Always check that the oil level is above the “Min” indication on the lubrication unit. The exhaust air from Vibro-Lab35P is connected by 8 mm OD tubing from the return 8 mm push in port on the back of the steel base to the top of the Air Handling Unit acting as a silencer / exhaust air oil filter.
The Vibro-Lab35P assembly is a manually operated benchtop filtration system for MF and UF filtration. The user should read and understand this manual before use. The Vibro-Lab35P is intended for use in a laboratory setting or in an industrial, research or teaching facility.
Pneumatic system The Pneumatic Vibro-Lab35P Drive and the tubing and fittings between it and the regulator on the Air Handling Unit are a separate pressurized system. The Regulator is supplied with external compressed air at maximum 10 bar. The Regulator is used to regulate the pressure to the Pneumatic Vibro-Lab35P Drive (which should be set to 3.5 bar(g) at normal operation).
3.9. Accessories and spare parts The Vibro-Lab35P can only be used together with a feed system that provides a maximum pressure of 3 bar(g). If the system is capable of providing more than 3 bar(g) a CE approved safety relief valve set to maximum 3 bar(g) must be used. The feed system could be the standard feed pump from SANI Membranes.
4. Assembly 4.1. Assembly of Drive Connect the outlet from the air lubrication unit (1) to the Air Inlet (2) on the Vibro-Lab35P using a suitable length of the 6 mm tubing. Connect the Air Outlet (3) on the Vibro-Lab35P back to the Air Handling Unit exhaust filter (4) using the 8 mm tubing.
4.2. Mounting of Lab35 Cartridge Mounting the Lab35 Cartridge on a Vibro-Lab35P is a simple operation. The Lab35 Cartridge is secured with two M5 x 16 finger screws running through the support console and into the cavity of the hex bolts in the bottom of the Lab35 Cartridge. Tighten the finger screws to keep the cartridge stable and secure during operation.
User Manual 5. Operation 5.1. Vibro-Lab35P Pneumatic Drive, Use and Maintenance Oil change. Before running the Vibro-Lab35P, the air lubricator needs to be filled with oil. Pull down the blue While holding the Fill in the oil supplied by SANI Push the oil-chamber lever.

Change Air Filter The Air Handling unit comes with an internal air filter, that removes the used oil from the exhaust gas from the Vibro-Lab35P. This filter will retain the lubrication oil and needs to be changed regularly for reliable performance. It is recommended to replace the filter for every two bottles of oil used by the system.
SANI Membranes laboratory pump. Start the Vibro-Lab35P Drive (4) as soon as the Lab35 Cartridge is filled with feed solution. Adjust the speed of the Peristaltic Feed Pump (2) until the desired permeate flow rate is reached, or the desired pressure is reached.
Tip: The recommended retentate flow rate is 4-8 L/h per Lab35 module which corresponds to around 80-90 RPM on the standard SANI Membranes laboratory pump. Start the Vibro-Lab35P Drive (4) as soon as the Lab35 Cartridge is filled with feed solution. Adjust the Retentate valve (5) until the desired retentate pressure (6) is reached.
Applying too high permeate flow rates can easily result in severely fouled areas in the Vibro-Lab35P. Limit the permeate flow rate by using the two-pump setup and study the process at increasing permeate flow rates for selecting optimal operating conditions.
5.6. Storage of membranes The membrane should never be allowed to dry out. When idle the Vibro-Lab35P should be filled with water or a suitable aqueous solution. For short term storage (hours) it can be left in water. For longer periods it is recommended to add a suitable solution to keep the membranes wetted, and to prevent bacterial growth during storage.
