Equipment Description

The Shaker is a stationary mixing device for closed, tightly closing, round, angular, and oval vessels made of metal or plastic. It is suitable for mixing colors, color concentrates, building and industrial lacquers, and other materials with low viscosity.
The area of application ranges from the color wholesale to retail trade, the lacquer and chemical industry to any similar areas. This mixing device is especially suited as a system component for color dosing systems.
The container is automatically clamped into the machine and the substance is mixed by linear inertial forces using an alternating orbital shaking motion.
The necessary mixing time and the suitability of the containers must be determined by mixing trials prior to use.

 Set-up and use the Shaker for the first time

The machine is intended for indoor use and is to be protected from the elements.
When choosing the installation site, ensure that there is sufficient lighting and a work surface in front of the machine. Machine parts must not protrude into aisles and walkways!

Content

The Shaker is delivered with the following:

• These Operating Instructions
• Cover insert made of foam
• A rubber band to secure the handles
• A power supply cord

Set-up the equipment

Machine legs

The machine is delivered on a wooden pallet packaged in recyclable cardboard. Check the packaging immediately upon receipt and the equipment when unwrapping it for any visual external defects.
Keep all parts of the original packaging for a possible necessary return.
The machine shall be operated only by qualified personnel using suitable lifting equipment eg. a forklift truck to be lifted from the palette. Only move the fork in from the front or back to avoid damaging the transport rollers.

Pay attention to the weight of the machine specified in 11.1 not to exceed the permissible load of the floor.
Do not operate the machine on the shipping pallet or on any other unsuitable sub-surfaces.
In general, the machine does not need any fine adjustment because of its 3 legs. If necessary, you can adjust any unevenness in the floor with the height-adjustable legs.
To protect the mixing unit from damages during transport, it is secured with a lashing belt, which goes over the mixing unit. The belt must be removed prior to switching on the machine:

To release, pull the slider and move the lever by approx. 180° to the stop.
The pre-tensioning force is released immediately.

The strap is hooked into the attachment points in the machine.
