Description

The YR06674 Laboratory Hotplate is a high-performance solution designed for laboratories requiring efficiency and precision during simultaneous processes. Featuring 6 stirring positions, this equipment allows for the independent or collective heating and mixing of multiple samples, significantly optimizing laboratory workflow and time.

Aimed at chemistry, pharmacy, and biotechnology laboratories as well as research institutions, its ceramic-coated top plate design ensures exceptional durability against corrosive chemical agents. It is the ideal tool for titration processes, organic synthesis, and solution preparation requiring rigorous thermal control.

Design and Technology (or Functionality)

The YR06674  model integrates cutting-edge technology to guarantee reproducible results and operational safety:

• Advanced Ceramic Surface: The white ceramic-coated top plate provides excellent chemical, heat, and corrosion resistance, while the bright white surface enhances sample visibility.
• PID Control and Digital Display: Utilizes an electronic feedback control system to maintain precise temperatures and speeds, with an accuracy of +/- 1°C.
• Operational Versatility: Allows for heating only, stirring only, or heating and stirring together across all 6 positions.
• Integrated Safety: Features a fixed safety circuit of 400°C and smooth acceleration of stirring speed to ensure no spills occur.
• High Magnetic Adhesion: The electronic speed control ensures that the magnetic coupling remains constant even during load or viscosity changes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What is the maximum stirring capacity for each position? Each of the 6 positions can stir water flasks with a capacity ranging from 50 ml to 2000 ml.
• Does it include an external temperature sensor? Yes, it comes with a PT100 type thermocouple made of stainless steel (SS316), featuring a length of 170 mm and a 1000 mm lead wire for precise in-sample measurement.
• Is it resistant to acid splashes? Yes, both the ceramic-coated plate and the superfine aluminum alloy housing are designed to offer excellent resistance to corrosion and common laboratory chemical attacks.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages:

• Multi-Position Efficiency: Capability to manage 6 samples simultaneously with individual controls.
• Thermal Precision: PID control ensures that the temperature remains stable without dangerous fluctuations.
• Robust Construction: High-quality materials such as ceramic and aluminum alloy for a long service life.
• Safety Features: Thermal protection circuits and smooth-start stirring.

Disadvantages:

• Power Consumption: Due to its high heating capacity (2700W), it requires a proper electrical installation to handle the load.
• Stirring Interface: The stirring speed is displayed via an analog scale rather than a digital readout.

Field Use and Recommendations

This equipment is highly recommended for quality control centers, university research labs, and industrial pilot plants. Its multi-position configuration is perfect for comparative studies where all samples must be kept under identical time and temperature conditions.

Pro Tip: To maintain the visibility and integrity of the ceramic plate, clean any chemical spills immediately after the plate has cooled down. Use high-quality magnetic stirring bars to take full advantage of the equipment’s high magnetic adhesion.
