7.2.5 Notices on Loading the Table

03 May 2018
Observe the following notices when loading the table:
Place the cultivation flasks symmetrically in the middle of the

table.
If any of the vessels protrude over the edge of the table, they

could collide with the interior wall, resulting in the equipment
being damaged or vessels breaking. Therefore, always posi-
tion cultivation vessels on the table so that they do not pro-
trude.
If the table is only loaded lightly and is going to be run at high

rotation speeds, place additional cultivation vessels filled with
water on the tray. This will make the equipment run more
smoothly. At shaker speeds of approx. 200 – 250 min
pending on the position of stacked equipment units), the load
distribution plays only a minor role.
Optimum load weights
The optimum load falls into the range of 5 – 9 kg (mass incl. tray,
clamps, flasks and filling). This load ensures that the equipment is
ideally balanced. Both higher and lower loads cause an imbalance,
which results in strong vibrations at higher rotation speeds and can
lead to flasks breaking. When the load on the tray is too light, the
tray must thus be weighed down using flasks filled with water or
weights until the optimum mass of approx. 5 – 9 kg is reached. If
the load is too high, reduce the speed, remove vessels or reduce
the fill volume.
INFORMATION
If load weights that are too high or too low are constantly se-
lected, this can lead to increased wear on the equipment. How-
ever, short-term deviations in load weights, be they higher or
lower, do not lead to increased wear.
