1. Introduction
The AREX / ARE 5 heating magnetic stirrer is used to heat and mix liquids inside a suitable container placed on the
aluminium plate. The stirring is possible thanks to a magnetic drive stir bar placed into the vessel.
The RC 5 heating plate is used to heat liquids inside a suitable container placed on the aluminium plate.
The instrument is used in the laboratory for general use and for all those applications that require precise regulation of the
heating plate temperature (and, for AREX / ARE 5, also of the stirring speed).
The Aluminum alloy heating plate ensures:
•
Optimum heat distribution and a high specific power thanks to the circular configuration
•
Temperature homogeneity
•
High resistance to thermal stress and thermal shock
The AREX 5 heating plate has a special ceramic coating that ensures high resistance to chemical agents and surface
abrasion. Using this heating plate at high temperatures may cause discoloring. This does not alter the thermal, mechanical
and chemical resistance of the plate in any way.
For AREX / ARE 5, the powerful brushless motor is able to stir from 100 up to 1500 rpm.
SpeedServo technology maintains constant speed as viscosity changes.
Note:
it’s important to choose the most suitable magnetic stirring bar related to the type and the quantity of the liquid to be
stirred as well as to the type of the beaker. Size and shape of the magnetic stir bar determines the stirring efficiency at any
given speed. The stirring bar which satisfies most applications is code A00000356 (8 x 40 mm).
The AREX 5 can work in combination with thermoregulator VTF for precise and accurate control of the sample temperature.
2. Installation

•
The box includes
➢
AREX / ARE 5 heating magnetic stirrer or RC 5 heating plate
➢
Instruction manual
➢
Power cable
•
Installation
➢
Place the unit on a non-flammable surface
➢
Make sure that the technical specification of the unit and of the power supply line are the same
