Push the clamping brackets (10) down until they engage in the

bracket guides (12) provided and can not be moved down any fur-

ther.

The loading position can only be changed if the locking elements

(11) and clamping brackets (10) that are not in their initial posi-

tions and block the milling mechanism reach their initial positions

again correctly.

NOTICE!
After a few minutes of grinding and during the cooling

phases, check that the condition of the grinding bowls is OK

5.10 Mass balance

Planetary ball mills are generally subject to a specific imbalance during

operation. To keep this imbalance as low as possible, all rotating masses

in the system must be balanced as completely as possible.
To ensure optimum mass balancing (imbalance correction) of the device,

identical grinding bowls and identical grinding bowl fillings must always

be used at both grinding stations.
It is quite possible to operate the device with different loads (e.g. dif-

ferent grinding bowl fillings) - however, that will result in a power loss or,

depending on the degree of imbalance, in the device shutting down.

"Please check the imbalance" appears on the display, see

5.11 Grinding duration

Depending on the application, the grinding duration should be adapted

to the development of heat of the bowls. When grinding at high speed, a

grinding duration of 1 hour (depending on the temperature) should not

be exceeded. Then allow the unit to cool down for half an hour to an

hour.
If a chemical reaction takes place in the grinding bowl, the result may be

the development of a very high pressure in the grinding bowl, without

the temperature exceeding 100°C. The pressure must also be released

when the grinding bowl has cooled down.
