About Rotary Flask Shaker
Designedfor continues shaking of solutions in Erlenmeyer Flasks from 50 ml 1000 mlcapacity. It is a compact beach type table top model with platform fitted withrubber discs mounted on ball bearing crank shafts to give an orbital motion tothe flasks, within a diameter of approximately 2". The motor is coupled bymeans of a V-belt with pitch pulley, and is mounted on a heavy and sturdy angleiron frame S. Steel Top. Speed is controlled by mechanical speed controller. Towork on 220/230 volts A.C. supply.Robust and Flexible PlatformThis shaker features a universal platform with adjustable clamps, accommodating flasks from 25 ml to 1000 ml. The platform is fitted with rubber discs to minimize movement, ensuring secure and stable shaking. Its design makes it suitable for a wide range of scientific applications, from blending solutions to aerating cultures.
Reliable Performance with Seamless ControlDriven by a continuous duty, heavy-duty motor, the shaker delivers consistent results at speeds variable up to 250 RPM. Speed can be precisely controlled using the digital regulator, enabling tailored mixing according to the experimental requirements. The sturdy, powder-coated steel body offers long-lasting performance and stability.
Convenient Table-Top InstallationDesigned for bench-top use, the compact and rectangular unit fits easily into most laboratory spaces. Its semi-automatic operation and manual flask loading system allow users to adjust flask sizes with ease, facilitating quick set-up and changeovers between tasks.
FAQs of Rotary Flask Shaker:
Q: How do I adjust the clamps to accommodate different flask sizes on the rotary shaker?
A: The universal platform is equipped with adjustable holder clamps which can be easily repositioned to fit flasks from 25 ml up to 1000 ml. Simply loosen the clamp, place your flask securely, and tighten to ensure stability during operation.
Q: What is the benefit of a variable speed control in this rotary shaker?
A: Variable speed control allows you to precisely regulate the shaking intensity up to 250 RPM, enabling optimal mixing for various protocols and sample types, which improves experimental accuracy and reproducibility.
Q: When should I consider using this rotary flask shaker in my laboratory processes?
A: This shaker is ideal whenever you need uniform mixing of liquids in flasks, such as during solution preparation, cell culture aeration, or extraction protocols. Its designed for routine mixing and shaking tasks in research, academic, and industrial labs.
Q: Where can this rotary flask shaker be installed in the laboratory?
A: With its compact, table-top rectangular shape and moderate weight, the shaker can be conveniently placed on any standard laboratory bench or workspace, requiring only a 220V AC power supply.
Q: What are the steps involved in operating the rotary flask shaker?
A: Start by placing the flasks in their respective adjustable clamps, set your desired speed using the digital control, and switch on the device. Since there is no inbuilt timer, monitor your shaking duration externally, then simply switch off the shaker once mixing is complete.
Q: How does the belt-driven mechanism with a continuous duty motor contribute to laboratory work?
A: The belt-driven design ensures smooth rotation and quiet operation, while the heavy-duty continuous motor supports extended periods of mixing without overheating, making it reliable for demanding laboratory workflows.
Q: What advantages does the powder-coated steel construction offer?
A: Powder-coated mild steel provides excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, ensuring the shakers longevity. Its robust build supports stable operation even under continuous use, making it a durable choice for intensive laboratory environments.
