Huber Ministat CC-3 Recirculating Chiller
The Huber Ministat CC-3 is a compact, high-performance circulating thermostat designed for precise heating and cooling in laboratory and pilot-scale environments. Known for its stability, efficiency, and reliability, this system maintains exact temperature control across a wide range, making it ideal for sensitive applications such as photometers, viscometers, distillation setups, and reaction vessels. Its small footprint allows easy placement in space-limited areas, including fume cupboards and benchtop installations.
At HiTechTrader, we supply pre-owned and refurbished Huber Ministat CC-3 units that combine advanced control technology with affordability. Each system is carefully tested and validated to ensure dependable performance, giving laboratories, research institutions, and small industrial setups access to high-quality thermal control without the cost of buying new. This makes the CC-3 a smart choice for facilities that demand precision and consistency in temperature regulation.
