3. INTRODUCTION & PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Magnetic Mixer disposable bag mixing system is based on a single-use mixing bag
containing a bottom mounted disposable magnetic impeller on a disposable bearing. The single-
use magnetic impeller includes a proprietary bearing assembly designed and composed to
control particulate generation. All the materials of the impeller/bearing assembly contacting the
fluid are non-metallic USP Class VI and ADCF. The Magnetic Mixer disposable mixing system
consists of an interchangeable magnetic drive unit and proprietary magnetic impeller based
mixing bags fitted into retaining tanks on either a universal portable dolly (30L –500L) or a floor
mounted tank support (500L –2,000L). The magnetic Drive Motor is coupled with the mixing
bag through a proprietary interface. The activation of the motor induces rotation of the in-bag
impeller (0-300 RPM) resulting in the mixing action inside a hermetically sealed bag. The
coupling of the in-bag impeller with the Drive Motor is accomplished by magnetic forces only,
therefore no dynamic seals or shaft penetration inside the bag is required. The Drive Motor is
mounted on a portable cart that can be easily disconnected from the bag and reconnected to
another mixing bag thereby allowing mixing in multiple bags of various sizes with a single Drive
Motor.
The system hardware has 4 major components:
1. Drive motor with control box and rotational speed display
2. Stainless Steel Dolly/platform for supporting the tank and interfacing with the drive
3. Plastic/Steel retaining tank for use on a dolly/stand
4. Accessory kit for interfacing the drive with the tank and bag
The Magnetic Mixer reusable system can accommodate a variety of standard and custom-
designed disposable bags and tanks available from Pall®Lifesciences with a capacity range
from 30L to 2000L.

MAGNETIC MIXER SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Figure 1: Main components of the Magnetic Mixer disposable mixing system (shown with 500L tank).

Document #: 4100022 Revision: F Page #: 9 of 21
5. MAGNETIC MIXER SYSTEM ACCESSORIES
6.1 Interface with O-ring: The Interface provides mechanical interfacing of the drive unit with
the impeller inside the bag.
Figure 2: Top: Drive-bag interface and O-ring.
Bottom: Interface is installed in the railed port of the dolly (locked by the O-ring).

Document #: 4100022 Revision: F Page #: 10 of 21
6.2 Centering Aligner and Magnetic Clamp: The Centering Aligner maintains centered
position of the impeller with respect to the interface. The Magnetic clamp provides holding
function for the bag in the tank before the fluid is put inside the bag. After the fluid is filled
to at least a level of 3”, the magnetic clamp can be removed as the hydrostatic pressure
from fluid will hold the bag in place.
Figure 3: Magnetic clamp (left) and Centering Aligner (right)
Figure 4: Assembly Magnetic clamp is assembled with the centering aligner prior to attachment to the bag

Document #: 4100022 Revision: F Page #: 11 of 21
6. DOLLY - TANK ASSEMBLY
Note: Certain larger tanks (>350L) are constructed in two parts.
7.1. The Dolly has a pre-cut hole over the drive port. Insert the Interface into this hole
from below and apply the O-ring as shown (see Figure 2)to secure. It is not
necessary to remove or replace the Interface after mixing or between batches.
7.2 Position the plastic tank on the dolly. The bottom surface of the tank has two pre-
cut holes: a small hole for the bag drain and a larger hole for the drive head. Line
up the larger hole with the hole in the dolly over the drive port. The larger whole
should fit loosely around the Interface.

Document #: 4100022 Revision: F Page #: 12 of 21
7. BAG - INTERFACE ASSEMBLY
Figure 5: Assembly of dry bag with interface
8.1 Carefully open the EXTERNAL packaging of the mixing bag. A blue protective shell is
magnetically attached to the outside of the bag over the locator. This shell must be
removed from the bag before assembling the interface.
8.2 Assemble the centering aligner and magnetic clamp as shown in Figure 5.

Document #: 4100022 Revision: F Page #: 13 of 21
8. INSERTING PLASTIC BAG INTO TANK
Figure 6: Bag-Tank Assembly
9.1 Place the bag in the plastic tank by aligning magnetic clamp with the large pre-cut port
on the bottom surface of the tank and pull the bottom drain tube through the smaller
port.
9.2 Insert the magnetic clamp in the appropriate pre-cut port.
9.3 Before filling the bag, ensure that all tubes are clamped, with the exception of the filling
tube. Ensure that the bottom drain tube is clamped.
9.4 As bag starts to fill, gently pull the bottom surface of the bag to remove any wrinkles,
especially near the impeller.
DO NOT exceed recommended bag capacity
DO NOT alter the tube and/or impeller configuration of bags

Document #: 4100022 Revision: F Page #: 14 of 21
9.COUPLING THE BAG WITH THE DRIVE UNIT
Figure 7: Coupling of magnetic mixer drive with the bag can be accomplished only when the bag is filled with fluid
(No coupling should be attempted with an empty or dry bag! The impeller will damage the bag.)
10.1 Remove Magnetic Clamp from the bag-tank assembly before coupling. To remove the
magnetic clamp, reach underneath the drive port and carefully pull the magnetic clamp
until it is free from the bag-tank assembly. Return the magnetic clamp to the supplied
Accessories Box for future use.
10.2 Shift the latch toward the control box slightly, (as shown in the first segment of Figure 7).
10.3 Carefully press down on the drive handle and raise the front wheels off the ground (as
shown on the second segment of Figure 7)
10.4 Align the guide bearings with the guide rails on the drive port.
10.5 Roll the drive unit along the rails all the way until the bearings are caught in the well
located at the dead end of the rails.

Document #: 4100022 Revision: F Page #: 15 of 21
10.6 Using the drive unit handle, raise the superconductive drive unit to an upright position.
While holding the drive unit in this position shift the latch toward the dolly/tank so that the
cross bar rests on the grooves in the guide rails (as shown in the forth segment of
Figure 7).
DO NOT put fingers under Locking Lever when locking the Drive Unit onto the Dolly
DO NOT attempt to move the Dolly with the Drive Unit Handle while the system is
assembled (doing so might damage the drive unit). Always use the dolly push handle to
move the Dolly or Dolly/Drive Unit assembly.

switch to the STOP position. (Ensure that electrical power remains connected to the
machine when mixing multiple bags consecutively.)
12.2 Firmly hold the drive unit handle and raise the drive unit slightly to release the locking
lever. Release the locking lever by pulling it toward the control box.
12.3 Carefully lower the rear wheels of the drive unit to the floor and roll the drive unit on
its rear wheels away from the dolly.
12.4 Press down on the drive unit handle just until the guide bearings are free from the
guide rails.
12.5 Pull the drive unit slightly farther away from the dolly and carefully lower the front
wheel to the ground.
12.6 The tank can now be wheeled to another station on the elevated dolly. The
Superconducting Drive Unit remains ready for mixing.
12.7 To drain fluid from the bag, unclamp the bottom drain tube.
12.8 When the bag is completely drained, remove the bag by carefully pulling the impeller
seat and the drain tube out of their respective ports.
12.9 Remove the centering aligner from the tank and return to the supplied Accessories

12. EZD OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: EZD Clip (4100153) must be installed on the bag before
operating EZD valve or bag can be damaged
EZD stands for Easy Drain meaning a drain that allows easy transfer of fluid to and from the
container. The typical applications include draining a container or filling a container with liquid.
EZD operation involves relative movement of EZD Male port with respect to EZD Universal
Fitment. The Universal Female fitment always remains stationary and it is only the relative
vertical movement of EZD Male port that allows fluid transfer through the port. The EZD is
closed to fluid transfer when the top surface of the EZD male port is flush with the top surface of
EZD universal fitment. When the EZD male port is pushed into the EZD universal fitment, it is
open for fluid transfer. The Collar is used to lock the EZD valve in the preferred position (either
open or closed) by rolling it over the fingers of the EZD universal fitment. When the collar is over
the EZD universal fitment fingers, it prevents movement of the EZD valve and when it is rolled
away from the finger region of the universal fitment, it allows the EZD valve to move from a
closed to open or open to closed position.
A necessary step to use EZD is that, an EZD CLIP be installed on the EZD universal
fitment prior to start using it. The EZD CLIP should be mounted on universal fitment as
shown in the image below.
