Page #: 6 of 20 Document #: 5100000 Revision: C Electrical Schematic, 230 VAC: 2. INTRODUCTION ® The WandMixer System is a revolutionary mixer that provides efficient mixing utilizing a ® patented rotational wand technology in a sterile closed bag. The WandMixer System is able to mix in sterile disposable hermetically sealed bags ranging in volume from 5L to 50L.
Revision: C 3. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION ® Pall rotational wand mixing technology provides non-invasive mixing inside sterile plastic bags. It is based on rotating of the curved rod pre-introduced in the sleeve of the mixing bag. The rod is separated from the processed sterile fluid by sleeve which is hermetically sealed on one end.
