Page 12: Spacing Of The Impeller And Stub Shaft
Assembly and installation manual QIM/QDB Mixer Series 3. SPACING OF THE IMPELLER AND STUB SHAFT The correct functioning of the pump depends on the separation of the impeller (2S) from the backplate (11A) and the fixation of the stub shaft (6P) on the motor shaft. Follow the next steps to fix the stub shaft on the motor shaft: 3a. - Page 13 Assembly and installation manual QIM/QDB Mixer Series 3c. Put the impeller key (24C) on the keyway of the stub shaft. Place only the rotary holder of the mechanical seal (96A) together with its respective O-ring (96E) until it seats on the shoulder of the stub shaft.
- Page 14 Assembly and installation manual QIM/QDB Mixer Series 3d. Once the assembly is tightened place a spacer of 0.060” (1.53 mm) thru 0.070” (1.78 mm) between the back of the impeller and the front of the backplate. You may use a caliper, some shims or a washer with that width to set the critical distance for the correct performance of the mechanical seal.

Take the impeller nut, impeller gasket, impeller and impeller key off. Do not forget to remove also the spacer used to determinate the stub shaft position. - Page 16 Assembly and installation manual QIM/QDB Mixer Series Place and fix the backplate with the stationary seal into the adapter, as in step 3b. 4b. Assembly the rotary single seal face (96B), the rotary seal O-ring (96G), spring (96D) and rotary holder O-ring (96E) into the rotary holder (96A). Remember that you can use water or dishes soap to lubricate or glue O-rings and gaskets to the metal elements to facilitate assembly.

Assembly and installation manual QIM/QDB Mixer Series Tight the assembly as previously did before in step 3c. For models 114 and 214 use a torque of 25 ft.lb and a torque of 40 ft.lb for the rest of the models when tightening the impeller nut. - Page 18 Assembly and installation manual QIM/QDB Mixer Series 5b. Tighten the clamp assembly to close the casing to the adapter, be sure it is centered and level around all the circumference. Avoid that the casing fits unevenly in the adapter to prevent it from rubbing against the impeller.

Place the QIM onto the QDB table and fix the motor using the hexagonal screws (T1) and nuts (T2) to the brackets on the table. Do not tight the screws until the hopper (H) is installed.
- Page 21 Assembly and installation manual QIM/QDB Mixer Series 6e. Continue mounting the hopper on the tabs at the sides of the poles of the table. Use the hexagonal screws (T3) and nuts (T4) to maintain in position the hopper but do not tight them yet so you can lift the hopper to install the ball valve (V).
- Page 22 Assembly and installation manual QIM/QDB Mixer Series Notes. Before starting the pump check that the motor turns in a counterclockwise direction. Keep the suction line flooded and the mechanical seal lubricated with the fluid which is going to be pumped. Never operate the pump when dry or it may damage the seal. Maintain enough NPSH available in the suction line to avoid the pump to cavitate.
