What is Mixing and Stirring Equipment
Mixing and Stirring equipment are most commonly found in laboratories. These equipment mainly used for solvent removal by stirring motors, magnetic stirring, small pumps for fluid, shakers etc.
Stirring motors and Magnetic stirrers are often operated for fairly long periods without constant attention. Therefore, they create certain risks for user and for laboratory which may cause a hazard. To eliminate this risks equipment is tested as per standard IEC 61010-2-051 for laboratory equipments.
About IEC 61010-2-051
This standard is applicable to electrically operated equipment and its accessories for mechanical mixing and stirring. Where mechanical energy influences the shape and size or homogeneity of materials and their accessories. Such devices can contain heating elements.
