AREC 4 Ceramic Hot Plate Stirrer Velp Scientifica

AREC 4 Ceramic Hot Plate Stirrer Velp Scientifica

Product Description

The AREC 4 Ceramic Hot Plate Stirrer is a compact and reliable instrument designed for basic laboratory heating and stirring applications. Featuring a 4-inch square ceramic plate, it offers excellent chemical resistance, efficient heating, and uniform temperature distribution across the surface.

Equipped with a powerful brushless motor and strong magnetic coupling, the AREC 4 ensures continuous and maintenance-free stirring. Thanks to SpeedServo torque compensation, it maintains constant stirring speed even as viscosity changes, ensuring consistent performance across applications.

With the ability to stir up to 5 liters (H2O) at speeds from 100 to 1500 rpm, and heating capabilities up to 550 °C, the AREC 4 is a robust, durable, and versatile choice for daily laboratory use.
