2. General information
Before you use the machine for the first time, please read this operating manual
and the safety instructions carefully and follow the information exactly.
Keep this manual safe and within immediate reach.
The machine is to be used only by persons who have read the operating manual and
who are acquainted with the occupational safety and accident prevention regulations in
force in your country.
Those parts of the manual that are important for the correct and safe operation
of the machine are printed in bold type.
Pictograms and symbols used in this manual
The "caution" symbol is used to indicate a situation in which persons
are at risk of suffering physical injury. The warning must be heeded at
all costs.
The "stop" symbol is used to indicate a situation in which the machine
is at risk of being damaged.
The "hazardous electric voltage" symbol is used to indicate live
components that may pose a risk to life and limb.
2.1 Proper use
The Viba 25 is a stationary shaker for closed, tightly closing, round, rectangular and oval
containers made of metal or plastic.
It can be used to mix all types of paints, master batches, house paints, industrial paints
and other low-viscosity materials.
Practical applications are to be found in the wholesale and retail paint trade, in the paint,
lacquer and chemical industries, and many other related sectors. This shaker is
particularly ideal as a component in paint dosing systems.
The VIBA can be used with containers from 40 mm to 400 mm in height with a maximum
footprint of 340 x 370 mm.
Never use the machine in areas where a potentially explosive atmosphere may
arise, either permanently or temporarily.
2.2 Working principle
Material in the clamp-mounted container is mixed by means of linear forces of inertia
generated through an alternating orbital shaking movement.
This mixing principle guarantees that low-viscosity materials are prepared at high speed.
The duration of the mixing cycles can be programmed as required by a service technician
using the control buttons (works setting: 60,120 and 180 seconds).

3. Safety instructions
For your own protection, read the safety instructions carefully and follow them
exactly.
Observe the electrical regulations in force at your company and those listed in this
manual when you install the machine.
Wear safety shoes when installing or relocating the machine.
Make sure the machine stands securely.
Keep your work place tidy. There is a higher risk of accidents at an untidy work place.
Consider ambient conditions. Do not install the machine in damp rooms. Provide good
lighting and good access.
Keep third parties away from your work place.
Close the machine when it is not being used. Projecting parts may injure you and
others.
Take care of the power cable. Make sure it is laid neatly and where it cannot be
damaged. Protect the cable in particular from heat, sharp edges, oil and acid. Check the
cable and plug regularly for signs of damage. Use only suitably approved extension
cables and plugs.
Do not overload the machine. Check that the weight and dimensions of the
mixing container are suitable.
Never lift large and heavy containers into the machine by yourself.
Use only undamaged and sturdy mixing containers. If you don't, the container may burst.
The mixing container has to be closed completely.
Make sure that the mixing container sits in central position on the mixing table.
Secure the container handles with rubber bands or adhesive tape.
Take good care of the machine. Make sure that the moving parts move smoothly and
without restriction. Remove any dirt immediately. Follow the maintenance instructions.
Do not use high-pressure equipment to clean the machine.
Make sure that the safety devices work properly and are clean.
Do not use the machine if the door or the acrylic glass window is damaged. If the
acrylic glass window is broken, do not reach into the interior! There is a high
risk of injury from rotating components.
Do not start the machine with the housing open. Pull out the power plug! There
is a high risk of accidents!
Before switching on the machine after maintenance work, check that no wrenches or
setting tools are left inside the machine compartment.
Examine the machine for signs of damage. Check regularly that all parts are in good
working order. Have repairs carried out only by the manufacturer or an approved
specialist.
