Product Information

Introduction

Brandt® MA-RG Series Agitators are heavy-duty mechanical mixers for viscous fluids. The

gearbox is a helical-bevel gear drive system that reduces the rotational speed of the motor to drive

the impeller(s). The impeller shaft is suspended from and attached to the output shaft of the

gearbox.

Several models are available to meet a variety of mixing needs.

The naming convention for these models is:

MA-XRG

where X = the horsepower of the unit and RG indicates the helical-bevel gearbox. For example,MA-20RG is the 20 hp mud agitator with a helical-bevel gearbox.

MA-RG Series Agitators are very compact. Their low profile reduces headroom requirements and

provides more layout space on top of the tanks. The 1:1 height-to-width ratio results in a lower

center of gravity, providing stability and safety should the impeller encounter a sudden shock load.

MA-RG Series Agitators use a mounting skid.

An even lower profile version of the MA-RG Series Agitator is offered in which a base plate is used

instead of the mounting skid to reduce the overall height. The naming convention for the agitator

with a base plate is:

MA-XRGLP

Another variation of the MA-RG Series Agitators has a C-face motor with a close coupling style.

This variation also has a base plate instead of a mounting skid and naming convention is:

MA-XRGC

For example, the MA-3RGC is the 3 hp mud agitator with a helical-bevel gearbox, a base plate and

a C-face motor.

Each MA-RG Agitator uses a shaft-mounted impeller to maintain a homogeneous mixture of

liquids and solids within a tank. Impellers are available with flat blades (radial flow), contour blades

(axial flow), and canted blades (radial/axial flow). Blades may be installed in single or multiple

configurations to provide the desired results.

There are several options available for MA-RG Series Agitators. Popular options include special

paint finishes, remote starters, other electrical controls, and special duty motors. Contact your

sales representative to discuss which options may be right for your application. See Chapter 8,titled "Worldwide Locations" to locate the office nearest you.

Unit Description

Each MA-RG Agitator consists of a motor, gearbox, mounting base and shaft-mounted impeller.

Electrical controls, special coatings, custom bases, and other options are available.

Motor

The motors used on the mud agitators are explosion proof, three-phase electric motors directly

coupled to the gearbox using a flexible coupling with a solid steel guard. Motors are available for

most voltage/frequency requirements. Other electrical code styles and temperature ratings are

also available.

Gearbox

The gearbox is a triple-reduction helical-bevel gear drive reducing the motor speed (1800 rpm @

60 Hz / 1500 rpm @ 50 Hz) to the agitator speed (60 rpm / 50 rpm respectively) in a 30:1 nominal

reduction. The actual output speed varies by motor and gearbox size.

The gearbox contains an output shaft, two seals, and four to six bearings in addition to the helical-

bevel gear system. The bearings are generously spaced to minimize shaft vibration and deflection.

Seals are standard sizes readily obtainable.

Mounting Base

The motor and gearbox are assembled on a common base with heavy grade fasteners. The base

is sand blasted to white metal, primed with zinc and finish coated with epoxy. Special coatings are

available as an option.

Impeller

Impellers may have flat blades (radial flow), contour blades (axial flow), or canted blades (both

radial and axial flow). Blades may be installed in either single or multiple configurations to provide

the desired results.

Impellers range from 32 in. to 64 in. (813 to 1626 mm) in diameter for canted and flat blades and

20 in. to 64 in. (508 to 1626 mm) in diameter for contour blades. Flat-blade impellers arerecommended for tanks less than 5 feet (1.5 m) in depth. Use canted or contour blades in tanks

deeper than 5 feet (1.5 m). You may also mount a combination of types on a single shaft in tanks

deeper than 15 feet (4.5 m).

Larger custom-designed blades and mixing systems are also available. See Chapter 8, titled

"Worldwide Locations" to locate the office nearest you.

Flat-blade Impellers

When properly mounted, these impellers produce adequate agitation in shallow tanks, but may

require baffles to induce both axial and radial flow. Flat blades do the best job of preventing solids

from settling on the tank bottom. (See Figure 2-1.)

Figure 2-1. Flat blade impellers promote

radial flow in shallow tanks.

Canted-blade Impellers

On canted blade impellers (see Figure 2-2), the blades are angled downward at 60° to promote

axial as well as radial flow. Canted blades shear and circulate to provide quick mixing. Vortexing

may occur with canted blades.

Figure 2-2. Canted blade impellers promoteaxial flow within a tank.

www.nov.com/brandt

Contour-blade Impellers

On contour blade impellers (see Figure 2-3), the blades are designed with a variable pitch

reducing the horsepower requirements and inducing less shear to the mud. Contour blades move

liquid downward to the bottom of the tank, along the tank bottom toward the tank walls and then up

the tank wall. All fluid in the tank is mixed continuously and the same consistency is maintained inall parts of the tank.

Field experience has confirmed that this design provides the most homogeneous mixture in the

widest range of installations. Complete fluid agitation minimizes fluid control problems caused by

inconsistent mixtures. Contour blades also use less horsepower than canted blades.

Figure 2-3. Contour blade impellers promo te axial

flow with less shear to the mud.

Multiple ImpellersWhen an agitator is used in an extremely deep tank, over 15 feet (4.5 m) deep, multiple impellers

can be mounted on one shaft. Usually the upper impeller(s) is a canted or contour blade and the

bottom impeller is a flat blade. A bottom shaft stabilizer is often required for multiple impellers.

Contact our engineering department for proper impeller sizing and stabilizer requirements. See

Chapter 8, titled "Worldwide Locations" to locate the office nearest you.

Impeller Placement

Flat-blade impellers should be placed 6 in. (152 mm) above the bottom of the tank or 2 in. (51 mm)

above the bottom shaft stabilizer if one is used.

Canted and contour blade impellers should be placed on the shaft so that the distance between

the bottom of the tank and the lower edge of the blades is equal to 0.75 times the diameter of theimpeller. For example, a 36 in. (914 mm) impeller should be placed 27 in. (686 mm) above the

bottom of the tank.

Impeller Shaft

Standard impeller shafts for MA-RG Series Agitators are manufactured of solid mild steel. The

impeller shaft is coupled to the gearbox with a rigid coupling. All shafts are keyed to adjust the

height of the impeller.

Bottom Shaft Stabilizer

A bottom shaft stabilizer is required in deep tanks to reduce side loading on the gearbox bearings.

The stabilizer also protects the agitator shaft and impeller when auxiliary equipment is carried

inside the mud tank during rig moves. Bottom shaft stabilizers are required when the tank depth is

8 feet (2.4 m) or more.

Shaft length is determined by tank depth. When ordering impeller shafts, always specify

the actual tank depth. Tank depth is defined as the distance from the bottom of the tank to

where the agitator is mounted.

Installation

Installation

Proper installation of the agitator will help ensure proper operation with low level of vibration and

long service life. Installation should start at the top with connections then made toward the bottom.

Before installing the shafts, all coupling connections must be cleaned of all debris, sand or rust. All

connections must be torqued to the manufacturer’s specifications. Do not use grease or anti-seize

compound between the connections.

Agitator Safety Flow Diagram

The list below illustrates the safe and ideal steps in which to install the agitator. It is therefore

recommended that these steps are followed in order that a safe and efficient installation of the

equipment will take place.

Handling

Planning Meeting

For handling the agitator and shaft crates to the site, personnel involved should attend the

Planning Meeting to decide on the safest, most direct route to move the agitator and shaft cratesinto position as close as possible to the final location.

Risk Assessment

Risk assess any potential hazard that may lead to serious injury or death when transporting the

agitator and shaft crates. Hazards must then be addressed by all key personnel to ensure safe

transit of the crates to the site location.

To Site

Extreme care must be taken to prevent damage when moving the agitator and shaft crates.

Ideally, the use of a spreader bar with soft fabric slings is the recommended support method for

lifting. Never lift a crate with only one support point. Only certified sling sets are to be used. Ideally,

soft fabric slings should be used to minimise damage to the crates or components. All liftingequipment and procedures must comply with applicable safety requlations.

Unpack

Component check

Inform NOV of damage

Unpack

Personnel should always unpack the agitator and shaft in an efficient and safe manner providing a

clean and safe working environment.

The equipment will be delivered to the site in crates. Remove any protective sheeting and steel

banding used to secure the crates. Remove the lid and then the sides, taking particular care not to

damage the equipment or cause injury to any personnel.

Any small loose items should remain in the crates awaiting storage or installation.

Component Check

All components enclosed in the agitator and shaft crates are to be thoroughly checked against the

packing list to ensure all items have been delivered/received.

Inform NOV

NOV should be informed of any damage to the agitators and/or any missing items within seven

working days.

Installation - Planning Meeting

Planning meeting is to be carried out prior to installation of the agitators and shafts. A clear plan of

action is to be deduced involving key personnel on how best to install the agitators and shafts

efficiently and safely.

Installation - Risk Assessment

All potential hazards that may lead to serious injury or death during the installation process must

be taken into account. Hazards must then be addressed by all key personnel to ensure a safe and

efficient installation of the agitators and shafts.

Handle to Final Location

The installation activities involve substantial lifting and handling operations with some heavy and

awkward components weighing up to 2500 lb (1133 kg) individual weight. Loads may also require

to be handled through floor, bulkhead hatches and doors. To assist with this handling, it is

recommended to ship the larger, heavier components partially disassembled for easier and safer

installation. Actual handling procedures and sequence of activities may be changed as dictated byrig activities and experience gained with the handling of installation components.

Support Structure

Adequate support must be made in the deck in order to support the agitator correctly. Suitable

structure should be designed based on reaction forces specified on the installation drawings (if

applicable included in documentation package) and/or in this manual.

The following information should be reviewed and taken into consideration:

Agitator weight and design loads (Refer to table titled "MA-RG Series Models" on page 11

for weights of agitators and table titled "Impeller Shaft Measurements" on page 10 for shaft

weights and maximum torque.)

Location and size of skid mounting holes (Refer to Chapter 7, titled "Parts and Drawings".)

Placement of structural members to allow full contact support for the agitator skid footprint

Use of structural members of equal or higher rigidity to the material used in the agitator skid

is recommended. Typically I-beams of respective strength in the lateral and horizontal bulk

head to bulk head cross sections is sufficient to support the base/skid of the agitator.

Placement of the agitator

Directly to the tank deck is recommended. Lowering the mounting height improves the

strength of the structure and lowers the center of gravity, improving resistance to vibration.

Tank openings required to place the shaft and impeller into the tank

Proper placement of the impeller

Proper size and location of the baffles

The agitator frame should be supported by a rigid structure making the first fundamental natural

frequency of the whole system 15 % above the operating rotating frequency of the motor and

having following characteristics:

flat and level

www.nov.com/brandt

Below is an example of an installation where adequate primary structural support was added to

strengthen the deck area in which the agitators were installed.

Figure 3-1. Support structure

Please note that sub support frames for the agitator baseplates must be suitably fabricated.

Inadequately fabricated support frames can cause instability or vibration issues.

The agitator skid has been engineered to have the first natural frequency 50 % or more

above the motor operating speed. The natural frequency of the combined rigid structures is

different than that of its components as well as dependent on the rigidity of their

connection. Verification of the natural frequency of an as-installed structure might behelpful in eliminating any resonance. Should resonance of the combined structure occur, it

can be eliminated by modification of either the supporting structure or the rigidity of agitator

skid to support structure connection. The system natural frequency is typically directly

proportionate to its stiffness. Increasing stiffness will shift the natural frequency up, thus

decreasing the possibility of resonance. This can be achieved by:

1. use of rigid, symmetrical and leveled structural support for the agitator base.

2. adding cross members to the support structure.

3. minimizing the gaps between the agitator base and the support structure or closing of the gaps by

welding. Minimize the use of shims.

4. minimizing agitator shaft misalignment.

Below is an example of a sub frame with inadequate support.

Figure 3-2. Inadequate supp ort

Lifting and MountingLifting should be performed with proper lifting equipment and using only the designated agitator

lifting points. The agitator should be stored and lifted with its shipping crate until it is ready to be

installed in its final destination. The agitator should never be rested on the gearbox output shaft.

Once the agitator is in its intended position, check the alignment of the mounting holes and gaps

between the agitator skid and support structure as follows:

The gap between the agitator skid and support structure at the bolting points before bolt

down should be less than 0.025 in. (0.635 mm). Gaps at the bolting points ranging from

0.025 in. (0.635 mm) to 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) should be eliminated using shims to prevent

deflection of the agitator skid and impact on shaft alignment.

Minimum allowable shim size is 2 in. (51 mm) x 2 in. (51 mm) by the shim thickness.

Maximum allowable shim thickness is 0.5 in. (12.7 mm). Thicker shims must be welded to

the foundation.

No gap is allowed between the bolted components after tightening the bolt as it can cause

"soft foot" phenomenon.

If needed, the agitator skid can be permanently welded to the supporting structure to close

excessive gaps between the structures. Alternatively, the support frame can be build and

fitted to the agitator skid before being welded to the tank deck. Any gaps resulting from

unevenness of the tank structure can be closed while welding the support frame.

Installation

All MA-RG Agitators are supplied as shop assembled agitators. All shaft assemblies are broken

down into various separate parts (shaft complete with coupling/bushing assembly, impeller

assembly and stabilizer housing) to aid in maneuvering parts into mud pits with restricted access.

Two type of shafts are manufactured; either a solid shaft that is keyed for the impeller or a pipe

spool to which the impeller is bolted. The solid shaft installation instructions are given followed by

the pipe spool installation instruction on page 31.

Ensure that the skid is grounded before welding. Failure to do so can result in

electrical system damage.

Mechanical Installation

1. Refer to the "Taper-Lock Coupling Installation Instructions" that is supplied in the

"Supporting Documents". These should be reviewed to familiarise the user with the shaft

fixing components being used.

2. Before locating the agitator on top of the tank, ensure the surface is square and level.

3. Ensure before installation of the agitator onto the top of the tank, the structure is strong

enough to hold the unit and the tank dimensions are correct as per the general arrangement

drawings. It is recommended the agitators are bolted to rigid beams.

4. The agitator assembly can be lifted to its location and into place using the four lifting eyes

provided on the unit and a correct four leg lifting sling assembly (not supplied). The agitator

assembly should be placed on blocks in the exact location it will be secured to give

19.685 in. (500 mm) clearance from the bottom of the tank to the bottom of the shaft

assembly when the shaft assembly is fitted to the agitator assembly. This is to ensure the

stabilizer will be fitted in the correct location. The agitator assembly and shaft assembly

need to be fitted before the stabilizer to ensure correct alignment.

Figure 3-7. Agitato r lifti ng

5. Ensure access into the tanks is large enough for the shaft assemblies, impeller assemblies

and stabilizers. If it is possible to assemble the shafts completely before positioning inside

the tank, skip to step 8.

6. The impeller assemblies can be reduced in diameter by removing the blades, up to 4 if

necessary.

7. If the blades have been removed from the impellers, they need to be reinstalled. Refer to the

section titled "Bolt Torque Requirements" on page 102 for the correct torque for the agitator

fasteners.

8. When assembling the shafts, it is advisable to use two trestles and set the shaft in between

them for ease of assembly. See Figure 3-8.

Figure 3-8. Shaft assembly on trestles

9. For a single shaft and single impeller, do not remove the coupling already fastened to one

end. The preservation fluid needs to be removed from the shaft at this stage.

Figure 3-9. Single shaft with one half coupli ng

10. Install the impeller the correct way up. The impeller blades should be oriented so that the

fluid is pushed downward when the agitator is rotating clockwise when viewed from the top,

i.e. the leading edge of the paddle will be in the higher position with the trailing edge in the

lower position.

11. Ensure the bushing key is in the shaft keyway. Slide the impeller onto the shaft past the key.

Slide on bushing over the keyway and locate with the impeller coupling.

12. Locate the key and slide the impeller so that when the impeller is installed, the distance from

the bottom of the impeller blades to the tank bottom is roughly 0.75 times the impeller

diameter. For example, if the impeller diameter is 36 in. (914.4 mm), then the distance from

the bottom of the impeller blade to the tank bottom should be 27 in. (685.8 mm). If installing

dual shafts, the top shaft impeller distance should be taken from the bottom of the top shaft

coupling connection to the bottom of the impeller blade.

Figure 3-10. Impeller on shaft

13. After sliding the impeller into position, secure the impeller. Install the head of the bolts on the

underside of the impeller. See the table titled "Fastener Torque (lb-in.)" on page 51 for

proper bolt torque values.14. For assembly of dual shafts, if the top shaft assemblies have been sent to the site with the

coupling assemblies on both ends, one end will need to be removed to install the impeller.

To remove the coupling, follow step 15 - 19. See Figure 3-8 for top shaft complete with

couplings at both ends.

15. The preservation fluid needs to be removed from the shaft at this stage.

16. The bushing, coupling and shaft are secured together. This connection needs to be broken

by first removing the screws from the coupling/bushing, then inserting two of these screws

into the two jacking bolt holes on the coupling/bushing. Figure 3-11 shows three screws

securing the coupling/bushing assembly. The two jacking bolt holes show no screws.

17. When removing the coupling from the bushing using the two screws, it is essential to tighten

in the screws evenly. Do not just tighten one screw until it cannot be turned further. This will

damage the bushing and coupling threads. Tighten each a little at a time.

18. Once the connection is broken, the coupling and bushing should slide off the shaft easily.

They might need a slight tap with a rubber mallet to get the bushing moving, but this is all

that it should need. Do not force the coupling and bushing apart.

19. Once the coupling assemblies are apart, complete step 10 - 13 to install the impeller.

20. If the top shaft assembly has been sent to the site with one fixed coupling (similar to Figure

3-9) and the other half of coupling attached to bottom shaft assembly, follow step 10 - 13 to

install the impeller blade, then proceed to step 21 to assemble the bushing/coupling

assembly. The preservation fluid needs to be removed from the shaft at this stage.

21. Once the impeller has been installed, then the coupling/bushing assembly needs to be

replaced onto the shaft in the correct fashion.

22. Ensure the shaft end and coupling/bushing assembly are clean and free from any debris,

rust, grease or oil and the key is inserted into the keyway. See Figure 3-12 and Figure 3-13.

The one fixed coupling should not be removed by the user.

23. Slide on the coupling half and then slide on the bushing, ensuring the three tightening holes

and the two jacking bolt holes line up as in Figure 3-11 and the bushing and coupling are

aligned with the end of the shaft.

24. Ensure the screws are tightened up in an even fashion, going in a clockwise direction, as per

Figure 3-14 and Figure 3-15. Do not just tighten one screw until it cannot be turned further.This will result in damage to the bushing and coupling threads. Tighten each a little at a time.

25. Once the coupling and bushing are tightened together, the bolts need to be correctly

torqued. See the table titled "Fastener Torque (lb-in.)" on page 51 for proper bolt torque

values. Not tightening the bolts to the specified torque may result in the shaft falling off the

rigid coupling/bushing. Ensure the screws are torqued in an even fashion, going in a

clockwise direction as per Figure 3-16 until torqued to the correct setting.

Figure 3-16. Torque cloc kwis e

26. If the shaft has been assembled outside of the tank then, using the appropriate slinging

arrangement, lower the shaft through deck cut out on top of the tank. If required, the shaft

can be temporarily tied on the side of the tank.

27. If the shafts are to be stored after assembly on site, preservation fluid must be applied to

shafts and couplings.

28. The shaft should now be assembled to the rigid coupling under the agitator gearbox as per

Figure 3-17. This half coupling is fixed at the factory and under no circumstances should be

removed by the user without consulting with a field service representative.

29. The stabilizer housing should never be permanently installed to the tank floor until the

agitator and the shaft are installed, properly aligned and bolted down. Failure to follow this

step may result in the shaft falling out of the rigid coupling/bushing.30. Before installing the stabilizer, make sure the tank floor is suitable to weld the stabilizer. If

not, weld a doubler plate on the tank floor directly underneath the shaft.

31. To install, slide the stabilizer over the bottom of the agitator shaft once the impeller has been

installed but before the agitator is bolted down.

32. The blocks should be removed and the agitator should be secured to the mud tank using the

mount hole pattern shown on the installation drawing, or the unit can be directly welded to

the mud tank (provided necessary risk assessments are agreed and approved).

When the agitator is fitted with dual shafts, the lower shaft should be put in the tank first.

See the section titled "Bolt Torque Requirements" on page 102 for the correct torque of the

agitator fasteners. The shaft alignment should then be checked by rotating the impeller

through several revolutions manually.

Figure 3-17. Agitator shaft coupling connection

33. Once the agitator shaft is properly aligned, the stabilizer should be positioned so that theshaft is centered within the stabilizer.

34. In the case of sloping tank bottoms, cut the stabilizer to suit the tank profile.

35. Profiling the stabilizer to suit might result in losing the drain holes on the stabilizer bottom. If

so, similar drain holes must be made on to the stabilizer before welding onto the tank. See

Figure 3-18.

If correct position of the stabilizer location cannot be achieved:

a. Check the agitator shaft runout. Make sure all connections are flush with no gaps

between the two surfaces.

b. Check for level mounting of the skid base.

c. From the top, check the hubs/shafts for excessive runout. Proper runout can be verified

using a dial indicator at various sections along the shafts and hub connections. High

runout might require replacement of the shaft section or sections.

d. It may be required to reinstall the shaft ensuring that all connecting surfaces are clean,

making good contact and properly torqued.

40. Only after these steps are completed and assured that the shaft is centered within thestabilizer should the stabilizer be permanently secured to the tank floor by means of welding.

41. The shaft should locate into the stabilizer at 50 % of the total height. 75 % is the maximum

and 40 % is the minimum.

42. Check the impeller height and adjust if necessary. Reference step 12 for the correct height.

Some contact between shaft and stabilizer is normal during operation, but immediately

correct any hard striking.

Ensure that skid is grounded before welding. Failure to do so can result in electrical

system damage.

If water will be used in the tank during start up, the shaft stabilizer should be lubricated with

grease to reduce friction and minimize vibration during start up. Operation with mud does

not require lubrication.

Gearbox and Motor Shaft Alignment

The agitators are aligned at the factory before performance of the Factory Acceptance Test. The

alignment between the shafts should be inspected after installation of the agitator to ensure that

transportation, handling or installation has not caused a misalignment. Poor alignment can resultin increased vibration and failure or decreased service life of the coupling, gearbox or motor

bearings.

Alignment should not be attempted until the base is in position and the mounting and flange bolts

have been tightened.

The recommended alignment procedure is to use laser alignment tools or dial indicators. The less

accurate method of measurement using a straight edge can be used in areas where these

alignment tools are not available. The recommended maximum shaft misalignment is specified in

table below.

The dial indicator procedure uses the dial indicator attached to one coupling half with the indicator

button resting on the O.D. of the other coupling half to measure offset misalignment. To measureangular misalignment, the indicator is positioned so that the button rests on the face, near the

O.D., of the other coupling half. Rotate the shaft and dial indicator one full revolution while the

other shaft remains stationary and note the Total Indicator Reading (T.I.R).

Unless otherwise specified by the coupling manufacturer, offset misalignment should be limited to

0.010 inches T.I.R. and angular misalignment should be limited to 0.005 inches T.I.R. Adjust

misalignment by loosening the motor mounting bolts and re-tightening or shimming as required.

In areas where a dial indicator arrangement is not available, an adequate job of alignment can be

done with a straight edge. This method is especially useful if the coupling used contains an all

rubber drive element.

To check offset misalignment, lay the straight edge in line with the shafts on the O.D.'s of the

coupling halves. There should be no gaps under the straight edge. Check 4 locations 90º apart.There should be no more than specified gap under the straight edge. See the table titled

It should be readily accessible for service and maintenance and mounted in such a manner as to

minimise the possibility of damage from other handling or mobile equipment.

Care should be taken to ensure that it is not placed in a hazardous location when being operated

and that the possibility of inadvertent operation is minimised.

The unit should be mounted not less than 2 feet (0.6 m) above the servicing level.

A height of 5.5 feet (1.7 m) is recommended.

Use properly certified seal glands.

Emergency Stop Station


The unit should be certified Zone 1 and have an ingress rating of IP56 minimum.

The unit must be positioned for easy access and for non-hazardous operation by the operator or

others who may need to use it. Measures against inadvertent operation should not impair

accessibility.

The unit should be mounted not less than 2 feet (0.6 m) above the servicing level. Ideal height is

5.5 feet (1.7 m). The ideal position is such that you can see the whole agitator but do not need to

go into the danger area to operate it. Other accessible locations can be considered, i.e. close to

doorways, exits, etc.

The emergency stop should not be used as a functional stop for the unit but should be tested on a

regular basis to ensure reliable switching. Weekly testing is recommended.


General

Electrical Cabling / Distribution

Ensure each electric motor has a same voltage and frequency with the accepted tolerance limits -voltage +/- 5 %, frequency +/- 2 % of the rig supply voltage.

Cables will be run in accordance with the single line block diagram.

Great care must be taken when wiring to the electric motors. Only use recommended cable (as per

the drawings) or its equivalent.

Cables to the electric motors must be externally supported.

Cable trays should be installed in conjunction with the appropriate vessel installation / assembly

drawings.

Ensure the cable is free to move (without excessive movement) prior to the terminal box cable

entry. Ensure the cable has sufficient length so as not to be strained during operation preferably by

means of a loop or "pig-tail".

Do not leave the electrical wires inside the terminal box too long. Always use ring type crimps

when attaching the electrical wires to the motor terminals.


Unused cable entries must be plugged with appropriate certified plugs.

After obtaining the correct permit for connecting electrical power, check rotation for the correct

direction. Incorrect rotation can result in serious damage to the agitator and related gearbox. If

necessary, reconnect the electrical leads to reverse the rotation of the agitator motor.

Grounding

All agitators and motors must be grounded to the supporting structure. For details of proper

grounding, refer to the client's documentation.

Clean Up of Work Area

Remove all handling aids, frameworks, etc.

Re-install any handrails or other safety items which were removed for installation purposes.

Ensure all hand tools, chain blocks, rags and other equipment or debris is cleared away.

Remove any temporary fixtures. Repair any damage, etc.

Arrange to have exposed steelwork primed and painted in accordance with respective paint

procedure. After completion, clean the installation areas. Ensure the rig crew is happy with the condition of the

areas. Ensure the whole area is safe. Sign off all permits.

As-Built Documentation

After all work is completed, carry out an as-built survey. Ensure all documents and drawings are

red lined to accurately reflect the as-installed equipment. Return this information to the field

service representative. Existing documentation will be updated and provided to the customer.

Long Term Storage

Store the MA-RG Agitator in a cool, dry place.

The MA-RG Agitator is packaged to prevent corrosion for a period of 12 months if stored indoors.During shipping, all openings are covered or capped to protect the inside from dust, rust and

moisture. Threaded connections, couplings and shafts are coated with a corrosion inhibitor.

If the equipment is to be subjected to prolonged shutdown or storage, take the following steps to

ensure that the unit does not degrade during storage:

Motors are shipped from the factory pre-lubricated. Rotate the shaft 30 revolutions once

each month to keep the bearings in the motor and gearbox lubricated.

Place protective caps over all threads to further guard against contamination.

Keep the temperature as consistent as possible to prevent condensation.

If the motor is equipped with space heaters, connect them to the appropriate voltage and

frequency. If the unit is stored for more than one year, add grease before start up.

Lubrication

Bearing Lubrication

Grease the gearbox input bearing (models MA-25RG, MA-30RG, and MA-40RG only) every 1,000

operating hours with recommended Kluber Petamo GHY133 N grease (P/N 46DA) or MobilPolyrex EP2 (P/N 46CR).

Prior to mid 2008 the below greases were recommended. The greases shown in this manual are

given as examples of appropriate greases. Any other grease that meets the standards of the

National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI2) is acceptable.

Grease the motor every three months or as the motor manufacturer recommends.

Gearbox Oil

The gearbox can be filled with either a conventional mineral oil or a synthetic PAO (Poly Alpha

Olefin) oil depending on the anticipated service temperature range as listed in the table below.

The initial oil fill should be changed at 10,000 hour intervals for the conventional mineral oil. In

practice, change every 12 months depending on operating conditions.

If synthetic oil is used, the interval can be doubled to 20,000 operating hours or every two years.

The companies and oil shown below are typical. Mineral-based gear oils must comply with the

minimum requirements as specified in DIN 51 517 Part 3. The gearboxes are shipped with ISO VG

220 oil, as shown by the oil type label on the gearbox.

When changing the oil, always use the oil grade previously in use. Mixing oils of different grades is

not permissible. In particular, synthetic oil may not be mixed with mineral oils or different syntheticoils. If the oil type is changed, the gearbox must be flushed thoroughly with the new oil grade.

Do not over grease.

Do not use mineral grease.

Al low the gearbox to cool or open the vent plug before open ing the level plug. Hot

oil may escape rapidly and cause burns.

Gear oil is extremely slippery and sticky. Gear reducers are most easily filled using a pump

or pressurized lubrication gun. Be sure to dispose of used oil properly and clean area of

any spilled oil after completing this procedure.

Routine Maintenance Checklist

The MA-RG Series Agitator is designed for years of dependable service with routine inspection

and maintenance. Additional copies of this checklist should be placed close to the unit for quick

reference.

Startup

1. Check the oil level with the agitator turned off. The oil should be within 1/2 in. (12 mm) of the

bottom of the oil level hole.

2. The impeller should rotate clockwise when viewed from top.

3. The oil fill/breather plug must be clear of any obstruction to prevent pressure build-up and

possible seal damage.

4. The agitator should operate with no vibration.

5. Check the rubber insert on the input shaft coupling for wear and cracks.

6. For optimal performance, change the oil after the first five days of operation, particularly if

the unit has been in storage.

Daily

1. Check for oil leaks.

2. Keep the motor clean and ventilation openings clear of mud build-up or other debris.

3. Check the impeller shaft coupling for proper make-up.

Periodic

1. Check the oil level.

2. Lubricate the gearbox input bearing with the approved bearing grease every 5,000 operating

hours. (See the table titled "Formerly Recommended Greases" on page 48.)

3. Change the oil every 10,000 operating hours. (See the table titled "Recommended Oils" on

page 49.)

4. Lubricate the motor every three months or as the motor manufacturer recommends.

Do not overfill.

Do not over lubricate.

Do not over grease.

Bolt Torque Requirements

The bolt torque requirements for stainless steel, cadmium and zinc bolts presented in the following

tables are obtained from Drawing PI5508. Note the following conditions:

If torquing of a fastener is required, these values apply unless noted otherwise.

Values should be obtained by turning the nut and holding the bolt whenever possible.

Coefficient of 0.17 for cadmium and 0.22 for zinc and 70 % of the proof load.

Preload does not include the use of a lock nut.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FORDODGE®

TAPER-LOCK® Rigid Couplings

Figure 1

INSTALLATION ON SHAFT:

1. Read “To Install Bushing,” steps 1 thru 3.

Mount the female flange on the shaft endhaving the least length available. This leavesthe longest shaft end for the male flange whichrequires more room to tighten the bushing.

2. Locate large end of bushing in female flangeflush with end of shaft. Tighten bushing persteps 4 thru 6 under “To Install Bushing.”

3. Mount male flange on the other shaft. Locatethe small end of the bushing flush with the endof the shaft. Tighten bushing per steps 4 thru 6under “To Install Bushing.”

4. Locate and align shafts to bring coupling halvestogether. Pilot diameters and flange surfaces

should mate fully against each other beforebolting the flanges together.

5. A gap between the mating surfaces anywherearound the flanges indicates angularmisalignment. Difficulty in mating the pilotdiameter indicates parallel misalignment. Shaftsshould be aligned with a dial indicator toeliminate misalignment.

6. Insert and tighten screws “A” to therecommended torque given in Table 1. Thescrews are supplied with the male flangeassembly. It is necessary that the shafts befree to move endwise when tightening

screws. Using the screw to pull the flangetogether or into alignment without end floatmay pre-load the system and cause bearingproblems or damage to the coupling.

TO INSTALL BUSHING:

1. Clean shaft, bore and outside of bushing, andhub bore of all oil, paint and dirt. File away any

burrs.2. Insert bushing in hub. Match the hole pattern,

not threaded holes (each hole will be threadedon one side only).

3. ”LIGHTLY” oil setscrews and thread into those

half-threaded holes indicated by ⊚ on abovediagram.

4. Alternately torque setscrews to recommendedtorque setting in Table 2.

5. To increase gripping force hammer face ofbushing using drift or sleeve. (Do Not HitBushing Directly With Hammer) Re-torqueScrews After Hammering.

6. Recheck screw torque after initial run-in, andperiodically thereafter Repeat steps 4 & 5 ifloose.

DO NOT USE WORN HEX KEY WRENCHES.
