Alexika ROLLER 10 basic: Correct use

12

Correct use

Individual rollers can be removed to allow tubes of different sizes 

to be processed. In this case the rollers automatically take up 

symmetrical positions on the shaking table, so that the rollers 

can be removed and inserted as desired.

Useful information

The integral tube stopper prevents the tubes falling out. 

For the safety of the operator, the device switches off automati-

cally if the rollers jam and/or can no longer rotate freely.
