PM-451 FLASK HEATING MANTLE

A heating mantle is a piece of laboratory equipment used to apply even heat to round-bottom flasks and other glassware without the risk of shattering that comes from open flames or direct hot spots.

• Construction: Heating Mantle Panel is provided with an on-off switch, an energy control knob with a pilot lamp. consists of an insulated fabric or ceramic jacket—often knitted from
glass fiber yarn—with built-in electrical resistance wires that cradle the shape of a flask.
• Function: Electric current passes through the internal wires to generate controlled, uniform heat distribution across the lower surface of the vessel.
• Control: Temperatures are adjusted using an analog energy regulator or a digital control panel .
• Body : Made of powder coated rust free ,sturdy mild steel with feet.

Advantages
• Safe: As operating without an open flame makes it ideal for heating flammable and volatile organic liquids.
• Glass Protection: Direct contact with the insulated surface prevents extreme temperature gradients, lowering the risk of thermal shock and glassware breakage.
• Safety: A single circuit system has been adopted and a proper electric wiring in this mantle makes it sure that no short circuit takes place so safe and easy to operate for
students.
• Clean Operation: Unlike water or oil baths, it leaves no messy liquid residue on the exterior of the flask.

Applications

• Fractional Distillation and simple distillations in Laboratories.
• Chemical synthesis and refluxing.
• Boiling sensitive organic solvents or high-boiling liquids
• Suitable for laboratories, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, Dyes, Glass plants etc.
