Complete replacement parts for the generator are available, thereby extending the life of this valuable piece of equipment. PRO Scientific believes that as homogenizing requirements increase from hand held units to bench top laboratory units, the interchangeability of generators is a necessity. All of the PRO generators will fit any of the PRO homogenizers.
**CAUTION** DO NOT REMOVE THE MOTOR COLLAR FROM THE MOTOR UNIT. Operating Procedures: 1) The generator may be used with either an open chamber or within a sealed chamber assembly. 2) The ideal situation is when the diameter of the generator is as large as the container will allow. 3) Insert the generator into the medium that is to be homogenized.
Dismantling 7mm, 10mm, 20mm, and 30mm generators The following instructions are for the dismantling of all other generators except 5mm. 1. Unscrew the rotor knife from the bottom of the rotor shaft. Insert the ¼” hex key (supplied in the tool kit) into the end of the rotor shaft collar and insert the screwdriver end into the rotor knife and turn the hex wrench counterclockwise.
Upper SS bearing maintenance check: 1. Replacement of upper stainless steel bearing should be performed by PRO Scientific Service technician or authorized distributor. 2. Contact PRO Scientific service department, at P#203-267-4600, sales@proscientific.com, and request a return authorization for generator.
Tips to maximize your generator's performance. 1. Never run the generator assembly dry. The generator requires a liquid sample/medium to lubricate the bearings during processing. 2. Without the liquid, the bearings can burn out and cause damage to the generator itself. 3.
COULD DAMAGE THE TEETH OF THE GENERATOR.** Operating the Multi-Gen Generator: Once attached to the motor and the adapter, the Multi-Gen generators can be used like any other PRO Scientific generator. **CAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN NOT TO RUN THE GENERATOR DRY, WHICH CAN RESULT IN THE FAILURE OF THE PTFE BEARINGS AND SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE TO THE GENERATOR.
7. Multi-Gen parts can now be placed on a tray and autoclaved as necessary. Assembling MULTI-GEN Generator 1. Insert upper PTFE bearing (bearings are interchangeable) into the upper end of the generator tube-bearing, flange out. 2. Place the lower PTFE bearing into the lower end of the generator tube- bearing flange out. 3.
Sterilizing by humid heat – This means sterilizing with steam at a pressure of 2 bar above and a temperature of 120 o C. i. PRO Generators are heat resistant up to 390° F / 198° C. c. Sterilizing by hot air - Hot air sterilization is normally carried out at 160 to 190 o C. i.
**CAUTION** AT NO POINT SHOULD EXCESSIVE FORCE BE NECESSARY TO CONNECT THE PRO SAFETY SEALED ASSEMBLY TO MOTOR UNIT 4) Once you have turned the PRO Safety Sealed Assembly ¼ turn, release the PRO Safety Sealed Assembly and you will hear a distinct click which is the PRO Safety Sealed Assembly dropping into its locked position.
Page 27
to preventing the operator from being exposed to a rotating blade, the sealed chamber assembly protects the operator from hazardous aerosols generated during homogenizing. Assembly: 1) Screw the rotor shaft assembly into the cover plug. Tighten snugly using the multi-wrench (supplied in the tool kit).
**CAUTION** DO NOT REMOVE THE MOTOR COLLAR FROM THE MOTOR UNIT. **CAUTION** THE HOMOGENIZER SHOULD ONLY BE OPERATED WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE CHAMBER ASSEMBLY RESTING ON THE TABLETOP, THE BOTTOM OF THE COOLING OR HEATING VESSEL OR THE TOP OF A HEIGHT BLOCK. 7) Rotate the appropriate speed control dial until the desired speed is reached.
PRO Carrying Case and Quick Connect Generator Probe Protective Cases: Homogenizing Cases are available to make storing and sharing your homogenizing equipment safe, easy and convenient. The protective egg foam top with sponge foam bottom securely holds equipment in place and sturdy locking hinges keep the case closed during transport and storage. Clear rectangular prism cases are also available to safely store generator probes from 5mmx75mm up to 20mmx200mm.
