The Orbital Incubator Shaker is a crucial piece of equipment for laboratories involved in microbiology, biochemistry, and molecular research. With over two decades of experience, we have perfected the manufacturing of Orbital Incubator Shakers that meet the high standards required by researchers and clinicians. Our products are widely recognized for their reliability and durability, serving various institutions, including hospitals and research labs, across India and globally.
Durable Construction for Consistent Performance
Our Orbital Incubator Shakers are built with a double-walled structure that ensures both efficient thermal insulation and long-lasting durability. The outer body is made from robust PCRC sheets, finished with a corrosion-resistant powder coating. Inside, the chamber is constructed from heavy-gauge SS-304 grade stainless steel, known for its resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for maintaining sterile conditions.
The space between the inner and outer walls is filled with high-grade mineral glass wool, an excellent insulator that helps maintain a stable temperature within the chamber. This design minimizes heat loss, ensuring that the internal environment remains consistent, a critical factor for replicating experimental conditions. The thermal efficiency of our shakers also contributes to reduced energy consumption, making them both effective and economical.
Practical and User-Friendly Design
Each unit features a dual-door system that enhances both security and ease of use. The inner door, made from thick plexiglass or float glass, allows users to monitor specimens without opening the chamber, thus preserving the internal temperature. This door includes a magnetic closer to ensure a secure seal, preventing contamination and maintaining the set temperature. The outer door is constructed from a mild steel sheet with a stainless steel lining, adding an extra layer of protection. It is also equipped with a lock-and-key system for secure access.
The incubator shakers are designed for easy mobility within the lab, with a sturdy steel frame and castor wheels, allowing researchers to move the unit as needed without difficulty. Inside the chamber, there are adjustable stainless steel shelves—two or three depending on the model—providing flexible space to accommodate various labware, including flasks and petri dishes.
Consistent Temperature Control and Distribution
Temperature uniformity is crucial in any incubator shaker, and our design addresses this with a triple-walled back panel equipped with two air circulation fans. These fans ensure even temperature distribution throughout the chamber, preventing any variations that could affect experimental outcomes.
Our heating system uses air heaters made from durable Kanthal A-1 wires, which are known for their longevity and efficiency. These heaters provide consistent heat that is evenly distributed by the fans, ensuring precise temperature control. This setup not only guarantees excellent temperature accuracy but also prolongs the life of the heating elements, reducing the need for maintenance.
For cooling, our incubators are equipped with energy-efficient, CFC-free compressors from trusted brands like Kirloskar and Tecumseh. These compressors meet international standards, ensuring that our incubators are both environmentally friendly and effective in maintaining lower temperatures for specific research needs.
Efficient Shaking Mechanism
The shaking mechanism of our Orbital Incubator Shaker is designed for reliability and precision. It features an orbital shaking motion powered by a heavy-duty DC motor, ideal for gently but thoroughly mixing liquids in various containers.
Our incubators offer variable shaking speeds, ranging from 20 RPM to 225 RPM, allowing for a wide range of applications from gentle agitation to more vigorous shaking. The speed is controlled by a DC drive, which is managed through an integrated speed controller with an RPM indicator, providing researchers with precise control over the shaking process.
Advanced Digital Controls
The user-friendly front panel includes controls for both the heating and cooling systems, along with indicator lamps for easy monitoring. Temperature control is managed by a microprocessor-based digital controller, ensuring accuracy within ±0.1°C. The temperature uniformity across the chamber is maintained within ±0.5°C, thanks to the efficient insulation, air circulation, and heating/cooling systems.
The digital controller also features an LED display, providing clear and easy-to-read information about the current settings, allowing researchers to quickly set and adjust conditions as needed for their experiments.
Versatility and Customization
Our Orbital Incubator Shakers are designed to be versatile, catering to a variety of research needs. We offer different models with varying flask capacities, accommodating everything from 16 flasks of 250 ml to 25 flasks of 500 ml. Additionally, we provide optional features such as a 0-24 hour timer for day/night cycles, available for an additional cost.
Customization options are available for the unit size, allowing us to tailor the dimensions to meet the specific requirements of your laboratory, ensuring that you have the exact setup needed for your research.
