IKA RCT basic Magnetic Stirrers

Description Product

Solid and compact design – manufactured for process reliability
The high IP54 protection class and the solid die-cast aluminum housing reliably protect the device from liquids, aggressive vapors, and mechanical influences – for trouble-free continuous operation even under harsh laboratory conditions. The compact design (only 160 x 200 x 100 mm) saves valuable space in the fume hood, fits on almost any laboratory lifting platform, and enables flexible, parallel test setups. This means users benefit from greater safety, greater efficiency, and more freedom in their everyday laboratory work.

Performance and Efficiency

The brushless EC motor and high-quality magnets ensure excellent magnetic coupling at up to 1500 rpm. The insulated and thus energy-optimized heating plate has an output of 800 W and enables heating rates of up to 9 K/min. The heating rate can be adjusted in four stages – for slow, gentle, or fast heating depending on the application.

Safety features at a glance

1. Independent safety circuit according to EN IEC 61010-2-010
Two separate temperature sensors under the heating plate: one regulates the set temperature, the second monitors an individually adjustable safety limit (e.g. flash point). The setting is made mechanically directly on the device – independently of the process setpoint. This ensures maximum safety even with flammable liquids and in the worst-case scenario (e.g. broken glass).

2. Monitoring the temperature in the medium with the Delta-T safety function
A definable temperature difference to the medium setpoint ensures that if this is exceeded (due to an unexpected reaction or external heat source), the heating is switched off until restart (stirring remains active). This allows safe approach to critical temperatures without risking shutdown due to slight overshoots.

3. Detection of sudden temperature drops
The RCT detects sudden drops in medium temperature (e.g. due to glass breakage or evaporation of the medium) and can—depending on the setting—switch off the heating permanently.
