Velp Scientifica AREX 5 VTF – AREX 5 Analog Hot Plate Stirrer with VTF Digital Thermoregulator, 115V/60Hz

• AREX 5 versatile analog hot plate stirrer with CerAlTop plate
• VTF digital thermoregulator for precise sample thermoregulation
• Stirs up to 20L from 100 to 1500 rpm with SpeedServo counter-reaction
• 2 illuminated indicators inform the operator when the heating is on, and the temperature is above 50 degrees Celsius
• Brushless motor ensures power and resistance over time

The Velp Scientifica AREX 5 VTF is a robust and versatile hot plate stirrer suitable for applications ranging from basic to temperature-sensitive where precise sample thermoregulation is required. The included VTF digital temperature controller ensures premium performance in terms of temperature control: it allows better alignment with the set point temperature (with an accuracy of ± 0.5°C.) and lower initial “overshoot” (initial discrepancy with the set temperature).

The AREX 5 hot plate stirrer ensures a high level of safety and protection for laboratory operators.

Two illuminated indicators always inform the operator when the heating is on. Furthermore, the icon stays on when the temperature of the plate is above 50°C even if the instrument is switched off.

The internal electronic parts are protected by the insulating disk, which, together with the robust die-cast aluminum housing, enables the AREX 5 to withstand even the most demanding laboratory environments and applications, such as when working with cold media (below 0°C).

The 135mm diameter top is protected from chemicals and scratches by the superior resistant CerAlTop ceramic coating.

In addition, the AREX 5 hot plate stirrer is IP42 certified.

You can rely on the robust AREX 5 and its powerful brushless motor for everyday laboratory applications like sample and buffer solutions preparation, as it stirs volumes up to 20 liters (H2O).

By turning the right knob of the AREX 5 it is possible to easily adjust the stirring speed from 100 up to 1500 rpm.

The AREX 5 is equipped with VELP-engineered SpeedServo torque compensation technology that ensures constant speed even when the viscosity of the medium changes.

The VTF thermoregulator is ideal for many applications and meets the most demanding requirements in terms of precision, reliability, and flexibility of use thanks to the innovative FUZZY LOGIC Technology. It automatically adjusts the thermoregulation to different factors such as power, load, and thermal dispersion.

The CerAlTop plate reaches a maximum temperature of 310°C; when connected with the VTF, the AREX 5 is able to thermoregulate the medium up to 300°C with an accuracy of ± 0.5°C.
