About SS PTFE Line Sterrer Lab
It sounds like you are referring to a stirrer used in a laboratory setting, with components involving Stainless Steel (SS) and PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene). Here's a breakdown of what this typically means:
1. Stirrer
A stirrer in a laboratory is a device used to mix or agitate substances, usually liquids or solutions. Common types include:
- Magnetic Stirrers: Use a rotating magnetic field to stir a liquid.
- Mechanical Stirrers: Use a rotating blade or paddle to mix substances.
2. Stainless Steel (SS)
Stainless steel is often used in laboratory equipment due to its:
- Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel is resistant to many chemicals, which is important in a lab setting.
- Durability: It is strong and can withstand high temperatures and physical stress.
- Ease of Cleaning: It is easy to sterilize and clean, which is essential for maintaining lab hygiene.
3. PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
PTFE is used in lab equipment because of its:
- Chemical Resistance: PTFE is highly resistant to corrosive chemicals and solvents.
- Non-Stick Properties: It reduces friction and prevents substances from sticking to surfaces.
- Low Friction: It helps in smooth operation and reduces wear and tear.
Combining SS and PTFE in a Stirrer
In a lab stirrer, combining SS and PTFE typically involves:
- SS Components: These might include the structural parts of the stirrer such as the shaft or housing. SS provides strength and durability.
- PTFE Components: These could include parts in direct contact with the substances being stirred, such as the stirring blade, impeller, or lining. PTFE ensures that the substances do not react with the stirrer and are not contaminated by the stirrer material.
Applications
Such a stirrer would be used in applications where:
- Chemical Reactions: The stirring process needs to be done with materials that are resistant to corrosion or chemical reactions.
- Precise Mixing: High precision and cleanliness are required, such as in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, or research labs.
- High Temperature or Aggressive Chemicals: PTFEs ability to withstand harsh conditions makes it suitable for such environments.
Example
- PTFE-Lined Stirring Blade: A stirring blade made from stainless steel but coated or lined with PTFE to handle aggressive chemicals without corrosion or contamination.
- SS Shaft with PTFE Seal: The stirrer shaft could be made of stainless steel for strength, with PTFE seals to prevent leakage of the substances being stirred.

FAQ's of SS PTFE Line Sterrer Lab:
Q: How do I select the appropriate shaft diameter and length for my laboratory process?
A: Choose the shaft diameter (6 mm to 25 mm) and length (300 mm to 800 mm) based on your vessel size, type of media, and specific mixing requirements. Custom options are available to ensure compatibility with your laboratory setup.
Q: What types of chemicals and solutions can the SS PTFE Line Stirrer handle?
A: This stirrer is suitable for a broad range of aggressive and corrosive liquids, including acids, solvents, and chemical reagents, owing to its high corrosion resistance and PTFE-coated components.
Q: When should I use the manual versus the motorized stirring option?
A: The manual model is ideal for smaller volumes and applications where silent operation is important. Opt for the motorized version in processes requiring variable speed control (up to 1200 rpm) and consistent mixing of larger or more viscous batches.
Q: Where can the SS PTFE Line Stirrer Lab be installed?
A: It is designed to fit most standard laboratory vessels and reactors, making it suitable for use in chemical laboratories, pilot plants, and research facilities handling corrosive processes.
Q: What is the maintenance process for this laboratory stirrer?
A: Maintenance is simple, thanks to the non-stick PTFE coating and easy-to-clean surfaces. Routine cleaning with water or compatible solutions suffices, preventing chemical buildup and ensuring prolonged operational life.
Q: How does the PTFE gland sealing benefit my application?
A: PTFE gland sealing provides superior protection against leaks and chemical ingress, making it safe for use with hazardous or reactive chemicals while maintaining a clean laboratory environment.
Q: What are the key benefits of using a SS PTFE Line Stirrer Lab in my chemical applications?
A: Key benefits include high chemical resistance, adjustable stirring speed, compatibility with a wide range of vessels, customizable features, low maintenance, and reliable silent or low-noise operation, ensuring efficient, consistent mixing of corrosive solutions.
