INSTALLATION

A. LOCATION.

This CDA mixer is normally supplied as a "floor mounted" design which must be bolted to any substantially level floor
in a location where the required services are available. The "rating" of the area is also of concern and should be
considered prior to installation. Since these machines are typically mounted on hydraulic lifts, the ceiling height and
overhead fixtures must be at an adequate distance off the floor. The floor must be of suitable strength to hold the
combined weights of the mixer, batch, auxiliary equipment, personnel, etc.

B. LIFTING/RIGGING OF MIXER.

1. This CDA dual shaft mixer has been shipped assembled.
2. All components should be handled carefully and protected to eliminate the possibility of damage, twisting or
deforming of the parts and their painted, machined or hard chromed surfaces. Some items may need cardboard or
other material used to protect them from lifting devices such as forks, hooks or straps.
3. The mixing shaft assemblies are especially vulnerable to damage or bending during handling. Contact with the
shafts and blades should be avoided.
4. Lifting of the mixer off of its shipping pallet can be done by wrapping a lifting strap around the upper flange and/or
under the anti-rotation tube support, of the hydraulic cylinder. To avoid damaging the hydraulic cylinder packing and
causing it to leak, do not extend the cylinder by pulling the cylinder rod out of the cylinder housing.
5. Lifting Straps should be used where possible.
6. Before lifting of the mixer can occur, the Mix Can must be removed. Do not lift the Mixer and the Mix Can
together. Connect temporary compressed air pressure to the inlet on the top of the air/oil hydraulic tank/reservoir.
Allow the tank to fill with air and actuate the hydraulic lift to raise the mixer and lift the agitator shafts/blades out of
the Mix Can. When fully raised, the Mix Can will be able to be removed from under the mixer. (See Operating
Instructions)

C. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION, LEVELING AND SHIMMING.

1. The CDA dual shaft mixer is typically supplied fully assembled. The mixer should be placed on a
substantially level, flat and smooth surface. Shim the mixer to level the hydraulic lift cylinder in two
directions at 90-degrees to each other, front (0-degrees) and side (90-degrees) of the hydraulic lift cylinder.
This should provide a relatively vertically leveled installation. Secure the base of the mixer to the floor using
a properly rated bolting system. Shim at all bolting points and at locations between bolts as required. Please
note, the Vacuum Cover may not be level or parallel to the floor or perpendicular to the hydraulic cylinder.
The mixer is designed to allow the front edge (0-degrees) of the Vacuum Cover to be slightly lower than the
rear edge. This is to allow the Vacuum Cover to contact the front (0-degrees) of the Mix Can first and settle
across the top surface of the Mix Can and crush the o-ring to create a seal.

2. The Mix Can will need to be shimmed between the top of the Casters and the bottom of the Caster Pads
(supports on the bottom of the Mix Can) to bring the Mix Can to match the “level” of the Vacuum Hood.
Shims are installed in this location when shipped and extra shims are shipped loose. Each floor and each Mix
Can is different and each will require different shims to bring the Mix Can to the correct and same height and
same orientation to the mixer to create the correct alignment and seal with the Vacuum Cover. Again, here as
with the Mixer installation, the top rim of the Mix Can will not be parallel to the Vacuum Cover when the
Vacuum Cover is raised. The top rim of the Mix Can should be “level” and therefore close to perpendicular
to the Hydraulic Cylinder. When the Mix Can is properly shimmed, the locating and locking pins should fit
easily into the receiving holes.

3. When the Mixer and Mix Can are properly shimmed, leveled and aligned, the Vacuum Cover will contact
the front edge of the upper rim of the Mix Can first, at 0-degrees (front). With the 0-degree location of the
Vacuum Cover and Mix Can just barely touching, the 180-degree location will be approximately 1/8”-3/16”
apart. Allowing the mixer to lower fully should produce a well mated Vacuum Cover to Mix Can crushing
the o-ring and creating the required seal. Also, the OD of the Vacuum Cover and the OD of the Mix Can
should be relatively concentric and the Anchor Blade OD should be relatively equally spaced from the side
walls of the Mix Can when positioned at 0, 90, 180 and 270-degrees and it should be centered in the Mix
Can.
