Defining the direction of thrust

A

Direction of thrust: upward

B

Direction of thrust: downward

1

Mixer shaft

2

Union insert

3

Propeller blade

The mixer can exert thrust either upwards or downwards in the operating space. To do this, the direction of rotation and propeller blade direction must match. The illustration shows the blade alignment in relation to the respective thrust direction:

  • Clockwise rotation: Upward direction of thrust
  • Anti-clockwise rotation: Downward direction of thrust

Observe the following points:

  • *The information on direction of rotation exclusively relates to the mixer when viewed from above!
  • The propeller blade direction and direction of rotation must match!
  • The system-specific specifications regarding direction of rotation (DoR) and direction of thrust (DoT) are noted on the rating plate!

NOTICE! For the proper direction of rotation, the motor has to be connected in the clockwise or anti-clockwise rotation. The specifications for the electrical connection can be found in the motor instructions!
