Air Requirements
For continuous use, the 1/2 HP agitator air motor
typically requires 2 scfm (0.06 m3/min.) of air at 400 rpm
and with 100 psi (7 bar) inlet pressure.
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

Install an air line filter (AF) to remove harmful dirt and
moisture from the air supply. To order an air line filter,
order by the part numbers listed below:
106148
3/8” npt, 20-micron element, 5 oz. bowl,
without gauge
106146
1/2” npt, 40-micron element, 40 oz. bowl, 0
to 200 psi (0 to 14 bar) regulated pressure
range
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
To order a 3/8” npt air line lubricator,
order part number 214847.
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.
