Heating Plates

JP Selecta laboratory heating plates

JP Selecta laboratory heating plates and mantles provide uniform heating surfaces for evaporation, acid digestion, sample drying and temperature holding of laboratory vessels.

Our models include plain heating plates, plates with integrated magnetic stirring and multi-position systems for parallel sample processing.

All units integrate ceramic glass or non-deformable steel surfaces, energy controls or digital thermostats and safety indicators, and are compatible with data-logging software for GMP compliance.

Our heating plate range

Our instrumental heating line delivers robust thermal solutions engineered to process samples under absolute uniformity, covering an operating range from gentle thermal stabilisation up to extreme surface temperatures of 400 °C.

Heating plates without stirring

Circular plates — single and double: The conventional circular model features a non-deformable steel heating plate of 15 or 19 cm diameter with surrounding resistors and a 6-power selector. The double Duplac version operates up to 400 °C with independent pulse-energy regulation per station. The Combiplac 20 cm circular model includes electronic energy regulation from 0 to 100 % and rear connector for digital thermometers.

Ceramic-glass plates Ceramic-Plac: Designed for intensive use, these units feature an AISI 304 stainless steel outer cabinet and a smooth surface unaltered by thermal shock and corrosive chemical agents. They withstand massive loads of up to 40 kg.

Rectangular plates Combiplac, Plactronic and Placfin: The Combiplac rectangular series offers powers up to 2800 W with electronic energy regulation from 0 to 100 %. For high-fidelity thermal tests (not suitable for boiling), the Plactronic series regulates from ambient +5 °C to 200 °C with ±0.5 °C stability through digital microprocessor, Pt100 probe and duraluminium surface coated with PTFE. The rectangular Placfin serves as a specialised thermal dryer up to 130 °C and accepts an accessory stainless steel tray with capacity for 18 slides.

Beyond laboratory heating plates, JP Selecta also offers specialised heating systems such as enveloping heating mantles, flexible heating tapes and heating cords for specific localised-heating applications.

JP Selecta heating technology

The thermal precision and operational safety of JP Selecta heating plates rest on three in-house manufacturing technologies. High-end models integrate Pt100 probes that read the real fluid temperature in real time, eliminating the setpoint error caused by thermal inertia.

The Ceramic-Plac family's glass-ceramic surfaces reach operating temperature limits in reduced times thanks to their infrared permeability and absolute thermal-shock resistance.

All under the EN 61010 standard, with over-temperature limiters, automatic thermostat protectors and, on the Fibroman mantles, a braided earth mesh that disperses any electrical leakage in case of breakage or spillage.

Why choose JP Selecta heating plates?

Selecting JP Selecta heating equipment means integrating decades of European engineering experience into your facility's routines.

Integral safety earth in the heating mesh

JP Selecta flask heating mantles incorporate a safety earth distributed uniformly across the entire interior surface of the mineral-wool mesh. This ensures that, if a flask with acidic or conductive reagents breaks, the current is instantly diverted to earth before reaching the liquid or the operator, eliminating the risk of critical electric shocks in the laboratory.

Heating elements with pure-nickel terminals

Our heating filaments are connected via internal pure-nickel terminals protected by insulating mineral-fibre tubing. The use of pure nickel completely prevents the flaking, galvanic oxidation and chemical-molecular degradation that common connections suffer at high temperatures (up to 400 °C), extraordinarily extending the heating element's service life.

Robust construction in duraluminium and stainless steel

We design our plate and mantle structures combining dur-aluminium cabinets with high-corrosion-resistant epoxy coating, plus tops and insulating separators strictly made in AISI 304 stainless steel. This ensures high structural mechanical robustness that tolerates spills and aggressive vapour atmospheres without suffering deformation or loss of electrical insulation.
