Components to be Melt

Components, that have been weigh out to fuse, may be placed inside a jar, douse with heated
aqueous or oily phases of the formulation components (< 85 °C / 185 °F) to melt the content in
full.
In case this process does not sufficiently melt all the components, the formulation inside the
jar might be heated in a warm water bath (< 85°C / 185 °F) or carefully observed in a microwave
oven. In order to avoid overpressure in the jar remove the white cap of the jar lid.
Formulations, without water containing components, may be melted directly inside the jar by
placing the jar in a warm water bath.
Please be aware that stirrers must not go into the microwave oven! Furthermore, due to irre-
gular mixing of oily and water phases, reaching the melting point might happen with a delay,
since only aqueous phases will be heated by microwaves.
Please consider also the operation manual of the used microwave oven! An excessive tempera-
ture rise for both, jar and its content, must be avoided all the time!
The cooling time and the cooling interval can be decreased by using a refrigerator or a cooling
cuff. The stirrer should remain in the jar during the cooling phase.

Thermolabile substances

Active substances or components with thermolabile characteristics should be processed with
caution. To protect the substances, we recommend a maximum speed of 1200 rpm (level 4). To
control the frictional heat, a cooling cuff can be used or a cool down interval in a refrigerator
if required.

After the Mixing Process is Complete

After finishing the mixing process the mixing unit will be released and can be removed from the
lift arm. Unscrew the jar from the lift arm, this will only require a quarter turn clockwise.
In the next step, the jar lid should be opened and the stirrer removed. Since this is also an
opportunity, execute an organoleptic quality check, the jar lid should also be opened after
mixing when using the Disp. Blade.
Practice has proven that if the surface of the compound looks smooth and consistent, complying
with the minimum defined mixing time, homogeneity inside the jar also can be expected for the
entire product.
Afterwards slide the stirrer out of the jar lid. The ointment on the stirrer can be cleaned off into
the jar by using a spatula. When using the Disp. Blade, the stirrer can be removed from the jar
and disposed, or left inside the jar.
