Read Entire Assembly Instructions Before You Begin. Familiarize Yourself with All of the Parts,

and Pay Close Attention to All Notes and Highlights.

Crate # 1:

CHECK ALL

ALLEN SCREWS BEFORE PROCEEDING; SCREWS CAN LOOSEN DURING SHIPMENT.

Crate # 2:

Support frames are shipped via common carrier and require loading dock access with a fork lift or jack. If you
do not have a loading dock, then a lift gate-equipped truck must be requested at the time of order.

For your convenience, the jacketed process reactor, the fully assembled reactor head, stirrer shaft & agitators,
Tru-Stir™ stirrer shaft coupling, flake catching cup, PTFE stirrer bearing, temperature probe & adapter, S.S.
inlet/outlet adapters and motor are shipped assembled on the support frame. PTFE sleeves and keck clips are
available separately.

Unpack all of the parts and check against the packing slip to make sure you have received all necessary
components. If possible, keep some of the packaging materials from the wood crates in case you need to return
items for repair or replacement.

• Unpack the support frame with reactor and components by removing the plastic electrical ties that hold

the reactor in place and remove the cardboard/foam packing from around the reactor. Re-tighten all of
the Allen screws with the supplied wrenches, adjust all black knobs and tighten torque knobs. The red
silicone pad should be touching the straight section of the glass below the reactor flange.

• Attach the Tru-Stir™ stirrer shaft coupling to the 1/4 HP electric stirrer motor.

• Contains the condenser, zero dead space drain valve, temperature monitor, motor controller, and other

miscellaneous parts.

Move the reactor assembly and parts near the hood or area where the reactor will be used, but allow enough
space to move freely around the support frame. During setup, preparation, and process, it is best to keep the
wheels in their locked position by stepping down on the tab.

Overhead Stirrer Motor

Air Motor 1/4 HP Vertical Motor

1/4 HP Horizontal Motor Explosion Proof (XP) Motor

The motor is installed on the support frame when shipped. Use the following instructions should you need to remove or
adjust these components.

Components Needed for Overhead Stirrer Motor:
1ea CG-2033-11 1/4 HP Vertical Electric Stirrer Motor
1ea CG-2025-20 Air Motor* (Optional)
1ea CG-2033-31 Digital Electric Stirrer Motor Controller (Only Supplied with 1/4 HP Electric Stirrer Motor)
1ea CG-2044 Tru-Stir™ Stirrer Shaft Coupling
1ea CG-9253-10 Small Kwik Klamp II
1ea CG-3498-03 90° Support Rod

1. The support frame has a universal motor mount. It can be used with an (vertical or horizontal) electric, air, or

optional explosion proof (XP) motor. The mount automatically centers the motor directly above the reactor.

2. The 1/4 HP electric motor is shipped attached to the support frame via four socket head cap screws.

3. When using the 1/4 HP electric motor, the digital controller, with mounting bracket on back panel, needs to be

mounted on the S.S. upright. Use the small Kwik Klamp II and the 90°S.S. support rod to mount the controller to
the support frame. Tighten all knobs securely.

*The Air Motor requires the air supply be filtered and a lubricator be installed between the air source and motor. Filter­Regulator-Lubricator (CG-2025-10) is available separately.

Lower Portion of the

Stirrer Shaft

Glass Filled PTFE Pin

CG-2096

Lower Agitator

The stirrer shaft and agitators are assembled and installed when shipped. Use the following instructions should you need
to remove or adjust these components.

Components Needed for Stirrer Shaft and Agitator Assembly:
1ea CG-2097 Stirrer Shaft
1ea CG-2093 Flake Retaining Cup
1ea CG-2095 Upper PTFE Agitator
1ea CG-2096 Lower High Viscosity PTFE Agitator

1. The lower agitator assembly (CG-2096) is placed on the end of the stirrer shaft aligning the hole on the stirrer

shaft with the holes in the PTFE hub. The sand blasted portion is the lower end of the stirrer shaft. Insert the
glass filled PTFE pin. The pin must be cut to 24mm long before installing. Tighten the compression fitting.
PLEASE NOTE: THE PTFE PIN MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE USING.

2. The upper agitator assembly (CG-2095) slides over the end of the shaft. The height from the bottom will depend on

the total volume you intend to run in the reactor.

3. Once you have the upper agitator in place, tighten the compression fitting as tight as possible (by hand). For use at

higher temperatures, Chemglass recommends heating the upper agitator hub with a heat gun and then retightening.
Then tighten the set screw on the flat of the stirrer shaft using a screwdriver. This will minimize the possibility of
the agitator falling or slipping at higher temperatures.

4. The PTFE flake retaining cup (CG-2093) slides over the top of the stirrer shaft and is positioned approximately 18

inches from the bottom of the lower agitator assembly (CG-2096). For the cup to work effectively, the final position
will have to be adjusted so that it is not less than 1 inch away from the bottom of the PTFE stirrer bearing.
