Need help?Do you have a question about the Thinky ARE-250 and is the answer not in the manual?
The Thinky Mixer ARE-250 is a planetary centrifugal mixer designed for efficient and precise mixing and deaeration of various materials. This device is engineered to handle a significant volume, capable of mixing 300 ml or 250 g (net weight) of ingredients simultaneously in its supplied container. Its core function revolves around a non-contact mixing method, meaning it operates without the use of mixing blades. This design choice is crucial as it prevents any damage to the ingredients during the mixing process, making it suitable for delicate or sensitive materials.
A key feature of the Thinky Mixer ARE-250 is its versatility in operation modes. Users can select between an isolated mixing-only mode and a deaerating-only mode, or opt for a continuous operation that combines both. In the mixing-only mode, the device utilizes rotation at a maximum of 800 rpm and revolution at a maximum of 2000 rpm. This powerful combination ensures thorough and homogeneous mixing of materials. For deaeration, the device operates at a lower rotation speed, with a maximum of 60 rpm, and a higher revolution speed, reaching up to 2200 rpm. This specialized deaeration mode is effective in removing air bubbles from the mixed materials, which is often critical for the quality and performance of the final product in various applications. The ability to switch between these modes, or run them continuously, provides significant flexibility to users, allowing them to tailor the process to the specific requirements of their materials.
The non-contact mixing principle of the ARE-250 not only protects the ingredients but also contributes to high mixing reproducibility. This means that the device consistently produces uniform results, minimizing variations that might otherwise arise from human factors or less precise mixing methods. Such consistency is invaluable in research and development, quality control, and production environments where material properties need to be tightly controlled.
For ease of use and operational safety, the Thinky Mixer ARE-250 incorporates several practical features. The device includes lid sensors that prevent operation when the lid is open, ensuring user safety and preventing accidental starts. Users are guided through the preparation and operation process, which includes steps like preparing the material and container, filling the material, loading the material container, and adjusting the revolution balance. The manual emphasizes the importance of properly closing the lid before powering on the device and setting the processing conditions. Once the process is complete, instructions are provided for unloading the material container. Additionally, the device allows users to set and save defined conditions to memory slots, streamlining repetitive tasks and ensuring consistent processing parameters across batches.
Maintenance and control aspects are also addressed to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the Thinky Mixer ARE-250. Regular inspection is recommended to keep the device in good working order. A specific maintenance task highlighted is the adjustment of hinge movement using silicon spray, which suggests attention to detail in the mechanical aspects of the device. The manual also includes sections on troubleshooting and error indication, providing users with guidance on how to address common issues and interpret error messages, thereby minimizing downtime and facilitating self-correction.
Safety is paramount with the Thinky Mixer ARE-250, and the manual provides extensive precautions. Users are warned against disassembling or modifying the main unit and are instructed to connect the device only to a power source with the rated voltage. The importance of operating the device with the lid closed is reiterated, and users are advised against using the unit in unstable environments where it could be dropped, tipped over, or subjected to intense vibrations. Crucially, the manual strictly prohibits splashing or spilling mixtures, solvents, or other materials inside the main unit, as this could lead to damage, corrosion, electrical shock, or chemical reactions. Furthermore, the device is not designed to be explosion-proof, and users are explicitly warned against mixing dangerous, poisonous, or deleterious substances, especially those with low boiling points like organic solvents, due to the risk of fire or explosion caused by temperature rise or volume increase. These comprehensive safety guidelines underscore the manufacturer's commitment to user protection and responsible operation of the equipment.
