FAQs
1. What types of stirring shafts are compatible with this geared stirrer?
This geared stirrer features a universal chuck designed to securely hold a wide variety of stirring shafts and impellers, typically ranging from 1mm to 10mm in diameter. This versatility allows you to select the appropriate stirring tool for your specific application requirements.
2. How should I maintain this low-speed geared stirrer for optimal performance?
Regular maintenance includes keeping the unit clean and dry, especially the motor and control components. Periodically check the chuck for proper gripping and ensure the power cord is undamaged. Refer to the user manual for specific lubrication recommendations, if any, for long-term operational efficiency.
3. What are the power requirements for operating this stirrer in India?
This low-speed geared stirrer with a transformer speed regulator is designed to operate on standard Indian power supply, typically 220-240V AC, 50Hz. Always ensure you connect the unit to a properly grounded electrical outlet.
4. Is this stirrer suitable for continuous operation over extended periods?
Yes, the robust 1/8 HP motor and geared design are engineered for consistent performance. While designed for laboratory use, it can handle extended operational periods. However, it’s always advisable to ensure proper ventilation around the motor to prevent overheating during very long runs.
5. Can this geared stirrer effectively handle highly viscous liquids?
Absolutely. The primary advantage of a geared stirrer, especially with a 1/8 HP motor, is its high torque output at low speeds. This characteristic makes it exceptionally well-suited for mixing and homogenizing highly viscous liquids, pastes, and heavy solutions that would otherwise pose a challenge for standard stirrers.
