Product information "IKA EUROSTAR 20 overhead stirrer with high-speed control and TFT display, up to 6000 rpm, 0020105161"
The IKA EUROSTAR 20 high-speed control overhead stirrer (MPN 0020105161) represents the most technologically advanced level of compact high-speed laboratory stirrers. With a reduction in space requirements of up to 23 per cent compared to older generations of equipment, this unit offers high functional density within a minimal footprint. Designed for demanding mixing, dispersing and emulsifying tasks in a B2B laboratory environment, it processes sample volumes of up to 20 litres (based on water) and handles viscosities of up to 10,000 mPas. It is suitable for rheological investigations, ultra-fine emulsions and documented scaling processes.
Within the EUROSTAR series, the Model 20 high speed control combines the wide speed range of the Model 20 high speed digital (150 to 6,000 rpm) with the sensor technology of the control series: TFT display, absolute torque and temperature measurement, and reversible rotation direction, though without Wi-Fi and with a wired Ethernet connection only.
Torque monitoring and integrated viscosity calculation
The metrological heart of the control series is an integrated torque sensor, which enables torque monitoring with an accuracy of ±1 Ncm. Based on these measured values, the internal microprocessor calculates the viscosity of the medium and displays the viscosity in mPas on the graphic display. Thanks to the electronic speed control in the high-speed range from 150 to 6,000 revolutions per minute, the brushless DC motor adapts dynamically to load changes.
Advanced process functions and Scope of delivery
The EUROSTAR 20 high speed control features an integrated temperature measurement function (via PT1000 interface), a rotation direction that can be reversed at the touch of a button (anti-clockwise/clockwise rotation), and a programmable interval mode. The R 6000 precision stirring shaft (length 280 mm, maximum immersion depth 220 mm), included in the Scope of delivery, ensures the system is ready for immediate use. A lock button protects the system against accidental changes to parameters, whilst an integrated timer and a counter function support scheduled test series.
Industry 4.0 network integration and robust housing
With USB-C, RS232 and Ethernet interfaces, the overhead stirrer can be connected to control computers and automated and validated via the labworldsoft laboratory software. The housing, made from coated cast aluminium and robust thermoplastic, meets protection class IP 54. The brushless DC drive operates with virtually no wear, is whisper-quiet (52 dBA) and is designed for a 100 per cent duty cycle in continuous operation.
Typical applications
- Rheological investigations and ultra-fine emulsions with real-time viscosity display at speeds of up to 6,000 revolutions per minute
- High-speed dispersion with simultaneous temperature monitoring via PT1000, for example with temperature-sensitive emulsions
- Processes requiring reversible rotation to re-mix deposits on the supplied R 6000 stirring shaft
- Documented scale-up trials with connection to labworldsoft via Ethernet, if no Wi-Fi is required in the laboratory
