Page 6: System
Each side plate of the Vibro-Lab3500 Adaptor has a cavity that makes up the air cushion volume when the cartridge is mounted in the adaptor. At the bottom of each of the Vibro-Lab3500 Adaptor side plates there is a slit for placing the adaptor on the leaf springs of the base plate. -
Page 7: Safety
The Vibro-Lab3500 is designed to operate at maximum 3 bar(g) at room temperature. The feed system could be the standard feed pump from SANI Membranes. Other feed systems can be used but if capable of providing more than 3 bar(g) a CE approved safety valve of maximum 3 bar(g) must be used for protecting the Vibro-Lab3500. -
Page 8: Media
WARNING The operator should always make sure that the media to be filtered is compatible with the materials in fluid connection in the Vibro-Lab3500 and the feed system used. ATTENTION 3.4. Pressurized components If the pressure needed for the membrane assembly is generated by an external feed system (not included), then the membrane assembly, the external feed system and the tubing and fittings between the external feed system and the membrane assembly are one pressurized system. -
Page 9: Moving Parts
3.9. Accessories and spare parts The Vibro-Lab3500 can only be used together with a feed system that provides a maximum pressure of 3 bar(g). If the feed system is capable of providing more than 3 bar(g) a CE approved safety valve set to maximum 3 bar(g) must be used. -

Page 19: General Guidelines - Process
For microfiltration a very low trans membrane pressure often gives the best long-term results. During microfiltration the initial flux can be very high and easily result in severely fouled areas in the Vibro-Lab3500. It is recommended to use two pumps to control and limit the permeate flow to prevent this initial fouling from taking place. -
Page 20: Cip Operation
5.7. Storage of membranes The membrane should never be allowed to dry out. When idle the Vibro-Lab3500 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 wet, and to prevent bacterial growth during storage. -
