Add solid material only while the agitation is switched on. This prevents aggregation
near the agitator.
Use fine grained material. Large crystals or granular material dissolves slowly and
can damage the disposable bag material.
Add solid material near the end of the liquid addition process, if possible.
Add solid material slowly to avoid supersaturated solutions in the mixer.
Consider using a hoist when lifting large containers with solid material.
CAUTION
Heavy object. The container with solid ingredients is heavy. Use
caution when filling the disposable bag from the top of the mixer,
to avoid personal injury.
