Variable-Speed Stirrers Handle Lab and Small-Batch Mixing

INDCO has introduced information on its ES-series variable-speed electric stirrers for laboratory and small-batch processing.
The equipment is designed to handle liquids with a range of viscosities, with configurations suitable for applications ranging from laboratory-scale mixing to batches of approximately 30 gallons.
The product family includes direct-drive and gear-drive models with motor ratings from approximately 1/15 to 1/8 hp, depending on configuration.
The stirrers operate on 115-V, 60-Hz power as standard and include totally enclosed nonventilated motors, on/off switches, manual speed controls and resettable circuit breakers.
Standard components include a stainless steel mixing shaft, propeller and mounting rod. Optional stands, C-clamps and mounting rod support clamps provide additional installation flexibility.
The product family offers maximum torque ratings ranging from approximately 1.0 to 14.8 in.-lb., depending on the model.
The ES6000 direct-drive model provides manual speed control from 0 to 6,000 rpm.
Rated for light-duty applications, the 1/10-hp model has a maximum torque rating of 1 in.-lb. and is designed for agitating low-viscosity liquids in batches up to 20 L.
INDCO manufactures its ES-series stirrers in New Albany, Indiana, and says most standard models are available for shipment within one business day.
