Safety informaon and use
2.2 Scope of applicaon
NOTICE
Fritsch laboratory mills are not intended for use in explosion-
hazardous areas. Fritsch laboratory mills therefore fall outside
the scope of the 94/9/EC Direcve, but within the scope of
the Machinery Direcve 2006/42/EC. The use of Fritsch labora-
tory mills within explosion-hazardous areas is not permissible
according to ATEX (94/9/EC) and is only allowed if addional
explosion protecon measures are taken. According to the
Machinery Direcve 2006/42/EC, there are no ignion sources
in our mills that can become eecve during normal operaon.
Nonetheless, there may be ignion sources in our mills that
may become eecve in the event of probable malfuncons.
Because Fritsch has only limited informaon on the composi-
on of the ground product in use, its nal neness and there-
fore ulmately its ignion temperature, no statement regarding
the explosion risk during intended use in conjuncon with the
occurring energy input can be made.
The occurrence of dust explosions can therefore never be
completely ruled out. The user must create an explosion pro-
tecon document in accordance with the ATEX 137 Direcve
(1999/92/EC) and dene appropriate protecve measures.
NOTICE
This laboratory instrument is designed for an 8-hour shi oper-
aon at 30 % duty cycle and not for connuous operaon.
The duty cycle is dened as the rao of load duraon to run
me. The run me is dened as load duraon plus pause me.
According to DIN EN 60034-1 (VDE 0530, IEC34-1) a connuous
operaon already takes place aer a standardised run me of
10 minutes. At 30 % duty cycle (DC = rao of load duraon to
run me) a load duraon of 3 minutes and a pause me of 7
minutes would be within standard.
If the standardised run me of 10 minutes is exceeded, then,
by denion, there would be a connuous operaon and
disproporonate temperature increases may occur, possibly
involving increased wear.
The Planetary mono mill PULVERISETTE 6
classic line
can be applied universally
for the fast, dry or wet grinding of inorganic and organic samples for analysis,
quality inspecon, material tesng or mechanical alloying. During synthesis, the
PULVERISETTE 6 mixes and homogenises dry samples, emulsions or suspensions.
2.2.1 Operang principle
The grinding stock is crushed and ground by grinding balls in a grinding bowl. The
centrifugal forces resulng from the rotaon of the grinding bowls around their
own axes and from the rotang support disc (14) inuence the contents of the
grinding bowl consisng of grinding stock and grinding balls.
