Thanks.
 
I was going to attempt to make my own.  Regular stir plates cost more than I am willing to spend.
I'm thinking now it will just be easier to make a stirrer from a drill and perhaps if I scale up later I'll try to make a stir plate for mixing up methoxide.

Hello.
Once I did have this same idea but I did not find the materials and the
electric engine and the electronic control but other people have done "the
commercial way" for special purposes for laboratory equipment, you could
try a Lab equipment supplier like:

www.coleparmer.com

Cole-Parmer's 2003/2004 Cathalog, pag. 1735 a so called Super Magnetic
Stirrer for heavy-walled container with the article code A-84160-00
Magnetic Stirrer with an stir bar article code A-08552-00 Mono-Mold
measuring 2" L x 3/8 diam. maximun stirring volume is 19 Liters.
Price tag is: Stirrer $1770.00 + Stir bar $ 6.80
In the same Cole-Parmer Cathalog for economical stirrers for common
containers up to 10 gallons you will find in page 1736, for 120 Volts at
$656.00 or 230 Volts at $756.00. Stirring bars for most applications are in
page 1738-1739
These might be what you are looking for but at a price here I could buy a
small motorcycle, uff...

Regards.

Juan

Has anyone created a home made magnetic stir plate? I am scaling up from
lab scale 100 mL batches to a 5 gallon reactor, and have some ideas for a
homemade magnetic stir plate in lieu of the more typical agitation methods,
and I wanted to see if others have gone down this path with any success (or
failure).
