Product information "IKA MICROSTAR 30 digital Overhead Stirrer, up to 20 l, 30 Ncm, 0025004884"
Anyone who has to stir a batch volume of 20 litres with media of up to 20,000 mPas viscosity needs more torque than speed. The IKA MICROSTAR 30 digital delivers up to 30 Ncm at the stirring shaft at a speed range of 50 to 500 rpm, making it the highest-torque version of the MICROSTAR series.
Constant torque at lower speed
The speed range only extends up to 500 rpm, but in return the torque remains constant up to 20,000 mPas viscosity, considerably more than the MICROSTAR 15 digital with 8,000 mPas. The motor power is unchanged at 32 watts input and 22 watts output, and the nominal torque rises to 0.3 Nm. For thicker suspensions, pastes and higher-viscosity reaction batches in the laboratory, the MICROSTAR 30 digital is the right choice within the MICROSTAR range.
Same design, more power
Externally, the MICROSTAR 30 digital differs hardly at all from its smaller siblings: 60 x 173 x 126 mm, 1.26 kg weight, boss rod mounting with 13 mm diameter and 160 mm length. The stirring tool is attached via a chuck with a clamping range of 0.5 to 8.2 mm, and the hollow shaft with an internal diameter of 8.5 mm can be passed through at standstill. Protection class IP 54 and the ambient temperature range of 5 to 40 °C apply as for all digital models of the series.
Stirring elements for higher viscosity
For higher-viscosity batches, the accessories range offers above all anchor and helical stirrers, which engage the medium closer to the vessel wall than a simple propeller stirrer. For the MICROSTAR series, the helical stirrer R 3003 and the anchor stirrers R 1330 and R 1331 are available, among others. In addition, LT Laborhandel carries base plate stands, telescopic stands and cross clamps for mounting, as well as a separate stirring shaft guard R 301 with stand holder for personal protection at an open vessel. An EU declaration of conformity for the unit is available in the downloads area of the product documentation.
Typical applications
- Stirring batches of up to 20 litres with higher viscosity
- Mixing pastes and suspensions in formulation development
- Reaction batches that become thicker in the course of the process
- Quality control of viscous intermediate products
