Hello,
I run some tests of the motor base agitators I have for a member here who wish to use it with a Jobo 3005.
The ones I have are: Unicolor Uniroller (inversion), Beseler, Premier and Ilford which have no inversion.
I read on the forum thay many users get rid of the inversion of the Uniroller or systematically turn the drum every minute.
What about the drifting :( do you start your drum exactly center of the tube or center it with the cover included?
Your procedure will be welcome for the member, I personnally use Jobo processor.
Here my results with a Jobo 3005 with 1 litre of water.
Uniroller (with inversion) 16 inversions of 3/4 turn, the Jobo sticker is always get back on top but the inversion goes to about 2 o'clock only. The drum stay centering on this base.
Beseler (model without inversion, 1 switch, adjustable foot) 30 rotations/min, the tank drift at right even if I put the top at left or right. Drift so much than the drum may drop from the base in less than 1 minute.
Ilford (without inversion, adjustable foot, level on top) 26 rotations /min, the tank drift at left even if the cover is at right or left.
Premier (without inversion, no adjustable foot but level on top) 15 rotations/min. Cannot roll the 3005 because of the center rib. But fine with the 3006 and 3010, Drums stay center.
