Heating Mantles / Electromantles
The EM series Electromantles are manufactured to the highest quality in our UK manufacturing facility. Each mantle is made with extreme care and is hand sewn to assure its reliability, quality and safety. Maximum heat transfer to the sample is achieved by having excellent insulation around the cartridge and good flask coverage. All Electrothermal mantles go through the 'burn off' procedure at the end of the manufacturing process enabling use straight out of the box.
Heating and Stirring Electromantle
The EMA Electromantle shares all the standard features of the standard EM but has the added functionality of magnetic stirring. The solid state stirring circuitry is built into the base of the main housing and provides powerful stirring over a range of capacities and viscosities. The stir speed is easily adjusted and is bi-directional. The stir bar is seldom lost due to our “autorecapture” function.
Robust and economical
Designed with simplicity, flexibility and ease of use, the EM series Electromantle is designed to be the workhorse for your heating applications. All EMs have a built-in energy regulator with indicator lamps for power and heater operation. All mantles have support rod clamps as an integral feature and incorporate a grounded earth screen and double fuses for added safety. Larger capacity products have multiple heating elements, enabling a more even and directed transfer of heat.
Magnetic Stirring
The EMA stirring Electromantle has the added functionality of solution stirring which widens the range of applications. Stirring operation is simply achieved by placing the correct size bar into the flask, turning the stir control to the minimum speed and ramping up slowly. If the magnetic coupling to the stir bar is lost for any reason, the speed control should be reduced slightly and the auto-recapture switch can be activated.
Electromantle Guide
The Electrothermal series of heating mantles has been specifically designed to provide a comprehensive answer to heating fluids in round bottom flasks in the modern laboratory. The original “Electromantles” revolutionised round bottom flask heating by incorporating a coiled flexible heating element, which ingeniously wraps the heater around the flask to optimise heat transfer. For maximum safety, the flask is held away from direct contact with the heating element via a grounded earth screen. This design principle has stood the test of time and has been imitated the world over. With many years of experience, Electrothermal remains at the forefront of laboratory heating and its associated controlling technology.
