The smallest support of type STA1 is a laboratory support for use one tables – maximum mixer weight 18 kg. STA2 can be supplied both as a stationary model and also in movable form. In the movable version the support foot can be equipped with a small run-in height, for palettes for example. The weight of the stirrer mechanism is limited to a maximum of 65 kg.
The supports of the type STA3 can be supplied as stationary, movable and hinged models with the same foot design as STA2 – suitable for weights up to a maximum of 150 kg.
The TURBO-Mixer supports STA4 are for heavy stirrers and can only be supplied in the stationary version for up to 400 kg.

CONSTRUCTION

STA1, a laboratory and table-top support, consists of an H-food powder-coated RAL 3000, a cylindrical column and a suitable mount for the laboratory stirrer, optionally with a gas spring to facilitate lifting. In the stationary version, STA 2 and STA3 come with a base plate into which a square stainless-steel column is fitted. Ball journalled stirrer mounts at the running columns guarantee friction-free up and down movement of the attached stirrer mechanisms. The roller block is secured by means of the overcentre pin.
In the movable version STA2 f and STA3 f, the support foot comprises a closed frame construction with two base rollers and two steering rollers, together with a central linkage, which facilitate easy travel, steering and fixation. The base width is matched to the respective container size.
STA4 is equipped with one or two stainless steel columns, depending on the load and is only available in a stationary version.

SWITCHING SYSTEMS AND CONTROLS


With electrical lifting equipment, the end switches of the safety system for limiting the stroke are included in the price. To make installation simple, we recommend that you order the complete legally prescribed control with the system.

ACCIDENT PREVENTION REGULATIONS


According to accident prevention rules, lifting equipment with attached stirrers can only be used when compulsory locking ensures the container is in place and the mixing vanes are positioned in the containers.
Moreover, a safety device has to exist preventing uncontrolled lowering of the load. In the case of supports in explosion-protected environments, care is to be taken with the appropriate selection of materials and adequate earthing.
