What is an overhead stirrer used for?

An overhead stirrer is used for mixing and agitating liquids and suspensions in laboratory and industrial settings, particularly when higher torque or larger volumes are required compared to magnetic stirrers.

What types of vessels can be used with this equipment?

This equipment is typically used with laboratory beakers, flasks, and reaction vessels, often clamped securely to a stand to prevent movement during operation.

Is this unit suitable for continuous operation?

Many overhead stirrers of this type are designed for continuous operation, but buyers should confirm the specific duty cycle with the seller.

What maintenance is typically required for an overhead stirrer?

Routine maintenance usually involves cleaning the unit, inspecting the chuck and stirring elements for wear, and ensuring proper ventilation. No specific user-serviceable parts are typically involved beyond this.

Can this stirrer handle corrosive materials?

The suitability for corrosive materials depends on the construction materials of the stirrer shaft and propeller. Buyers should confirm material compatibility with the seller for specific applications.

Mixing of reagents and media in biotechnology applications.

Typical stirring volume: Units in this class typically handle volumes up to 50 litres, depending on viscosity.
Power supply: Commonly operates on a standard single-phase 230V, 50Hz supply.
Motor type: Often features a DC motor for consistent torque across a wide speed range.
Speed range: Typically offers a stirring speed range from 50 to 2000 rpm.
Viscosity range: Designed for low to medium viscosity applications, up to approximately 50,000 mPas.
Chuck range: Commonly accommodates stirrer shafts with diameters from 0.5 to 10 mm.
Control: Often includes digital speed display and electronic speed control for precise operation.

An overhead stirrer is used for mixing and agitating liquids and suspensions in laboratory and industrial settings, particularly when higher torque or larger volumes are required compared to magnetic stirrers.

Food processing mixers and processors are valued for their durability and reliability when sourced used. Buyers typically prioritize machines with clear maintenance histories and robust construction. Key considerations include motor condition, bowl or chamber integrity, and compatibility with existing production lines. These units generally perform well across multiple applications, from batch mixing to food preparation. Stainless steel components and established brands tend to command buyer confidence in the secondhand market.
