Digital Temperature Control Heating Mantle

The JOANLAB HMC is a digital heating mantle that controls the temperature of the liquid in your flask, from room temperature up to 300°C. A temperature probe sits in the liquid and the display shows its actual temperature. Choose the size that matches your flask, from 250ml to 5,000ml.

To set it, press S (the Set light comes on), use the arrow keys to choose the temperature, then press S again to show the actual temperature. The red light shows when it's heating. The first time it reaches the set point it may run a few degrees over before it settles.

The heater is nickel-chrome resistance wire sealed in a high-temperature glass fibre insulation layer and woven into a hemispherical heater. It heats a large area quickly and evenly, with no open flame. The body is spray-coated cold-rolled steel sheet.

The probe is sensitive to aggressive acids. When heating acids, put the probe in a thermometer pocket, or measure with an infrared or glass thermometer instead.

On first use the insulation gives off white smoke as its grease coating burns off. Let it run until the smoke stops before you heat a sample. Always pour the liquid into the flask before placing the flask in the mantle.

Not for use with flammable, explosive, poisonous or strongly corrosive materials. Replacement probes: JOANLAB heating mantle probe.
