Product Description

The D-500 Disperser is a high speed dispersing instrument. It is based on the

Rotor/Stator Technology. The shaft and rotor/stator can be disassembled for easy

cleaning. You will receive the dispersing tools completely assembled for immediate use

with your disperser. Should you dismantle these (e.g. for cleaning) please refer to page

6. This product is for laboratory use only and is used in chemical industry, cosmetic

industry, pharmaceutical industry, paint industry as well as in universities and a wide

range of medical laboratories. The unit is a high performance dispersing/homogenizing

unit and also can be used as a high speed mixing unit with certain dispersing shafts.

The drive unit can be used, based on the dispersing shaft used for volumes from 10ml

to 8,000ml. There is a wide range of dispersing shafts with diameters of 20mm, 30mm

and 40mm stator diameters. It is to be mounted on a stand and not used as a hand

held instrument.

Safety Instructions

• When using electrical equipment, basic safety

precautions are necessary to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal

injury.

• Only use the instrument for its intended purpose.

• Ensure that the correct electric voltage of the instrument and the power supply

correspond correctly.

• Do not use this instrument in a hazardous area or manner. When handling

hazardous chemicals, use appropriate hand and eye protection.

• Do not immerse electrical equipment in water.

• The drive must not be used in highly combustible areas and operated with

easily inflammable liquids. It is recommended to run the units in fume hoods

during operation.

• To avoid electrical shock, do not open housing. Remove cord from the power

source when it is being checked or serviced. This instrument should only be

opened by a qualified service personnel only.

• The D-500 is designed for continuous operation, however normally the

ultimate fineness will be reached within a few minutes. Any further dispersing

will only introduce unnecessary heat into the medium.

• The D-500 must never run without liquid – the lower slide bearing is cooled and

lubricated by the liquid phase of the treated medium. Any dry running will

destroy the slide bearing!

• Ensure that the dispersing shafts are cleaned properly after every use. When

cleaning, remove the power cord from the power source.

• Never touch the spinning rotor, or shaft, or motor side coupling parts.

• It is recommended that the operator should be using hearing protection when

operating the unit at maximum speed.

• Do not operate after the equipment malfunctions or has been damaged in any

manner. Return unit to our service center for examination and repair.

• Switch off the unit before changing the dispersing element.

• Only suitable dispersing shafts from SCILOGEX may be used.

• Glass vessels must always be secured with a clamp to prevent them from

sliding.

• Use caution when adjusting the speed to avoid possible spraying of medium.

• The ventilation slots of the drive must not be obstructed.

• Never let the aggregate touch the bottom of the vessel.

Unpacking the Instrument

Please unpack the instrument carefully and inspect the unit, the tools and the stand for

damage. It is important that any damage during transport is noted at the time of

unpacking. In certain cases it may be necessary to follow up with the forwarder.
