3. SHIPPING
Each gear unit is inspected and approved by the QUALITY CONTROL DEPARTMENT before shipment. The in-
spection is carried out based on the order specification. The approval of the gear unit is granted after no load test
of several hours, in normal operating position and at the speed indicated on the nameplate.
3.1. SHIPPING CONDITIONS
Unless otherwise specified, gear units are shipped in unpacked condition and depending on necessity, fixed on
wooden pallets with open crating protection. Sometimes parts, such as spare filter elements, are separately
packed. In such case, the end-user must take care of the assembly.
The Hansen P4 gear unit is shipped without oil.
All grease lubrication points are factory filled.
In case the gear unit, after arrival of the shipment from Hansen Industrial Transmissions nv (H.I.T.), has
to be transported further, H.I.T. advises to avoid transport by train. If the gear units are nevertheless to
be transported by train anyhow, then the necessary precautions must be taken by the forwarder to
avoid false Brinelling damage on gears and bearings.
3.2. PAINTING
Unless otherwise specified, the standard external paint for Hansen Industrial gearboxes is an epoxy primer with
high solids content, corresponding to the German Standard RAL 5021, water blue.
The paint system is designed for gear units installed indoors only and not exposed to humidity or aggressive
chemicals.
The painting system is suitable to be applied in the atmospheric-corrosivity category “C1” according to ISO
12944-2.
Durability range according to ISO 12944-1: at least L, 2 to 5 years
The durability range is NOT a “guarantee time”. Durability is a technical consideration that can help the owner
set up a maintenance programme.
Overcoating is possible with most paints based on alkyd-, epoxy or polyurethane resins.
3.3. PRESERVATION
The inner parts of the gear units are sprayed with rust preventing mineral oil. The breather plug (standard, dust-
proof, anti-humidity) is neither removed nor sealed.
The shaft extensions are protected with a rust preventing grease. The hollow shafts and all unpainted machined
surfaces are coated with an anti-oxidizing waxy varnish.
This standard system offers corrosion protection during transport and/or short term storage for up to one year in-
doors.
4. STORAGE
Always store gear units in their original packaging.
Gear units should not be stored near vibrating machines in order to avoid damage to bearings.
The changes in relative air humidity and in temperature must be such that no condensation can occur in the
storage room.
4.1. SHORT TERM STORAGE - INDOORS
A standard preservation of the internal parts of the gear unit is provided for storage up to one year indoors in a
dry, ventilated and sheltered area. The sheltered area must be protected against environmental influences.
Let the applied means of protection intact.
