The GRACO 172313 SHAFT, MIXER is a component designed for use in GRACO mixing equipment, typically as part of an agitator assembly. Its material is not specified in available documentation, but it is engineered for robust performance in mixing applications. The shaft is intended to transmit rotational force from the motor to the mixing element within a drum or tank, ensuring thorough blending of materials.

Key Features:

• Mixer Shaft
• Compatible with GRACO air-driven agitators and mixing equipment; fits agitator shaft sizes of 7/16" (11.1 mm) or 1/2" (12.4 mm) square
• Engineered for reliable torque transmission
• Designed for easy installation and maintenance
• Robust construction for industrial mixing environments

Applications:
Used in industrial mixing and agitation applications, particularly in equipment requiring thorough blending of liquids or semi-solids within drums or tanks.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures optimal performance, safety, and compatibility with GRACO equipment.
• Determine the agitator shaft size (7/16" or 1/2" square) before installation.
• Select the appropriate shaft adapter and use the smallest adapter that fits with minimal slip.
• Attach the shaft adapter to the flat side of the motor shaft near the bottom of the motor.
• Tighten the set screw securely to 8–9 ft-lbs (11–12 N•m).
• Torque the socket head screw to 12.5–14 ft-lbs (17–19 N•m).
• There is approximately 1/2" (12 mm) of adjustment travel on the adapter shaft for fine-tuning.
• Regularly inspect the shaft and adapter for wear or damage.
• Ensure all fasteners are properly torqued during maintenance checks.
• Use only genuine GRACO replacement parts for repairs.
