This listing is for a IKA RW 28 Basic Overhead Stirrer.

The unit is in full working condition and is ready for immediate release.

The IKA RW 28 Basic Overhead Stirrer stands out as a robust solution for laboratories needing to mix highly viscous substances. Here’s a breakdown of what makes this stirrer particularly effective:

Key Features:

Max Stirring Volume: With the capacity to handle up to 80 liters, it’s perfect for large-scale mixing tasks. Imagine mixing a thick polymer solution or a large batch of a viscous food product.

Max Viscosity: The RW 28 can manage viscosity of up to 50,000 mPas, making it suitable for challenging materials like gels or pastes that require intensive stirring.

Speed Range: It offers a versatile speed range of 60 to 1400 rpm. This allows users to start slow to prevent splashing and then increase speed for thorough mixing.

Max Torque: The high torque of 900 Ncm at the shaft ensures that it can tackle even the most stubborn mixtures without stalling.

Applications:

Versatile Use: This stirrer is ideal for quality control, research, and industrial applications, making it a valuable asset in laboratories and pilot plants. For instance, a pharmaceutical lab could use it for mixing active ingredients in formulations.

Design and Safety:

Overheating Protection: The built-in self-locking temperature limiter is a crucial safety feature that prevents motor damage, allowing for extended use without concern.

Optional Accessories: The stirrer can be equipped with a stirring shaft protection and a clamping fixture, enhancing safety and stability during operation, especially for high-capacity bowls.

Technical Specifications:

Motor Rating: With a motor rating of 220/90 W and 90 W output at the stirring shaft, the RW 28 balances power and efficiency.

Chuck Range: The 1-10 mm chuck range allows for the use of various stirring shafts, providing flexibility for different mixing applications.

Compact Design: Its dimensions (123 x 252 x 364 mm) and weight (7.4 kg) make it relatively easy to position in a lab setting without occupying excessive space.
