Loading Swing Out Rotors - Hermle Z 326 Operating Manual

Figure 12:

2.1.3 Loading Swing Out Rotors

Loading of the buckets / vessels must be done in accordance, to Figure 15.
It is allowed to operate e.g. a 4-place-rotor with 2 loaded buckets only. The loaded buckets must be
opposite of each other. Make sure that the unloaded buckets are placed inside the rotor,
(see Figures 14 and 15).
In principle, swing out rotors cannot be removed during operation, until all buckets or racks
are placed inside the rotor.
The bolts of the rotor must be greased with the HERMLE Rotorgrease (Order No. 38-5656).
The sample tubes have to be filled evenly, by eye, and set into the drillings or tube racks. The weight
difference of the loaded buckets should not exceed 1.0 g.
ATTENTION!
Swing Out Rotors can be removed during operation, only if all locations are filled in with either
4 buckets or 4 carriers – do not mix up buckets and carriers!!
Figure 14:
ATTENTION!
Do not operate the centrifuge with rotors or buckets that show any signs of corrosion
or mechanical damage.
Do not operate with extremely corrosive substances, which could damage the rotor
and buckets.
In case of any questions, please contact the manufacturer!
