SECTION 3. SEALED CHAMBER ASSEMBLIES
3.1 SEALED CHAMBER ASSEMBLIES
Sealed chamber assemblies are available as separately ordered items for use with the
Omni Mixer and Macro. They consist of chambers, many of which are fluted to
facilitate mixing by inhibiting swirling, gasket screw on cover seals to inhibit aerosol
release, a shaft assembly, and a sharpened stainless steel blade, or generator probe.
Chamber materials include stainless steel, glass, polycarbonate, and polypropylene. A
full range of titanium chamber assemblies is also available for applications requiring
protection from leached elemental components, or where additional strength is a
factor. Please contact your nearest Omni International representative, or Omni
International at 1-800-776-4431 for complete details.
3.2 USING BLADE CHAMBER ASSEMBLIES
Stainless Steel or Titanium -
These chamber assemblies are intended for liquid and
semi-solid materials. Homogenization and mixing will normally be completed within 30
seconds to one minute. For processing solid materials, first reduce particle size
diameter to 1cm or less. Load the material to be processed in the chamber. Do not fill
the chamber to full capacity. Processing of too much volume could force liquid up
through the rotor shaft.
Glass and Plastic -
These chamber assemblies are intended primarily for low-
viscosity liquids or for light duty homogenization at speeds below 5,000 rpm. At
speeds greater than 5,000 rpm, place glass jar into a secondary container for added
protection.
WARNING: Inspect glass or plastic chambers for any scratches or cracks, and do not
use if any are found. Eye protection and utilization of a secondary container is
recommended to prevent damage or injury in case of glass breakage.
WARNING: The maximum recommended speed when using any of the blade
chamber assemblies is 10,000 rpm. Speeds in excess of 10,000 rpm can cause
excessive bearing wear or part failure.
