The Heinzen Spinner is an industrial centrifugal spinner that can accommodate up to **three platforms** at once. The high centrifugal-forces generated by this spinner result in **solvent-free** cleaning of parts.

A discharge spout allows for **recapturing resin spun off of parts** during spinning. Resins may be filtered and reused, being mindful that two-part resins must be used within their pot lifewindow.

This spinner is built for the most demanding production environments and enables fast, cost-effective manufacturing of Carbon-based applications.&#x20;

## Platform Loading

When purchasing a Heinzen Spinner for Carbon DLS production, the spin chamber will be **equipped** to receive an **L1 platform**, or an **adapter for M3 and M3 Max platforms**. For both items:

- Slide platform or adapter side rails into slot on **both sides**
- Fully insert the platform or adapter and **click into place**
- Load *all three slots* in the spinner with the same platform to **ensure balance**

***Adapter Installation***

Correct installation of the adapter requires both sides to be firmly held in the <font color="#32c49a">**slots**</font>.

The M3/M3 Max adapter **may be left inside the chamber** between spins.
:::

:::hint{type="info"}
It is unlikely that the adapter will need cleaning because resin is pulled away from it during spinning. If, however, resin ends up on this accessory, IPA on a blue shop towel may be used to clean the adapter. Do not spray solvent directly into the spinner; always dampen the blue towel outside of equipment.
:::

***Installing the M3/M3 Max Platform*******
The spinner adapter is designed to fit all M3 and M3 Max platforms:

- ✔️ [Standard Platform](docId:2nxiKvTUJloOWyMApXUNL)*&#x20;AO compatible*
- ✔️ [Legacy Platform](docId:2nxiKvTUJloOWyMApXUNL)

To install the platform, simply slide the platform along the compatible rails on the adapter. Ensure that the platform has fully engaged both rails and is sitting flat against the adapter.

:::hint{type="danger"}
You mus&#x74;**&#x20;use the same platform version** on *all three adapters* to ensure balance.
