2Safety
2.1Intended Use
The standard PM powder mixer version is designed for use in the food, pharmaceutical, and
biotechnology industries.
The PM powder mixer is designed for blending liquid base media with powder or liquid additive media. In its standard use, the powder mixer is designed for batch mode with individual powder bags. Continuous operation utilizing conveying equipment is possible with a
special version.
Each PM powder mixer is designed according to customer requirements. The seal materials
in the pumps have been selected for the respective media.
Supply and pumping of the base medium must be done in compliance with the maximum
temperatures and pressures specified for the given powder mixer version and size. See the
attached document entitled "Specifications."
The pump flow direction for the self-priming pump is fixed. The FZ pump can generate a
vacuum in the suction line.
The PM powder mixer may only be used under the operating conditions specified in the customer's order. See the attached Order-Related Documents. For other operating conditions,
please contact Fristam.
2.2Predictable Misuse
– The standard PM powder mixer versions may not be used in explosive atmospheres.
– Introduction and pumping of foreign objects in the mix can block and destroy the pipes,
the valves, or the shear pump.
– Pumping of base media or powders other than those specified can destroy pipes, valves,
or pumps. The seal materials (elastomers) and the pumps have been selected for specific
base media and mixtures. See Specifications and Order-Related Documents.
– Pumping of powders other than those specified or incorrect mixing ratios can clog the
pipes, the valves, or the shear pump. For uninterrupted operations, the maximum allowable particle size of the powder must not be exceeded.
– Modifications and changes to the pump are only permissible with the consent of Fristam.
2.3System-Specific Safety Instructions
Impermissible Pressure or Temperature Range
Personal injury and material damage from leakage or bursting of pumps or pipes and valves.
► Maintain the pump, pipe, and valve pressures within the specified pressure ranges. See
the attached document entitled "Specifications" and the operator's manuals for the
pumps.
Maintain the pump and pipe temperatures within the specified temperature ranges. See the
attached document entitled "Specifications" and the operator's manuals for the pumps.
Hot Equipment Surface
Contact burns from touching the pipes.
► Check the temperature before touching the pipes.
► Only touch the pipes if you are wearing suitable gloves.
Noise Generated By Running Powder Mixer
Permanent hearing damage. The A-weighted sound pressure level of the powder mixer can
be greater than 80 dBA.
7
/ / PM POWDER MIXER / / /
► Always wear ear protectors in the vicinity of the running powder mixer.
► The local noise exposure regulations must be complied with.
► See the noise emission values for the pumps in the attached operator's manuals.
Danger of Crushing When Moving Powder Mixer on Casters
Foot injuries from being run over by casters.
► Wear safety shoes.
Cold Firefighting Water on Hot Pump
Material damage from bursting of pump.
► Do not cool the pump down excessively when extinguishing a fire.
Unsuitable Working Height or Direction
Danger of injury when working on raised table.
► Lift the powder bag using a suitable aid.
► Place a working platform beside the table and use.
► Work on the side of the table designated for this purpose.
2.4Labels
► Do not alter or remove the labels on the powder mixer.
► Immediately replace damaged or lost labels with ones that are true to the originals.
2.4.1Safety Labels
Fig. 1 "Hot Surface"
The "Hot Surface" label indicates that parts can become hot during operation or, if applicable, that a hot base medium is being pumped. Check the temperature before touching the
pipes. Only touch the pipes if you are wearing suitable gloves.
Fig. 2"Do Not Reach Into Funnel"
The "Do Not Reach In" label indicates that the funnel must not be reached into during operation. There is a danger of injury in the region of the valve.
Fig. 3"Do Not Bend Over Funnel"
The "Do Not Bend Over Funnel" label indicates that breathing in of dust or aerosols above
the funnel must be avoided. Dust and aerosols can irritate the respiratory tract. Wear a dust
mask if necessary.
Fig. 4"Do Not Place Small Parts in Funnel"
8
The "Do Not Place Small Parts in the Funnel" label indicates that no hard objects such as
rocks or metal parts should be allowed to get into the powder mixer. If they do, valves and
pumps can be damaged or destroyed and the product will be contaminated. In an emergency, immediately press the emergency stop button and remove small parts.
Fig. 5"Wear Ear Protectors"
The "Wear Ear Protectors" label indicate that damaging noise exposure may occur. Wear ear
protectors when operating the powder mixer.

3Design and Function
3.1Principles of Design
A centrifugal pump (P1), a shear pump (P2), a control cabinet, and a funnel are connected to
a pipe system in the PM powder mixer. The components are mounted to a table with a
frame. The standard funnel is equipped with a vibratory motor. The entire system is mounted on casters or legs.

3.2Funnel
Powder or liquid additive media is poured into the funnel, where it is then routed to the
base medium in the pipe. The funnel is sealed in the lower region by metering valve V1. In
the standard version, a vibratory motor is mounted on the side of the funnel. Other options
such as protective grating, filter, CIP cover, screw-in bushing, and adapter are available. The
funnel can be mounted on a vibration mount or welded on.

3.3Pipes
The pipes include connections, manual and pneumatic valves, and the sight glass. Standard
manual valves are equipped with hand levers that can be locked in the 0° and 90° positions.
Other handles or attached drives can optionally be installed.
The premix, made up of the base medium and the powder or added liquid, is formed in the
pipe region between throttle valve V2 and centrifugal pump P1.
The homogeneous end product is formed in shear pump P2 upstream of the discharge-side
connection.
