7.3
USING THE MIXTURE WITH PLASTER (OPTIONAL)
the 600 cc bowl must be used for plaster (supplied on request).
to MiX tHe Plasters, first Pour in tHe Water and
tHen add tHe PoWder.
repeat the operations described previously in paragraph
7.2, starting from figure 5.
7.4
USING THE MIXTURE WITH SILICONE (OPTIONAL)
fig. 10: after having carried out correct installation and
commissioning, proceed as follows: connect the mixing support
block (8) to the mixer. Make sure that the mixing block is applied
(7) and that it still contains sheets.
fig. 11: Place the appropriate amount of the two components to
be mixed (7) onto the mixing block.
fig. 12: from the central “off” position, turn the switch (2) to the
left in “slow” position for slow plate rotation.
do not use the alghamix ii mixer at “fast” plate speed
as high speed rotation causes the projection of the
material.
fig. 13: using the spatula for silicones (6) mix the two components
until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
Place the switch (2) in the central off position.
in order to prevent any residual risks (see par. 7.5), always
wear protection goggles during the mixing phase.
fig. 14: release the support (8) and use the mixed material.
remove the used adhesive sheet from the mixing block (7).
always make sure that there are adhesives sheets on the
mixing block (7).
(*) or even other fluid elastomers.
7.5
RESIDUAL RISKS
residual risks are:
• a danger that cannot be totally eliminated through design and
the application of safety devices;
• a potential danger that cannot be highlighted.
the alghamix ii mixer is a machine that allows to mix products for
dental technology use; the residual risks are represented by:
• being hit by jets, drops and/or sprays of compound during the
mixing phase (which could cause serious injury to the eyes);
• interventions inside the machine by unauthorised staff.
in order to prevent accidents, always operate with
respect to that described in this Manual. if in doubt,
always contact the Manufacturer or authorised after-
sales Centre.
CHAPTER 8: MAINTENANCE
8.1
CLEANING THE MACHINE
use a dry cloth to clean the machine exterior. if necessary, dampen
the cloth with a small amount of water or a non-degreasing
detergent.
the operator must ensure that the machine is kept clean from
foreign materials such as debris, water, non-conducting liquids etc.
for this purpose cleaning must be performed at the end of every
shift, with the machine in stable conditions.
to clean the mixing components (e.g. bowl and spatula) use a
sponge and plenty of running water. if necessary, use a foodstuff-
safe detergent. rinse and dry all components well before re-use.
do not use inflammable, corrosive, alkaline or toxic
liquids to clean the machine and/or components.
8.2
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
once the machine has been cleaned (see paragraph 8.1), the
operator must check for worn, damaged or loose parts. if any such
situations are detected, contact the authorised after-sales Centre.
6.5
START-UP
fig. 1: Place the machine level on the work bench (see par. 6.3.1).
fig. 2: insert the bowl correctly (1) by turning it 90° clockwise.
failure to comply with any of the above-stated
machine installation regulations can lead to machine
malfunctioning and render the warranty null and void.
6.6
DECLARED USE
the alghamix ii mixer has been designed to mix alginates, plaster
and silicones for the dental sector.
6.7
NON-DECLARED/PROHIBITED USE
using the machine for any purpose not considered in paragraph
6.6 regarding “declared use” shall be considered improper and
thus forbidden.
the improper use of the machine renders the warranty
null and void and zhermack s.p.a. declines all liability
for any damage to objects and injury to operators or
third parties.
the main reasons for which the warranty is rendered null and
void are given in paragraph 2.2 and in the “Warranty Certificate”
attached to this Manual.
CHAPTER 7: USING THE MACHINE
7.1
GENERAL WARNINGS
for total certainty of safe operation, scrupulously follow
the work phases given below.
for greater clarity, the numbers stated in the figures
positioned near to the paragraph boxes correspond to
the numbering of the data in Chapter 3, regarding the
“description of the machine”.
in order to prevent any residual risks (see par. 7.5), always
wear protection goggles during the mixing phase.
to avoid the occurrence of any risks, pay attention to
avoid pouring water during the preparation on the
electrical voltage parts.
7.2
USING THE MIXER WITH ALGINATE
after having carried out correct installation and commissioning,
proceed as follows:
fig. 3: use a measuring beaker to batch the alginate powder that
is to be mixed in the bowl (1).
fig. 4: use a measuring beaker to dose the water necessary for
mixing the powder and pour it into the bowl.
fig. 5: Pre-mix gently using the spatula (3).
in order to prevent any residual risks (see par. 7.5), always
wear protection goggles during the mixing phase.

fig. 6a: Push the spatula away from yourself and press it firmly
against the bowl. after a few seconds increase the speed (“fast”
mode).
7.2.2 MiXinG for left-Handed users
fig. 7: start to mix in “slow” mode.
fig. 7a: Pull the spatula towards yourself and press it firmly against
the bowl. after a few seconds increase the speed (“fast” mode).
