5.3  Setting the mixing angle on the drive unit 

The angle of the mixing stick can in theory be set between 5 and 25°. It is however not 
recommended to use an angle above 12.5° in order to avoid damage to the mixing 
biocontainer while mixing due to high stress on the film. 

The angle can be changed by unlocking the 2 fixation pins at the back and by 
pushing/pulling the mixing head in another angle while keeping the 2 other fixation pins in 
the front unlocked. 

 

Figure 32: Setting the mixing angle 

 

The life time of a mixing biocontainer will decrease with increasing mixing angle as there are 
more stresses on the mixing sleeve.  

In general an angle of 10 or 12.5° will be more than sufficient to obtain an efficient mixture. 
Therefore Pall strongly recommends to not use an angle above 12.5°.
