In 1954, Hans Heidolph Sr. decided to expand outside of Germany, into North America and in 1955 the new Caframo business was opened, manufacturing and distributing laboratory stirrers in North America and Mexico.
The founders were Hans Heidolph Senior, his son Hans Heidolph Jr, and his son-in-law Doctor Rudolph Zinsser.
The company name Caframo is derived from “Canadian Fractional Motors”. All overhead stirrers are built with small motors less than a horsepower in strength.
Heavy-duty overhead stirrer features digital display of speed and torque, adjustable chuck up to 10 mm (⅜”), quiet and maintenance free. Available in three configurations: Universal 30 - 3000 rpm, Ultra Torque 12 - 1800 rpm, and Ultra Speed 40 - 6000 rpm. *Shaft, Blade and Stand Sold Separately

Caframo 316L stainless steel Lab Pitched blade propeller composed with 8 mm (⁵⁄₁₆ in) bore is compatible with all Caframo shafts. Set screws included. For low shear, high top-to-bottom pumping capacity with high gas injection.
Caframo Tangential Flow Lab Impellers are effective for low speed, high viscosity mixing. These blades have more surface area to contact the thick product being mixed. Because thicker mixtures are usually mixed more slowly a blade diameter closer to the full diameter of the vessel can be used so that the product close to the edge of the vessel is mixed. Available in both anchor and paddle styles.
