These general purpose stirring hot plates are designed with safety as well as performance in mind. The compact shape takes up less bench space and makes storage easier. Powerful magnets and motor give stirring speeds up to 2000 rpm and is capable of mixing large volumes (up to 15 L*). All models include an integral fitting for attaching a support rod.
Stirring hot plates (04800-01, -03 and 04801-01, -03) feature either coated aluminum top plate for rapid heating and better temperature uniformity or chemically resistant glass ceramic that stays cool around the edges to help prevent burns. The "Hot" warning light will flash whenever the plate temperature is above 50°C even when the hotplate is turned off (lasts up to 30 minutes without power).
