Next Generation High-Torque and High Speed Stirrers Introduced

Wiggens introduces the new generation of high-torque and high speed overhead stirrers with the WB-3000, WB-1800, and WB-6000 series. These units are specifically designed for high torque applications and / or high speed applications where conventional stirrers reach their limit with regard to sample viscosity or speed requirements. The Wiggens high-torque and high speed stirrers feature a high resolution TFT display which can show not only the current speed and torque, but also the set speed, gear stage, controlling mode and timer settings. All stirrers come with a BLDC motor, which is highly beneficial to the durability of the product. In comparison to AC motors, BLDC motors are quieter, more robust and maintenance free. In addition, all stirrers employ a two stage gear transmission box for optimal processing of high torque at low speeds or lower torque at higher speeds. A special feature is the smart torque adjustment that enables the stirrer to maintain the set speed even if the viscosity of the sample changes during the stirring process. The latest chuck design makes impeller changes easy and guarantees that the impeller sits perfectly. The housing is made of die-cast aluminium and features heat reduction fins, which contribute to keeping the unit cool in long-term applications.

An RS-232 and RS-485 input as well as analogue control make all stirrers highly versatile and adoptable for different applications. Thus, they can be used as a stand-alone unit or, for instance, integrated in chemical reaction systems. The Wiggens high-torque and high speed series are also available as remotely controllable units, with the stirring and controlling box separated. This makes them an even better fit for integration in reaction systems where the controller is required to be in an easily reachable position.
