Fault

Possible cause

Action

The mixer does not start

Fault in power supply

Check power supply

The impeller does not rotate

Male bearing or magnetic drive not
mounted

Dismount the drive unit, detach the
impeller and mount the male bear-
ing, impeller and magnetic drive

Insufficient power

Motor connected incorrectly

Check wiring diagram and wiring

Poor mixing

a) The impeller does not rotate at
the maximum speed
b) Impeller rotating in the wrong di-
rection

a) Increase speed, pay attention to
the guidelines in section 3.6.2.
b) Check the drive installation

AC: phase reverse power cables

DC: pole reverse power cables

AIR: swap the air supply and outlet

hoses.

Verify the impeller rotates clockwise
when seen from above

The mixer does not reach the re-
quired maximum rpm

Incorrectly set parameters in the

VFD (Variable Frequency Drive)

Adjust and calibrate the VFD

Slow and inefficient compressed air
driven motor

Clogged motor housing

Flush with paraffin as per motor
supplier’s maintenance instructions

Noise from the mixer

a) Impeller has rotated without fluid
between the male and female bear-
ing
b) Worn out bearings
c) Missing male bearing
d) Mechanical interference (con-
tact) between impeller and weld
plate
e) Mechanical interference (con-
tact) between magnet rotor and

weld plate

a) Stop the mixer. Do not restart un-
til the fluid level covers the impeller
b) Replace the bearing and the im-
peller
c) see b)
d) Reinstall the weld plate correctly
e) Realign the magnet rotor

Noise from the drive unit (first dis-
card that this is not ’normal noise’
amplified by the vessel acting as a
soundboard)

a) New drive unit has not been al-
lowed to run in b) Gearbox prob-
lems. Running insufficiently lubri-
cated

a) Run the drive unit for a couple
of hours to see if the noise disap-
pears b) Refer to gearbox supplier
maintenance manual

Magnetic coupling disconnected

a) Acceleration too rapid
b) Speed to high for the application

a) Adjust acceleration
b) lower speed.

Insufficient cleaning of the impeller

Poor fluid flow through the impeller
a) Due to low fluid level
b) Due to low speed
c) Due to high speed
d) Magnetic particles

a) Increase fluid level
b) Increase spead
c) Reduce speed and the formation
of vortices
d) Magnetic particles are not re-
moved during normal cleaning. The
impeller must be removed and
cleaned separately
