IKA ROTAVISC SBS me-vi HELI Complete rotary viscometer, robust ball bearing system, 0010013683
The IKA ROTAVISC SBS me-vi HELI Complete rotational viscometer is a highly optimised mechatronic system solution, offering exceptional mechanical robustness, designed for the precise rheological characterisation and viscosity determination of medium-viscosity, pasty and viscous media. This turnkey complete system has been specifically developed for intensive, continuous use in the chemical industry, in cosmetics and pharmaceutical production, and in the field of paint, varnish and polymer research. When handling demanding substance classes such as creams, gels, adhesives, resins or emulsions, the precise measurement of temperature-dependent flow behaviour is the primary criterion for optimising formulations whilst minimising damage to the material and for controlling manufacturing processes reliably. Maximum mechanical resilience thanks to the SBS steel ball bearing The key material and design feature of the “SBS” model series (Steel Ball Bearing System) is the elimination of the traditional, delicate tip bearing. Instead, this viscometer features a high-precision, extremely robust steel ball bearing system. In the demanding day-to-day laboratory environment and when handling high sample volumes in multi-user operations, this mechanical system architecture effectively protects the instrument from damage caused by transverse forces, such as those that can arise when heavy spindles are rapidly rotated in and out. This minimises the risk of transient axial errors, which significantly extends the service life of the measuring head and ensures long-term calibration stability. Prevention of channeling via the motorised HELIPATH drive The process-engineering foundation for the investigation of non-flowing or viscoelastic phases is provided by the motorised HELIPATH stand system included in the package. With structurally viscous or thixotropic samples, standard rotating spindles tend, during steady-state operation, to cut a gap in the medium (known as channeling). This leads to a transient loss of contact with the medium and distorts the measurement data. The HELIPATH drive reliably eliminates this phenomenon by moving the viscometer head continuously and slowly up and down vertically during the measurement cycle. The rotating T-spindle thereby traces a three-dimensional helix (screw line) and constantly cuts into fresh, undisturbed sample material. Intelligent measurement data analysis and full GLP compliance The ROTAVISC me-vi’s electronic control system covers the medium viscosity range continuously and guarantees a measurement accuracy of plus/minus 1 per cent of the full measurement range, with a reproducibility of plus/minus 0.2 per cent. A high-contrast, large 4.3-inch TFT colour display visualises all transient rheological data as well as the torque trend in real time. As the viscosity of fluid-mechanical systems is strongly influenced by temperature, the integrated PT1000 sensor ensures seamless thermodynamic monitoring directly within the medium. Via the integrated USB and RS232 interfaces, the entire system can be fully digitised, enabling legally compliant, GLP-compliant documentation of all quality processes.

IKA ROTATEMP lo-vi Package, viscometer set including heating system (300 °C), low-viscosity, 0010014004
Precision at high temperatures for low-viscosity media: IKA ROTATEMP lo-vi Package The IKA ROTATEMP lo-vi Package (MPN 0010014004) is the ideal system solution for determining the viscosity of low-viscosity substances at high temperatures. Where standard viscometers reach their limits – because the medium is solid at room temperature (e.g. waxes) or only exhibits the desired flow properties when heated (e.g. certain oils, hot-melt adhesives) – this set delivers reliable data. It combines the high-precision ROTAVISC lo-vi viscometer with the powerful ROTATEMP high-temperature oven. “lo-vi” for the low viscosity range The key difference compared to other packages is the measuring head: the ROTAVISC lo-vi (“Low Viscosity”) is specially calibrated for the measuring range from 1 to 6,000,000 mPas. This ensures the highest accuracy, particularly in the lower range, where even the slightest differences matter. The large 4.3" TFT display guides you intuitively through the measurement, shows all parameters and assists with levelling. Temperature control up to 300 °C The ROTATEMP oven included in the set ensures the perfect environment for your sample. It heats the medium quickly and in a controlled manner up to 300 °C. Thanks to advanced control technology, temperature fluctuations are minimised, which is essential for reproducible viscosity measurements. Rapid heating (approx. 16 minutes to maximum temperature, depending on the medium) boosts efficiency in your day-to-day laboratory work. Smart integration and documentation For comprehensive rheological investigations, the viscometer and oven can be linked via the labworldsoft ® software (optional).

IKA ROTATEMP SBS me-vi Package, viscometer set (SBS bearing), 300 °C, 0010013993
Maximum robustness for high-temperature viscometry: IKA ROTATEMP SBS me-vi Package The IKA ROTATEMP SBS me-vi Package (MPN 0010013993) is the specialised turnkey solution for industrial laboratory environments where not only precision but also extreme mechanical resilience is essential. Whilst standard viscometers use sensitive bearings that can be damaged by improper handling or frequent spindle changes, this package is designed for robustness. It has been specially developed to meet the challenges of materials testing (asphalt, bitumen), the petrochemical industry and the polymer industry, where samples need to be measured at temperatures of up to 300 °C and throughput is high. SBS technology: Steel Ball Bearing At the heart of the measuring head (ROTAVISC SBS me-vi) is the special bearing system for the rotating shaft. The abbreviation ‘SBS’ stands for Steel Ball Bearing. Why is this important? Mechanical robustness: Conventional viscometers often use a sapphire bearing (“jewel bearing”). This is extremely low-friction but sensitive to impacts (e.g. when attaching the spindle) or lateral forces. The SBS bearing, on the other hand, copes much better with rougher handling in the demanding day-to-day laboratory environment. Durability: Particularly in industrial laboratories, where many different users work with the instrument, SBS technology minimises downtime caused by bearing damage. Applications: This technology is ideally suited to measurements of very high viscosities or ‘difficult’ samples where high torques occur. Perfect conditions up to 300 °C: the ROTATEMP oven To make substances such as bitumen or hot-melt adhesives measurable, they must be liquefied with precision. The ROTATEMP high-temperature oven included in the set performs this task with flying colours. It heats the sample chamber quickly and in a controlled manner up to 300 °C. The intelligent control technology offers decisive advantages: No overshoot: The oven reaches the target temperature precisely without briefly exceeding it. This protects your sample from thermal degradation. Speed: The maximum temperature is reached in just approx. 16 minutes (depending on the medium). Safety: The housing is insulated so that the heat stays where it belongs – in the sample chamber. The ‘me-vi’ (Medium Viscosity) measurement range Despite its robust construction, the ROTAVISC SBS me-vi offers an impressive measurement range. It covers the medium viscosity range from 100 to 40,000,000 mPas. The large 4.3" TFT display clearly shows all parameters (viscosity, temperature, torque, time). A digital spirit level helps you to align the instrument correctly, which is essential for reliable measurements. Documentation and automation In the quality control of building materials or polymers, data traceability is often a regulatory requirement. The system is equipped with USB and RS-232 interfaces. Connect the instrument to a PC and use the optional labworldsoft software ® to: Run temperature ramps fully automatically. Record the flow behaviour as the temperature cools or rises. Generate rheograms and save them in an audit-proof format. Everything in one package This ‘Solution’ package makes procurement easy. You receive a fully integrated system: Viscosity meter: ROTAVISC SBS me-vi (robust SBS bearing). Heating system: ROTATEMP oven. Mechanics: The ROTASTAND stand system connects the oven and viscometer to form a stable unit. Accessories: SP set-2 spindle set and PT 100.8 temperature probe are included.

IKA ROTAVISC hi-vi II HELI Complete Rotational Viscometer, 0010013764
The IKA ROTAVISC hi-vi II HELI Complete rotational viscometer is a highly advanced, mechatronic system solution for the precise rheological characterisation and viscosity determination of extremely high-viscosity, pasty and non-flowing media. This turnkey complete system has been specifically validated for demanding applications in the chemical industry, cosmetics and pharmaceutical production, as well as in building materials and polymer research. When handling complex classes of substances such as creams, gels, pastes, rubber or viscous resins, the precise measurement of flow behaviour is the primary criterion for optimising formulations whilst minimising damage to the material, controlling production processes reliably and consistently meeting the highest quality standards. Prevention of channeling via the motorised HELIPATH system The process engineering foundation of this specialised ‘HELI’ version is the integrated, motorised stand system. With viscoelastic or highly thixotropic samples, standard rotating spindles tend, during continuous operation, to cut a channel through the medium (known as channel formation), causing the spindle to lose contact with the actual sample matrix and generating transient measurement errors. The HELIPATH drive reliably eliminates this phenomenon: it moves the viscometer head continuously and slowly up and down vertically during the measurement. The rotating T-spindle thereby traces a three-dimensional helix (screw line) through the medium and constantly cuts into fresh, undisturbed sample material. Maximum metrological precision and thermodynamic monitoring From a materials science perspective, the torque kinetics of the ‘hi-vi II’ classification covers the highest viscosity range and allows measurements up to a remarkable 320 million mPas. Torque measurement operates with outstanding accuracy of \pm1\ % of the full measurement range and a reproducibility of \pm0.2\ %. As the viscosity of a fluid mechanical phase is extremely strongly influenced by the ambient temperature, the system features a direct connection for a PT1000 temperature sensor. This enables seamless, real-time thermodynamic monitoring of the sample directly on the high-resolution 4.3-inch TFT display, allowing temperature-induced viscosity drifts to be compensated for whilst minimising damage to the material. Digital connectivity and advanced GLP compliance The ROTAVISC’s electronic system architecture guarantees seamless integration into modernised laboratory infrastructures. Via the integrated USB and RS232 interfaces, the instrument can be fully linked to the optional labworldsoft laboratory software ®, ensuring automated test plan control, transient data acquisition and GLP/GMP-compliant documentation of all rheological parameters. The intuitive user menu guides laboratory staff reliably through functions such as automatic spindle and collar recognition, user-specific ramp programmes and limit value monitoring, thereby reliably minimising operating errors in multi-user operation.

IKA CBC ROTAVISC SBS me-vi Package, viscometer set (cooling/heating), SBS bearing, 0010014031
Measuring viscosity in cold and hot conditions: The IKA CBC ROTAVISC SBS me-vi Package The IKA CBC ROTAVISC SBS me-vi Package (MPN 0010014031) is the ultimate all-in-one solution for laboratories that need to characterise the flow behaviour of substances across an extremely wide temperature range. Viscosity is not a constant; it is highly temperature-dependent. Many products – be it engine oil that must remain liquid in winter, salad dressing that must not set in the fridge, or hydraulic fluids – need to be tested at both sub-zero temperatures and in the heat. This package seamlessly combines the robust ROTAVISC SBS me-vi viscometer with the high-performance CBC 5 basic cooling and heating circulation thermostat. Active cooling and heating: the CBC 5 basic Unlike pure heating units (such as the ROTATEMP system), the CBC 5 basic thermostat included in the set offers full flexibility in both directions. With a powerful heating capacity of 2,500 watts and an active cooling capacity of 350 watts, it covers a temperature range from -25 °C to +200 °C. This is crucial for real-world stress tests: Cold tests: Analyse the temperature at which an oil becomes too viscous or an emulsion breaks down. Heat tests: Investigate the decrease in viscosity under process heat. Thanks to the powerful pressure and suction pumps, the temperature control medium (e.g. silicone oil) is circulated optimally, guaranteeing excellent temperature uniformity directly at the measuring cup. SBS bearings: Robustness for everyday industrial use The measuring head in this package is the “SBS” version of the ROTAVISC me-vi. “SBS” stands for Steel Ball Bearing. In contrast to the more delicate sapphire bearing (“jewel bearing”), this technology is extremely resistant to mechanical stress. Resilient: The bearing is significantly more tolerant of impacts or rough handling during spindle changes. Durable: Ideal for laboratories with high sample throughput or changing staff, as downtime due to bearing damage is minimised. Range of application: Perfect for the medium viscosity range (“me-vi”, 100 to 40,000,000 mPas), which covers typical applications such as varnishes, paints, oils or foodstuffs. Precision and ease of use The viscometer itself impresses with state-of-the-art features. The 4.3" TFT display keeps all measured values clearly in view. The menu navigation is intuitive and supports functions such as ramping and timer control. A digital spirit level assists with correct alignment. The measurement accuracy of ± 1 % and the repeatability of ± 0.2 % (F.S.) meet high quality standards. The complete package for rheology This set (“Solution”) eliminates the need for the complex assembly of individual components. IKA supplies a fully integrated system: Viscosity meter: ROTAVISC SBS me-vi. Thermostat: CBC 5 basic (bath thermostat).

IKA CBC ROTAVISC me-vi Package, viscometer set (cooling/heating), 0010014058
The universal all-in-one solution for temperature-dependent viscometry: the IKA CBC ROTAVISC me-vi Package The IKA CBC ROTAVISC me-vi Package (MPN 0010014058) is the answer to the most common requirement in rheological laboratories: “We need to measure various samples precisely at different temperatures.” Whether you need to test the storage stability of a cream at low temperatures, assess the workability of a paint at room temperature, or simulate the flow behaviour of hot-melt adhesive – this package makes it possible. It seamlessly combines the IKA ROTAVISC me-vi, the standard for medium viscosities, with the CBC 5 basic dynamic cooling and heating circulation bath. The “me-vi” range: the heart of viscometry The measuring head of this system is the ROTAVISC me-vi (“Medium Viscosity”). With an immense measuring range of 100 to 40,000,000 mPas, it covers precisely the range within which most industrial and chemical products fall. Typical applications include: Paints & Coatings: Determining spreadability and flow behaviour. Cosmetics & Pharmaceuticals: Analysis of the consistency of ointments, shampoos, lotions or toothpaste. Food: Quality control of mayonnaise, dairy products, chocolate and sauces. Chemicals: Characterisation of polymer solutions and adhesives. The instrument utilises a tried-and-tested sapphire bearing (‘jewel bearing’), which guarantees high sensitivity whilst ensuring a long service life when operated correctly. The measurement accuracy of ± 1 % and reproducibility of ± 0.2 % (relative to the full-scale value) ensure reliable data on which you can base your quality decisions. Master the climate: CBC 5 basic Viscosity is inextricably linked to temperature. A deviation of just 1 °C can lead to measurement errors of over 10 % for some oils or polymers. The CBC 5 basic circulating bath included in the set eliminates this uncertainty. It offers an extremely wide operating temperature range from -25 °C to +200 °C. Active cooling: Even if you ‘only’ want to measure at 20 °C, an active cooler is often necessary to dissipate the frictional heat from the spindle or to compensate for high ambient temperatures in summer. It also enables low-temperature testing (e.g. winter resistance of diesel or cosmetics). Powerful heating: With 2,500 watts, the unit heats the bath in a flash, minimising waiting times between different temperature settings. Excellent circulation: The powerful pressure and suction pump ensures vigorous mixing of the bath medium. This guarantees that the temperature at the measuring cup matches exactly the temperature shown on the display. An integrated system The major advantage of this ‘Solution’ package is its mechanical and thermal integration. The viscometer is not simply placed next to the thermostat, but is mounted directly above the bath using a special bracket. The measuring cup is immersed in the temperature-controlled liquid. This ensures optimum heat transfer without the losses that can occur with external hose temperature control. The system is compact, tidy and saves valuable space on the laboratory bench. Smart laboratory: ramping and documentation For modern R&D departments, static measurement is often not enough. You want to know: “How does my product change as it cools down?” Thanks to the USB and RS-232 interfaces on both devices (viscometer and thermostat), you can connect the system to a PC. Use the labworldsoft software ® (optional) to synchronise both devices. Fully automatic temperature ramps: Create programmes in which the thermostat follows a temperature curve whilst the viscometer continuously collects data. Live visualisation: See immediately on screen at which point a structure breaks down or curing begins. Data integrity: Save all measured values in a tamper-proof format. Focus on ease of use Despite the complex capabilities, operation is remarkably simple. The ROTAVISC’s 4.3" TFT display guides you intuitively through the menus. A digital spirit level assists with the precise horizontal alignment of the instrument. The Quick-Connector coupling enables spindles to be changed quickly with one hand.

IKA CBC ROTAVISC lo-vi Package, viscometer set (cooling/heating), low-viscosity, 0010014045
Precision for low-viscosity liquids in any climate: IKA CBC ROTAVISC lo-vi Package The IKA CBC ROTAVISC lo-vi Package (MPN 0010014045) is the specialised system solution for the rheological analysis of low-viscosity liquids under extreme temperature conditions. Whether you need to test the flow properties of aviation kerosene at sub-zero temperatures, simulate the viscosity of fruit juices at pasteurisation temperatures, or characterise the behaviour of low-viscosity silicone oils – this package delivers reliable data. It combines two top-of-the-range products from IKA to form a high-performance test station: the sensitive ROTAVISC lo-vi rotational viscometer and the CBC 5 basic dynamic cold and hot circulating bath. The specialist for low viscosities: ROTAVISC lo-vi Measurements in the low-viscosity range (e.g. water-like liquids) place particular demands on the measurement technology. The torques involved are minimal, which is why extremely sensitive bearings and sensor technology are required. The ROTAVISC lo-vi (“Low Viscosity”) is calibrated precisely for this purpose. With a measuring range of 1 to 6,000,000 mPas, it precisely detects even the slightest resistance. Thanks to its tried-and-tested measurement technology, the instrument delivers an accuracy of ± 1 % and a repeatability of ± 0.2 % of the full-scale value. The large 4.3" TFT display guides the user intuitively through the configuration. Features such as the digital spirit level for correct alignment or the ramp function for automated measurement sequences make the instrument the ideal partner for quality control and research. Temperature control from -25 °C to +200 °C: CBC 5 basic The viscosity of low-viscosity substances often changes drastically with temperature. Precise temperature control is essential to ensure reliable results. The CBC 5 basic circulating bath included in the set is a real powerhouse. Active cooling: With a cooling capacity of 350 watts (at 20 °C), it actively cools the bath medium. This enables measurements well below the freezing point (down to -25 °C), which is essential for antifreeze, lubricants or fuels. Powerful heating: With a heating capacity of 2,500 watts, you can quickly reach temperatures of up to +200 °C. Homogeneity: The powerful pressure and suction pump ensures turbulent circulation within the bath vessel. This guarantees that the temperature directly at the measuring cup is absolutely homogeneous and that no ‘hotspots’ or cold pockets distort the measurement result. Perfect system integration With this ‘Solution’ package, you don’t need to worry about compatibility. The viscometer is mounted directly above the thermostat’s bath using a special bracket. The measuring cup is immersed in the temperature-controlled bath, so that the sample is heated evenly from all sides. This is the ‘gold standard’ for temperature-dependent viscosity measurements, as it is significantly more accurate than simple hot plates or air-heated ovens. Digitalisation and documentation In modern laboratories, data integrity is crucial. Both the viscometer and the thermostat feature USB and RS-232 interfaces. Connect the system to a PC and use the optional labworldsoft software ® to unlock its full potential: Automated ramps: Programme temperature profiles (e.g. “cooling from 20 °C to -10 °C in 0.5 K increments”) and let the viscometer take measurements automatically at each step. Rheograms: Visualise changes in viscosity over temperature or time graphically. GLP-compliant: Save all data in full for audits or quality documentation.

IKA ROTAVISC me-vi Complete Rotary Viscometer (Package), 0010013827
The IKA ROTAVISC me-vi Complete is the ‘all-in-one’ package for precise, reproducible viscosity measurement in the medium viscosity range (‘me-vi’). It is the ideal instrument for specialist buyers in quality control or research who analyse common samples such as paints, varnishes, cosmetics, sauces or dairy products. ‘Complete’ package: Ready to go straight away This package (MPN 0010013827) has been put together by IKA so that you can start measuring straight away. (Feature) In addition to the basic unit, it includes the stand (ROTAS-1), the essential PT 100 temperature probe and the complete spindle set (SP-7 to SP-12) for the medium viscosity range (Benefit). Digital precision and ease of use At the heart of the ROTAVISC is the high-resolution 4.3-inch TFT display. (Feature) It enables intuitive menu navigation, the programming of measurement methods (e.g. ramps) and the precise digital setting of the rotational speed (0.01–200 rpm). (Benefit) This guarantees high reproducibility and compliance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Temperature measurement included The viscosity of a sample is extremely temperature-dependent. For this reason, the PT 100 temperature sensor is already included in the ‘Complete’ package. (Feature) The instrument measures and records the sample temperature in parallel with the viscosity, which is essential for comparable and scientifically valid results (Benefit).
