Requirements for the user
2.1
This operating manual is intended for persons assigned with operating
and monitoring the Fritsch of the PULVERISETTE 6. The operating manual
and especially its safety instructions are to be observed by all persons
working on or with this device. In addition, the applicable rules and regulations for accident prevention at the installation site are to be observed.
Always keep the operating manual at the installation site of the of the
PULVERISETTE 6.
People with health problems or under the influence of medication,
drugs, alcohol or exhaustion must not operate this device.
The of the PULVERISETTE 6 may only be operated by authorised persons
and serviced or repaired by trained specialists. All commissioning, maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by technically qualified
personnel. Qualified personnel are persons who, because of their education, experience and training as well as their knowledge of relevant
standards, regulations, accident prevention guidelines and operating
conditions, are authorised by those responsible for the safety of the

2.2.1 Operating principle
Safety information and use
The grinding stock is crushed and ground by grinding balls in a grinding
bowl. The centrifugal forces resulting from the rotation of the grinding
bowls around their own axes and from the rotating support disc (14)
influence the contents of the grinding bowl consisting of grinding stock
and grinding balls.
The grinding bowl and the support disc (14) have opposite directions of
rotation so that the influence of the centrifugal forces is alternately in
the same direction and in the opposite direction. The result is that the
grinding balls run down the inside of the bowl's wall as friction effect and
the grinding balls hit the opposite wall of the grinding bowl as impact
effect. The impact effect is amplified by the impact of the grinding balls
against each other.
The loss-free comminution, even when grinding suspensions, is ensured
by the hermetic seal between the grinding bowl and the lid.
a Rotation of the grinding bowl
b Centrifugal force
c Movement of the support disc
2.2.2 Drive motor and speed regulation
A maintenance-free three-phase motor operated via a frequency converter is used as the drive.

4.2
The guarantee excludes all claims for damage due to improper transport.
Unpacking
n Remove the nails that fasten the wooden hood to the transport
pallet.
n Lift the hood off the transport pallet.
n The pre-perforated segments can be detached so that the foam
parts can be removed more easily.
n Please store the transport packaging so that it can be reused if you
need to return the product. Fritsch GmbH accepts no liability for
damage caused by improper packaging (packaging that is not from
Fritsch).
n Compare the contents of the delivery with your order.
Grinding bowls made of tempered steel may have recesses
on the surface caused during production. They do not have
an impact on grinding or the grinding results and usually
disappear after the first grinding operation.
These recesses on the surface, if present, are within the
range of the permissible production tolerances. Complaints
relating to such grinding bowls therefore cannot be
accepted.
