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).
