About Magnetic Agitator
The range of PerMix PM series Magnetic Mixer uses special magnetic driving and non-sealing technology, which is totally different from the common gear-drive agitators.In a magnetic mixer, the magnetic couplings transmit the torque from the drive to the impeller by the magnet field. No direct touch of the impeller with the drive is necessary therefore no need for the conventional sealing, also they are working nearly without mechanical wear, which makes it possible that these magnetic mixers have much longer duty life with correct design and under proper workingconditions.The mixing head can be equipped with several different mixing elements such as propellers or Rushton turbines.Biotechnology and fermentation are the most advanced fields of application in process technology. For quite a long time magnetic stirrers take over a leading role in high-tech agitation. There are also demands from other industries for magnetic mixers.Advantages & Options:The features & options of PerMix Magnetic Mixers are:
- High blending capacity with low power consumption
- Highly hygienic design, easy cleaning and sterilization in the vessel by steam or hot water
- Bayonet / Tri-clamp connection for easy assembly/disassembly of the drive unit (Option)
- No sealing demand and no danger of leakage and contamination between batches
- Low shearing for shear-sensitive materials
- No wear of the mechanical parts leading to long duty life and minimum maintenance
- Ex-proof version for flammable fluid processing
- A variety of impeller types available for different applications
Robust Stainless Steel ConstructionThe agitator's top plate is crafted from high-grade SS 304 stainless steel, offering superior resistance to corrosion and chemical reactions. Coupled with a powder-coated steel body, it ensures longevity and consistent performance in demanding laboratory environments.
Safe and Efficient MixingDesigned with overheat protection and natural air cooling, the agitator operates quietly ( 40 dB), promoting a safe and comfortable working environment. IP21 ingress protection provides defense against accidental spills and dust, ensuring reliability during continuous laboratory use.
Precise, Variable Speed ControlThe MA-200 utilizes a rotary knob for variable speed adjustments, offering fine control over stirring speeds with 1 rpm accuracy. This flexibility enables optimal mixing of diverse laboratory solutions, enhancing reproducibility across various workflows.
FAQ's of Magnetic Agitator:
Q: How do I adjust the stirring speed on the Magnetic Agitator MA-200?
A: You can easily adjust the stirring speed using the rotary knob control located on the front panel. This allows for variable speed settings and precise adjustments with an accuracy of 1 rpm.
Q: What laboratory processes is this agitator suitable for?
A: The MA-200 Magnetic Agitator is ideal for mixing, dissolving, and stirring laboratory solutions in research, quality control, and educational settings. It supports continuous operation for sample preparation, reagent mixing, and general liquid agitation.
Q: When should I utilize the overheat protection feature?
A: The overheat protection activates automatically if the agitator's internal temperature exceeds safe operating limits, ensuring user safety and preventing damage during prolonged or intensive use.
Q: Where should the agitator be mounted or placed during use?
A: This model is designed for table-top mounting, allowing stable placement on laboratory benches for convenient access and operation.
Q: What are the cleaning and maintenance requirements for the agitator?
A: Regularly clean the stainless steel top plate and the external powder-coated body with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure the device is disconnected from the power source before cleaning. The Teflon-coated stir bar is also easy to clean and maintain.
Q: What are the benefits of the Teflon-coated stir bar included with the agitator?
A: The Teflon coating on the stir bar provides excellent chemical resistance, minimizing contamination and enhancing agitation efficiency when mixing corrosive or sensitive solutions.
Q: How does the agitator ensure user safety during operation?
A: Apart from overheat protection, the agitator's IP21 ingress protection prevents accidental incursion of small objects and liquids, while its non-corrosive design reduces maintenance concerns in standard laboratory environments.
