Owner's manual

Perform a lower bearing maintenance check:

1. It is time to replace your lower Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) bearing if...

c. The inside diameter of the lower PTFE bearing fits loosely on the outside diameter of the shaft

d. And/or you are able to wiggle and tilt the PTFE bearing

2. This item is the same for all Multi-Generator Probe. You will need to order the Multi-Generator Probe lower

PTFE bearings from an authorized Service Department.

Tips to maximize your Multi-Generator Probe performance:

1. Never run the Multi-Generator Probe dry. The Multi-Generator Probe requires liquid sample/medium to

lubricate the bearings during processing.

2. Without the liquid, the bearings can burn out and cause damage to the Multi-Generator Probe itself.

3. Make sure you are processing the recommended sample volume for the Multi-Generator Probe you are using. If

you are unsure if this is the correct Multi-Generator Probe for your application, please contact a sales

representative before using the Multi-Generator Probe.

4. Always begin homogenizing at a low rpm, and then gradually increase the speed to your target level.

5. Please follow the instructions in the manual to ensure that you attach the Multi-Generator Probe properly to the

homogenizer unit.

6. We recommend taking apart and cleaning Multi-Generator Probe after each use.

All Generator Probe Cleaning

1) Immediately after you have finished working with the generator probe, the generator probe must be cleaned so

that the substance residues do not stick to the rotor and stator and allow small bacterial cultures to form in

undesirable places.

2) For this purpose, the generator probe should be run in a solvent, which dissolves the substance residue and

does not harm the components. The rotor and stator are cleaned as the solvent is pumped through the

generator probe.

3) Please ensure that all cleaning processes are compatible with 316SS and PTFE.

4) For a more thorough cleaning it is recommended that your generator probe be disassembled and cleaned via

one of the following processed;

a. Chemical process - Germicidal solutions (formalin, phenol, alcohol etc.) can disinfect in most cases.

i. Residues of the germicide must subsequently be removed with sterilized water.

ii. Please ensure that all chemical processes are compatible with 316SS and PTFE.

b. Sterilizing by humid heat – This means sterilizing with steam at a pressure of 2 bar above atmosphere

and a temperature of 120

i. Generator probes are heat resistant up to 390° F / 198° C.

c. Sterilizing by hot air - Hot air sterilization is normally carried out at 160 to 190

i. Generator probes are heat resistant up to 390° F / 198° C

d. Flaming - This method can be used, however, it is only effective on external surfaces.

i. Generator probes are heat resistant up to 390° F / 198° C
