When operating the PF22, make sure that the Q C-dispenser head is properly assembled and the
locking pins are in closed position.
The main switch is used for emergency stopping .
The PF22 should only be used for dosing and filling of liq uid fluids.
The PF22 must be placed on a stable bed plate and should not be not exposed to great humidity,
high temperatures or other abnor m al oper at ing-environments. It is not to be used in explosion
hazardous environments.
It is prohibited to maintain or clean the PF22, when it is connected to the power supply.
It is prohibited for unauthorised per sonnel t o open t he cover of the PF22's electrical parts.
Always remember that the PF22 must be earthed by way of the switch.

3 General information
3.1 Use
PF22 is a fully programmable, peristaltic filler ( dispenser ) which as a single unit can dispens e
liquids of volumes from 1 ml up to 9999. 9 m l.
PF22 has been specially developed for laboratory applications where extreme flexibility, frequent
product changes and absolute accuracy are key parameter s.
PF22 is programmable for a number of different applications, and full product ion docum entat ion
can be printed, if a printer is connected.
This manual contains all information necessary for the daily operation of the unit and so the PF22
manual should be read before using the f iller.
3.2 Unpacking and inspection
Please check that all ordered items have been received and that no items were damaged during
transport. In case of any defects or omissions, please contact Flexicon A/S or your local supplier
immediately.
When ordering spare parts, or accessories, for t he PF22, please state the serial number. The
serial number is stamped on the label on the rear of t he PF22.
ALWAYS REMEMBER that this machine must be earthed.
PF22
3.3 The peristaltic principle
PF22 operates with a peristaltic dispenser head (tube pump), where the liquid only comes into
contact with the flexible tube, the tube connections and the f illing needle. The tubes ar e usually
made of silicone, but other mater ials can also be used.
The dispenser head is designed in such a way that sterilised tubes can be assembled in the head
without affecting the sterility. Flexicon tubes are made of raw materials medically approved by the
FDA. The tubes are delivered in sealed packages and are provided with a batch number which
makes it possible to trace the tubes all the way back to t he r aw mater ial sour ce.
For this reason PF22 is specially suited for aseptic applications and for pr eventing crosscontamination. The dispenser head is self-priming, and the dispenser head itself can stand to be
run dry. It is recommended not to let the dispenser head be run dry for a long period WITH
CONNECTED TUBES, since this will lead to particle release.
A peristaltic dispenser head is not suitable for viscous products.

4.2 Dispenser head
The dispenser head can work with six different tube dimensions, and the head is eq uipped with a
"quick change" tube br idg e for rapid changeover between the different sizes.
The dispenser head works with two parallel tubes that are squeezed by six rollers mounted on ball
bearings. The rollers in the two sections are offset in order to eliminate pulsing.
