Install / Failure Note

Grovhac's own stated reason to spec an air motor over electric: air-driven agitators are inherently variable-speed and explosion-proof and "cannot burn out or overheat" — the real failure mode an electric-drive shaft faces when it stalls against viscous or settling media in a chemical-processing tank.

A mixer chosen on HP alone ignores what actually fails first in chemical-processing tank service: a viscous or settling media that stalls an electric-drive shaft. Grovhac's guidance to spec an air motor for that condition, paired with Houston PolyTank's mounts engineered for the resulting torque/load, is the difference between a mixer that lasts and one that burns out in month three.
