. The speed control is over a factor of 5, the gearbox ratio determining the final
output speed. (See specifications section)
An optional gravitational indicator can be fitted to the standard handwheel.

Note: The unit must be running to be able to adjust the speed

General - To eliminate the possibility of any oil contamination into the paint tank
from a failed or leaking gearbox seal a Flinger Plate is incorporated onto the shaft
to direct any oil escape into the support housing. Drainage is through the 1/8
connection, a Ø6 mm hose fitting or similar can be connected to allow any
drainage to be piped away from the tank lid.
In addition a PTFE shaft seal is incorporated in the support housing to prevent any
unintentional ingress from entering from the tank lid.

ATEX Conditions for Use - Section 2.2

ATEX Certification: Agitator Shaft and Mounting Assembly. (Cat. 1)

Model 106946; 106948

Special Conditions for Safe use.

The ancillary Electric motor plus the connecting Gearbox used to power the agitator shaft must be
adequately rated for the intended use and be declared conformant for the category of the
equipment and potentially explosive atmosphere.

Installer shall ensure that the mixing vessel the agitator is attached to does not contain by mass
greater than 7.5% in total of magnesium, titanium or zirconium.

Operator shall ensure that there is less than 1 Ohm resistance between metallic parts of the
mounting assembly and agitator shaft to the mixing vessel.

Operator shall ensure the mixing vessel is adequately bonded to the main protective earth.

Operator shall ensure greater than 50 mm clearance exists between the tip of the paddle and the
side wall of the mixing vessel.

Operator shall ensure greater than 50 mm clearance between the bottom of the tank and lowest
part of the agitator paddle or shaft.

Operator shall visually inspect the shaft for signs of damage or distortion that may reduce the
clearance requirement.
