Use as a dry box
Normally, air that has been adequately dried using silica gel is circulated, but including the use of nitrogen gas is even more effective. (Always install a decompression valve on the gas tank for use.) 

1. Open the cock on the upper left-hand side of the main unit.

2. Inject the gas to the cock on the upper right-hand side of the main unit using the diameters 6mm tube.

3. This depends on the gas flow amount, gas will fill the inside in approximately three to five minutes, so close both gas stopper cocks on the tank.

 

Use as a sterile box
When using this under normal conditions, the sterilizing lamp is adequate. However, dry, sterilized air can be constantly circulated inside using an air filter device (removes more than 99.97% of the particles of 0.3 µm using the DOP test method) and silica gel (filled to approximately 80% of the silica gel tank).

1. Close the main unit door, and turn on the switches for the sterilizing lamp and fan.

2. When the sterilizing lamp is on, always mount the accessory shielding plate.

3. When using the pass box on the right of the main unit, open the outside door while the inside door is closed, and open the inside door after closing the outside door.

4. If the filter or silica gel is dirty, clogged or discolored, replace them.

The IKA MK 2000 is a high-performance inline colloid mill capable of performing wet and fine milling of tough and grainy raw materials. The MK 2000 is especially suitable for the production of colloidal solutions or extremely fine emulsions and suspensions. Excellent dispersing performance allows the IKA Colloid Mill MK 2000 to be used for continuous processes, providing a narrow distribution range of ground particles in a single pass. For challenging milling tasks the colloid mill can be installed into a recirculation loop with a working vessel by means of tube connections.

For optimum adaptation of the machine to the process it can be equipped with different milling tools. The spiral geared as well as cross geared tools are available.

The conical geometry of the milling tools enables an axial displacement of the stator for an infinite adjustment of the milling gap. This allows influencing the dispersing effect, particularly regarding tasks with variable raw materials.

As neither the rotor nor the stator is slotted throughout, the probability of particles passing through the generator untreated is negligibly small. These collective features enable the IKA Colloid Mill MK to achieve the finest particle size reduction, thereby contending with a high pressure homogenizer by attaining similar dispersing results at higher flow rates.

The IKA Colloid Mill MK 2000 is available in seven different sizes, with varied possible throughput from 200 to 80.000 l/h. All machine sizes can work with the same circumferential rotor speed, which ensures reliable scale-up.

Advantages of the IKA MK 2000:

• High throughput in combination with excellent grinding result
• Different milling tools to customize milling shear rates
• Infinitely adjustable gap settings between rotor/stator for control of particle size reduction
• Compactness of production systems with IKA Colloid Mill MK as a result of the inline design of the machine
• Suitable for products in a wide viscosity range, up to 50.000 mPas
• Capable of operation under pressures up to 16 bar
• Easy scale-up processes developed with the laboratory machine MK onto production machine MK
• All wetted parts are made of 316L / 316Ti stainless steel
• High-value seal with wear-resistant materials
• High quality surface finishes for easy cleaning
• Other materials and finishes are available upon request
• Machine is self-draining. CIP and SIP capable
