New Magnetic Stirrer for demanding Applications
Jul 14 2014
The remarkable technical functions of the new IKA® magnetic stirrer RET® control-visc have been developed for demanding applications. The unit mainly focuses on three core competences: safety, power and intelligence. This is made possible by using high performance electronic components, intelligent heating technology, a motor designed specifically for a variety of applications, including high viscosity fluids and high quality standards applied during the production process.
With the unique structure of the composite heating plate the RET® control-visc minimises the loss through eddy currents when heating and stirring. The integrated high-tech insulation optimises the heat transfer into the medium by minimising thermal losses. The built-in heating foil ensures an even temperature allocation on the heating plate.
The stainless steel surface of the composite heating plate enables the most efficient heat transfer into the medium and results in the fastest possible heating of the sample. The RET® control-visc white offers a ceramic coated heating plate. The white surface helps to recognise colour changes of fluids in a glass vessel.
The device comes with a coated and sealed housing which protects liquids from entering into the magnetic stirrer. Overheating is prevented by several integrated technical features. In the case of a malfunction, the device shuts down automatically and shows the error code on the TFT display. The integrated safety features also allow for an unsupervised operation of the RET® control-visc. In case of a liquid overflow a built-in drainage protects the electronic components of the device. A lock function can prevent changes of set values.
The powerful magnetic stirrer comes with a high performance EC motor with 12W output and a high performance internal transformer providing efficient power.
The RET® control-visc continues the user-friendly tradition of operating the unit with two rotating knobs. The high-resolution display has easy to understand icons that allow for simple navigation through the menu, as well as allow for adjusting display settings.
The heart of the RET® control-visc is the ARM micro controller. The use of the ARM micro controller technology provides the intelligence of simple navigation, firmware update possibilities, weighing and torque trend measurement.
