CAFRAMO
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CAFRAMO from 3G Electric.
What is the maximum torque and viscosity range of the CAFRAMO Model 1540 overhead stirrer?
The CAFRAMO Model 1540 overhead stirrer delivers a maximum torque of 3,000 N-cm and is rated for viscosities up to 180,000 cps. It has a volume capacity of 200 L and a maximum speed of 1,500 RPM. The unit features variable speed control, a digital display, and reversible operation. It operates on 120V. This model is suitable for high-torque mixing applications in laboratory and industrial settings. For specific mixing tasks, the torque and viscosity ratings should be matched to the fluid properties and volume to ensure efficient mixing.
Which CAFRAMO mixer models are compatible with the 3/8-inch stainless steel shafts?
The 3/8-inch stainless steel shafts are compatible with CAFRAMO A-series models including A163, A164, A165, A511, A521, A531, A541, and A551. These shafts are identified by manufacturer part numbers such as A162, A712, A713, A723, and A742, each designed for specific models within the A-series. They are constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and are used in laboratory and industrial mixing applications. When selecting a shaft, verify the compatible model number and part number to ensure proper fit. These shafts are available as replacement components for existing CAFRAMO mixers.
What are the specifications of the 1/2-inch diameter overhead stirrer shaft for the CAFRAMO Model 1540?
The 1/2-inch diameter overhead stirrer shaft for the CAFRAMO Model 1540 has a length of 36 inches and features a three-blade propeller. The shaft and blade are made of stainless steel. This shaft is designed for use with the Model 1540 overhead stirrer and is suitable for mixing, blending, suspending, or homogenizing fluids. The three-blade propeller configuration aids in efficient mixing across a range of viscosities. When ordering, confirm the shaft diameter and length match the mixer's chuck and vessel dimensions. This shaft is a direct replacement or accessory for the Model 1540.
Are CAFRAMO overhead stirrer shafts available in different blade shapes?
CAFRAMO overhead stirrer shafts are available with different blade shapes, including propeller blades. For example, the 1/2-inch shaft for the Model 1540 features a three-blade propeller, while other shafts may have different blade configurations. The blade shape affects mixing characteristics such as flow pattern and shear. Propeller blades are typically used for axial flow and general mixing. When selecting a shaft, consider the mixing task, fluid viscosity, and desired flow pattern. The product specifications list blade shape and material, allowing users to choose the appropriate shaft for their application. Stainless steel is the standard material for both shaft and blade.
What voltage does the CAFRAMO high-torque overhead stirrer require?
The CAFRAMO high-torque overhead stirrer, such as the Model 1540, operates on 120V. This voltage is standard for many laboratory and industrial environments in North America. For other regions, voltage compatibility should be confirmed, and appropriate transformers or alternative models may be required. The stirrer's digital display and variable speed control are integrated into the unit. When planning installation, ensure the power supply matches the equipment's voltage requirement. 3G Electric provides product specifications including voltage to assist in selecting the correct model for your facility.
