Stirring

Stirring may seem simple, but it's a key process in laboratory applications, necessary for achieving uniform distribution of liquids. Different techniques and lab instruments are used for stirring, each tailored to meet specific needs across scientific fields.

On this page, you’ll find an overview of VELP’s Mechanical Stirring equipment, including:

1. Overhead Stirrers

These powerful instruments use a motor-driven shaft to stir larger liquid volumes or high-viscosity solutions. They offer precise control over stirring speed and intensity, making them ideal for complex reactions in:

• Food & Beverage – mixing butter, mayonnaise, and more
• Chemical – for processing glycerin, lubricant oils, paints, plastics, and polymers
• Cosmetic – essential for creating lipsticks, nail polish, creams, soaps, and shampoos
• Pharmaceutical – from syrups to tablet and pill production

2. Magnetic Stirrers

Using a rotating magnetic field to spin a stir bar within a vessel, magnetic stirrers provide a broad range of mixing strengths—from gentle to vigorous. VELP’s selection includes digital, analog, multi-position, and models for both high and low volumes, suitable for tasks such as:

• Life Science Research
• Pharmaceutical and Biopharma Applications
• Nutraceutical Production
• Microbiology Testing
• Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) Analysis
• Microtitration and Biochemistry Studies

Whether you're working with high-viscosity compounds or conducting delicate biochemical analyses, VELP's stirring solutions provide the adaptability and precision that scientific work demands.
