Roller Apparatus

Fixed Frame Roller Apparatus
The Bellco Cell Production Roller Apparatus has been designed for
production of animal cells, viruses and cell products. Modular units are
available from 5 to 45 bottle positions and allow easy expansion with
modular add-on decks. Non-modular production units come in 45 and
50 bottle positions with over 80,000 cm2 of surface area. Rollers have
a key design to eliminate slipping and are easily removable for servicing
of bearings. Rollers are formulated from a chemical-resistant non-slip
EPDM. All units feature a solid state control with heavy-duty DC motor
and analog tachometer. Non-modular production models feature rubber
bumpers, handles and a slotted rear guard. Optional All Position Drives
are available for use with plastic roller bottles to prevent slipping of
the light-weight bottles. An optional Stand By Drive and Alarm System
provides motion and power failure alarms and has a redundant drive system that automatically drives the unit should the primary fail.

Process Bottom & Top Drive Roller Apparatus
The Bellco Process Controlled Bottom Drive Roller Apparatus holds up to 53 (see specifications below) full size glass or plastic roller bottles (110 to 120 mm diameter and up to 510 mm in length). The unit features a brushless DC motor and controller that operate at bottle speeds ranging from 0.3 to 9.0 rpm with the ability to select clockwise or counter clockwise direction. Units feature brushless, maintenance-free DC motors with drive assemblies designed for quiet operation. Four corner bumpers and two locking castors (on the front wheel positions) are also provided. Rollers are easily removed for replacement by using the special tool provided with each unit. All-Position Drive facilitates the use of lightweight plastic roller bottles by ensuring rotation at each bottle station, independent of any load configurations. The unit has an RS-485 communication port. This RS-485 port is provided for process control and
monitoring by a remote controller (e.g. Computer). It provides communications to the controller using standard RS-485 protocols through an RJ-12 Jack. It is designed to be used with standard laboratory networking software, but may be used with any custom software that supports RS-485 communication.

Digital Bottom & Top Drive Roller Apparatus
The Bellco Digital Bottom Drive Roller Apparatus holds up to 53 (see
specifications below) full size glass or plastic roller bottles (110 to 120 mm
diameter and up to 510 mm in length). The unit features a brushless DC
motor and controller that operate at bottle speeds ranging from 0.3 to 9.0
rpm with the ability to select clockwise or counter clockwise direction. The
digital display panel has a 0.46” LCD for easy reading and the apparatus has
a locking speed knob. Four corner bumpers and two locking castors (on the front wheel positions) are also provided. Rollers are easily removed for replacement by using the special tool provided with each unit.
