Enhancing Laboratory Safety with Caframo Overhead Stirrers

Precise Control & Soft Start:

Caframo stirrers are equipped with a digital display interface that provides precise speed control and real-time monitoring of key parameters. The clear display ensures that users have complete visibility to make informed decisions during formulation. Caframo stirrers also include Soft Start, a slow speed ramp-up function which is particularly beneficial when working with volatile or reactive substances. The gradual increase in stirring speed reduces the likelihood of sudden splashes or foaming that could lead to spills, protecting the user and environment.

Overload and Overheat Protection:

Caframo stirrers are equipped with integrated overload and overheat protection, ensuring enhanced safety in the laboratory. These features automatically detect excessive load, high temperatures, or a locked rotor/entanglement, which could cause damage to the stirrer or pose a safety risk. In such instances, the stirrer is designed to shut down to prevent damage to the electronics, motor, or transmission. This proactive approach extends the life of your stirrer, maintains operational efficiency, and eliminates potential hazards, ensuring a safer and more reliable stirring process.

Stable and Secure Clamping with Enhanced Stability:

A crucial aspect of safety is ensuring that your overhead stirrer is stable and secure. Caframo stirrers are designed to attach firmly to safety stands, such as the A110, using the A120 fastening clamp. This clamp is engineered to hold a longer portion of the stirrer support rod, increasing the overall stability of the setup. Additionally, the stand adjustment knobs facilitate leveling on uneven surfaces, enhancing usability and safety. The fastening clamp not only allows for easy adjustments in angle and height but also ensures a secure attachment of the stirrer motor, minimizing any risk of sudden movements and providing a more stable stirring environment.

The A120 fastening clamp ensures stable and secure mixing at all speeds and viscosities.

Totally Enclosed, Non-Ventilated (TENV) Housings:

When mixing with powders, the risk of airborne particles and potential hazards is heightened. Caframo high torque stirrers are essential in these environments because of their TENV housing. There is no outside fan to disturb powders, ensuring a controlled and secure environment.

Keyed Chuck:

When it comes to laboratory safety, Caframo understands the importance of providing reliable and secure equipment. That’s why Caframo stirrers are equipped with a keyed chuck, ensuring a secure and tight grip on the impeller shaft to prevent any unexpected slippage or dislodgement during operation. Caframo stirrers are known for their durability and high torque capabilities and a keyed chuck is particularly crucial when working with high viscosity solutions. To provide an additional layer of confidence and peace of mind, Caframo includes a complementary CG1 chuck guard with purchase of any stirrer from our high torque line (i.e. BDC1850, BDC3030, and BDC6015).
