ARE 5 Hot Plate Stirrer Velp Scientifica

ARE 5 Hot Plate Stirrer Velp Scientifica

Product Description

Since 1983, the ARE 5 Hot Plate Stirrer has been a trusted reference point in laboratories worldwide, from universities and research institutes to industrial facilities. Designed to meet essential heating and stirring requirements, it combines reliability, safety, and durability in one compact unit.

The 135 mm aluminum alloy top plate ensures excellent temperature homogeneity and efficient heat transfer across the entire surface. With robust construction and IP42 certification, the ARE 5 is engineered to withstand demanding laboratory conditions, including applications with cold media below 0 °C.

Its intuitive analog controls, combined with a brushless motor and SpeedServo™ torque compensation, provide stable stirring even with viscosity changes. Safety is enhanced with dual illuminated indicators: one showing when heating is active, and another that remains on if the plate temperature is above 50 °C, even after the instrument is switched off.
