Intended use

///

Use

The MultiDrive basic device is a batch mill / mixer that can be operated with different vessels�

With this device and different vessels, a variety of grinding (impact grinding, cutting grinding)

and mixing tasks can be performed in the laboratory�

›

Milling:

Impact milling: For use with hard, brittle material, dried material or material that is brittle

because of cold (for example grain, coffee, etc�)� The granularity of the ﬁnal product is de-

termined by the duration of the grinding, the level to which the container is ﬁlled and the

physical property of the material being processed�

Cutting milling: For use with soft, ﬁbrous grinding material (for example hay, paper, etc�)�

In this case as well, the granularity of the ﬁnal product is determined by the duration of the

grinding, the level to which the container is ﬁlled and the physical property of the material being

processed�

› Blending:

For mixing and emulsifying food (for example ice cream, milk, and sauces) and other

substances� It can be widely used in microbiology and food science field�

Intended use: Tabletop device

Caution!

› Please pay attention to avoiding hand injury when operate the device�

› The vessel may be very hot after operation� Allow it to cool down before remove it from the

drive� Use your personal protective equipment�

› Hearing protection must be worn when working with the device in high speed�

!Notice!

› The device must be operated on ﬂat surface and must not be moved during operation�

› Covers or parts that can be removed from the device without tools must later be reﬁtted to

ensure safe operation� This will prevent the inﬁltration of foreign objects, liquids and other

contaminants�

› The vessel must always be closed during operation� Switch off the device immediately if any

material leaks from the vessel� Clean the device after disconnected power plug�

› The feet of the device must be clean and undamaged�

›

The device is designed for short term operation� The maximum operating time is 5 minutes�

After that, it should be switched off for 10 minutes to cool down�

›

As long as the set speed is not reached, the speed value ﬂashes�

///

Useful information

The device can be used in a wide range of applications

in conjunction with different vessels

�

/// Milling

In conjunction with milling vessel, the device can be used as a batch mill�

The list of grinding materials given below is not complete� It is possible to expand the range of

applications further by means of grinding experiments with corresponding grinding procedures

and sample preparations, e�g� with cooling�

Impact milling:

The milling vessel with a beater reduces soft, medium hard and brittle materials�

Everything that breaks, is dry, and does not have a high fat content can be ground�

Following is a list of substances that can be ground dry:

Wheat, barley, corn, malt, pectin, roasted coffee, nutshells, bones, ergot, peat, pharmaceutical,

feed materials, spices, resin, potash, seeds, salts, cinders, tablets�

Tough grinding material must be cooled, for example by adding pulverized dry ice to the grinding pot�

Also note the operating instructions for the IKA MultiDrive MI 250 and IKA MultiDrive MI 400

milling vessel�

Cutting milling:

The milling vessel with the cutting blade reduces bulky, elastic ﬁbrous and soft materials with

high cellulose content�

Mixed goods such as trash must be free of iron and non-iron metals� The feed material must not

be too moist or fatty�

Otherwise the material may adhere to the sides of the grinding container�

Following is a list of some materials that can be reduced:

Leaves, ﬁbers, hops, cardboard, paper, hay, plastics, tobacco and roots�

Also note the operating instructions for the IKA MultiDrive MI 250 and IKA MultiDrive MI 400

milling vessel�

Note: Materials that are not listed in these operating instructions may only be handled with the

grinding vessel after conﬁrmed with IKA, especially if there is a risk of explosion (dust explosion

due to electrostatic charge)�

Working with cooling water:

Also note the operating instructions for the IKA MultiDrive MI 250 and IKA MultiDrive MI 400

milling vessel�

Working with coolants – Dry ice cooling (CO):

Also note the operating instructions for the IKA MultiDrive MI 250 and IKA MultiDrive MI 400

milling vessel�

/// Blending

In combination with the IKA MultiDrive BL 2000 blending vessel, the device can be used as

a blender�

The blender can be used for many applications� The following list is not complete and can be

extended by experiments�

List of substances to be blended:

Ice cream, milk, sauces, vegetables, meat, nut butter, spices�

!Notice!

The device is designed for short term operation� The maximum operating time is 5 minutes�

After that, it should be switched off for 10 minutes to cool down�

As long as the set speed is not reached, the speed value ﬂashes�

Connected devices and their properties are automatically recognized�

Use the USB interface in conjunction with labworldsoft®for operation in “Remote” mode and

also to update the ﬁrmware�

/// USB device drivers:

First, download the latest driver for IKA devices with USB interface from:

www.ika.com/ika/lws/download/usb-driver.zip.

Install the driver by running the setup ﬁle� Connect the IKA device through the USB data cable to

the PC� The data communication runs through a virtual COM port�

/// Command syntax and format:

The following applies to the command set:

› Commands are generally sent from the computer (Master) to the lab device (Slave)�

› The lab device only sends at the computer’s request� Even fault indications cannot be sent spon-

taneously from the lab device to the computer (automation system)�

› Commands are transmitted in capital letters�

› Commands and parameters including successive parameters are separated by at least one

space (Code: hex 0x20)�

› Each individual command (incl� parameters and data) and each response are terminated with

Blank CR LF (Code: hex 0x0d hex 0x0A) and have a maximum length of 80 characters�

› The decimal separator in a number is a dot (Code: hex 0x2E)�

24 25

The above details correspond as far as possible to the recommendations of the NAMUR working

party (NAMUR recommendations for the design of electrical plug connections for analogue and

digital signal transmission on individual items of laboratory control equipment, rev� 1�1)�

The NAMUR commands and the additional speciﬁc IKA commands serve only as low level com-

mands for communication between the device and the PC� With a suitable terminal or commu-

nications program these commands can be transmitted directly to the device� The IKA software

labworldsoft®, provides a convenient tool for controlling the device and collecting data under

MS Windows, and includes graphical entry features, for motor speed ramps for example�
