IKA ICC control IB R RO 15 pro Immersion Circulator Package, 25 l Stainless Steel Bath with Magnetic Stirrer, up to 130 °C, 0010006736

Fifteen vessels on a single plate, all rotating at the same speed: That is the task of the IKA RO 15. The multi-position magnetic stirrer without heating accommodates 15 stirring positions on a stainless steel surface measuring 280 x 470 mm, with a spacing of 90 mm between the positions. Each station can hold up to 0.4 l of water, with speeds ranging from 0 to 1200 rpm. According to IKA, the variation between stirring stations is 0 per cent, and batch analyses are carried out under reproducible conditions.One speed for all positionsThe coil drive operates wear-free and silently. According to IKA, the rotational speeds at all stirring points remain constant even under load changes. Settings are adjusted via a membrane keypad in increments of 10 rpm. The direction of rotation can be reversed, an error code display reports faults, and the unit is suitable for continuous operation. Stirring rods 25 to 30 mm in length are used, for example IKAFLON 25 or 30 in round, elliptical and cross shapes.Weight, load capacity and cleaningWeighing 8.627 kg, the RO 15 is significantly heavier than the RO 5, which weighs 3.66 kg; however, the platform can support up to 15 kg instead of 5 kg. The design is enclosed and compact; the surface is easy to clean, and according to IKA, the design protects against the ingress of liquids. The protection class is IP 40 in accordance with DIN EN 60529. In Eco Mode, the surface remains cooler. The unit’s power consumption is 36 W, and the mains connection is rated for 100 to 240 V.Typical applicationsBatch testing with up to 15 parallel runs under reproducible conditionsDissolution and suspension series with the same stirring intensity in all vesselsContinuous operation over extended periods, for which the drive is designedComparison of several concentrations or formulations in a single runRO 15 in comparisonThe RO 15 is suitable for laboratories that regularly run series with more than five samples. For smaller series, the RO 5 is sufficient. If the samples need to be heated simultaneously, the IKA RT 5, with 175 W heating power and a maximum temperature of 120 °C, is the right choice, although it has five positions instead of 15.ModelStirring positionsPlateHeatingMax. loadWeightRO 15 (this unit)15280 x 470 mmNo15 kg8.627 kgRO 55120 x 470 mmno5 kg3.66 kgRT 55110 x 495 mm175 W, up to 120 °C5 kg4 kgTechnical detailsNumber of mixing points15Spacer spacing90 mmSpeed variation between stirring points0 %Max. mixing volume per mixing point (H2O)0.4 lMaximum load15 kgSpeed adjustment10 rpm incrementsSpeed range0 to 1200 rpmStirrer rod length25 to 30 mmBase materialStainless steel 1.4301Base dimensions280 x 470 mmDimensions (W x H x D)280 x 60 x 570 mmWeight8.627 kgPermissible ambient temperature range5 to 40 °CPermissible relative humidity80 %Protection classIP 40 (DIN EN 60529)Mains connection100 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz, power consumption 36 WDC voltage / current consumption24 V DC / 1500 mAScope of delivery1 x IKA RO 15 magnetic stirrer1 x removable transparent anti-slip filmMagnetic stir bars are not included.
