Troubleshooting Guide

SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSES POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Noises and vibration Mounted on poor foundation

Misaligned couplings

Loose or broken parts

Excessively worn gears



Worn or faulty bearings



Low liquid level or excessive forces in tank


Excessive backlash or shaft end play

Loose, Bent, or missing impeller blade

Magnets over torqued

Improve installation rigidity. Tighten foot bolts.

Recheck Alignment

Check for breaks or cracks. Tighten all bolts.

Check shimming for proper contact. Check possible machine overload. Keep oil clean. Replace gears if necessary.

Check alignment, adjustment and possible overload. Clean and flush reducer, replace worn bearings and add new lubricant as required.

Turn mixer off and return tank level to 2' above lower impeller before resuming operation.

Check for worn bearings, gears and proper shimming.

If loose, replace and tighten all bolts. If blade is missing or bent, replace blade with proper size and type.

Reduce viscosity or specific gravity of product

Overheating Lack of, or improper, lubricant

Obstructed air flow



Unit operating over thermal rating

Keep oil at proper level and use recommended types. Change oil periodically

Check air supply for proper motor fan circulation. Avoid high surrounding ambient temperatures.

Check rating with actual load.

Lubricant
Leakage
Loose covers or end plates

Worn or damaged oil seals

Foaming oil

Check for torn gaskets. Tighten all bolts

Replace with new seals. Avoid inserting seal over sharp edges.

Replace oil with proper type (non-foaming)

Mixer impeller operating in wrong direction Motor is wired incorrectly Switch any two leads in motor junction box (3 phase motors only)
