3 Installation
Study the instructions carefully and pay special attention to the warnings!
Always check the Agitator before operation - see chapter 3.3 Pre-use check.
The Agitator is for permanent fastening.
Make sure that the motor correspond to the environment.
Step 2
Ensure that the tank, where the welding flange are to be welded in,
can handle the forces applied by the Agitator: Torque Mv, Bending
torque Mb and Side thrust Fs.
The values are depending on the Agitator configuration. The
following information is required to calculate the forces:
P: Power of the motor in [kW]
n: Speed of Agitator shaft [RPM]
S: Shaft length according to Agitator type designation -Sxxxx-
in [mm]
D: Largest impeller diameter according to Agitator designation
-Pxxx- in [mm]
The values can be calculated as follows:
Type ALS/ALB:
Mv [Nm] = 23873 x P / n
Fs [N] = 4.5 x Mv x 1000 / D
Mb [Nm] = Fs x S / 1000

Step 3
During the design phase of the tank, ensure sufficiently rigidity
of the tank.
Ensure that the max. bending angle (A), at loads from Step 2 does
not exceed according to below scheme
RPM:
<100
>100
