LabRAM II Operations Manual
Introduction
Resodyn Acoustic Mixers 1 Revision 063020
1 Introduction
The LabRAM II is an advanced, low-frequency, acoustic mixer. It is the second generation of
ResonantAcoustic®Mixers LabRAM, an innovative approach to multiple mixing applications.
These applications include powder-powder systems, liquids, creams, highly viscous gels and
pastes, as well as sieving and grinding (with the proper vessels and attachments).
RAM mixing provides:
•Exceptionally uniform mixing across a broad range of materials.
•Significantly shorter mixing times than traditional methods.
•Completely sealed, dust-free mixing process resulting in enhanced operator safety.
•Highly repeatable results from mix-to-mix, ensuring batch-to-batch product quality.
ResonantAcoustic®Mixing (RAM) and Acceleration
The primary driving mechanism that creates mixing by the ResonantAcoustic®Mixing (RAM)
technology is Acceleration (rate of change of velocity). The unit of measure of acceleration in
the International System of Units (SI) is meters per second squared, or m/s2. A more familiar
way to describe this phenomenon is the acceleration of gravity here on earth, or g. One gis the
acceleration of gravity at the Earth's surface and uses the standard gravity symbol: gn, defined
as ~9.81 meters per second squared.
Acceleration is the driving mechanism for acoustic mixing, stated in units of the acceleration of
standard gravity - or g- as outlined above. For example, a heavily loaded mixture of solids with
a viscous liquid may be best mixed at an Acceleration of 80 g, or 80 times the force of gravity.
The correct level of Acceleration, or gcreates micro-mixing zones that liquids and viscous
materials require, and creates the chaotic collision phenomenon that effectively mixes solids
and powders. The process of determining an optimal Acceleration, or gto obtain the best
mixing is an iterative one, arrived at through observation, optimization, and product quality
testing. Resodyn Acoustic Mixers process engineers and technical sales staff are always
available to provide assistance in this process.
Furthermore, Acceleration or gis measured the same way across all RAM technology
platforms. So, 50 gon the LabRAM mixer is equivalent to 50 gon the RAM 5 or RAM 55 mixers.
It is also important to note that, while mechanical devices typically rely on increasing the power
to improve mixing, better mixing with RAM technology is not necessarily the result of more
power. Instead, the quality of mixing is the result of the right combination of energy applied to
the materials - in the form of Acceleration or g- for an adequate amount of time. Therefore,
some materials may be best mixed at a lower level of Acceleration.

LabRAM II Operations Manual
Definitions
Resodyn Acoustic Mixers 2 Revision 063020
2 Definitions
Acceleration: A change in velocity with respect to time that is expressed in “g.” Different mix
media mixes at different accelerations, based on the material and the
expected results. (See “g” below.)
Damping: A term to quantify the instantaneous amount of energy absorbed by the mix
media while mixing.
g: A measure of acceleration expressed as a multiple of the gravitational
acceleration applied to the vessel and mix media during mixing. For example,
10 gis 10 times the force of gravity. It may also be shown as g. Another term
that may be used to describe the acceleration is “gravities.” (See
“Acceleration” above.)
HMI: Human Machine Interface. The control and input system screen used to
operate the LabRAM.
Headspace: The volume of compressible air, gas, or void space above the mixing media
in the vessel that is not occupied.
Mixing Media: Defined as the material inside the mixing vessel.
Mixing Power: The amount of power being delivered by the RAM system to perform mixing.
Mixing Regime: This term identifies certain modes of mixing. The mixing regime defines the
bulk flow pattern of the mix during mixing. A regime changes when the bulk
patterns change. For example, a stable fluid mixing regime for thick pastes
would be one that flows from the bottom of the vessel up the center and then
across the top and down the sides. Another mixing regime is when the flow
pattern is reversed and the flow comes up the vessel sides and down the
center of the vessel.
RAM: ResonantAcoustic®Mixing or ResonantAcoustic®Mixer.
RAMWare: Control software that runs on a Personal Computer (PC) and provides control
to, and feedback from, the mixing process. (Also RAMware2.)
Resonance: The frequency (nominally 60 Hz) at which the RAM mechanical system
operates in the most efficient manner.
Vacuum: Internal vessel pressure that is less than atmospheric pressure.

4.4 Standard Vessel Fixture and Vessels
The standard and supplied Vessel Holder, or hold-down fixture, for the LabRAM II is 5” in
diameter and accommodates vessels between the heights of 2.5” and 5.125.” Components and
function of the Vessel Holder are described in detail below.
For vessels shorter than 2.5”, spacers must be acquired from Resodyn Acoustic Mixers. Some
applications also require specialized, custom hold-down fixtures. Resodyn can accommodate
virtually any vessel shape that a given mixing application requires. Please contact Resodyn
Acoustic Mixers to learn more at [phone] or [e-mail].
The Hold-Down Knob turns a threaded shaft that is connected to the Upper Base. Turning the
Hold-Down Knob clockwise lowers the Upper Base, while turning it counterclockwise raises the
Upper Base. The Upper Base holds the Mixing Vessel securely in place when tightened against
it with the Hold Down Knob, and locked with the Jam Nut.
The Bottom Rubber Dot provides support to the center-bottom of the Mixing Vessel and helps
prevent horizontal movement while processing. Do not operate the LabRAM II without the
Bottom Rubber Dot!
The Jam Nut is critical for locking the vessel in place. When secured against the top of the
Upper Base, the Jam Nut prevents the Hold-Down Knob from loosening during operation. The
Jam Nut must be tightened after the Vessel is secured in place using the Hold-Down Knob.
If the Mixing Vessel is not secure in the Vessel Holder during operation, damage may occur to
the mixer, vessel, and the mixing material. Significant mixing ingredient spillage may also occur.
If you require vessel spacers, or a custom Vessel Holder please contact your Resodyn Acoustic
Mixers sales representative at [phone] or [email protected].

6.1 Unpacking, Lifting, and Placing LabRAM II
Upon receipt of the LabRAM II, do not unpack or remove any packaging materials until
positioned as close to the installation location as possible. When in position, remove all
wrapping and strapping, and shipping paperwork for your records.
Retain all packaging material for at least 1 year, in case machine transport or warranty service
is necessary. Original packaging is required for service shipment during the warranty period and
is highly recommended for any shipment performed during the life of the product.
•Open the top of the box and remove any packing materials, bubble wrap or other items.
When all packaging material is removed, slide the packaging box/sleeve up and over the
LabRAM II. The LabRAM II should be the only remaining item, resting on cushioning
bags in a corrugated tray on the shipping pallet.
•Make sure to remove any loose packaging material from the area before attempting to
move or install the LabRAM II
•With a minimum of four people lifting at all four sides, and using appropriate lifting
practices, the LabRAM II can be lifted straight up and carried to its installation location.
See Section 3.7 on page 6.
•When placing the LabRAM II at its location, allow enough room around the machine to
complete the installation, route wires, and allow for working space, etc.
•After installing the Vessel Holder (Section 6.5 Vessel Holder Assembly) and making all
necessary connections to any accessories such as vacuum systems, re-locate the
LabRAM II to its final position.
6.2 Mounting
The LabRAM II should be installed on a stable, rigid surface that is rated to support the mixer’s
weight. If other equipment or materials are to be placed or used on the same surface, a higher
weight rating should be used as appropriate.
ResonantAcoustic®Mixing (RAM) technology imparts near-zero forces to the surface on which it
is mounted. Careful placement of the mixer, and leveling of the surface by a qualified technician,
is recommended, as is periodic inspection of the positioning and condition of the surface.
Surrounding instruments and accessories should be considered in an overall placement plan.
