About Hot Plate Rectangular
Hot Plate Rectangular
Hot Plate ( Rectangular) Provided with temperature controller having temperature range upto 350°C. Suitable for general purpose laboratory heating.
Construction:
A rectangular cast iron plate is fixed on a thick mild steel body. Heating elements made of high temperature wire are fixed beneath the plate. Body is covered with thick layer of epoxy polyster paint. This provide a highly scratch & heat resistant surface for long lasing atttr active finish. Temperature is controlled by an energy regulator.
Exceptional Heating PerformanceThe hot plate is constructed with a heavy-duty cast iron top that delivers uniform heat distribution, reaching temperatures of up to 350C. The Nichrome wire heating element ensures efficient heat transfer, while thermostatic control allows for precise adjustment and maintenance of the desired temperature. This feature is ideal for applications that demand accurate heating.
Robust Safety and InsulationOutfitted with over-temperature protection and high-grade glass wool insulation beneath the plate, this hot plate safeguards users and maintains energy efficiency. The insulation minimizes heat loss, ensuring safe and reliable operation during extended laboratory processes.
Sturdy, Corrosion-Resistant DesignThe hot plate's main body is fabricated from powder-coated mild steel, and the polished cast iron top resists corrosion. This durable construction enables frequent use in demanding laboratory and industrial settings, guaranteeing a long service life with minimal maintenance.
FAQ's of Hot Plate Rectangular:
Q: How do I operate the hot plate for laboratory heating applications?
A: Begin by connecting the hot plate to a suitable 220-240 V AC power supply using the provided 3-pin standard plug. Set your desired temperature using the analog thermostatic control. Wait for the heavy-duty cast iron top plate to reach the set temperature, as indicated by the display, before placing your vessel on the plate.
Q: What are the primary safety features included with this hot plate?
A: This hot plate includes over-temperature protection, which automatically shuts off the heating element if excessive temperatures are detected. High-grade glass wool insulation beneath the plate also helps prevent heat transfer to unintended surfaces, ensuring user safety during operation.
Q: Where can this rectangular hot plate be used effectively?
A: The hot plate is designed specifically for indoor laboratory environments for industrial and scientific applications. It is not suitable for outdoor or household use and should only be used in well-ventilated, professionally supervised settings.
Q: What materials are used in the construction of this laboratory hot plate?
A: The main body is manufactured from powder-coated mild steel for durability and corrosion resistance. The top plate is made from polished cast iron, providing uniform, robust heating and long-lasting performance.
Q: What benefits does the thermostatic temperature control provide?
A: Thermostatic temperature control enables accurate adjustment and stable maintenance of temperatures up to 350C, with a precision of 2C. This ensures that sensitive laboratory processes requiring strict temperature management are conducted safely and consistently.
Q: When should I use this hot plate over other laboratory heating equipment?
A: This hot plate is ideal when a flat, stable heating surface is required for beakers, flasks, or other laboratory vessels, particularly for processes demanding uniform heating up to 350C. Its robust construction and safety features make it suitable for regular, intensive laboratory use.
Q: How does the high-grade glass wool insulation enhance the performance of the hot plate?
A: The high-grade glass wool insulation beneath the plate minimizes heat loss and prevents excessive heat transfer to the base and surrounding areas. This ensures energy-efficient operation and protects the workbench or supporting surfaces from excessive heat exposure.
