	Inserting grinding media Ensure that the grinding media are inserted correctly in the machine. Otherwise they can be damaged, when starting the machine
	Removing and opening hot grinding media When removing and opening hot grinding media, always wear protective gloves. There is a danger of burning the hands
	Materials Observe the relevant regulations and directives for handling chemicals and hazardous materials. Milling of materials, which give a risk of fire or explosion, is prohibited.
	Cleaning Do not clean the LMBR500 under running water. Danger to life through electric shock. Use only a soft cloth moistened with water. Cleaning agents and solvents should not be used, not for cleaning the milling tools either.
	Repair For your own safety, repairs must be carried out only by authorized service technicians.

General Description

The LMBR500 is a laboratory machine used for bottle rolling. The rollers can be adjusted to fit several sizes of bottles.

Using the bottle roller will result in grinding and mixing the sample at an adjustable rotating speed.

The bottle should be having a minimum weight for optimum use. The weight is depending on the RPM and the bottle size.

Technical Features

Construction

The housing of LMBR500 is made of steel with powder coated RAL5005 paint.

Protective equipment

The bottle roller is equipped with a safety cage and closed down with a manual safety switch. The cage will be supported with pneumatic springs.

Starting of the machine is possible only when:

– power is connected;
– the emergency switch is not activated;
– all parameters are given to the digital program of the machine.
– The safety switch is closed in the right way.

Technical Data

Installation

Unpacking

Before the installation, carefully examine the delivery for possible damage or missing parts. Open the crate and take the machine out of the box. Check that the machine has not been visibly damaged during the transport.

Please keep the packing material for the duration of the guarantee period. In case of a complaint and return of the machine in unsuitable packing material, your guarantee claim will be lost.

Check that the mains cord is compatible with the local standard.
If any kind of damage occurred during transport, immediately make a complaint to the carrier. Any incorrect delivery or missing parts should be reported to the distributor.

Selecting the Right Place

When selecting the right place for the machine, please consider the following:

– Put the device on smooth, horizontal and stable place.
– Leave enough space beyond the device for normal air circulation, min. 200 mm at the back of the machine.
– Leave enough space around the device, that you will easy control and maintain it.
– Don’t use the device in surroundings, where there are fast temperature and humidity changes. Also avoid places exposed to direct sunlight and places nearby heating devices.
– Avoid places, where the possibility of shocks and vibrations exists.

Note: The machine should not be placed so, that it is difficult to pull out the cord plug from mains power supply.

Connecting the Power Cord

The correct voltage and frequency for the LMBR500 are given on the name plate.
Ensure that these values correspond to the available power supply system.
Fit one end of the power cord, included in the delivery, into the mains socket on the machine. Connect the other end of the cord to a grounded wall socket.
To avoid interference from noise, surges and spikes, a dedicated line is preferred. If no such line is available, avoid lines to which powerful electric motors, refrigerators and similar devices are connected.

The power can be turned on and off by the emergency switch, located on the front cover at the right side of the machine. Light in the switch indicates, when the power is on.

Environment Conditions

The machine has been built for operating in laboratory environment. Therefore the environmental conditions should be the following:

– Temperature from +5°C to +40°C
– Humidity up to 85% RH, non-condensing

Control Panel Description

Adjust the rolls to meet the requirements suitable for the used bottles. The indication on the metal piece gives a size for the chosen bottle volume.

Working Instructions

General

The LMBR500 is a high performance product.

• Switch the machine on.

• Open the lid of the machine and set the required distance between the two shafts depending on the used bottle. Put in the required amount of bottle onto the rolls.

• Set the parameters as described before.
• Close the machine lid and press start on the display.

	The milling process can only be started, when the hood is closed.
	Do not open the hood during the process, also not by force.
	Do not mill inflammable or explosive samples! For these kind of samples, please contact us for special features.

Please note that the properties and therefore the dangerous nature of your sample, can change during the milling process.

Stopping the process

• Stop the operation by pressing the emergency switch.
  Or
• When the time elapses, the milling process is automatically ended. The display is reset to the last set value.

Troubleshooting

Maintenance

LMBR500 needs to be greased with intervals of 150 hours. The grease should be applied to the bearings of the roller.

Use GREASE. Similar can be graphite free, high temperature grease.

Wear

The rolls can become worn out, depending on the frequency of the operation and the bottle material.

Cleaning

	Before cleaning the machine, unplug the mains cord from wall socket. Use only a soft cloth moistened with water. Cleaning agents and solvents should not be used.
	Do not clean the LMBR500 under running water. Danger to life through electric shock.
