 The
Jensen Series 500 Mixer is supported entirely by the tank manway
or nozzle. No tie rods, bases or other external supports are
used. Lightweight and low-overhang design are the keys to this
money saving feature.
Support for the propeller shaft is provided by the main thrust
bearing at the outboard end of the mixer and by the shaft end
bearing close to the tank shutoff device. With this long bearing
span, any possibility of shaft whip is virtually eliminated.
All moving parts are completely enclosed by protective covers.
Notes:
A - The tank shutoff device is keyed to the shaft and seated
against the propeller. Corrosion resistant materials and self-cleaning
design assure positive sealing even after years of service. With
the shutoff engaged, all parts of the mixer, including the shaft
end bearings, may be removed for maintenance.
B - The end bearing material is solid tungsten carbide for greatest
resistance to wear in the most abrasive environments and is housed
in a removable assembly permitting replacement without removal
of the mixer from the tank.
C - The tungsten carbide coated wear sleeve is designed to provide
maximum protection to the mixer shaft. The tungsten carbide contact
surfaces of the end bearing and wear sleeve assure long life
and superior wear characteristics.
