Correct use
ōUse
When used in combination with one of our recommended dispersing
elements, the drive unit is a high-speed dispersing and emulsifying
unit capable of handling free-flowing and liquid media in batches.
- Production of: Emulsions
Dispersions
Wet crushing
- Operating modes: Manual mode
On stand
ōRange of use (indoor use only)
- Laboratories - Schools
- Pharmacies
- Universities
This instrument is suitable for use in all areas except:
- Residential areas
-
Areas that are connected directly to a low-voltage supply network
that also supplies residential areas.
The safety of the user cannot be guaranteed:
- If the instrument is operated with accessories that are not supplied
or recommended by the manufacturer
- If the instrument is operated improperly or contrary to the manu-
facture’s specifications
- If the instrument or the printed circuit board are modified by the
third parties.

The instrument starts up again following a cut in the power sup-
ply. Please note that the instrument must be switched off at the
ON/OFF switch in this case before the power supply is recon-
nected.

The gasket and bearings are made of PTFE and rustproof steel; the
following points should therefore be noted: Chemical reactions of
PTFE occur in contact with molten or solute alkali metals and alka-
line earth metals, as well as with fine powders of metals in groups
2 and 3 of the periodic system at temperatures above 300 °C - 400
°C. Only elementary fluorine, chlorotrifluoride and alkali metals at-
tack it; halogenated hydrocarbons have a reversible swelling effect.

Useful information
Dispersion refers to the dissipation and scattering of a solid, liquid or
gaseous phase in a liquid which cannot be fully mixed with this phase.
The rotor/stator principle:
Due to the high rotation speed of the rotor, the medium to be pro-
cessed is automatically drawn axially into the dispersing head and
then forced radially through the slots in the rotor/stator arrangement.
The high accelerations acting on the material produce extremely
strong shear and thrust forces. In addition, high turbulence occurs
in the shear gap between rotor and stator, which provides optimum
mixing of the suspension.
The dispersion effectiveness is heavily dependent on the product of
the shear gradient and the time the particles spend in the shear zone.
The optimum range for the circumferential velocity of the rotor/stator
arrangement is 6-20 m/s.
A processing time of a few minutes is usually sucient to produce
the desired fineness. Long processing times bring only insignificant
improvements in the obtainable fineness; the energy expended serves
merely to increase the temperature of the medium.
Assembly of clamp and stand
Assembly (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2)
ō
Push the clamp (6) as shown in Fig. 1 over the dispersion
in-
strument, until it engages in the position planned for it audibly.

For safe working the drive units should be fastened by means of
a cross sleeve to the plate stand. Pay attention when assembling
the dispersion instrument to the stand to a perfect and firm seat
of the cross sleeve.
In order to increase the stability of the mechanical structure, the drive
unit must be installed as closely as possible to the stand support rod.

Working with the unit
Check that the voltage listed on the designation plate matches the
mains voltage. Also pay attention to the ambient conditions listed
in the technical data.
Assembly of the dispersing tool (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 3)
- Open the shaft lock (3) by turning to the left as far as the stop.
- Insert the dispersing element into the collet as far as the stop.
-
Lock the shaft lock (3) by turning it to the right until it noticeably
clicks into place. The marks (A) on the shaft lock (3) and mark (B)
on the casing should be over each other when closed.
The distance between the dispersion tool and the vessel bottom
should not be less than 10 mm.
Please observe also the operating instructions of the dispersion
tool to ensure a safe usage.
The entire unit may also be arranged somewhat off centre in order
to avoid any undesired air admission caused by the strong rota-
tional turbulence.
Set the adjusting wheel (1) to the minimum speed before switch-
ing on the instrument. You can read the set speed by comparing
the numbers on the adjusting wheel (1) and the speed table (see
chapter: Speed Table).
By using the adjusting wheel (1) the speed may be infinitely adjusted
to meet the requirements of the medium to be processed. The no-
load speed of the T 10 basic ULTRA-TURRAX
®
driving unit may
be set between 8.000 and 30.000 rpm.
Error correction
The instrument is appropriate for short-time duty (10 minutes
ON/5 minutes OFF), i.e. the OFF time must be noted. Failure to
observe the ON/OFF time, the instrument can switch off depend-
ing upon load by temperature rise during the dispersing, since the
drive is equipped with an overload safety device, which switches
the instrument off with overload or temperature rise. If the instru-
ment switched off at the ON/OFF switch, after an appropriate
cooling time the equipment can be restartet.
Note: The instrument does not restart it after responding the
overload safety device automatically, must for cooling at the rocker
switch (2) be switched off.
Maintenance and cleaning
Maintenance and Cleaning
Drive unit:
The drive unit is maintenance-free but not immune from wear. The
carbon brushes of the motor wear down over the time.
For cleaning disconnect the main plug.
Only use cleansing agents which have been recommended by IKA
®
.
Disassembly (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2)
ōFor the disassembly of the dispersion instrument from the clamp (6),
turn handle (5) firstly to loosen the clamp.
ō
Hold the dispersion instrument with a hand, with the other hand
to pressure on the locking lever (Fig. 2). Now, the dispersing in-
strument could be disassemble from the clamp.
The unit is ready for service when the mains
plug has been plugged in.
The driving unit is switched on by pressing the rocker switch (2)
in "I" position.

Spare parts order
When ordering spare parts, please give:
- machine type
- manufacturing number, see type plate
- item and designation of the spare part, see www.ika.com,

Repair
In case of repair the device has to be cleaned and free from
any materials which may constitute a health hazard.
For repair, please fill up the “Decontamination Clearance Certificate”
form supplied with instrument or printed copy on the IKA® website:
www.ika.com.
Note to the flat key and shaft key
