The lubricating effect of the ointment and substances generally protects the UNGUATOR®
Jars and the UNGUATOR® MB against abrasion. Discolorations of the mixing blade are mostly
irreversible and therefore harmless. All UNGUATOR® MB’s are dishwasher safe.
UNGUATOR® Standard mixing blade (SMB)
UNGUATOR® SMBs are adjusted to the size of each
individual UNGUATOR® Jar. While the UNGUATOR® SMBs
for 100 and 200 ml and for the 300 and 500 ml jars have
the same mixing blade diameter, their shaft length differs.
This must be taken into consideration, particulary when
using the UNGUATOR® e/s and the UNGUATOR® 2100,
since the use of the wrong lenght may cause problems
with the automated stroke.
Always make sure the UNGUATOR® MB used is the right
lenght, and that it is clean prior use. (e.g. with isopropanol 70%).
The UNGUATOR® SMB is suitable for the production of all formulations. For suspension
ointments and glass cleaning operations, we recommend the use of the UNGUATOR® Disp.
Blade.
UNGUATOR® Disposable Blade (Disp. Blade)
The UNGUATOR® Disp. Blade is suitable
for all UNGUATOR® devices. The
mixing blade of UNGUATOR® Disp.
Blade is connected to the UNGUATOR®
Disp. Blade shaft by twisting the
blade counterclockwise and can be
disconnected after the mixing process
with a clockwise turn.
The material contact in the ointment
is three times as high as when using
the Disp. Blade compared to the UNGUATOR® SMB at the same mixing speed. The counter
rotating twist of the mixing blades causes intensive material vibration in the material to be
mixed and achieves good product quality faster than using the UNGUATOR® SMB. We do
however recommend using the same mixing time as for the UNGUATOR® SMB.
In the process of final quality control the mixing blade can be picked up and discarded with
the small end of the shaft, or left inside the jar. Cleaning is limited to the UNGUATOR® Disp.
Blade shaft. We recommend using the UNGUATOR® Disp. Blade for substances that may
