2. General information
The Viba is a stationary shaker for closed, tightly closing, round, rectangular and oval
containers made of metal or plastic. It can be used to mix paints, master batches,
house paints, industrial paints and plasters as well as 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 container is automatically clamped in the machine and is mixed, using an
alternating orbital shaking movement, by means of linear forces of inertia. The
required mixing time and the suitability of the container are to be determined
before attempting to use the shaker.
This manual is intended for persons who operate the machine.
