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 50mL, 100mL and 250mL round bottom flasks (sidearms and baffled flasks available)
- 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 250mL 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
- Heated directly by the stirring hotplate with optional digital control and Pt1000 temperature sensor
- Integral polycarbonate safety guard
- Universal support stand gives added stability
- Integrates with existing Carousel 6 Plus without increasing footprint
- Fits on all Carousel Stirring Hotplates
- Individual vessels can be removed easily
- Easy to operate and set-up with minimal training time
- 2-speed drive (1:1 and 2:1) allows lower rated stirrers to be used for higher viscosity liquids
- Package includes: drive unit, 6 x stirrer guide mechanisms, stirring motor coupling, stirring motor clamp and polycarbonate safety shield (stirrers and Carousel 6 reaction station not included)
