4. General Information 4.1. DESCRIPTION The BMI series range is vertical agitators with a stainless steel base and a lip seal as a sealing system. Although these agitators are very compact, they have a bearing bracket which is totally independent of the motor.
When receiving the agitator, check the packaging and its content to ensure that it matches the delivery note. INOXPA packs the agitators in their fully assembled form or disassembled on a case-by-case basis. Ensure that the agitator has not been damaged in any way. If it is not in good condition and/or any parts are missing, the carrier must submit a report as soon as possible.
According to the model, the agitators are too heavy to be stored or installed manually. Use an appropriate mode of transport. Do not handle the agitator by the shaft as this may become deformed. INOXPA S.A.U. 20.003.30.02EN · (A) 2021/12...
The motor must be provided with devices for protection against power overload and short-circuits. The agitator cannot be used in areas where there is a risk of fire or explosion when this has not been specified in the order. INOXPA S.A.U. 20.003.30.02EN · (A) 2021/12...

8.3. LUBRICATION The BMI vertical agitators are mounted on permanently greased bearings, which do not need maintenance. The bearings can be re-greased by stripping the support, cleaning the previous grease off the bearings or by replacing them. The bearing houses are also cleaned and finally re-greased with a 50% - 70% grease.
• Take off the elastic ring (66) of the upper ball bearing with suitable pliers and remove the upper ball bearing (70A) with a press.
