IKA EUROSTAR 200 digital overhead stirrer, laboratory stirrer, 0003990000

The IKA EUROSTAR 200 digital overhead stirrer represents an extremely powerful, technologically advanced system solution for demanding stirring and mixing tasks in chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories, as well as pilot plants. When processing highly viscous media, dense suspensions or large volumes of up to 100 litres, the constant maintenance of shear dynamics and torque transmission is the primary criterion for physically preventing separation or incomplete homogenisation. This robust laboratory stirrer features microprocessor-controlled speed regulation and guarantees full compliance with strict process specifications and SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) during validation processes.

Drive dynamics and kinetics of the two-speed gearbox

The mechanical heart of the EUROSTAR 200 digital is based on a highly efficient laboratory drive that delivers an exceptionally high torque of up to 200 Ncm. To both knead highly viscous substances powerfully whilst being gentle on the material and to intensively agitate low-viscosity media, the stirrer is equipped with a switchable two-speed gearbox. In first gear, the speed range extends from 6 to 400 revolutions per minute to meet maximum torque requirements, whilst second gear offers speeds from 30 to 2,000 revolutions per minute for high-speed dispersion and mixing applications. An integrated, cybernetic speed control system continuously compares setpoint and actual values and automatically compensates for changes in sample viscosity during the reaction process in real time.

Material-science-grade durability and a through-shaft stirrer

The structural robustness of the stirrer is defined by a sleek, ergonomic housing with high-quality surface finishes, which provides optimum protection for the internal control electronics. An outstanding design feature is the push-through stirrer shaft: The stirring tools can be flexibly pushed upwards through the housing, which drastically simplifies the changing of mixing vessels, height adjustments or sterile handling within closed systems. An electronic safety shut-off reacts immediately in the event of overload or blockage of the stirring tool to reliably prevent mechanical damage to the drive and overheating of the sample medium.

Ergonomic operating concept and occupational safety

For scientific quality management, the EUROSTAR 200 digital offers a minimalist and fail-safe operating concept via a high-contrast digital LCD display that precisely shows the target speed. Stepless speed adjustment is carried out via a haptically optimised rotary knob on the front of the unit, which allows for fine-grained adjustment even when wearing laboratory gloves. Safety circuits for maximum temperature and torque limitation, as well as overload protection, are fully integrated to ensure unattended continuous operation in the laboratory. The housing design complies with protection class IP 40 and allows seamless mechanical integration into standard stand systems without restricting the workplace’s infrastructural flexibility.

Individual requirements & accessories

To ensure you can fully utilise the IKA EUROSTAR 200 digital’s full performance range for volumes of up to 100 litres, a stable mechanical mounting using an original IKA telescopic stand and a heavy-duty cross-coupling is essential. Depending on the physical properties of the medium and the desired axial or radial flow pattern, we stock a wide range of stirring shafts (e.g. propeller stirrers, anchor stirrers or dissolver discs) made from stainless steel or PTFE. For viscosity-sensitive test series, we are happy to assist you with the process engineering design of the tools. Please make use of our procurement service to put together your stirring system.
