Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Bottle Rotary Shaker used for?
A Bottle Rotary Shaker is used to agitate solutions placed in laboratory flasks or bottles. It supports applications such as microbial culture preparation, extraction, dissolution, suspension mixing, pharmaceutical research, and chemical sample conditioning.
How many flasks can the rotary shaker hold?
The holding capacity depends on the platform size and flask volume. Standard configurations range from 15 flasks of 250 ml to approximately 81 flasks of 250 ml, while customized layouts can be manufactured for other requirements.
Can the shaking speed be adjusted?
Yes. The unit is equipped with an electronic variable-speed controller. Operators can regulate the shaking intensity according to the sample volume, viscosity, process duration, and required agitation level.
Does the equipment require calibration?
The shaker does not require volumetric calibration like measuring instruments. However, the speed-control response, platform motion, timer, electrical system, and loaded operation should be periodically verified according to the laboratory’s maintenance procedure.
Is a timer supplied with the Bottle Rotary Shaker?
A timer is available as an optional feature. The standard automatic timer configuration provides an adjustable operating period from 0 to 60 minutes and can stop the shaker after the selected duration.
Can custom platform sizes and flask capacities be supplied?
Yes. Platform dimensions, flask spacing, holding capacity, motor selection, and electrical specifications can be customized. Buyers should provide the flask volume, dimensions, required quantity, and preferred operating conditions before ordering.
Is the rotary shaker suitable for continuous laboratory use?
The heavy-duty frame and electrically controlled drive make it suitable for routine and extended laboratory operation. Recommended loading limits must be followed, and the platform should be balanced before starting each cycle.
How should the platform rotary shaker be maintained?
Keep the platform clean and dry, inspect rubber holders for wear, and avoid exceeding the specified load. Periodic checks of wiring, fasteners, motor performance, platform alignment, and speed-control response help maintain reliable operation.
How is the equipment packed for shipping?
The equipment is packed with protective cushioning and a rigid outer case or export-worthy wooden packaging where required. The platform and sensitive control components are secured to reduce movement and transit-related damage.
What is the expected shipping timeline for bulk orders?
Dispatch time depends on platform size, quantity, motor configuration, optional controls, and customization. Standard units generally have shorter production schedules, while institutional and customized orders are planned according to the approved technical specification.
