Air Requirements
For continuous use, the 1/4 HP (187 W) agitator air
motor typically requires 2 cfm (0.06 m3/min.) of air.
Air Line Accessories
A bleed-type air shutoff valve (SV) is required; it isolates
the air line components for servicing. The air shutoff
valve should be installed in the supply line and can be
used to stop and start the agitator. If the valve is used to
stop and start the agitator, you do not need to set the
agitator speed each time it is used.
Order air shutoff valves by the part numbers listed
below:
208390
1/4 npt(m) x 1/4 npt(m)
208391
3/8 npt(m) x 3/8 npt(f)
208392
3/8 npt(f)
x 1/4 npt(m)
208393
3/8 npt(m) x 3/8 npt(m)
Install an air line filter (AF) to remove harmful dirt and
moisture from the air supply. To order an air line filter,
order part number 106148 for a 3/8” npt, 20-micron
element, 5 oz. bowl, without gauge.
Downstream from the filter, install an air line lubricator
(AL) for automatic air motor lubrication. Set the
lubricator feed rate at 1 drop of oil per minute for high
speed or continuous duty usage. Do not overfeed oil or
exhaust air may become contaminated. To manually
lubricate the air motor, see Lubricate the Air Motor,
page 9. To order a 3/8” npt air line lubricator, order part
number 214847.
Attach an air line quick disconnect or ball valve for main
air shutoff to the air line. Order part number 208536,
quick disconnect coupler, and part number 169969, 1/8
npt(m) fitting.
To reduce the risk of fire and explosion, always
maintain a minimum of 1 in. (25.4 mm) clearance
between rotating agitator parts and container to
prevent sparks from contact.
