Heating Adapter Kit for 5qt Lab Mixer

Bench Lab Mixer Heating Adapter Kit for 5qt Mixers

Heating Adapter Kit

The Heating Adapter Kit is designed to maintain elevated temperatures while preparing hot-mix asphalt specimens in laboratory mixers, ensuring precise and consistent results. This kit is ideal for labs conducting asphalt testing where maintaining a specific temperature is critical for accurate sample preparation. The heating mantle securely mounts beneath mixing bowls using convenient hook-and-loop fasteners, providing efficient and uniform heating during operation.

An electronic proportional controller regulates the temperature with precision and includes a built-in circuit breaker and a Buss-type fuse for enhanced safety. The controller connects to the heating mantle via a durable twist-lock 4ft (1.2m) cable, ensuring a secure connection. An indicator light on the controller provides a clear visual cue when the heating mantle is active, allowing users to monitor operation at a glance. The kit is available in two voltage options: 115V/60Hz or 230V/50Hz, to suit various regional power requirements.
