INITIAL INSPECTION

Step 1: Inspect crates. Upon receipt, inspect all crates and equipment for shipping damage.
Report shipping damage to your local Chemineer office or to the factory in Dayton, Ohio. A
claim should be filed immediately with the carrier involved.

Step 2: Uncrate. Check the contents. Do not uncrate the unit until you have read the
Mounting & Installation section of this manual and looked at the assembly drawing shipped
with the unit. Be careful in uncrating and handling. Do not discard the crating without making
sure that all agitator parts have been removed. Correct assembly of this unit requires referring to
both the unit assembly drawing and this manual.

Step 3: Questions? Call Chemineer. If the shipment is not complete or you do not understand
what you have received, please contact your local Chemineer office immediately.

 INSPECTION & STORAGE Model QED-D, QED-A, QED-L

STORAGE

Do not remove protective packaging, desiccant, or any protective coatings applied to the wetted
parts until the agitator is to be put into service. If the equipment is to be stored, do not stack
crates. Store in a clean dry indoor location which is free from wide variations in temperature.
The storage area should be free from vibration and excessive heat.

Inspect for external rust at six-month intervals. Apply rust preventative as required. If the unit
has been in storage for more than six months or subjected to adverse moisture conditions, the
motor windings may have to be dried prior to operation.

Short-Term Indoor Storage

Agitators should be stored indoors in areas with no vibration and relatively constant temperatures
and humidity. The factory storage preparations should be acceptable for up to six months
storage. If the storage period will exceed six months, see Long-Term Indoor Storage section.

Outdoor or Long-Term Indoor Storage

Storage of agitators and motors outdoors is not recommended. If a unit is stored for an
extended period indoors, stored outdoors or decommissioned, the following recommendations
apply:

1. Install standpipe (not supplied) into breather [215] port and place breather into top of
standpipe. Fill gear drive completely with oil. This allows oil to expand with
temperature change without damaging the gear drive seals.

2. Rotate the motor and gear drive shafts 10 to 15 revolutions at least once per month to
reduce the possibility of brinelling of the bearings and to redistribute bearing grease.

3. Apply a rust preventative to unpainted carbon steel surfaces and the agitator wetted parts
to prevent corrosion during storage.

4. The unit should be covered to prevent damage by the elements but still allow free air
circulation.

CAUTION! Before placing an agitator in service the storage oil must be completely drained
from the gear drive. Turn the gear drive upside down to completely drain. Failure to do this
will result in oil being trapped in the "drywell" around the output shaft and could result in
leakage at the output shaft seal. The gear drive should be filled with new oil and regreased as
indicated in the Lubrication section of this manual.

Model QED-D, QED-A, QED-L MOUNTING & INSTALLATION

MOUNTING – ALL MODELS

Correct assembly requires both the unit assembly drawing and this manual.

1. In addition to this manual, the contents of the gear reducer box should include: the
reducer, a bag of motor mounting hardware with a reducer input shaft key, a high speed
coupling, reducer oil, and a unit assembly drawing. NOTE: THE GEAR REDUCER IS
SHIPPED WITHOUT INTERNAL OIL.

2. A sling attached to a hoist may be used to assist in lifting the reducer unit. Do not strap
any lifting device through the hollow low speed shaft [205] of the reducer. It is
recommended that the reducer and motor be lifted onto a workbench type table for easier
access and handling.

3. The motor key [101] will be in the envelope with the motor wiring diagram or taped onto
the motor shaft. If taped to the shaft, remove tape and clean any residue from both the
key and the shaft. Place the key into the motor output shaft to prepare for installation of
flexible coupling. Unwrap the coupling [150] from its bag. Note that the bore of each
hub is marked on the coupling hub. Place the reducer key [234] into the input shaft of the
reducer and install reducer half of the coupling per set dimension in Table 1, next page.
To gain access to the setscrew in the coupling hub, remove plug [231] on the reducer bell
housing [227]. Lightly tighten setscrew with an Allenwrench. Mount the motor output
shaft coupling half per the set dimension shown in Table 1 and tighten setscrew securely
into hub. Install the coupling flexible center member into the hub. It may be helpful to
place the Allenwrench in the setscrew in the reducer hub and leave the wrench extending
out of the bell housing. This will help mark the orientation of the reducer hub half so that
it can be more easily interlocked with the motor hub coupling half during motor
mounting.

4. Motor must be mounted to reducer bell housing [227] in a manner to engage the coupling
hubs and to allow the conduit box to be in an accessible position. Fasten motor to
reducer bell housing flange using the bolts [235] and lockwashers [239].

5. Lubricate and torque bolts to the value shown in Table 8, page 17. Tighten reducer hub
setscrew and remove Allenwrench. Replace plug [231] in bell housing.

MOUNTING – MODEL QED-D

Refer to agitator assembly drawing for required support structure design loads.

In designing the structure to accommodate bending moment, the structure should be sufficiently
rigid so that the agitator extension shaft will not move more than 1/64 inch (.4 mm) per foot of
length due to deflection of mounting system. Reference Figure 2, page 6.

The agitator support in open tanks is typically constructed of two steel beams with lateral
bracing. See Table 2 below for beam size.

3QED-D C4x5.4 C5x6.7 C6x8.2 C7x9.8 C9x15 C12x20.7

Diagonal bracing (45 degree) should be used between the span beams. The ends of the span
beams should be boxed in. Both lateral bracing and diagonal bracing to be identical to span
beams.

MOUNTING – MODELS QED-A & QED-L

Refer to agitator assembly drawing for required support structure design loads.

In designing the structure to accommodate bending moment, the structure should be sufficiently
rigid so the agitator extension shaft will not move more than 1/64 inch (.4 mm) per foot of length
due to deflection of mounting system. Reference Figure 3, page 9 and Figure 4, page 10.

QED-A and QED-L style units are supplied with an integral pedestal/flange that is designed to
mount on an ANSI or DIN flange, nozzle, or pad located on the vessel top head. Optional
special flanges are available to adapt the standard agitator mounting to other specific vessel
nozzle sizes. Refer to the agitator assembly drawing for agitator mounting flange size and weight
for your unit.

Vessel top heads and nozzles are often not sufficiently rigid to properly support an agitator.
Table 4 (nozzle mounting) or Table 6 (pad mounting) provide guidelines for determining when
vessel head reinforcement is required. If the vessel head is not sufficiently rigid, head thickness
can be increased or gussets and reinforcing pads can be added to provide the equivalent rigidity
of a thicker head. Reference reinforcement dimensions on Tables 5 & 7.

be restraightened in the field. Rotate the shaft to the maximum positive indicator reading.
Apply heat to the shaft at a point 180o from the indicator and just below the first in-tank
shaft coupling or just below the mounting surface if there is no in-tank coupling. As heat
is applied to the shaft (do not allow surface temperature of shaft to exceed 500oF
[260oC]), the shaft will move toward the indicator. After the shaft has moved .030-.060"
(.76-1.52mm), remove the heat and the shaft will begin to move away from the indicator.
The shaft will draw more than it moved initially, and as a result will be straightened.
After each heating cycle, recheck the shaft until runout is within tolerance. Do not heat
in the same location. Move up or down 2-3" (50-70 mm) to avoid reheating the same
location.

16. Reinstall low speed shaft guard [203] with bolts [228] and lockwashers [229].

17. Install breather [215] into port at top of reducer. Reference Figure 22, page 41 for port
location.

5. With a feeler gauge check the clearance between the wear sleeve and the bushing at the
top and bottom in 90o increments. For proper angular alignment, the gap at all locations
should be within .010" (.25 mm) of each other.

6. If the angular alignment needs correction, repeat Steps 1 through 5.

7. Once the final steady bearing housing location has been determined, drill the steady
bearing housing and its support bracket at two locations and install roll or dowel
alignment pins (supplied by others). Torque the bracket bolts to the value shown in Table
8, page 17.

8. Remove the wear sleeve setscrews one at a time and transfer punch a center into the
agitator shaft. Take the wear sleeve off the shaft. Spot the shaft for the setscrews using a
drill of the same diameter as the setscrews. Drill to the depth of the drill point.

9. Reinstall the wear sleeve with the setscrews over the drill spots located in Step 8. Torque
the setscrews and the bushing retaining bolt to the value shown in Table 8. The tapped
holes for the setscrews are a self-locking thread form. Auxiliary fastener locking is not
necessary.

1. Install the coupling [620] onto the end of the extension shaft [400] with key [623] and
bolts, lockwashers, and coupling washer [625, 626, 624]. Refer to Mounting &
Installation, page 24 for in-tank coupling installation.

2. Assemble the stub shaft [630], stub shaft housing [634], and retainer plate [631] with bolts
[632] and lockwashers [633]. Torque bolts to the value shown in Table 8, page 17.
NOTE: Be sure to assemble the stub shaft [630] to the retainer plate [631] before inserting
into the stub shaft housing [634]. Alignment of the stub shaft [630] to the retainer plate
[631] is crucial to future maintenance.

3. Attach legs [635] with bolts, nuts, lockwashers, and two flat washers [636, 637, 638, 639].
Do not torque bolts at this time. Locate the steady bearing assembly so that it is centered
with the extension shaft.

4. Adjust the leg angle and steady bearing assembly height. Torque leg bolts [636] to the
value shown in Table 8, page 17. Refer to the steady bearing assembly drawing for the
proper steady bearing set dimensions. NOTE: Later in the procedure, the stub shaft
housing will need to be adjusted for shaft concentricity and parallelism. Be sure to leave
room in the leg and housing slots for future adjustment.

5. Attach the legs [635] to the vessel bottom. CAUTION: The stub shaft [630] will need to
be removed periodically for future maintenance. Be certain there are no obstructions
below the steady bearing assembly that would hinder the stub shaft removal.

6. Attach an indicator to the coupling [620] and set the point of the indicator on the top of
the stub shaft housing [634]. Manually turn the exposed low speed shaft [205] at the top
of the reducer one full turn. Loosen the leg bolts [636] and nuts [637] and adjust the stub
shaft housing [634] to obtain 0.010” (0.25 mm) FIM (Full Indicated Movement)
maximum.

7. Place the indicator point on the outside diameter of the stub shaft [630] and rotate the
extension shaft one turn. Loosen the leg bolts [636] and nuts [637] and move the stub
shaft housing [634] until the stub shaft is located concentric to the shaft centerline within
0.050” (1.27 mm) FIM.

8. Torque the leg bolts [636] and nuts [637] to the value shown in Table 8, page 17.

9. Recheck the steady bearing alignment with the dial indicator. If the alignment needs
correction, repeat steps 6 through 8.

10. Once the final steady bearing housing location has been determined, drill the stub shaft
housing and install the dowel alignment pins [640].

11. Loosen and remove bolts and lockwashers [632, 633] anchoring the retainer plate [631] to
the stub shaft housing [634]. Re-install bolts into tapped holes at 90 degrees in the
retainer plate. Progressively tighten these bolts around the bolt circle to remove the stub
shaft [630] from stub shaft housing. CAUTION: Tapers can disengage with a great deal
of force. On larger units, the stub shaft/retainer assembly can be very heavy. It may be
advantageous to only remove half of the retainer plate to housing bolts and use those
removed to break the stub shaft taper as described above. This will allow for the stub
shaft to still be held when it disengages.

12. Assemble the bushing housing [627], with the bushing [606] installed, to the coupling
[620] using bolts and lockwashers [621, 622]. Torque the bolts to the value shown in
Table 8, page 17. NOTE: For bushing [606] installation procedures, refer to the
Maintenance section, page 49

13. Install the stub shaft [630] through the stub shaft housing [634] and into the bushing [606].
Attach the retainer plate [631] with bolts [632] and lockwashers [633]. Torque bolts to the
value shown in Table 8, page 17. The retainer plate has been drilled and tapped for a
NPT pipe fitting, be sure to orient the plate so that the larger end of the tapped fitting hole
is facing downward.

14. The tripod steady bearing has an optional flush feature for lubrication and cooling. If the
flush is utilized, attach the flush piping to the flush hole in the retainer plate [631]. Keep
the flush plug [641] in place on the bushing housing [627]. Note: The flush inlet pressure
should be 15 to 20 psi over the vessel pressure.

AGITATOR

Your Chemineer QED mixer has been designed for your specific application. Proper operating
procedures will allow maximum performance. The following list will aid in the safe operation of
your unit.

• Do not operate the unit without reading and following the instructions of all tags and
nameplates attached to the unit.

• Do not operate the unit in a fluid with a specific gravity or viscosity higher than that
for which the unit was designed.

• Do not operate shaft seals at temperatures or pressures higher than those for which the
unit was designed. Refer to unit assembly drawing.

• Do not attempt to start a unit with the mixing impeller buried in solids or a "set up"
fluid.

• Do not locate down comers, coils, baffles, or other vessel internals at less than 4
inches (100 mm) radial clearance from the agitator extension shaft and impellers.

• Do not make any changes in the field (i.e. motor horsepower, agitator speed, shaft
length, impeller diameter, impeller width, etc.) without reviewing the change with
your local Chemineer office or Chemineer's Parts and Field Service Department.

MOTOR

Electric motors furnished on Chemineer QED mixers are guaranteed to deliver their rated
output when properly installed and maintained.

Ample air circulation is very important to secure full performance and long life from an electric
motor. Do not block off the suction inlets on fan cooled motors. The life of the motor will be
decreased if its temperature exceeds its rating. The allowable temperature is stamped on the
motor nameplate.

Prior to permanently wiring the electric motor:

• Check nameplate data on motor to assure that the available power supply agrees with
the motor requirements. Protective devices should be the proper size and rating to
safely carry the load and to interrupt the circuit on overloads.

• Check motor leads with connection diagrams on motor nameplate and/or conduit box
so that the proper connections are made. All motors should be installed in accordance
with the National Electric Code and local requirements.

• Check the gear drive output shaft rotation against the proper rotation indicated on the
unit nameplate. For standard three-phase electric motors, the rotation is reversed by
switching any two power leads.

• Check operating motor amperage against motor nameplate amperage.

The motor should start quickly and run smoothly. If the motor should fail to start or make
abnormal noise, immediately shut motor off, disconnect it from the power supply, and
investigate the cause. If the problem cannot be corrected, contact your local Chemineer Office
for assistance.

GEAR DRIVE

The gear drive is shipped from the factory drained of oil. Be sure the gear drive has been filled
with the proper amount and type of oil before operation. See Gear Drive Lubrication in the
Lubrication section of this manual for specific recommendations.

Be sure the gear drive breather vent [215] is installed and not obstructed.

The normal gear drive operating temperature can reach 200oF (93oC). The surface temperature
should not exceed 200oF (93.3oC). Should a temperature greater than 200oF exist, review the
installation for unusually high ambient conditions, poor air circulation, or other unusual
conditions.

SHAFT SEALS

QED-D, Auxiliary stuffing box shaft seals require extreme care during initial installation and
operation if proper packing life is to be realized. Six (6) ring stuffing boxes are equipped with a
lantern ring. Lubricate packing if required before operation. Refer to the Lubrication section of
this manual. In order to obtain proper sealing from a stuffing box the packing must be allowed
to "run in". Prior to operation, the gland nuts [1353] should be tightened finger tight. As the unit
is started up, the packing should be allowed to "run in" by tightening the gland nuts gradually (no
more than one flat on the nuts every 15 minutes) until the desired level of sealing is obtained.
Once the packing has been "run in", the gland nuts should be retightened on a regular basis. This
can vary from weekly to monthly depending upon the desired level of sealing.

QED-A, Stuffing box shaft seals require extreme care during initial installation and operation if
proper packing life is to be realized. The QED-A stuffing box is a six (6) ring design with self-
lubricating packing suitable for 100 psig (689 kPa) at 300oF (149oC). At start-up, the packing
should be “run-in” by tightening the hex adjusting nut [1301] one flat at a time, allowing 15
minutes between each take-up for the packing to reseat itself. These steps should be repeated
until the desired leakage is obtained. Make periodic inspections for leakage, but do not take-up
on the gland unless necessary. Overtightening wears out packings prematurely and causes
scoring and damage to the shaft.

STEADY BEARINGS

If a steady bearing is supplied, do not operate the agitator unless it is properly installed. Failure
to install a required steady bearing will cause severe damage to the agitator assembly if operated.

The tripod steady bearing has been supplied with an optional flush feature for lubrication and
cooling. If the flush is utilized, the pipe plug [641] must remain installed on the bushing housing
[627] and the inlet pressure should be maintained at 15 to 20 psi over the vessel pressure. If the
flush is not utilized, the pipe plug [641] must be removed. Do not operate the agitator unless the
steady bearing flush is on or the steady bearing assembly is completely submerged.

 LUBRICATION Model QED-D, QED-A, QED-L

LUBRICATION

This section defines the proper oils and greases that must be used with this equipment.

ELECTRIC MOTORS

Some motor manufacturers do not use lubrication fittings. These motors have bearings which are
prelubricated and sealed for life.

If the motor is equipped with a grease fitting, the bearings have been pre-greased by the motor
manufacturer. Motor bearings should be regreased at 12-month intervals when installed in clean,
dry environments, or every six months for heavy duty and dusty locations. Any good quality
general purpose grease consisting of a refined base oil stock and a lithium or calcium-complex
based soap, with an NLGI No. 2 classification, will work satisfactorily. Most major oil
companies offer such products, usually with extreme pressure (EP) additives for additional
protection. Do not mix petroleum and silicone greases in motor bearings. Table 10, page 39
lists some commonly available greases.

Always lubricate motor bearings with motor at a standstill.

When regreasing, stop the motor, remove the outlet plug and add grease with a hand lever gun
only. Run the motor for about ten minutes before replacing the outlet plug. Certain TEFC
motors have a spring relief outlet fitting on the fan end. If the outlet plug is not accessible at the
surface of the hood, it is the spring relief type and need not be removed when regreasing.

CAUTION! Overgreasing is a major cause of bearing and motor failure.

The following table may be used as a guide in determining frequency of lubrication. The periods
listed assume a clean, dry environment with an ambient temperature not exceeding 104oF (40oC).
If conditions are less desirable than this, adjust the frequency accordingly. (Table 9 is for motor
speeds 1800 RPM or slower).

GEAR DRIVE

Other than periodic lubrication, no routine operational maintenance to the gear drive is needed. It
is recommended, however, that you inspect the gear drive regularly for lubricant leaks, abnormal
noise, vibration, etc. A breather [215] is installed on top of the gear drive to allow pressures
inside and outside the gear case to equalize. Do not obstruct its function.

The gear drive is shipped from the factory drained of oil. Oil has been included for the initial oil
fill. Fill the gear drive to the proper level before operation. Refer to Figure 22, next page for
general oil level, oil fill plug, oil drain plug, and grease fitting locations.

For double-reduction units:

• Remove both the filler plugs and the oil level plugs from each stage reducer housing.
There is one fill plug and oil level plug on the primary stage reducer and one fill plug and
oil level plug on the secondary stage reducer.

• The reducer lubricating oil has a path between the primary and secondary housing cavity.
However, lubricant must travel between the housings through an intermittent shaft taper
roller bearing, which at room temperature takes significant time. Therefore, to minimize
reducer oil fill time, each stage reducer should be filled separately to the bottom of the
respective oil level plug. These oil level plugs will be on the same horizontal line when
the unit is in its normal operating position.

Do not overfill. Overfilling can cause overheating and may void the proper operation of the
output drywell and cause lubricant leakage from the output seals.

The normal gear drive operating temperature can range to 200o F (93.3oC). Operating
temperature in excess of 200oF (93.3oC) may cause damage to the seals or other components.

For ambient temperature from -30oF (-34oC) to 165oF (74oC) use Mobil SHC 629 or equal. Do
not use a phosphorous based oil.

The oil should be changed after the first 1500 hours of operation. Drain oil by removing the
drain plug and refill with proper type and amount of oil. Subsequent oil changes under normal
operating conditions should be made every 5000 hours of operation or once a year whichever
occurs first. Under adverse conditions such as rapid temperature changes, moist, dirty conditions
or corrosive environment, more frequent oil changes are advisable.

Some units are equipped with upper and lower grease fittings [222] to lubricate bearings not
adequately lubricated by the oil splash. These fittings must be lubricated every 3-6 months
depending on operating conditions. Bearing greases must be compatible with the type of gear
lubricant being used. For synthetic gear oils, use a synthetic bearing grease such as Mobil
Synthetic Universal grease, Mobilith SHC 100 or a suitable equivalent. For food grade gear
lubricants, use a Chevron FM grease, NLGI 2 or suitable equivalent.

AUXILIARY SHAFT SEALS

Refer to agitator assembly drawings for seal style and packing type. The 6-ring auxiliary
stuffing box (Figure 19, page 29) is supplied with six rings of packing and a lantern ring.
Packing shown as 1065 does not require external lubrication.

If other packing has been supplied, grease lubrication may be required. The lubricant selected
should be compatible with the process fluid. To lubricate the stuffing box, remove pipe plug
[1360] and pump grease into fitting [1359] until grease comes out of pipe plug hole. Replace pipe
plug. Relubricate as required, approximately every 24 hours.

STEADY BEARINGS

Steady bearings are lubricated and cooled by the process fluid. Do not operate agitator unless
the steady bearing is submerged.

MOTOR MAINTENANCE

The motor should be inspected at regular intervals. The interval depends upon the environment
and nature of service. The following checklist requires only a few minutes. It may result in
considerable savings if followed regularly:

Cleanliness.

o Coatings of dirt, dust or grease slow the flow of heat from the motor to the
atmosphere, and therefore, may cause overheating. Wipe the motor clean and
apply an inhibitor to rusted parts.

Temperature.

o Allowable temperature is stamped on the motor nameplate. Overheating means

overloading, inadequate ventilation, shorts or burned insulation.

Moisture.

o Be sure motor is dry, inside and out.

Noise.

o Unusual noises from a motor mean trouble. Noise may be the first indication of a
faulty bearing, loose connection, etc.

4. Clean the packing housing part of pedestal [1101] and the agitator extension shaft [400].
Inspect the shaft surface for damage. Repair or replace shaft as required.

NOTE: Never add new packing on top of the old packing, as this will cause accelerated
wear and scoring of the shaft.

Refer to the unit assembly drawing for the number and composition of the packing rings
supplied originally with your agitator.

5. Install new packing rings [1307]. Stagger each packing split 90 degrees. Seat each
packing ring as it is installed. Install split packing gland [1306] and hardware [1301, 1302,
1303, 1304, & 1305]. The split packing gland must be square with the packing housing
section of the pedestal. Tighten the hex adjusting nuts.

6. Let packing sit for five or ten minutes so that it can cold flow and adjust to the gland
pressure. Loosen the hex adjusting nuts, then finger tighten. After starting the unit,
adjust the packing by tightening the hex adjusting nuts one flat at a time, allowing 15
minutes between each take-up for the packing to reseat itself. Repeat these adjustments at
15 minute intervals until the desired leakage is obtained. Do not over tighten.

7. Re-install handhole covers [1102] using one flatwasher [1104] and hex nut [1103] per
