VELP ARE 5 / AREX 5 Series Heating Magnetic Stirrers

The VELP ARE 5 / AREX 5 Series are best-selling heating magnetic stirrers engineered to deliver powerful, reliable heating and stirring across a wide range of laboratory applications. Available in four variants spanning entry-level to advanced, the series scales from the straightforward analog ARE 5, through the analog AREX 5 and digital AREX 5 Digital, up to the fully featured AREX 5 Advance, giving every lab the right level of capability for their work. All four models share the same compact footprint, brushless motor with SpeedServo™ torque compensation, 135 mm ceramic-coated or aluminum alloy top plate, and IP 42 protection. The AREX 5 Digital adds precise digital thermoregulation via Pt100, Pt1000, or VTF probe connection. The AREX 5 Advance goes further with programmable temperature and speed ramps, viscosity trend measurement, auto-reverse, intermittent mode, a safety lock, and remote control via the VELP Ermes Cloud Platform over Wi-Fi. Designed and manufactured in Italy, the ARE 5 / AREX 5 Series is a trusted platform for university, research, and industrial laboratories worldwide.
