GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

• Read the instructions in this manual before installing the mixer and before starting it up.

• The installation and use of the mixer must always be in accordance with the rules applying to
health and safety.

• Before starting up the mixer, check that it be correctly anchored and that the shaft be perfectly
aligned. Poor alignment and/or excessive force in fitting may cause serious mechanical
problems for the mixer.

• Specialised personnel should carry out all electrical work.

• To control the engine characteristics and its control panel, especially in areas where there is a
risk of fire or explosion, the user company’s technical manager shall establish danger areas
(area 1 – 2 – 3).

• Do not spray the motor directly during cleaning.

• Do not disassemble the mixer without previously disconnecting the power supply. Remove
the fuses and disconnect the motor feed cable.

• Do not operate the mixer if turning components do not have the protection system or if they
are badly fitted.

• The mixer has rotating parts. Do not put hands or fingers into an mixer whilst it is operating.
This may cause serious injury.

• Do not touch any of the parts of the mixer that are in contact with liquid whilst in operation. If
the mixer works with hot products at temperatures exceeding 50 ºC, there is a risk of burns. In
these cases, collective protective measures should be put in order of priority (distance,
protective screen, heat resistance), or -failing this possibility- to provide individual protection
(gloves).

• In the event of dangerous fluid (e.g. explosives, toxic agents, hot liquids) leakages (e.g.
mechanical seal), the appropriate measures must be taken in order to avoid any personal or
environmental risk that might arise.

• Take all possible precautions in lifting the mixer. Always ensure that it securely attached
when being transported by crane or any other lifting mechanism.

• Withdraw all the tools used in mounting before starting up the mixer.

• The mixer is unable to work without liquid. Standard mixers are not designed to operate
during the filling or emptying of tanks.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE.
The emulsifier mixers have been designed in a versatile construction, which offers the user a new and more efficient process
technique.
The material is absorbed from the bottom of the container. The rotor accelerates the product, which is expulsed through the
openings in the stator, subjecting the mixture to intense mechanical and hydraulic power.
The standard head is slotted. There two other head designs available, should the process need same. Moreover, circulating or
downthrust propellers can be fitted to the shaft in order to increase the mixture, or to create a vortex.
At the bottom, the shaft is guided by a bushing, fitted just above the head. Standard ones are supplied in PTFE, however, they
may be made of other materials in accordance with the process for which they are needed.
The ME-1100 series is used in open and closed tanks, operating at atmospheric pressure. It is driven by a direct motor. The
sealing system consists of a V-Ring. There are three attaching clamps supplied in order to secure the mixer to the tank.
The ME-5100 series is used in closed tanks that operate under pressure or in a vacuum. They are fitted with a head which has a
coupling flange and a bearing. The sealing is accomplished by means of a double sealing cartridge. It is driven by a direct
motor. This series comes with only one tank attaching clamp in accordance with DIN 2632 PN10.
Other clamps can be made upon request.

APPLICATION.
Rotor / stator mixers are ideal for applications that need speedy reductions of particles and drops.
The most common applications are homogenisation, solubilization and emulsification.

 4. Installation and assembly.
INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY.

If the mixer is supplied without a drive or other element, the purchaser shall be responsible for
its assembly, installation, start-up and operation.

SITE.
Place the mixer in such a manner that it can facilitate inspections and checks. Leave enough room around the mixer to enable
appropriate checking, separation and maintenance. It is very important that easy access is to be had to the mixer’s electrical
connection device, even when it is in operation.
When the fitting of the mixer is centred on the tank, a circuit breaker will be required.
Ask our technical department for each specific application. Should you require them, the approximate dimensions of the circuit
breakers, in accordance with the diameter of the tank, are given in figure 4.1. and table 4.1.

Table 4.1

ASSEMBLY.
In order to assure a good mixing process, the mixer should be positioned at a point corresponding to 1/3 of the diameter of the
tank. Moreover, the distance from the mixer head to the bottom of the tank must be between 2 and 3 three times the diameter
of the head. After the base of the mixer has been fitted onto the support bracket, the securing screws and nuts will be fitted to
their corresponding holes, without being tightened. After this operation has been carried out, the mixer must be levelled,
which is accomplished as follows:
• Put a spirit level up against the mixer shaft.
• Check four points at 90º to each other, at which are at the same height.
After the levelling has been done, screw the securing nuts and screws tightly.
It is a good idea to consult the mechanical sealing specifications before fitting the mixer.

Never apply too much force at the tip of the shaft or to the mixer’s rods, given that they might easily
become permanently deformed.

ED. 2012/02 4. ME-1100 and ME-5100 Installation and assembly 4.1

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.
Before connecting the electric motor to the mains, check the local regulations and the corresponding standards regarding
electrical safety. Take special account of those parts referring to command and control of the mixer. Check the
manufacturer’s instruction manual of the motor for connecting it to the mains.

Let the electrical connection of the motors to qualified personnel. Take the necessary
measures in order to prevent any type of breakdown.

The motor should be protected with devices against overload and short-circuits.

It is not possible to use the mixer in areas of risk of fire or explosion if this has not been
included in the order. Risk areas (zones 1 -2 - 3).

4. ME-1100 and ME-5100 Installation and assembly 4.2 ED. 2012/02

 5. Start-up, operation and shutdown.
The mixer can be commissioned after the detailed instructions in the chapter on installation and fitting have been carried out.

START-UP.
y Check that the power supply falls into line with the indications given on the motor plate.
y Check the liquid level in the tank. If not specified on the order, the mixers cannot be put into operation during the filling and
emptying of the tank.
y Make sure that the mechanical sealing is ready to enter correctly into operation. To this end, the fitting specifications for the
manual sealing must be followed.

The mixer must NEVER be put into operation without a product. The mixing element has to be
submerged to, at the very least, twice its diameter and must have a clearance, with respect to the
bottom, of 2 to 3 times the diameter of the head.

y All of the protective devices must be in position.

y The performance of the emulsifier mixer depends on the viscosity of the working fluid. The following loading process must
be followed in order to use the mixer properly:
1. Pour all of the low viscosity components into the container.
2. Put the mixer into operation.
3. Make sure that the impeller is turning in the right direction (clockwise as viewed from the drive side).
See Figure 5.1.
4. Add the remaining liquids or soluble components.
5. Add the solids that need to be cut, or that need a pre-setting time to bring about the reaction.
6. Add the remaining the components, including the solids required to stabilise the formulation, or those that are
needed to increase the viscosity of the mix in question.

Respect the turning direction of the mixing element, as indicated by the arrow stuck to the motor.
Operation in the wrong direction will provoke of loss of effectiveness as far as the mixture is
concerned.

y Check the motor’s electrical consumption.

ED. 2012/02 5. ME-1100 and ME-5100 Start-up, operation and shutdown 5.1
OPERATION.

Do not modify the operating parameters for which the mixer was initially selected without
prior written consent of INOXPA. (Risk of deterioration and danger for the user).

Follow the operating instructions and safety indications described in the instructions manual of the
tank on which the mixer is mounted.

Mechanical risks (drag, shearing, cutting, knocking, crushing, pinching, .., etc.) . If the mixing element
is accessible from the upper part of the tank, or from the its manhole, the user is exposed to the
aforementioned risks.

The tank should be equipped with protection devices and safety equipment. Check the manufacturer’s instructions manual.

Introducing an object or raw material may give rise to a breakage in the mixing element or the
breakage of other mechanical parts, and may jeopardise its safety or its guarantee.

Control motor consumption in order to avoid circuit overloading.

tear, it must be changed.

The motor will be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Check the operating instructions of same.

LUBRICATION.
The 5100 series vertical mixers are fitted with permanently greased bearings, which means that these do not require any
maintenance work. The bearings can be re-greased by stripping the bracket, cleaning the bearings themselves, or replacing
them, as well as their lantern, finally putting in new grease to the order of 50-70 %.
If re-greasing, only use special bearing grease, with the following properties:
y Lithium based or composed of good quality lithium.
y A viscosity of 100 - 140 cSt at 40 ºC.
y NLGI consistence, grade 2 or 3.
y Continuous operating temperature - 30 ºC to + 120 ºC.

The greasing of the motor’s bearings will be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

SPARE PARTS.
To order spare parts it is necessary to indicate the type and serial number included on the mixer’s characteristics plate, as well
as the position and description of the part as found in chapter 9 of technical specifications.

CONSERVATION.
If the mixer is out of service for a long period of time, clean and treat the parts with VG 46 mineral oil. The mixer must be
stored in a horizontal position and on wooden supports, or similar. These supports will be positioned at the head.

corresponding screws (50).
• Fit the base plate (11) to the upper flange (42), securing it by means of the
corresponding screws (52C).
• Should the mixer come with downthrust (02) and recirculation (02A)
propellers, fit them onto the shaft in their corresponding position and secure
them by means of the setscrews (55B).
• Place the lower flange (42A) and the stator (22) onto the coupling flange
(23). These elements are secured by means of screws (52A).
• Slide the bearing (17) onto the shaft (05) until it reaches up to the lower flange
(42A).
• Position the rotor (21) at the end of the shaft (05), with a spanner placed at the shaft
interface, in order to avoid it turning, then screw the rotor on until the end.
• Make sure that the rotor blades are centred with respect to the stator
windows. Should it prove necessary, adjust the shaft position.
• Fit the apparatus in its designated position.
