Velp AREC 10 Advance Ceramic Hot Plate Stirrer SC20510692
State-of-the-art 10x10 ceramic hotplate stirrer, combining powerful performance, advanced safety features, several connectivity options, and enhanced user experience. Designed to offer a large working surface, it ensures precision, efficiency, and uncompromising safety in every experiment.
Driving Laboratory Innovation Through Advance Heating and Stirring
TheAREC 10 Advance provides alarge 10-inch working surface for extensive research, representing a new generation ofheating magnetic stirrers, specifically designed to meet the evolving needs of modern laboratories.
It combines high precision, versatile functionality, and an intuitive user experience, setting a temperature and stirring control benchmark. Its innovative interface, equipped with capacitive buttons and a chemically resistant tempered glass panel,ensures responsive operation and excellent visibility, even in the most demanding lab conditions.
Beyond its sleek design, the AREC 10 Advanceexpands your control over every aspect of your reactions. You can:
- Set temperature and stirring speed ramps;
- Optimize workflows with programmable timer functions;
- Monitor viscosity variations;
- Switch between multiple stirring modes;
- Take full advantage of versatile connectivity options.

Superior Thermoregulation for Maximum Accuracy
The AREC 10 Advancedelivers outstanding thermal control, making it ideal for temperature-sensitive and high-precision laboratory applications.
When precision is critical, users can reachmedium temperatures up to 350 °Cwith an accuracy of ±1.0 °C using atemperature probe (Pt100 or Pt1000).
To further enhance control, the AREC 10 Advance enables the programming oftemperature ramps, allowing for custom thermal profiles that support complex reactions and improve reproducibility.
Its high-efficiency 10x10 inches ceramic plateensures uniform heat distributionup to 550 °C, while providingexceptional chemical resistanceto guarantee long-term reliability in even the most aggressive laboratory environments.
Advanced Stirring Performance for Precise Laboratory Operations
Designed for demanding laboratory environments, theAREC 10 Advance delivers exceptional stirring performance with itsadvanced brushless motor and robust magnetic coupling system. This ensures reliable, maintenance-free stirring for volumesup to 25 L(H₂O), making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The stirring speed spans from 30 to 1700 rpm, allowing precise control forboth gentle mixing and intense stirring. Thanks to SpeedServo™, the motor maintains a consistent stirring speed, compensating automatically for viscosity changes. Additionally, the viscosity variation indicator provideslive feedback, ensuring continuous, accurate reaction monitoring.
Equipped with multiple stirring modes, such asauto-reverse,intermittent operation, andprogrammable speed limits, the AREC 10 Advance is engineered to optimize workflows, offering flexibility and reliability for high-demand laboratory processes.
Easy Processes through Smart Connectivity
The AREC 10 Advance enhances lab productivity with advanced connectivity features:
- Remote control via Velp Ermes cloud platform: access and manage the hotplate stirrer from any mobile device, wherever you are. Log in to set parameters and monitor operations in real time.
- Local data management with ControllerSoft™: for those preferring offline solutions, this software allows clear visualization of stirring and heating curves through USB connection to a PC.
- Easy data export: experimental data can be saved and transferred to a computer or USB flash drive for analysis and archiving.

Ensuring Safety for Every Application
Safety is fundamental in
every laboratory, and the AREC 10 Advance hotplate stirrer incorporatesmultiple built-in safety featuresto ensure secure operation at all times, including:
- Safety lock buttonto prevent accidental adjustments to parameters;
- Safety checks automatically stop heatingin case the external probe is not immersed or is removed from the sample;
- Over-temperature protectionprevents overheating of the sample;
- Adjustable maximum temperature limitfor enhanced control over heating processes;
- Countdown and count-up timerfor precise workflow management;
- "Hot" messagedisplayed when the plate temperature exceeds 50°C, even if heating is off.
Designed for long-lasting reliability, the AREC 10 Advance is covered by a3-year warranty(online product registration is required).
