5. Operating Instructions
The VONROC mixer is designed for efficient mixing of various materials. Always prepare your materials and work area before starting.
Material Preparation:
- Ensure the mixing container is stable and large enough to prevent overflow during mixing.
- Add the material to be mixed according to its specific instructions.
Speed Adjustment:
The mixer features two mechanical speed settings and electronic variable speed control to match the material's consistency and type.
Image 5.1: Adjusting speed settings based on material.
This image illustrates the two available speed settings for the mixer. Speed 1 operates between 180-400 RPM, suitable for lighter materials, while Speed 2 operates between 300-700 RPM, ideal for heavier or thicker mixtures. Users can adjust the speed based on the material type and desired consistency.
- Speed 1 (180 - 400 rpm): Recommended for lighter, less viscous materials such as paint, lacquer, or thin plaster.
- Speed 2 (300 - 700 rpm): Suitable for heavier, more viscous materials like cement, mortar, thick adhesives, or wallpaper paste.
- Use the electronic variable speed control dial to fine-tune the RPM within the selected mechanical speed range.
Mixing Procedure:
- Select the appropriate speed setting for your material.
- Hold the mixer firmly with both hands using the ergonomic handles.
- Immerse the agitator paddle fully into the material before switching on the mixer.
- Press the power switch to start the mixer. The soft start function will ensure a smooth ramp-up.
- Slowly move the agitator through the material, ensuring thorough mixing from the bottom up and around the sides of the container.
- Continue mixing until the desired consistency is achieved and no lumps remain.
- Before removing the agitator from the material, switch off the mixer and allow the paddle to stop rotating completely.
