ISOHEAT KM-MEB housing heating mantle
The ISOHEAT KM-MEB enclosure heating mantle offers an efficient and reliable way of heating round-bottom flasks quickly and evenly in laboratory and production environments. Thanks to its robust design, corrosion-resistant stainless steel heating shell and integrated personal protection switch, this model is recommended for users who work in sensitive areas and require the highest safety standards. Similar versions such as the [ISOHEAT KM-SK stand clamp] are ideal as accessories to extend the range of applications as required.
Performance features and technical details
This high-quality device is designed for maximum temperatures of up to 450 °C and is characterized in particular by the following features:
- Nominal voltage: 230 V AC (protection class I)
- Heatsealing band temperature up to a maximum of 450 °C
- Built-in controller for infinitely variable power adjustment
- Plastic-coated metal housing for high stability and chemical resistance
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel heating tray that catches leaking liquid
- Thermally insulated, protective earthed outer housing to minimize heat emission and accident risks
- Built-in mains and heating zone switch and personal protection switch
The model also scores points with prepared threaded holes at the rear, which enable the connection of a stand clamp. This allows flasks from 250 ml to 2000 ml to be securely attached. Thanks to the infinitely variable power adjustment, different volumes can be precisely tempered as required. This combination of safety and functional features clearly sets the heating mantle apart from less specialized solutions on the market.
The corrosion-resistant stainless steel heating shell is particularly noteworthy. If a piston breaks, there is no risk of damaging the entire unit. Instead, the leaking liquid is collected and can be recovered. This allows expensive laboratory samples or sensitive substances to be protected.
Certifications and standards
The device fulfills the important safety aspects for laboratory equipment in accordance with protection class I. In addition, the device is generally CE-compliant and therefore fulfills the basic requirements for safety, health and environmental protection within the European Union. Thanks to the integrated personal circuit breaker (RCD), this heating mantle meets high laboratory and industrial standards and offers solid protection against electrical hazards.
Typical application examples
- Heating organic solvents in chemical synthesis, for example acetone, ether or ethanol.
- Distillation processes in which constant temperature levels are required for long running times
- Reaction batches in round bottom flasks that need to be slowly brought to higher temperatures without the risk of overheating.
- Routine tasks in research laboratories, analytical laboratories or industrial process plants where fast and uniform heating is essential.
FAQs
How can the temperature be precisely controlled
?
The integrated infinitely variable power control makes it possible to adjust the heating power precisely to the respective process. The desired output is set via an easy-to-use rotary potentiometer.
Can the heating mantle also be used for other flask shapes?
The structure is specially designed for round-bottom flasks. Other vessel shapes can only be heated safely if the bottom of the flask has the same radius as the heating bowl. Otherwise, an accessory or the use of a suitable hood is recommended.
Is additional protection necessary during operation?
The appliance already has an integrated personal protection switch. Nevertheless, it is recommended to always use protective equipment such as lab coats and proper extraction when working with highly flammable or hazardous substances.
Can liquid leak out without damaging the hood?
Yes, the corrosion-resistant stainless steel heating tray prevents damage from leaking liquids. These can be collected and easily drained without putting the appliance out of operation.
Conclusion
The heating mantle presented here ensures safe, powerful and precise temperature control of round-bottom flasks of various sizes. The stable and chemical-resistant components as well as the sophisticated safety functions offer professional users in laboratories, research and industry clear advantages over conventional heating devices. With its extensive features and proven technology, it is a first-class choice for anyone who demands high reliability, a long service life and maximum process safety.
