Description
Universal Shaker SM 30 A is a bench-top orbital shaker built for high loads in continuous laboratory operation. The base unit includes the shaking plate and rubber mat and is supplied without an attachment rack. Orbital motion acts across a 560 x 400 mm platform with a 26 mm stroke and stepless speed control from 15 to 300 min⁻¹. Maximum load capacity is 30 kg, enabling substantial vessel arrays for prolonged runs. A timer covers 0–120 min as well as continuous mode. Electrical connection is 230 V or 115 V, 50/60 Hz (please specify when ordering), protection class IP 21, with heat dissipation of approximately 20 W. Ambient operating conditions range from 5 °C to 50 °C at about 85 % relative humidity. External dimensions are 680 x 610 x 160 mm (W × D × H) and the instrument weighs 33 kg. Example loadings include 42 × 100 ml Erlenmeyer flasks, 20 × 250/300 ml Erlenmeyer flasks, 6 × 250 ml separating funnels, 4 × 1000 ml separating funnels, or five test-tube racks. From manufacturer Bühler, the SM 30 A suits laboratories needing robust orbital mixing for heavy-duty continuous use.

Questions about Universal Shaker SM 30 A
What is this article?
Universal Shaker SM 30 A is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Bühler for laboratory use. It sits in Shakers, rockers & rotators, inside Stirring, shaking & mixing, in Lab instruments.
A shaker, rocker or rotator moves a rack, a plate or a bottle so the contents keep moving without a stirrer bar. Orbital, reciprocating and rocking motions are different. The platform, the load and the speed range are the specification.
Stirring keeps a mixture uniform or helps a solid dissolve. A magnetic stirrer spins a bar inside a closed vessel. An overhead stirrer drives a shaft when the liquid is viscous or the volume is large. A vortex mixer agitates a tube. A shaker moves a whole rack or a plate. The shape of the impeller and the speed decide whether the liquid turns over or merely spins. The vessels being stirred are indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
