Planetary mixer selection skills

Planetary mixer is a common laboratory equipment, which is widely used to prepare various mixtures, emulsions and suspensions, etc.

Here are the key points and considerations to consider when choosing a planetary mixer:

Stirring ability: The stirring ability of the planetary mixer directly affects the uniformity and quality of the mixture. It is necessary to choose a planetary mixer with high speed, large capacity and multi-stage mixing.

Mixing head type: Different mixing heads can be suitable for different kinds of mixtures and containers. Different types of stirring heads need to be selected according to actual needs, such as circular stirring heads, conical stirring heads, spiral stirring heads, etc.

Safety: The operation of the planetary mixer involves high-speed rotating mixing heads and containers, and it is necessary to choose equipment with good safety performance, such as protective covers, safety locks, etc.

Operation control: The planetary mixer needs to have a control system that is easy to operate and easy to adjust, such as electronic display, speed adjustment, time control, etc.

Brand and service: Choosing a reputable and well-known brand can further ensure the quality and performance of the equipment. At the same time, the after-sales service of the brand is also very important, and can provide timely technical support and maintenance services.

When using a planetary mixer, you need to pay attention to the following points:

• When performing stirring operations, it is necessary to select a suitable container and stirring head to avoid overloading and improper operation.

• During use, it is necessary to pay attention to the cleaning and disinfection of the mixing head and container to avoid cross-contamination.

• Before use, it is necessary to check whether the various parts of the equipment are in good condition, such as belts, bearings, gears, etc.

• If there is any abnormal situation or failure during use, it should be stopped and checked in time, so as not to affect the safety and service life of the equipment.

• Different types of mixtures need to be treated separately to avoid chemical reactions or other adverse effects.
