Harry Gestigkeit Electrical Sand Baths, with Variable Temperature Control

![]() |
Electrical sand baths are designed to maintain a consistent temperature and are often used for heating containers such as test tubes or flasks in laboratories. The sand serves as an excellent medium for even heat distribution, providing indirect and gentle heating that is ideal for experiments requiring careful temperature control.
Electric sandbaths with infinitely variable temperature control with or without thermostatic control in robust design for continuous operation.
The sandbaths consist of an aluminium alloy hotplate with a screwed-on, sealed stainless steel frame with a usable height of 50 mm. Filling in quartz sand allows vessels with uneven bottoms to be heated. In case of glass breakage, the liquid is absorbed by the sand. The sand lies directly on the hotplate to prevent unnecessary heat loss.
Due to the long-term asymmetric heating system (plate corners and edges are more heated), a very uniform temperature distribution is achieved over the entire heating surface. The housing parts are made of stainless steel; the middle part is also coated. The four housing feet are slightly adjustable in height. The approx. 1.7m long connection cable is supplied with 230V to 3300W with Schuko plug.

Robust - durable even in continuous operation
The sandbaths of type SD are equipped with a continuously adjustable power controller. The heating power is specified directly in % of the connected load.
