IKA EUROSTAR 400 control Overhead Stirrer, up to 150 l, 400 Ncm, 0004214100

Product information "IKA EUROSTAR 400 control Overhead Stirrer, up to 150 l, 400 Ncm, 0004214100"

The EUROSTAR 400 control is the fully-equipped version of the most powerful classic EUROSTAR model, with a mixing capacity of 150 l and a torque of 400 Ncm, utilising the same mechanical components as its digital counterpart, plus a TFT display, a detachable WiCo controller and a connection for external PT1000 temperature measurement. For pilot plants where the temperature and torque curves of large batches need to be documented, the control model is the more suitable choice compared to the simpler digital unit. Those who do not require the WiCo controller can opt for the structurally identical EUROSTAR 400 digital and save on the additional electronics.

WiCo controller and temperature measurement on a large scale

The WiCo wireless controller transmits over a range of up to 150 metres, depending on the building layout, which is particularly useful for large mixing stations where the main unit is not directly accessible. Using the H 67.60 stainless steel temperature sensor included in the Scope of delivery, the unit measures temperatures between -10 and 350 degrees Celsius with a resolution of 0.1 K; the torque display shows a trend value for monitoring changes in viscosity. RS232 and micro-USB interfaces record the parameters via labworldsoft.

Power, design and battery

The brushless DC motor draws 220 watts and delivers up to 176 watts to the stirring shaft. In range I, the stirrer delivers up to 400 Ncm at speeds between 6 and 400 rpm; in range II, the speed reaches up to 2,000 rpm with a maximum of 80 Ncm. The chuck accommodates stirring shafts from 3 to 16 mm; measuring 114 x 345 x 268 mm and weighing 8.8 kg, the unit is slightly larger and heavier than the digital model due to the additional WiCo electronics. The WiCo controller contains a permanently fitted lithium-polymer cell with 3.7 V and 7.4 Wh, which is housed within the unit and cannot be removed separately. The protection rating is IP 42. Additional voltage variants of 115 V and 100 V are available for locations outside the European 230 V mains supply.

Typical applications

  • Documented stirring of large batches up to 150 l with temperature and torque curves
  • Remote control via the detachable WiCo controller at hard-to-reach stirring points
  • Powerful mixing of viscous to highly viscous media up to 100,000 mPas
  • Process development in pilot plants with RS232/USB connection to labworldsoft

IKA R 1330 Anchor Stirrer 0002022300
IKA R 1330 Anchor Stirrer, Ø 45 mm, Length 350 mm, for EUROSTAR and RW 20, 0002022300
Herstellernummer: 0002022300

The IKA R 1330 anchor stirrer (MPN 0002022300) is a stirring element made of stainless steel 1.4571 for overhead stirrers. It has a stirrer diameter of 45 mm and a shaft with a diameter of 8 mm and a length of 350 mm. It is intended for medium to highly viscous media that are stirred at low speeds, up to a maximum of 1,000 rpm.A polymer batch that sits thick in the vessel, or a mixture with a high mineral content that is to stay evenly distributed: the R 1330 is intended for tasks like these.Tangential flow of the anchor stirrer with a high shear rate at the edgeThe anchor stirrer moves the medium tangentially, that is, in the circumferential direction around the stirrer axis, and not axially like a propeller stirrer. The shear rate is high at the edge of the stirrer, and few deposits are left on the vessel wall. With viscous batches this matters, because material on the wall is withdrawn from the mixing process.It is used at low speeds. The stirrer diameter of 45 mm determines the minimum width of the opening of the stirring vessel.Typical applicationsHomogenising medium to highly viscous liquids in the laboratoryStirring in polymer reactionsEvenly distributing high mineral content in liquidsBatches where little material should be deposited on the vessel wallWorking at low speeds on an overhead stirrerSuitable for IKA overhead stirrers with an 8 mm chuckThe shaft with a diameter of 8 mm fits into chucks for an 8 mm shaft. These include the IKA overhead stirrers EUROSTAR 20, 40, 60, 100, 200 and 400 (digital and control), RW 20 digital as well as MINISTAR, MICROSTAR and NANOSTAR. At LT Laborhandel you will find EUROSTAR 20, 40, 60, 100, 200 and 400 digital, RW 20 digital, MINISTAR 20, 40 and 80 digital, MICROSTAR 7.5 digital and NANOSTAR 7.5 digital.Whether a stirrer drives the anchor stirrer safely in your medium depends on the viscosity and on the torque of the stirrer. The more viscous the batch, the more torque is required. Therefore check before purchase whether your device is sufficient for your batch and whether the chuck accepts a shaft of 8 mm.MaterialThe wetted parts of the R 1330 are made of stainless steel 1.4571. The weight of the stirrer is 0.151 kg.Technical detailsTypeAnchor stirrerStirrer diameter45 mmShaft diameter8 mmShaft length350 mmMaximum speed1,000 rpmFlowtangentialSuitable formedium to highly viscous mediaMaterial, wetted partsStainless steel 1.4571Weight0.151 kgMountChuck for 8 mm shaftScope of delivery1 x IKA R 1330 anchor stirrer (MPN 0002022300).

IKA R 301 Plexiglas stirrer shaft guard, length adjustable 190–310 mm, 0002603000
IKA R 301 Plexiglas stirrer shaft guard, length adjustable 190–310 mm, 0002603000
Herstellernummer: 0002603000

The IKA R 301 stirrer shaft guard (MPN 0002603000) is an essential mechanical safety component for the safe and accident-free operation of laboratory overhead stirrers. During intensive mixing, dispersing or homogenisation processes, considerable kinetic forces act on rotating stirrer shafts. This professional shaft guard forms a physical barrier that reliably protects laboratory staff from accidental contact with the rotating parts. It effectively prevents clothing, hair or laboratory gloves from being drawn in, making the safety device a key component in risk assessments and ensuring compliance with strict national and international health and safety guidelines. Stepless length adjustment for flexible experimental set-ups From a process engineering perspective, the R 301 model excels thanks to its high degree of telescopic flexibility. The guard can be adjusted axially steplessly within a length range of 190 to 310 mm and locked into place precisely. This variable geometry allows for precise adaptation to different shaft lengths, vessel heights and varying immersion depths of the stirring elements. Laboratories thus benefit from a highly adaptable protective system that can be flexibly integrated into changing experimental set-ups without compromising workplace ergonomics. Unrestricted process control thanks to a high-quality Plexiglas matrix The cylindrical protective screen is made entirely from a high-purity, mechanically stable Plexiglas matrix. This material combines minimal weight with outstanding optical clarity. Laboratory staff are able to monitor the mixture, transient flow patterns, phase transitions or any boiling delays in the sample vessel at all times, with absolutely no restrictions and without any risk of error. At the same time, the Plexiglas structure offers effective protection against transient media splashes and can be cleaned quickly and without leaving any residue.
