Product information "IKA MINISTAR 80 digital Overhead Stirrer, up to 50 l, 80 Ncm, 0025004887"
At the upper end of the MICROSTAR/MINISTAR series stands the IKA MINISTAR 80 digital: 50 litres stirring volume per stirring position, 80 Ncm torque and a design for media of up to 60,000 mPas viscosity, at a speed range of 50 to 500 rpm.
For large and thick batches
With a nominal torque of 0.8 Nm and a maximum stirring shaft power of 42 watts, the unit handles batches at which the smaller MICROSTAR models reach their limit. The speed range ends at 500 rpm, lower than with the entry-level MINISTAR 20 digital, because at this torque and viscosity class stirring performance is more important than speed.
Identical in construction to MINISTAR 40, different gearing
Housing dimensions (70 x 193 x 147 mm) and weight (1.72 kg) correspond exactly to the MINISTAR 40 digital, and the two models differ only in the internal gearing between speed and torque. The connected load of 69 watts, protection class IP 54 and operation via rotary knob and LED display are identical across the entire digital series. For setting up on reaction vessels of larger volume, additional stand accessories are available if required.
Accessories for large batches
With stirring volumes of up to 50 litres, suitable accessories from the current range pay off. In addition to the anchor stirrer with beaker scraper for plastic vessels, the range includes dissolver and disc stirrers for high shear forces as well as helical stirrers for thick, non-Newtonian media. Telescopic and base plate stands as well as cross clamps are available for mounting, and for personal protection at an open vessel, additionally a separately available stirring shaft guard R 301 with its own stand holder. For the regulated sector, factory calibration certificates and IQ/OQ documentation are also available, as is the EU declaration of conformity from the downloads area of the product documentation. Anyone who regularly works with plastic vessels additionally secures the stability of the set-up by using a base plate stand instead of a slim telescopic stand.
Typical applications
- Stirring large batches of up to 50 litres in the pilot laboratory
- Mixing highly viscous media of up to 60,000 mPas
- Processes with high torque requirements at low speed
- Transition from laboratory to pilot plant scale
