Product information "IKA R 1405 propeller, Ø 45 mm, for EUROSTAR 20 & T 50, 0001289800"
The perfect combination of high speed and gentle sample handling: the IKA R 1405 propeller
In modern process engineering, chemical synthesis, cosmetics development and demanding food technology, laboratory technicians and researchers face a physical dilemma on a daily basis: how can low- to medium-viscosity liquids be mixed quickly and homogeneously at extremely high speeds without the resulting frictional energy causing thermal degradation of the sample? Many conventional stirring elements and dispersing tools generate enormous shear forces during high-speed applications, which inevitably lead to a rapid and uncontrolled rise in temperature within the medium. For temperature-sensitive biological samples, volatile solvents or complex emulsions that would break down immediately if exposed to heat, this is an absolute deal-breaker. IKA has developed the highly specialised R 1405 propeller (MPN 0001289800) specifically for this critical set of requirements. This smart stirring tool offers you the unique opportunity to operate at maximum speeds whilst simultaneously reducing the thermal stress on your valuable product to an absolute, barely measurable minimum.
Top-class fluid dynamics: the axial flow pattern
The physical secret behind the outstanding efficiency of the IKA R 1405 propeller, which has a precisely calculated diameter of 45 millimetres, lies in its specific aerodynamic blade geometry. Unlike radial agitators, which hurl the medium against the vessel wall with brute force, generating significant frictional heat, this propeller creates a purely axial flow pattern. This means that the liquid flows are pumped through the entire vessel volume parallel to the agitator shaft, from top to bottom (or vice versa, depending on the direction of rotation). The result is a massive circulation capacity with surprisingly low shear forces. This gentle yet highly effective circulation reliably prevents solids from settling at the bottom of the vessel (suspension) and ensures excellent, rapid heat exchange within the sample. The molecular chains in your liquid are gently mixed rather than being mechanically broken up, which preserves the viscosity and texture of the end product to premium quality.
Unrivalled system compatibility: one tool, two device worlds
Another outstanding economic advantage of the IKA R 1405 propeller is its smart cross-compatibility within the IKA instrument portfolio. Laboratory budgets are often limited, and the purchase of dedicated accessories for each individual base unit unnecessarily ties up financial resources and valuable storage space. The R 1405 ingeniously bridges the gap between two completely different classes of equipment. On the one hand, it is the perfect stirring element for the high-speed laboratory stirrers of the EUROSTAR 20 high speed series (digital and control). On the other hand, it can be seamlessly coupled as an alternative mixing head to the high-performance T 50 digital dispersing drive (as an alternative to the R 1402 dissolver). (Please note: to mechanically connect the propeller head to the respective motor, you will need the appropriate intermediate shaft. For the EUROSTAR 20, this is the R 6000 precision stirring shaft; for the T 50 drive, it is the R 50 high-speed stirring shaft. These shafts act as adaptors and power transmitters). Thanks to this enormous versatility, you can significantly increase the utilisation (return on investment) of your existing IKA equipment.
Scalability from laboratory to pilot scale
When a new product is being developed in the research and development (R&D) department, this usually takes place in small beakers. If the formulation works, the process must be scaled up to pilot scale quickly. The R 1405 propeller supports this critical scale-up process perfectly. With a specified, exceptionally wide operating range from 0.25 litres up to a massive 30 litres (based on the viscosity of water), a single tool covers the entire journey from the initial small-scale feasibility study in a test tube right through to the production of a pre-production batch in a large stainless-steel laboratory reactor. You do not need to change the geometry of the agitator as the volume increases, which ensures the reproducibility of your experimental data and drastically minimises sources of error during scale-up (scale-up factor).
Material quality, cleaning and integration into your QM system
Manufactured from high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the IKA R 1405 propeller effortlessly withstands aggressive chemicals, harsh solvents, acids and alkalis. The smooth surfaces and flow-optimised edges without blind spots ensure that no product residues can become trapped. The tool can be cleaned quickly, safely and with absolutely no residue after use, which is essential in GMP-regulated environments, in pharmaceutical research or in the food industry to prevent dangerous cross-contamination. Choosing this original IKA accessory means investing in decades of trouble-free service life, in absolutely reproducible mixing results and in the highest level of process reliability during every audit. It is the ultimate tool for users who want to get the maximum mixing performance out of their IKA high-speed drives without compromising on sample integrity.

Latest-generation high-speed mixing technology The IKA EUROSTAR 20 high-speed control overhead stirrer (MPN 0020105161) represents the most technologically advanced level of compact high-speed laboratory stirrers. With a significant reduction in space requirements of up to 23 per cent compared to older generations of equipment, this system delivers maximum functional density within a minimal footprint. Designed for demanding mixing, dispersing and emulsifying tasks in a B2B laboratory environment, this powerhouse processes sample volumes of up to 20 litres (based on water) and effortlessly handles viscosities of up to 10,000 mPas. It represents the ideal process engineering system solution for intensive rheological investigations, ultra-fine emulsions and fully documented scaling processes. High-precision torque monitoring and integrated viscosity calculation At the metrological heart of the control series lies an integrated high-end torque sensor, which enables transient torque monitoring with an accuracy of ±1 Ncm. Based on these continuous measurements, the internal microprocessor calculates the exact viscosity of the medium and displays the viscosity in mPas in real time directly on the graphic display. Thanks to the sophisticated electronic speed control within the extremely wide high-speed range of 150 to 6,000 revolutions per minute, the brushless DC motor adapts dynamically to load changes. The programmed stirring speed therefore remains absolutely constant, even in the event of transient changes in the sample’s structure. Advanced process functions and integrated scope of supply From a process engineering perspective, the EUROSTAR 20 high speed control provides tools for seamless process control. The system features an integrated temperature measurement function (via PT1000 interface), a rotation direction that can be reversed at the touch of a button (counter-clockwise/clockwise rotation) for transient disruption of flow profiles, and a programmable interval mode. The precision stirring shaft R 6000 (length: 280 mm, maximum immersion depth: 220 mm), included in the scope of delivery, ensures the system is ready for immediate use. A mechanical lock button protects the system against accidental parameter changes, whilst an integrated timer and a counter function support precisely scheduled test series. Industry 4.0 network integration and robust housing The system’s infrastructure architecture is consistently designed for integration into digitalised laboratory networks. Equipped with USB-C, RS232 and Ethernet interfaces, the overhead stirrer can be seamlessly connected to control computers and fully automated and validated via the labworldsoft laboratory software ®. The mechanically robust housing consists of a combination of coated cast aluminium and sturdy thermoplastic, which meets the demanding IP 54 protection rating. The brushless DC drive operates with virtually no wear, is whisper-quiet (52 dBA) and is qualified for an unrestricted 100% duty cycle in continuous industrial operation.
