VELP AREC 7 Series Heating Magnetic Stirrers
The VELP AREC 7 Series are ceramic hotplate stirrers featuring a generous 7x7-inch surface, engineered for efficient heating and stirring from everyday lab applications to precise thermoregulation. Available in three variants, the analog AREC 7, the digital AREC 7 Digital, and the fully featured AREC 7 Advance, the series scales to meet the demands of any laboratory workflow. All three models share the same robust 180 x 180 mm ceramic top plate with exceptional chemical and scratch resistance, a brushless motor with SpeedServo™ torque compensation, and a heating range up to 550 °C. The AREC 7 Digital adds precise digital thermoregulation via Pt100, Pt1000, or VTF probe connection and a hot surface on-display warning. The AREC 7 Advance builds on this with programmable temperature and speed ramps, viscosity trend monitoring, 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 AREC 7 Series delivers reliability, safety, and performance for any heating and stirring application.
