4 Operation The mixer should only be operated when mounted in a tank. Never place objects or tools inside the tank when operating the mixer. 4.3 Temperature max. 90°C and ensure that the media is not boiling During operation: During operation: min.
The following recommended preventive maintenance procedures are based on the average operating conditions of most Alfa Laval machines. A mixer which is subject to abrasive fluids, will need more frequent attention than one working in ideal conditions. The maintenance program should be adjusted to meet the demands of your normal operating condition.
25 hours run-in. Alfa Laval recommend that the bearings and O-rings should be checked for cleanability and wear after one month of operation. If there is abnormal wear on either component, contact Alfa Laval for further instructions.
