Responsibility of the operator
Operating personnel
The operator is obliged to ensure that the persons working on/with the
rotational vacuum concentrator
• has been specially commissioned by the operator for this purpose and
has received instruction on the hazards emanating from the device, the
output and end products as well as on the behaviour to be adopted in
the event of accidents and malfunctions and the measures to be taken
in such cases,
• are familiar with the fundamental health, safety and accident prevention
regulations,
• have been trained in terms of the operation of this system,
• have read and understood this operating manual (in particular the safety
sections and warning notes) and confirmed this with their signature.
– the rotor chamber up to the pressure control valve, aeration and
micro-injection valve block
– the glass lid
– the vacuum measurement technology.
The areas of responsibility of the personnel concerning the operation,
maintenance and care of the unit must be clearly defined.
The safety-conscious work of the personnel in compliance with the
operating manual and the relevant EC health and safety directives and the
national laws concerning health and safety and the prevention of accidents
must be checked at regular intervals (e.g. every month).
Working area
The operator must
• perform a risk assessment concerning potential accidents in connection
with the rotational vacuum concentrator and take design-related
countermeasures, if necessary.
• Perform a risk assessment in view of the specific hazards associated
with the processing of the respective product in the rotational vacuum
concentrator (e.g. ignition/explosion hazard, leakage of harmful product
residues at the outlets of the chamber) and take the corresponding
measures, if necessary.
• perform a compatibility test of all substances that are used in the
rotational vacuum concentrator (both products to be dried and cleaning
agents, etc.) that come into contact with chamber walls, pipes and
seals. The use of substances that damage the material (stainless steel
1.4404 and 1.4435, aluminium, borosilicate glass, EPDM and PPS) or
weaken the mechanical strength is prohibited.
• have the system maintained at regular intervals (see chapter 3.4 -
"Requirements concerning the personnel").
• Any parts or components that are not in perfect working order must be
replaced without delay.
