INSTALLATION SITE
Mixer drives must be properly installed if they are to produce the rated torque. Improper
installation may lead to oil leaks, reduced life or even catastrophic failure. Cleveland Mixers
are intended to be installed under the following conditions:
Unimpeded airflow to and around the mixer.
•
Accessibility to oil drain, motor, seal and breather plugs.
•
Mounting surfaces must be level, torsional rigid and dampened against vibration.
•
Unless special measures are taken, the immediate vicinity around the mixer drive should
•
not be exposed to any aggressive or corrosive substances or gases.
If the mixer has a steady bearing, the shaft and tripod must be properly aligned.
•
All bolt connection surfaces must be clean and free from contamination or corrosion.
•
Tank walls must be designed to withstand forces created by the mixer.
•
Sufficient headroom over the mixer for installation and to be able to perform annual
•
maintenance on the mixer.
Designed input voltage or air pressure to run motor. Access to flush materials for seals
•
when required.
The responsibility for the design and construction of the support foundation and tank is with
end user. The foundation must be adequate to withstand normal operating loads and possible
overloads while maintaining alignment to attached system components under such loads.
An engineered structural steel foundation should be designed to provide adequate rigidity
and prevent loads from distorting the housing or cause misalignment of internal gears and
shafts.
When flange-mounting the mixer, the bulk head plate must be engineered to minimize
buckling distortions and support the cantilevered weight of the mixer.
If a concrete foundation is used, allow the concrete to set firmly before bolting down the
mixer. Grout structural steel mounting pads and bolts of sufficient size into the concrete to
adequately distribute the load stress onto the concrete foundation.
The mixer must be mounted in the designed position in order to stay properly lubricated.
Consult Cleveland Mixer before making any changes to the mixer or mounting position.
PRE INSTALLATION CHECK
Mixers are unpacked and all parts are accounted for
•
The installation site meets requirements listed above
•
A professional is onsite with the correct equipment to safely and securely lift the mixer
•
and it's components into position
A professional electrician is onsite to wire the motor/drive
•
You have all the necessary tools to install the mixer including a torque wrench (reducer
•
hardware will be metric)
You've read through the O&M manual for the mixer, the manual for the motor and
•
manuals for mechanical seal or speed drive (if applicable).
The tank is empty, clean and you have access to work inside to install impellers.
•
(if your mixer was supplied with a steady bearing assembly) Your steady bearing tripod
•
has been laser aligned with the mixer shaft and welded in it's designated location.
