Overhead Stirrers
Blend Challenging Samples All Day.
When complete dispersion of challenging ingredients is the goal, an overhead stirrer is your not-to-secret weapon.
The most challenging stirring and blending operations in your lab, maybe involving immiscible ingredients, are best performed with overhead stirrers.
But being responsible with your budget means going outside the big brand names. Because paying that markup is painful.
We carry a curated collection of overhead stirrers that are:
- Balanced.
- Noise and wear resistant.
- Quiet.
- Built to last.
There are pieces of equipment your lab should never have to buy twice, even if you use them every day. Your overhead stirrers are among them. That’s why we built the collection below.
Fish eyes don’t belong in your lab
Some powders resist blending into liquid. They can clump, form aggregates, or other artifacts (like fish eyes) rather than dispersing thoroughly.
The overhead stirrers in the curated collection below have high torque and high speed. So you or your operators will never find yourselves staring down into those dreaded fish eyes.
How much do you know about your samples and what you need your overhead stirrers to do?
Automatic shutdown
The point of most overhead stirrers is to stir while you do something else.
But they’re often used for high viscosity blending. And many samples increase in viscosity as they are mixed.
If the viscosity gets too high, you can burn out your motor (and waste the budget you spent on your overhead stirrer).
Everything in our curated collection of overhead stirrers is built with an automatic shutdown, because it’s one of the easiest ways to make sure you get good value from your investment.
Maximum speed
Make it even easier for your operators to stay within your lab’s parameters by choosing overhead stirrers that don’t go outside your lab’s maximum speed (based on your current SOPs).
Sometimes an investment in a more expensive overhead stirrer with a lower maximum RPM is worth it because your samples are protected by its built-in limits.
Samples capacity
Overloading your overhead stirrer is bad. It’s mighty, but still built to specifications.
Each unit is clearly marked with its capacity, and we recommend making it impossible for your operators to overload by only stocking appropriately-sized vessels nearby.
A gentle start
Sudden high mixing speeds can cause splashes. And most of the time you don’t want the substances you’re stirring all over your hands and workspace.
Choose an overhead stirrer that eases into your selected speed, so a health and safety issue doesn’t ruin your week (or longer).
Real-time viscosity monitoring
Want to walk away from your samples but still keep an eye on viscosity changes?
Some overhead stirrers connect via bluetooth to your device and give you updates in real time, so you’re always connected even when you can’t see or hear your stirrer.
Viscosity
Some overhead stirrers are designed for better stability with high viscosity. If you know your lab works primarily with high viscosity samples, look for those words in the pages below (most Yamato overhead stirrers are well suited for high viscosity applications.
Timer
Know exactly how long things need to be stirred? A timer makes you or your operators more efficient every day.
