 INSTALLATION AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
for RVT Standard Agitators of Type ”GM”/ ”DS”/ ”NS”/ ”NR”/ ”FGM”/ ”VD”/ ”DSBF”
VI. Required documents:
All operating and installation instructions, which are
shown in the index of the documentation and the agita-
tor assembly drawing.
All the information required can be found in these
documents.
They must be at hand when installing the agitator. The
instructions and remarks contained therein must be
observed.
VII. Special tools:
none are required to install the agitator.
VIII. Unpacking and storage of the agitator:
Supplied form: For transport related reasons, the agita-
tor is supplied in an assembled or partially assembled
state.
Remove the crate and partitions and lift out the agitator
using a lifting device. In doing so, the bearing agitator
shaft or the stirring shaft must never be used as a lev-
ering arm.
Any surface protection on the installation flange or on
the flange coupling should be removed later during in-
stallation.
The agitator should only be stored in closed rooms at
a relative air humidity under 65%
temperature 15-30°C
dust-free environment
IX. Installation of the agitator:
All removable shaft and agitator parts located in
side the vessel have been labeled to distinguish
them from one another. To ensure problem-free
running later, all these parts must be installed ac
cording to these labels.
If the parts have been installed correctly, there will
always be two identical labels adjacent to one an-
other.
The application of force of any kind must be
avoided. The agitator shaft in particular must not be
subjected to any bending forces during
installation. This would inevitably lead to problems with
the running motion of the agitator.
The agitator must only be lifted at the support
points provided. To avoid side on impacts with the
agitator shaft, the agitator must not be allowed to
swing whilst being lifted.
Any seals on the agitator flange or on the cross-
beam must be inserted in an undamaged state be
fore the agitator shaft is installed. The sealing sur
faces between the installation and agitator flanges
must be perfectly clean.
When the agitator is placed into position, ensure
that the agitator shaft is not being subjected to any
excessive force.

Screw the agitator flange or cross-beam to the installation
flange. (bear in mind the tightening torque and bolt qual-
ity for installation flange bolts)
To guarantee the necessary stability of the agitator
you should keep it stably suspended until it has
been fully screwed to the vessel.
If the agitator shaft is separated from the agitator by a
flange coupling (DIN 28155), the agitator shaft should
be installed in the stirring vessel first. Afterwards screw
together the two halves of the coupling.
Observe the labels and tightening torque.
The mounting surfaces must be perfectly clean
with no signs of damage.
Handle the mounting surfaces with the greatest
possible care and protect them against damage.
The assembly drawing shows the technically correct way
to install the agitator.
The agitator material 1.4571 has a tendency to “jam”
(stick-slip effect) even for loose fits. Burring, damage to
surfaces and tilting must therefore be avoided at all costs
when moving the agitator. Using a suitable assembly
grease, e.g. Kübler “ALTEMP Q NB 50” can reduce this
risk.
If the apparatus is to be stored for longer than one year
the storage instructions of the drive and shaft seal Manu-
factures should be observed.
X. Initial conditions before installation:
The stirring vessel has been set up so as to be stable and
ready for agitator installation.
The vessel axis has been aligned vertically.
The operating state of the stirring vessel allows the agita-
tor to be installed without risk to man or machine.
The agitator flange or cross-beam are appropriately stiff
and solid in construction.
A fit that has jammed cannot be undone in most
cases and means the parts affected must be
scrapped.
XI. Static functional test:
Check the shaft seal (if present) for watertight-
ness.
Turn the agitator shaft one full revolution by hand at the
motor fan propeller. Whilst doing so, check the running
accuracy of the shaft as per DIN 28161.
XII. What needs to be electrically
connected...
The drive motor according to the circuit drawing located in
the terminal box.
Ensure the rotating direction of the agitator is
correct as indicated by the rotation direction arrow.
All other required connections necessary to operate the
agitator or which may be present (e.g. proximity switch,
float-magnet switch, contact pressure switch, etc.)

The connections should only be carried out by

qualified technicians familiar with the relevant
safety regulations and precautions.

XIII. Test run / putting into operation:

The following should be checked before putting into
operation:
a) all bolted connections are tight.
b) the rotation direction of the agitator shaft is
correct.
c) for models with a drive or shaft seal, have all the
measures described in the related operating
instructions been met (e.g. lubricant, velnting,
packing fluid filling ect.)
The following should be checked when performing a
test run of the agitator:
a) The running motion in air
b) The running motion in the product
c) Leakage test for all connected parts
d) The power and current consumption when stirring
product must be max. 90% of the nominal values
shown on the type plate.
The agitator is now ready for operation and can be put
into operation.
If any problems arise, we request that you inform our
company immediately.

XIV. Maintenance:
In the case of the three-phase motor, the normal
regulations must be observed.
Drive, shaft seal, etc. should be maintained ac
cording to the manufacturers instructions.
If necessary, tighten stuffing box (if present).
Grease from time to time with a lubricant compatible
to the product being mixed. If necessary, replace the
stuffing.
For models with a V-belt drive: check the tension of the
V-belt regularly. If necessary retighten.
If necessary, regrease the agitator shaft bearing using
a suitable ball bearing grease. The location of the
grease nipple is shown on the assembly drawing.

Bearings filled with long-life grease (suffix 2Z or

2RS) are maintenance-free

XV. Replacement and wearing parts:

When ordering replacement or wearing parts,
please state the machine number of the agitator,
the drawing number and item number.
