Heating Mantle
Heating Mantle (Product Code: SLE/LHM/02) is a general-purpose mantle for heating flasks and other glassware evenly, without an open flame. The vessel rests directly on a flexible, insulated heating element anchored in glass fabric inside a rolled aluminium body, so it is warmed uniformly without substantially increasing the risk of the glass shattering. An energy regulator controls output up to 350 °C, and the mantle is offered in sizes from 50 ml to 5000 ml. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a laboratory equipment manufacturer in India supplying schools, colleges and industry here and in international markets.

Typical Use
Heating mantles are the usual heat source for simple and fractional distillation, reflux and solvent removal, especially where flammable liquids make a naked flame unwelcome. The flask nests in the glass-fabric element, which wraps heat around its lower surface rather than concentrating it at one hot spot, so the contents warm steadily and the glass is spared the thermal shock a direct flame can cause. The energy regulator sets how much power reaches the element; start low, watch the liquid, and increase in steps until the boil or reflux rate is where you want it.
Pick the mantle size that matches your flask so the glass sits in full contact with the element, never switch it on empty, and support the flask and any condenser independently with a stand and clamps. Wipe up spills only after the unit has cooled, keeping liquids out of the glass fabric. With eight capacities to choose from, a single model can cover everything from micro-scale work to large batches, which helps labs standardise their distillation apparatus in India and abroad.
Manufacturer
This mantle is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, whose trading name is ScienceLab. The company works from Ambala in Haryana, India, and describes its operations in the company profile.
Related Laboratory Equipment
Items that complete a mantle-heated distillation or reflux set-up:
- Distillation Flask — a side-arm flask for simple distillation on the mantle
- Round Bottom Flask — standard flasks in sizes that nest in the element
- Retort Stand — independent support for the flask and condenser above the mantle
- Three Prong Swivel Clamp — grips the flask neck on the stand
- Digital Heating Mantles — a PID-controlled option when set-point accuracy matters
All models are listed in the Heating Mantle category.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the temperature controlled?
By an energy regulator, with the mantle able to reach up to 350 °C.
What sizes can I order?
Capacities of 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000 and 5000 ml, with power ratings between 60 W and 600 W; the rating for each capacity is confirmed in your quotation.
Can I heat a beaker in it?
The mantle is designed for glassware vessels such as flasks resting directly on the element. For flat-bottomed beakers a hot plate is usually more practical.
Are support rods and clamps included?
They are not listed for this model. A retort stand and clamp can be quoted with the mantle.
Why use a mantle instead of a burner?
The glass-fabric element heats the flask uniformly without substantially increasing the risk of shattering, and there is no open flame near volatile liquids.
What electrical supply and warranty apply?
Supply voltage is not stated in our listing, and warranty is confirmed per quotation — contact us for both.
Is bulk and export supply available?
Yes, for laboratories and distributors in India and international markets; include capacities and quantities in your enquiry.
