A 2.5 pound container of zinc pellets (010-125) is supplied with each Biostar. Pellets are used to
prevent the thermal-plastic materials from stretching over areas of the model that are not part of the
appliance design. Stainless steel pellets (010-099) are also available. The pellets will prevent sealing
the chamber to the cup, and inhibit the pressure-molding process if left on the pellet cup rim.
Note: The use of pellets other than what the manufacturer recommends may result in
machine malfunction and could void the warranty.
Work models are placed in cylindrical pellets to:
• Support the base of the model so that the occlusal-incisal plane is parallel to the rim of the cup
• Prevent the material from forming to the facial surfaces of the teeth, making it hard to remove the
appliance from the work model, and overstretch of the thermal plastic
• Prevent heated material from melting wax used to support the appliance wires on facial areas
Place an adequate amount of pellets in the pellet
cup to elevate the model at the proper level.
Material termination areas, located on the facial
surface of the model, should be referenced at the
same height as the top ledge of the pellet cup.
Note: Mounted models may be referenced
slightly higher than indicated.
Remove the pellet drawer (A) from the machine by
pulling the drawer out using the handle.
To replace the pellet drawer, line up the drawer
with the opening and close the drawer ush to the
machine.
Pour pellets between the model and the inner wall
of the cup (red arrow). Apply additional pellets in
this area as needed.
