Overhead laboratory shaker Tornado™

mechanicaldigitalflask

Use a single overhead stirring system to increase your stirring productivity by up to 600% The Tornado allows powerful, controlled mechanical stirring of up to six round bottom flasks when combined with the Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station; offering unrivalled stirring for both viscous samples and for the dispersion of delicate solids in solution. • Integrates with Carousel 6 Plus to provide heated and stirred reactions • Rapid heating to 180 ˚C, with water-cooled reflux head • Perform reactions under an inert atmosphere • Accepts 50 ml, 100 ml and 250 ml round bottom flasks • Uses a single overhead stirrer – save space and money compared with multiple set-ups • Compatible with all leading brands of overhead stirrer • 2-speed drive allows overhead stirrers with less torque to be used for higher viscosities • Stir to 1,000 rpm in low viscosity • Max. viscosity 10,000 mPas at 500 rpm • Integral polycarbonate safety guard prevents accidental contact with rotating parts • Optional clamp and stand provides added stability during operation • Uses a single overhead stirrer to agitate up to six 250 ml flasks • Choice of centrifugal, anchor and propeller PTFE stirrers, specifically sized for each vessel • Choice of flask sizes and styles with wide neck option • Wide neck flasks allow easier removal of viscous and solid samples and the use of larger stirrer blades. • Baffles improve stirring by disrupting the creation of a vortex • Tool-free 'Pinch-Grip' mechanism and sealed stirrer system allows easy stirrer shaft insertion and operation under an inert atmosphere • Compatible with all leading brands of overhead stirrer
