Estimated delivery time: 3-5 weeks

The SM 30 B is a universal reciprocating shaker from Edmund Buhler, built for heavy loads in continuous, long-duration operation. It suits labs that need to agitate large volumes with a horizontal, linear motion on a robust bench-top instrument. Its 560 x 400 mm platform holds a maximum load of 30 kg, with a stepless speed range of 15 to 300 rpm. The standard stroke is 30 mm, with optional strokes of 46 mm or 50 mm depending on the protocol. The unit ships without a fixation rack; the Combifix SM racks and the TH 30 incubator hood are added as needed. A programmable timer from 0 to 120 minutes, or continuous operation, covers most laboratory protocols. At full load and high speed, a set of floor-fixation rings is recommended to stabilize the unit.

Edmund Buhler SM 30 B Universal Reciprocating Shaker

A universal reciprocating shaker for heavy loads

The Edmund Buhler SM 30 B is a bench-top reciprocating (horizontal) shaker, built for heavy loads in continuous, long-duration operation, with a maximum load of 30 kg.

It is the reciprocating version of the Universal SM 30 family, alongside the SM 30 A (orbital) and the SM 30 C (reversible).

Speed and stroke

Speed adjusts steplessly from 15 to 300 rpm. The standard stroke is 30 mm, with options of 46 mm (0052 212) or 50 mm (0052 216) depending on the protocol.

Platform and load capacity

The 560 x 400 mm platform holds a maximum load of 30 kg. The unit ships without a fixation rack, to be selected separately based on vessel format.

42 Erlenmeyer flasks of 100 ml, or 20 flasks of 250-300 ml
6 separating funnels of 250 ml, or 2 of 1000 ml
4 test tube racks

Rack and fixation accessories

The Combifix SM A, B, or C racks, the SM universal tray, and the 2-tier top frame allow the fixation to be matched to the protocol.

At full load and high speed, Edmund Buhler recommends fixing the unit to the floor or table with 4 PVC rings (0002 754).

Combining with the TH 30 incubator hood

The SM 30 B can take the TH 30 incubator hood, which turns the shaker into a combined shaking and temperature-controlled station, up to 50°C.

Ideal Applications

The Edmund Buhler SM 30 B suits the following applications.

Linear mixing at high load, continuous or long duration
Heavy loads up to 30 kg
Protocols requiring an extended stroke (46 or 50 mm)
General chemistry and biology laboratories
Combining with an incubator hood for temperature-controlled use

Choose the SM 30 B when:

You need to shake heavy loads, up to 30 kg
A linear horizontal motion suits your protocol better
You need an extended stroke (46 or 50 mm as an option)
You want to select the rack that fits your vessels separately
You are considering adding a TH 30 incubator hood

Buhler Value Proposition

The SM 30 B combines a 30 kg platform, a modular stroke, and compatibility with the TH 30 incubator hood, for a robust everyday reciprocating shaker.

Edmund Buhler has manufactured laboratory shakers in Germany since 1880 and remains a family-owned company.
