AREC 4 Digital Ceramic Hot Plate Stirrer

Powerful digital hotplate stirrer that features a 4-inch ceramic plate and guarantees precise thermoregulation of the media, high safety and maximum reliability.

Precise temperature control for maximum reproducibility

The AREC 4 Digital features a 4-inch square ceramic plate, ideal for various laboratory tasks. Designed for temperature-sensitive applications, the ceramic plate reaches a maximum temperature of 550°C.

For superior temperature control, connect the AREC 4 Digital to external Pt100 and Pt1000 probes and the VTF Digital thermoregulator.

When working with Pt100 and Pt1000 probes it is possible to achieve precise heating of the medium up to 350°C with an impressive ±1.0°C accuracy. Alternatively, use the VTF Digital for a maximum medium thermoregulation of 300°C and an exceptional ±0.5°C accuracy.

Brushless motor technology for powerful and consistent stirring

The AREC 4 Digital hotplate stirrer features a state-of-the-art brushless motor that operates quietly and efficiently, ensuring continuous stirring with minimal maintenance.

This advanced motor technology provides precise speed control, from 100 to 1500 rpm, which is crucial for experiments requiring consistent agitation.

Additionally, the VELP-engineered SpeedServo™ torque compensation technology ensures constant speed even when the viscosity of the medium changes.

Capable of stirring up to 5 liters (H₂O), the AREC 4 Digital is a versatile hotplate stirrer suitable for both low and high-speed applications.

Compact design with superior resistance and safety

The AREC 4 Digital hotplate stirrer ensures a high level of safety for users.

Various safety functions protect users in daily operations, such as safety circuits, over-temperature protection, and a security message “hot” displayed when the temperature of the plate is above 50°C and the heating function is not active.

The compact footprint makes it an indispensable solution for labs with limited bench space, without compromising on performance.

The robust housing and resistant 4-inch square ceramic plate, offer excellent resistance to chemicals and scratches, preserving product quality over years of use and ensuring easy maintenance and cleaning with a simple wipe-down.

The AREC 4 Digital hotplate stirrer is designed for the most extended lifespan and guaranteed by a 3-year warranty (online product registration required).

User-friendly interface for easy monitoring

With the exceptionally bright and user-friendly digital display, you can continuously monitor the temperature and stirring speed with utmost precision.

The carefully designed interface ensures an optimized user experience and enables precise control allowing precise control over temperatures up to 550°C and stirring speeds ranging from 100 to 1500 rpm.

To adjust the temperature and stirring speed, simply turn and push the knobs. You’ll be ready to perform your application securely in no time.
