and attaching accessories.
The integrated on/ off switch is not suitable for disconnecting the
appliance from the mains.
Please observe the permitted speed for the dispersing element.
Never set higher speeds.
Meter powder not too close to the flange, otherwise powder can
be sucked into the drive.
Never run dispersion tools dry, as the gasket and bearings will be
destroyed if the tools are not cooled by the medium. The gasket
and bearings are made of PTFE and rustproof steel; the following
points should therefore be noted:
Chemical reactions of PTFE occur in contact with molten or solute
alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, as well as with fine
powders of metals in groups 2 and 3 of the periodic system at
temperatures above 300 °C - 400 °C. Only elementary fluorine,
chlorotrifluoride and alkali metals attack it; halogenated
hydrocarbons have a reversible swelling effect.

Correct use

The dispersion equipment T 10 basic is suitable by use of most
different dispersion tools for the production of emulsions or dis-
persions. It is conceived for the employment in laboratories.
The T 10 basic is conceived for the enterprise at a stand or for the
enterprise at hand.
To the intended use the equipment must be fastened carefully
over the arm with a cross sleeve to the stand. Set up the coming
on an even and sturdy underbody. Make sure that the attachment
mechanism (e.g. stand R 104) is set up nontilting on a sturdy under-
body and during the dispersing procedure not to move begins.
The protection for the user is not ensured no more, if the equip-
ment with accessories is operated, which are supplied or are

not recommended not by the manufacturer or if the equipment in
not correct use is operated against the manufacturer default.Do
not touch rotating parts during operation.

Unpacking

Please unpack the equipment carefully and check for any dama-
ges. It is important that any damages which may have arisen
during transport are ascertained when unpacking. If applicable a
fact report must be set immediately (post, rail or forwarder).
The delivery scope includes:
A T 10 basic dispersion equipment according to the ordered type,
one clamp R 200, a tool set and the operating instructions, all sto-
red in a suitcase.

Useful facts

You have acquired a high- quality product. When used in combina-
tion with one of our recommended dispersing elements, the drive
unit is a high-speed dispersing and emulsifying unit capable of
handling free-flowing and liquid media in batches.
Dispersion is the dissolution and diffusion of a solid, liquid or
gaseous phase in a continuum that is not consolute with that
phase.
The rotor/stator principle:
Due to the high rotation speed of the rotor, the medium to be
processed is automatically drawn axially into the dispersion head
and then forced radially through the slots in the rotor/stator
arrangement. The high accelerations acting on the material
produce extremely strong shear and thrust forces. In addition, high
turbulence occurs in the shear gap between rotor and stator,
which provides optimum mixing of the suspension.
