IKA MICROSTAR 7.5 control Overhead Stirrer, up to 5 l, 7.5 Ncm, 0025001984

Product information "IKA MICROSTAR 7.5 control Overhead Stirrer, up to 5 l, 7.5 Ncm, 0025001984"

Five litres of water at a torque of 7.5 Ncm mark the smallest power level of the IKA MICROSTAR control series, but in return the stirrer turns at up to 2,000 revolutions per minute, faster than any other model in this family. For low- to medium-viscosity samples of up to 4,000 mPas, such as buffers, aqueous solutions or low-viscosity emulsions, the MICROSTAR 7.5 control is the right choice when speed matters more than volume.

LCD display instead of indicator light

The difference from the digital series of the same power class lies above all in the display and the additional functions. The MICROSTAR 7.5 control shows speed, time and temperature on a glass display in LCD technology, supplemented by a timer from 0 to 6,000 minutes. Using the supplied stainless steel temperature sensor H 67.60, the unit measures the sample temperature between -10 and 350 degrees Celsius and shows it directly on the display, an external PT1000 measurement that the digital models lack entirely. In addition, a torque display runs on the screen, although only as a trend and not as a calibrated absolute measurement, helpful for roughly detecting a change in the viscosity of the sample during a stirring series. Micro-USB and an integrated WPAN interface (Bluetooth) connect the stirrer to labworldsoft, IKA's measurement and control software.

Mechanics for daily changeover

The unit is held on the stand by a boss rod with 13 mm diameter and 160 mm length, and the chuck accepts stirring shafts from 0.5 to 8.2 mm and can be changed with the supplied chuck key. The hollow shaft with an internal diameter of 8.5 mm can be passed through at standstill, which is practical with stirring elements that are inserted from above. The brushless DC motor draws 32 watts and delivers up to 15.7 watts at the stirring shaft, at a duty cycle of 100 percent in continuous operation. If the stirring tool runs with imbalance, vibration monitoring detects this automatically and switches the unit off.

Operation, housing and ambient conditions

The speed is set via a rotary knob, with an accuracy of ±1 rpm and a deviation of at most ±1 percent above 300 rpm. A key lock prevents a running setting from being changed accidentally, for example when cleaning the unit. The housing is made of coated cast aluminium and thermoplastic, chemical-resistant and protected against dust and splashing water to protection class IP 54. Permissible ambient temperatures are 5 to 40 degrees Celsius at a relative humidity of up to 80 percent, values that are sufficient for most laboratory and pilot plant rooms.

Typical applications

  • Homogenising small batches in research and development
  • Temperature-controlled stirring of reaction solutions with PT1000 monitoring
  • Stirring low- to medium-viscosity samples at high speeds
  • Laboratory experiments with documented speed and temperature curves via labworldsoft

Selection guide: the MICROSTAR/MINISTAR series at a glance

Twelve models make up the IKA MICROSTAR and MINISTAR series, six in the control version and six in the identically constructed digital version. The number in the model name indicates the maximum torque in Ncm in each case, and control and digital differ in display and additional functions, not in power class.

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.

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.
