Step Step Alfa Laval recommend a soft starter or a frequency converter for the Agitator to reduce the load on tank and Agitator. For operation instructions from suppliers see 8 Appendix. The ramp up and ramp down time should be about 2-5 seconds.
- At the end of use, the equipment must be recycled according to the relevant, local regulations. Besides the equipment itself, any hazardous residues from the process liquid must be considered and dealt with in a proper manner. When in doubt, or in the absence of local regulations, please contact your local Alfa Laval sales company.
