Loading Angle Rotors; Loading Swing Out Rotors - Hermle Z 206 A Operating Manual

2.1.2 Loading Angle Rotors

It is recommended to operate, e.g. a 12-place-rotor, with 2, 4 or 8 loaded tubes only.
But the loaded borings must be opposite of each other, (see Figure 8).
Figure 7 :WRONG
Rotors must be loaded symmetrically and with equal weight, (see Figures 7 and 8). The adapter may
only be loaded with the appropriate vessels. The weight differences between the filled vessels
should be kept as low as possible. Therefore, we recommend to weigh with a balance. This reduces
the wear of drive and the acoustic operating noise.

2.1.3 Loading Swing Out Rotors

Loading of the buckets / vessels must be in accordance to, Figure 10
It is recommended to operate, e.g. a 6-place swing out rotor, with 4 loaded buckets only. But, the
loaded buckets must be opposite of each other. Make sure that the unloaded buckets are placed
inside the rotor.
In principle, swing out rotors should not be used in operation, until all buckets or racks are
placed inside the rotor.
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!!
