Performance features and technology for professional applications

The ROTO SILENTA 630 RS impresses with its robust construction and practical features, which are consistently tailored to the high demands of everyday laboratory work.

Key technical features at a glance:

• Maximum capacity: 6 x 2000 ml in swing-out rotor or various blood bag systems (90°)
• Max. speed: 6000 rpm
• Maximum RCF: 6520 xg
• Infinitely variable cooling: -20 °C to +40 °C
• Dimensions (H x W x D): 973 x 813 x 1,015 mm
• Power consumption: 9,700 VA, 400 V, 50/60 Hz
• Weight: approx. 355 kg

Additional details: This benchtop centrifuge is equipped with a modern microprocessor control system for precise management of the separation processes. The operating time can be selected freely from 1 second to 99 minutes and 59 seconds or in continuous mode. Thanks to the intuitive user interface, up to 98 different programmes can be individually customised and saved - a considerable advantage for recurring routine tasks. The swing-out rotor, designed for large-volume samples, allows flexible use with up to six 2000 ml bottles or typical blood bag systems, making it particularly attractive for blood banks and large laboratories.

The continuously adjustable cooling between -20 and +40 °C ensures temperature-critical sample processes and prevents protein degradation or denaturation of sensitive substances during centrifugation. In addition, an efficient ventilation system provides overheating protection and increased service life for all components.

Special features and safety features

Consistent compliance with international standards and a comprehensive safety concept are outstanding features:

• Medical device in accordance with Directive 93/42/EEC
• Interference emission, interference immunity: EN/IEC 61326-1, Class B (laboratory and medical technology standard)
• Electronic lid lock and acoustic alarm for maximum user safety
• Clear error code and service display for quick troubleshooting

An optional barcode scanner and various rotor variants offer additional flexibility in professional environments.
