3. Application

This submersible mixer is ideally suited to applications
involving the circulation, mixing, homogenization and
suspending of liquids with high or low content of solid
matter, like e.g. waste water, sludge, paper mass, and
chemicals.
To obtain the desired mixing effect it is very important to
choose the optimal positioning of the mixer in the tank.
The mixer may be used in rectangular or circular tanks
and is to be operated only when completely submerged
in the medium.
Please contact HOMA for further information on other
applications such as mixing of highly viscous media or
explosive materials.
In the event of damage, please contact the nearest ser-
vice center or the manufacturer.

4. Warranty

Our warranty only covers mixers which are installed and
operated in accordance with these installation and op-
eration instructions and accepted codes of good practice
and being used for the applications mentioned in these
instructions.
