   BOLA Stirrer Shafts
What you should know about BOLA Stirrer Shafts
BOLA Stirrer Shafts consist of a PTFE-jacketed stainless steel shaft and a stirrer blade made of solid PTFE. The stainless steel core provides high mechanical stability and allows a safe fixing in the agitator.
Unbreakable
All glass stirrer shafts which are commonly used in laboratories are very fragile. Dropping, stirring solid materials or too much power transmitted from the agitator to the product can cause broken glass. Due to their solid stainless steel core, BOLA Stirrer Shafts are protected against all these possibilities of breaking.
Universal chemical resistance
Due to the thick PTFE-jacket, the product which is stirred is only exposed to PTFE. This assures an almost universal chemical resistance. PTFE-jacketed stirrer shafts can be used whenever stirrer shafts made of PP (polypropylene), glass or stainless steel are not sufficient.
Temperature resistance
Stirrer shafts made of PP (polypropylene) are deformed at temperatures exceeding +100°C and cannot be used any longer. All BOLA PTFE-jacke- ted stirrer shafts can be used at temperatures of up to +250°C without any negative effects on their chemical resistance.
Non-adhesive
The surfaces of glass and stainless steel stirrer shafts allow adhesion of products (in particular such as dyes and glues). BOLA PTFE Stirrer Shafts, however, are non-adhesive and therefore eliminate adhesion of dyes and glues.
Interchangeability
At present, most stirrer shafts used in laboratories are made of glass. All BOLA Stirrer Shafts are available with the same diameters, lengths and surface qualities (KPG) as stirrer shafts made of glass. Thus, the user can easily replace the glass stirrer shaft with a PTFE-jacketed stirrer shaft and does not have to change agitators, couplings and guiding devices.
Safe fixing
The upper end of the BOLA Stirrer Shaft is not jacketed with PTFE and can there- fore be fixed safely into the agitator or the stirrer coupling.
Solid stirrer blade
The stirrer blade is fixed tightly to the stirrer shaft and cannot be loosened by the product which is still turning after switching off the agitator. The stirrer shafts are suitable for clockwise and counterclockwise rotation.
