Page 7: Safety
Safety Safety Using the device The device is intended for use in laboratories and facilities for industrial and scientific research. With the device, it is possible to use the catalytic effect of ultrasound in processes that require simultaneous cooling. The cooling function protects heat-sensitive samples, and process sequences can be designed faster and more effectively than with conventional methods. -
Page 8: Damage To Health Due To Ultrasonic Noise
Safety Damage to health due to ultrasonic noise The typical ultrasonic noise produced during a procedure can be perceived as very unpleasant. Remaining within a radius of 2 m for a long period of time may cause you to suffer damage to your health. •... -
Page 9: Danger Due To The Agents Used
Safety Danger due to the agents used The agents used in the device can be toxic or corrosive. They can irritate eyes, skin and mucous membranes. The vapours and aerosols can also be dangerous. • Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling hazardous agents. •... -
Page 10: Erosion Of The Oscillating Tank
Safety Erosion of the oscillating tank The surface of the oscillating tank is subject to erosion. How quickly this erosion takes place depends on how the device is used. The erosion leads to leakage points in the oscillating tray. This allows bath liquid to enter the interior of the device. Moisture on electrical components can cause an electric shock or fire. -
