Dear Customer!
The VACURET DIGIT vacuum mixer is perfectly suited for homogeneous and bubble-free
mixing of plaster, polymers or resins. It is equipped with an intuitive and user-friendly digital
display. Pre- and main mixing times can be programmed individually at variable speeds
according to the material requirements. The VACURET DIGIT allows mixing parameters to
be entered and stored in 28 programs. Variable vacuum is generated by a maintenance-free
vacuum pump. Speed is independent of material quantity to be mixed. The device is
available as wall-mount unit or optionally with a table top stand.
Any other use or beyond shall be deemed not to be intended. The user or operator of the
device is liable for the resulting damages.
Prior to installation of the device operating instructions and especially the safety instructions
must be read and followed by all personnel who use this device.
After having unpacked the device, please check carefully whether transportation damages of
any kind have occurred. If that is the case, the carrier or manufacturer must be notified within
3 days. The company will not be responsible for any damages found after that.
These operating instructions must be read and followed by all personnel who use this device.
To ensure quick access we recommend to keep it at a safe place near the device. In case of
loss it can be ordered from the manufacturer.
