The incorrect mixing bla-
de is used.
The mixing blade shaft is too long
and the jar cannot be screwed into
the oscillation arm.
Use a mixing blade with a suitab-
le shaft length (see section „3.2.3
Assignment of mixing blades to the
jars“).
The incorrect mixing bla-
de is used.
The mixing blade shaft cannot be
centered in the holder after perfor-
ming a full stroke.
Use a mixing blade with a suitab-
le shaft length (see section „3.2.3
Assignment of mixing blades to the
jars“).
Defective (for e.g. bent)
mixing blades or other
mixing blades than those
supplied are used.
The mixing blade does not engage
or engages only partly in the bayo-
net mount.
Only use intact SAMIX

The mixing blade is ope-
rated without a jar with
the device.
Risk of injury upon contact with the
rotating mixing blade.
Only use mixing blades with the
SAMIX
®
ES500 in jars which have
been firmly screwed in.
Jars with a nominal vo-
lume from 1000 ml are
used.
The device switches off as a result
of an overload.
Only use jars with a nominal volume
up to 500 ml.
When inserting the mi-
xing blade in the jar lid,
the sealing lip of the jar lid
opening breaks with the
noses of the mixing blade
shaft.
Ointment elements (mainly liquid)
may draw up at the shaft of the
mixing blade during the mixing pro-
cess.
When inserting the mixing blade in
the jar lid, do not break the sealing
lip of the jar lid opening with the no-
ses of the mixing blade shaft.
Perform air reduction before the mi-
xing process.
The base of the jar is not
pushed down as far as
the stop before weighing
in the ingredients.
All recipe components cannot be
housed in the jar, although the filling
volume is on average 40% larger
than the nominal volume.
Press down the base of the jar fully
before weighing in the ingredients.
Use the next biggest jar.
For the manufacture of
low-viscose preparations,
the sealing lips of the jar
base are not wet with an
ointment base.
Mixed material may emerge at the
jar base during preparation.
Wet the sealing lips of the base
with ointment base to support the
sealing effect.
The air is not removed
from the jar before the
mixing of semi-solid pre-
parations.
An air column forms on the inside
of the jar when mixing the ointment,
meaning the mixing blade cannot
clean itself. Unmixed elements may
remain stuck on the mixing blade.
Perform air reduction before the mi-
xing process.
The air is not removed
from the jar before the
mixing of liquid prepara-
tions.
During mixing overpressure ari-
ses which cannot be reduced by
pushing down the movable base.
As a result, ointment can draw up
on the shaft of the mixing blade du-
ring the mixing process.
Perform air reduction before the mi-
xing process.
