for
LARGE CAPACITY MIXER
Model: 099A LC1024CE, 1.5 amps, 240 volts, 50/60 Hz.

2 04/29/14
Introduction
The Large Capacity Mixer is designed to mix the contents of multiple tubes and well as
individual tubes, flasks, bottles, and a variety of vessels. Place the mixer on a sturdy
bench that is clean and dust free. There are also holes on each end of the chassis for
permanently mounting the mixer. Be sure the vibration absorbing feet are resting flat and
not bent, or distorted when placing on the bench.
NOTE: Due to the knobs being damaged in shipping please screw in the knobs. The
knobs should always align to the back of the vortexer; perpendicular to the flats to
the supports.
Operation: Front Panel Features
1. SPEED POSITION KNOB: This allows adjustable speed of the vortexer drive
plate from 0 to 1,500 rpm.
2. POWER SWITCH: On/Off.
3. PULSAR SWITCH: On/Off.
4. FREQUENCY KNOB: When turned on, this turns off the motor for a brief
moment and then back on. The rate of On-Off is adjustable by turning the
knob. An increase in the clockwise direction increases the number of On-Off
cycles. Pulse rate varies from 80 to 100 pulses per minute.

Pulsing Feature:
The pulser knob can adjust the mixing action of a liquid and periodically interrupt it.
This provides an upper and lower mix as well as vortexing.
Increasing the speed may tend to throw a few drops out of the tube if they are not capped.
Tube volume should not exceed one half of the overall tube height.
The motor Speed Control Knob may be left at any setting. Larger diameter tubes, bottles,
or flask require a slower speed than test tubes. Start the vortexing for these a minimum
speed and increase until mixing occurs.
Prior approval must be obtained from Glas-Col before any products can be returned. Call
