Jacketed Vessel Accessory Installation and Removal
This section provides instructions for the installation and removal of a Jacketed Vessel on
the LabRAM II.
Make sure the LabRAM II mixer is turned off whenever installing,
manipulating, or removing the Jacketed Vessel assembly.
Carefully remove the existing vessel holder on the LabRAM II machine.
Locate the four bolt holes for mounting the Jacketed Vessel fixture on the
LabRAM II (Figure 5-2) payload plate.
Attach the Jacketed Vessel fixture to the payload plate using the four
mounting bolts. The washers should be installed between the bolt heads
and Jacketed Vessel fixture mounting feet, one on each foot, with the
orientation shown in Figure 5-2. Torque to 76 in-lbf (8.6 N-m).
Connect the stainless steel flex hoses to the Jacketed Vessel by threading
the male NPT fitting on the end of one hose into each of the female NPT
fittings on the outside of the Jacketed Vessel fixture. Apply thread sealant to
ensure a leak-free connection.
Install the O-Rings in the Jacketed Vessel fixture. For the large O-Ring
groove use the large O-Ring (part number 003306) and use the small O-
Ring (part number 003305) in the small O-Ring groove.
Attach each of the Heat Transfer Fluid Hoses to the back panel of the
LabRAM II mixer as shown in Figure 5.2. The Jacketed Vessel should work
equally well regardless of the direction of flow, but if a specific flow direction
is desired, note the hose locations.
Place the removable Mixing Vessel on top of the now mounted and installed
Jacketed Vessel fixture.
Place an O-Ring in each of the two O-Ring grooves of the fixture lid. For the
large O-Ring groove use the large O-Ring (part number 003306) and use
the small O-Ring (part number 003305) in the small O-Ring groove.
NOTE: Applying a thin layer of vacuum grease (customer supplied) on each
O-Ring in the Lid will provide better vacuum. Verify any material is
compatible with the vessel and the materials being processed.
Place the Jacketed Vessel fixture lid over the broad, removable Mixing
Vessel rim, orienting the vessel lid so that vacuum ports form a parallel line
with the back panel (see Fig 5.2). Use the Sanitary Quick-Clamp to clamp
the lid in place, tightening the clamp nut until the clamp is hand tight.
Insert the PTFE Sleeve for the RTD through the hole in the center of the
Compression Nut and Rear and Front Ferrules (as shown in Figure 5.3),
with the wide rim on top of the nut. Insert the RTD tip through the hole in the
center of the PTFE sleeve (Figure 5.3) and mount this assembly onto the
fitting on the top of the Jacketed Vessel fixture lid as shown in Figure 4.1.
Do not cross-thread the fittings or damage the ferrules.
