Digital Programmable Hot Plates

SKU: N/A Category:

When you cannot be in two places at once, these hot plates are ideal for complete walk-away heating applications.

All ceramic topped units are supplied with a stainless steel immersion probe.  The aluminum topped units are not supplied with a temperature probe.  If a probe is needed be sure to visit Accessories and order separately.

Description

These fully programmable digital hot plates are the most advanced and easy-to-use units available. In manual operation, simply select the parameter to be set and scroll to the value needed. The unit will do the rest. In the programmable mode, routines can be stored for instant recall and use. The stored routine will run automatically, without attention, and exactly the same time after time.

Programs can be simple or complex depending upon the need. Multiple temperatures, temperature ramp rates and timed events can be stored. When run, the unit monitors the program to be sure it runs exactly as written. Complete walk-away automation.

We offer two different heater top materials: ceramic glass and milled-flat cast aluminum:

  • Ceramic glass tops have a maximum plate surface temperature of 450ºC. They heat and cool very quickly. They are designed for heating a solution in a vessel and are more chemically resistant to spills than an aluminum top.
  • The aluminum tops have a maximum plate surface temperature of 450ºC. They are recommended for heating a solid on the heater plate surface. They have a better temperature distribution across the plate surface than the ceramic tops.

Includes the following product variants: EchoTherm™ HP40, EchoTherm™ HP40A, EchoTherm™ HP60, EchoTherm™ HP60A, EchoTherm™ HP61, EchoTherm™ HP61A
