Premix/Mixing
Before using – rinse the bowl and lid assembly. Shake
off the excess water. This is most important whenever
water and material are measured. Proportion water and
material (water first – material next) into bowl according
to manufacturer’s specifications.
Premixing may eliminate the need to hand incorporate
the mix before placing the bowl into the mixer. The unit
includes a default premix option and also the ability to
customize the premix parameters according to material
and volume being mixed. The allowable parameters
include the ability to customize the speed, time and
paddle direction in up to eight stages.
NOTE: WHEN MIXING DENSER STONES IN THE
#7685, 1200ML BOWL, PREMIXING BY HAND IS
RECOMMENDED TO PREVENT MOTOR STALL.
The default parameters are:
CW = CLOCKWISE
CCW = COUNTER CLOCKWISE

The mixing portion of the program is customizable
according to the needs of the material manufacture
with the ability to include a premix, pre vacuum and
post vacuum. All mixing stages include the ability to
customize the speed, time and direction of the paddle.
Before starting a program, make sure the paddle and
bowl are clean.
Start the program and place the appropriate mixing
paddle on the Vac-U-Mixer bowl. Hold the bowl and
paddle up until the vacuum supports the bowl and
paddle. The rest is automatic.
