Description
Polymax 1040 (5° tilt angle) is a laboratory wave shaker designed for three-dimensional tumbling motion of samples. As part of the 1000 series, the instrument can be integrated into a compatible incubator system, enabling temperature-controlled applications on the same platform. Loads of up to 5 kg can be processed, so multiple vessels or sample sets may be agitated together. Speed is adjustable from 2 to 50 min⁻¹, and operation is possible either continuously or via a timer with a maximum setting of 120 minutes. The gentle tumbling action supports mixing and incubation protocols that benefit from a mild, multi-axis motion profile. This model from manufacturer Heidolph is supplied with an EU power cable. Net weight is approximately 8,28 kg. The Polymax 1040 is suited to research and routine laboratory environments requiring reproducible wave-type agitation with optional thermal control through modular incubator integration.

Questions about Polymax 1040 (5° tilt angle) -- EU-plug
What is this article?
Polymax 1040 (5° tilt angle) -- EU-plug is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Heidolph for laboratory use. It sits in Stirring & mixing accessories, inside Stirring, shaking & mixing, in Lab instruments.
Stirring accessories are the bosses, the retort clamps and the spare knobs that hold an overhead stirrer over the vessel. The stand has to carry the motor's mass, not only the flask's.
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.
