The New Ministat Family – proves that size is no guarantee of power

Pound for pound, the Ministat range is more powerful then any other thermostat in the world. Comfortable in all locations, it has proved especially useful when space is restricted such as fume cabinets or crowded benches.

Robustness:

  • The case and base of the Ministats are completely manufactured from stainless steel.

Choice of controller:

  • The controller available in 3 versions in the same way as the Polystat controllers. (Please see "Controller options" inset opposite).

Application flexibility:

  • There is an adjustable pump fitted: maximum pressure 18 l/min / 0,6 bar. Maximum suction 12 l/min / 0,3 bar
  • User fitted "Displacement Insert" reduces bath volume and directs power to the external application (Option)
  • User fitted "Calibration Insert" improves control stability to better than 0,01 K (DIN 12876) allows for laboratory based calibrations (Option).

The case and bath are pressed from the same sheet of stainless steel. This eliminates the need for a gasket between the bath and the frame.

Thermal transfer from the bath to the outer casing is prevented by an innovative thermal control system that prevents build up of condensation around the bath opening when running cold and from heating up during high temperature operation.

We have extend the original range of two popular laboratory workhorses to a family of five. The ministat and unistat cc have been joined by ministat cc125, 230 and 240.

Three levels of interchangeable controllers offer the end-user a choice of features best suited to the demands of the application through Huber’s familiar "Plug and Play" technology. The controllers are microprocessor based and have all of the features that are expected but we would like to concentrate on what the new Ministats with cc controllers have that brings a unique dimension of flexibility and functionality to your laboratory. 3 years warranty (on registration by visiting huber online).
