Heavy Duty LE Rotator: Operation and Instruction Manual General Information
Congratulations on the purchase of your Heavy Duty
LE Rotator from Environmental Express.
The well-designed Heavy Duty LE Rotator delivers quiet, consistent and dependable
service. Large 6.25" x 6.25" x 12.75" stainless steel compartments accommodate most zero
headspace extractors and many styles of glass and plastic bottles. The box style design offers
a greater degree of safety than other styles of rotators.
The 12-position sample box is constructed of 14 gauge stainless steel reinforced at all
joints. The drive shaft is a full 1” in diameter to prevent any breakage, even with off-center
loads. Glass bottles containing extraction uid are shielded within the stainless steel box, not
rotating exposed in your laboratory.
LE1002 rotators use Brother® high efciency gear motors with self-lubricating
drive chains. Brother gear motors are designed in accordance with today’s most stringent
industrial standards to ensure longer service life and increased reliability. These all-helical
gears are among the quietest available and have the very high surface hardness required
to insure extended wear resistance commonly associated with EPA Method 1311. A selflubricating chain prevents slippage and requires no maintenance. Precise, constant speed
control is maintained during long hours of continuous operation.
