Sorry guys I mentioned anti rotation screw in place of sleeve clamping screw so the sleeve rotates with the shaft because of the clamping screw and also due to the fact that it's split halves are slide fit on to the shaft. Steady bearing bush has a anti rotation screw that is just long enough to...
No the agitator has just one steady bearing that is supported with the help of three steady arms attached to the vessel.We can shift the steady bearing location about +/- 20 cm from its centerline position by threading in or out the clevis.
Almost every time we re-assemble the steady bearing...
Dear All,
Thank you for your interest. I am not able to get you guys the whole shaft picture but I have a picture of steady bearing arrangement and I can tell you that steady bearing lies at about 1.5 meters from shaft's lower impeller end.
Shaft has been worn down to maximum of 2mm and on...
Hi guys,
We recently replaced main shaft of one of our agitators with a new one. We intend to refurbish the replaced shaft which was in service for about 11 years with 85 percent yearly availability. We want to refurbish the shaft so that in can serve for similar tenure again on our other...
Thank you micalbrch, like I said we change it when we have high pressure reported in P.G.and yes we have high Sundyne O&M Manual for the model but it does not say much about lube oil circuit and ways to troubleshoot problems in it.
Have you ever worked with this model yourself, if so could you...
Hi Guys, We use Sundyne LMV 331 pumps and we change its lube oil circuit filter after every 6 months. Whenever we need to change the filters the circuit's pressure increases, I need clarity about the following if you guys could help:
Doest this has anything to do where the Pressure Gauge is...
Hi guys, I have only worked with Mixing Solution's Agitators and I observed that each of them have baffle plates attached to bottom half of the agitator. Can any one explain to me what are the baffle plates being used for.
We are using Chesterton 1724/324. Unfortunately I do not have a drawing with me at the moment to show you guys exactly where are we using the gland packing in the rotary valve.
But what I can assure you guys is that we do indeed need to fix gland packing rings on to seal cassettes before we can...
We are considering process causes as well for the sudden increase in failure frequency. Previously gland packing was being replaced after every 8 months or more but now it is lasting for few weeks only. We believe adhesive failure is not the only cause for gland packing failure but it definitely...
Thank you very much for your valuable advice. I have seen dry well in gearboxes used in my plant's agitators and yes dry well in their case is surrounding the output shaft.
Hi Guys, we have been having trouble with our rotary valves, as gland packing on its seal cassettes come off, due to as we think is failure of adhesive we are using for applying gland packing. Rotary Valve is ZPH 550.1 by OEM Coperion, which recommends us to use Chesterton PTFE Gland Packing...
We have been recently having some trouble with our rotary valves, as the gland packing rings on its seal cassettes come off due to as we think is inept adhesive. Rotary valve is used to transfer PTA powder whose PH valve is about 5 and is at about 120 degree celsius. Can anyone recommend some...
