Flowing recesses  of the UNGUATOR® SMB 

The flow-adapted shape of the UNGUATOR® SMB generally cleans itself during the rotating 
penetration of the ointment. Unmixed ingredients may adhere to recesses of flow of the 
UNGUATOR®  SMB  depending  on  the  ointment’s  ingredient’s  compatibility  sequence  of 
weighted sample but  also if the UNGUATOR® Jar is considerably underfilled (e.g. large 
volumes of powder). These remnants should be transferred into the UNGUATOR® Jar using 
a spatula when about half of the mixing time is complete. The air should be decreased 
again following this process. When using the UNGUATOR ® Disp. Blade, however, there are 
no recesses and no remedial work is required.

Heating 

The  heat  that  develops  from  the  friction  between  the  UNGUATOR®  MB  and  the  inside 
wall  of  the  UNGUATOR®  Jar  is  required.  Decreased  viscosity  increases  the  wettability 
of  powders  and  accelerates  the  penetration  of  potential  powder  pockets.  Even  the 
emulsifying readiness of fats and oils is benefited by heat. A temperature of 54 °C/129 
°F was the maximum taken after 6 minutes of mixing a highly pasty preparation made of 
vaseline and zinc oxide aa at full speed. This temperature increase is generally safe for the 
substances used in the pharmaceutical field.  Ointments of low viscosity only heat slightly 
[2]. Volatile substances such as ethereal oils or alcohol do not evaporate from the closed 
UNGUATOR® Mixing System.
