Stirring hotplate for better, safer, performance

Edited by the Laboratorytalk editorial team Apr 17, 2007

Third generation Carousel stirring hotplate is engineered for reliability and performance, offersing new features to enable faster heating, more powerful stirring, greater accuracy and superior safety

Offering adjustable speed control from 0 to 1200rpm and a stirring capacity of up to 20 litres of water the Carousel stirring hotplate is able to perform a wide range of laboratory tasks.

A new digital display enables greater accuracy in setting and control of stirring speeds and temperature (+/-1K).

All units now incorporate a removable PT1000 temperature sensor as standard, allowing the accurate control of heating via the measurement of the solution temperature.

User can also chose to purchase a separate electronic fuzzy logic temperature controller which further increases operational safety and ensures perfect temperature control (+/-0.1K) by eliminating the possibility of temperature overshoot even in applications requiring fast heating.

A powerful 600Watt heater combined with a highly polished, super-flat aluminium alloy top plate enables the Carousel stirring hotplate to rapidly heat to 310C.

Further new safety features include a digital temperature limit and a hot top indicator providing a clear warning of the hot surface to minimise the chances of accidental burns.

Robustly engineered the Carousel stirring hotplate is IP42 rated and includes a removable protective cover eliminating the ingress of external contaminants and guaranteeing long and reliable service.
