5.4 Connecting the mixing biocontainer to the drive unit
Before rolling the mixing tank under the drive unit the stainless steel mixing stick is placed in
the hollow rod of the mixing biocontainer. The fork at the end of the stick must slide over the
white paddle plate. This can be done by inserting the mixing stick in the hollow tube and
slowly rotating the stick until the fork slides over the white plate.
Figure 33: Inserting the mixing stick
The mixing tank can now be rolled under the system. Ensure that the protective front cover is
open, that the connection cylinder is in the zero position (pointing towards the front) and that
the outer cylinder is open. This cylinder can be turned open manually in the counterclockwise
direction.
The mixing tank can now be slowly positioned under the system.
For a 200 and 500L mixing tank use the positioning spacers provided with the drive unit to
facilitate the centering of the mixing tanks.
A 1000L does not require spacers as the tank fits in between the frame (left, right and back)
