CB500
Hotplates, large capacity,
CB500 and SB500
These large rectangular shaped hotplates are ideal for heating many
smaller vessels simultaneously, e.g. in educational use where lots of
students require their samples heated at the same time.
An easy to use knob located on the front of the hotplate controls the
top plate temperature. The robust side arms make the unit very easy
to carry.
The large surface area may stay hot for a long time after use, so for
maximum safety, a bright red hot warning light will continue to flash
until the hotplate is cool.
There are two models to choose from:
Model CB500 has a glass ceramic top plate. It is easy to clean in the
event of spillage and, due to unique thermal properties, can be heated
to very high temperatures giving very fast heat up times.
Model SB500 has an aluminum / silicon alloy top plate. This material
has very good conductive properties so will give a very even plate
temperature. This means all samples, no matter where they are placed
on the hotplate, will be subjected to the same conditions for excellent
uniformity and reproducibility.
