Suitability of AMTAST Magnetic Stirrer for Mixing 600g Cream

Question

Can the AMTAST BASIC magnetic stirrer (Max stirring quantity (H2O) 20L, Motor rating output 10W) be used to mix 600g of typical viscosity cream?

Answer

Based on the technical data and the previous comment, the AMTAST BASIC magnetic stirrer is likely not suitable for mixing 600g of typical viscosity cream.

Here's why:

  • The Max stirring quantity (H2O) 20L refers to low-viscosity liquids like water. Magnetic stirrers are much less effective with viscous materials like cream.
  • The Motor rating output of 10W is relatively low for mixing 600g of a viscous substance.
  • As noted in the previous comment, magnetic stirrers rely on magnetic coupling, which can easily break when stirring high-viscosity materials, limiting the effective volume significantly.

For mixing 600g of typical viscosity cream, a different type of mixer, such as a mechanical overhead stirrer designed for viscous materials, would generally be more appropriate.
