These grounded stirring/heating mantles share all the features of a standard heating mantle plus the added functionality of a magnetic stirrer for a wide range of applications.The stirring circuitry, built into the base of the mantle, provides bidirectional stirring speeds up to 520 rpm. An “auto-recapture” function reactivates stirring if it is interrupted or lost for any reason. The coiled heating element is suspended within a thermal insulating cartridge to provide maximum heat transfer and support. Built-in power controller has dial markings from 1 to 10 for repeatability.Chemical-resistant polypropylene exterior remains cool to the touch even when the element temperatures reach 842°F (450°C). Grounded earth screen and double fuses provide addition safety.Two coloured lights near the control dial indicate "power on" and "heat on."Flexible heating element ensures minimum risk of flask breakageAccepts round-bottom flasks of up to 500mlChemical-resistant polypropylene design makes cleaning easy.
