iF Design Award for heated circulating bath HBC 5
Ergonomic and Well Thought-Out Design
(firmenpresse) - Staufen, 03/02/2015 — The new IKA® HBC 5 heated circulating bath has
won the 2015 iF Design Award in the "product design" category. The panel
of judges, made up of experts from around the world, awarded its coveted
seal of approval to winners selected from almost 5000 entries submitted
from 53 countries.
The panel was impressed with the ergonomic design of the HBC 5, which
improves safety when using the temperature control instrument. Recessed
molded handles and a transport handle ensure that the device is easy to
transport, while the intuitive menu navigation and ergonomic push buttons
as well as rotary knobs make the HBC 5 easy to operate. It meets the
most stringent safety standards, just like all IKA® temperature control instruments:
the device has safety classification III (FL) for use with flammable
liquids, in accordance with DIN 12876.
The HBC 5 is the first heated circulating bath to feature a removable wireless
controller (WiCo). The WiCo allows the user to check and control all
key parameters from distances of up to ten meters (3 feet).
The heated circulating baths are available in two sizes, the HBC 5 (5-7 liters)
and HBC 10 (8-13 liters), each of which is available in
"basic" and "control" versions. Even the basic version offers more features
than most temperature control instruments of similar design — including the
infinitely adjustable pressure and suction pump as well as the option to
connect external temperature sensors. The control versions additionally
offer ten program slots where one can store individual temperature ramps
for automated processes. These models achieve higher levels of temperature
consistency and are equipped with pumps that are more powerful than
the basic versions. The control models can also reach higher maximum
temperatures.
The functional and aesthetic design of IKA® products is the result of ongoing
attention to technology and work flow processes. Numerous awards
attest to the company''s claim of developing exceptional technology, highquality
products and functional designs — as is the case with the disposable
milling system Tube Mill control and the LR 1000 laboratory reactor;
both have been awarded with the Red Dot Design Award in 2013. In addition,
the LR 1000 laboratory reactor received a "Special mention for exceptional
design quality" from the German Design Council in the 2015
award competition.
The iF Design Award, founded over 60 years ago, is recognized worldwide
as a leading award for exceptional design. The annual competition is organized
by iF International Forum Design GmbH.
