STEL Range Agitated Pressure Pots User Guide

Functional Description

a. Reservoir

In its standard design, an ADL material pressure tank consists of a container with a removable lid, a compressed air inlet fitting assembly comprising of an air pressure regulator with back pressure control, a pressure gauge, a tested safety relief valve, a material outlet fitting (also on the lid). The tank operates as a feed system to the user’s fluid dispensing or spraying device. ADL material pressure tanks are suitable for multiple fluid applications such as dosing, spraying and mixing. The required delivery pressure or fluid flow rate is adjusted by a pressure regulator with a back pressure control in the air input side. Once the operating pressure has been set, the tank ensures an even flow of the fluid to the user’s device.

b. Agitator

The operation of the tank should be performed under mandatory observance of the instructions described in this operation manual. The electric motor along with its components must not be disassembled or opened. The prescribed intervals of maintenance and check-up should be observed. It is the operator’s responsibility to make sure the fluid loaded in the tank does not cause the motor to stall. In the event of regular stalling or unusual motor behaviour, contact ADL .

i

Standard agitated tanks must not be used in potentially explosive and hazardous areas.

In general, the agitator assembly is used in a vertical position. It is necessary that the agitator is equipped with a mixing blade or mixing mechanism that is suitable for the fluid used. The mixing blade, which is included in the standard delivery, is suitable for most industry fluids. Other mixing devices can be supplied. For more information, contact ADL . ADL shall not be held responsible for damages occurred as a result of use of inappropriate mixing mechanisms.

The agitator operation is only allowed when the blade is covered by the fluid.

Avoid axial load of the agitator shaft as it might cause damage to its bearing.
