5" Magnetic Hot Plate Stirrer
Analog
Φ135 mm Ceramic-Coated Plate · 50–1500 RPM · 310°C Max · Dual PT1000 Sensors · Brushless DC
The MI0102010 brings hot-plate-grade hardware into an analog price point — a Φ135 mm stainless steel plate with ceramic coating, 310°C peak temperature, an explosion-proof brushless DC motor, and a 3D digital wheel that controls heating and stirring without the cost of a full LED-display variant. Built for labs that need real performance and don't want to pay for features they won't use.
Why Analog Still Earns Its Place
Most "budget" hot plate stirrers cut corners where it matters: the hotplate is bare aluminium that scratches and corrodes, the motor is a brushed DC unit that wears out in two years, and there's no over-temperature cutoff worth mentioning. The price stays low; the lifetime stays short.
The MI0102010 keeps the safety hardware and the durable construction — dual internal PT1000 sensors, an enclosed heating plate that resists liquid splashes, a 50–325°C safety cutoff, and a hot-surface warning — and saves cost only on the display interface. The 3D digital wheel still gives precise speed and temperature control; you just read the result off an indicator instead of an LED screen.
310°C Heating · PID Controlled
Stainless steel plate with ceramic coating heats to 310°C with optimized PID control. Safety temperature cutoff 50–325°C. Hot-surface warning protects operators.
Dual Internal PT1000
Two internal PT1000 sensors — redundant temperature monitoring so a single sensor failure doesn't compromise the run or the safety cutoff.
Brushless · Explosion-Proof
Maintenance-free brushless DC motor — no brushes to wear, no carbon dust, and an explosion-proof design safe for solvent-rich chemistry benches.
Enclosed Heating Plate
Sealed plate edge prevents liquid splashes from reaching internal electronics — a routine spill stays a spill, not a service ticket.
"Real hot-plate hardware. Real safety. Analog price." — The MI0102010 keeps the brushless motor, the PT1000 sensors, the ceramic plate, and the 50–325°C safety cutoff — saving cost only on the LED display.
