Ohaus SHHD6850DG Large Orbit Heavy Duty Orbital Shaker
€6.940,00 excl. VAT
The SHHD6850DG is a digital heavy duty orbital shaker from Ohaus, combining the widest weight capacity in the range with a large 51 mm orbit. It suits labs culturing the largest volumes or applications that need the strongest mass transfer the Heavy Duty family offers. Its speed range of 15 to 300 rpm is lower than the mid-orbit models, reflecting the more vigorous motion of the larger orbit at a given rpm. The weight capacity runs from 68 kg at 125 rpm down to 18 kg at 300 rpm, matching the largest capacity documented across the family. The Accu-Drive shaking system and a load sensor detect unbalanced loads and automatically reduce speed to protect the sample. An RS232 interface and user speed calibration support integration into a documented, quality-controlled workflow. Its 610 x 910 mm tray is the largest in the family, sized for high-throughput processing of many vessels at once.
Ohaus SHHD6850DG Large Orbit Heavy Duty Orbital Shaker
The largest orbit paired with the widest capacity
The Ohaus SHHD6850DG combines the 51 mm large orbit with the 68 kg maximum weight capacity, making it the model built for the most demanding mixing and aeration needs in the Heavy Duty range.
This pairing suits the largest culture volumes or applications needing the strongest mass transfer the family offers, typically run at a correspondingly lower rpm.
Accu-Drive shaking system and triple eccentric drive
The Accu-Drive shaking system delivers speed control, accuracy, and durability, paired with a brushless DC motor and triple eccentric drive that keeps the tray flat through the entire speed range.
Speed accuracy is within 1% of the set speed above 100 rpm, and within 1 rpm below 100 rpm.
Load sensing and overload protection
An integrated load sensor detects unbalanced or excess-load conditions and automatically reduces speed to protect the sample, backed by overload protection and an audible alarm.
- Weight capacity of 68 kg at 125 rpm, scaling down to 18 kg at 300 rpm
- Timer adjustable from 1 second to 160 hours
- Working environment of -10°C to 60°C, 80% RH, non-condensing
RS232 interface and user calibration
The built-in RS232 interface and user speed calibration support integration into documented, quality-controlled workflows where reproducibility needs to be demonstrated.
Included tray and the wider accessory ecosystem
The SHHD6850DG ships with a built-in tray (610 x 910 mm), the largest in the family, and a non-slip rubber mat, ready to accept flask clamps, test tube racks, and the largest platforms from the shared Ohaus accessory ecosystem.
Ideal Applications
The Ohaus SHHD6850DG suits the following applications.
- The largest-volume culture work needing maximum aeration
- Applications requiring the strongest mixing in the Heavy Duty range
- The highest-volume bulk or high-throughput flask shaking
- Bacteria and yeast culture work at maximum volumes
- Labs needing RS232 connectivity or user calibration
Choose the SHHD6850DG when:
- You need both the widest capacity (68 kg) and the largest orbit (51 mm)
- Your application needs the strongest mixing or aeration in the range
- A lower speed range (15-300 rpm) fits your protocol
- Load sensing and overload protection matter for your samples
- You want RS232 connectivity or user speed calibration
Ohaus Value Proposition
The SHHD6850DG combines the widest capacity and the largest orbit in the Heavy Duty range with the Accu-Drive system and RS232 connectivity, for the most demanding mixing jobs in the family.
Ohaus backs the Heavy Duty range with a wide accessory ecosystem and global service network.
