MODULAR STIRRING MECHANISM

A modular stirrer having a drive unit, a stirrer unit, and a magnetic coupling. The magnetic coupling is arranged between the drive unit and the stirrer unit and has a cylindrical cavity, drive magnets as well as stirrer unit magnets, and the drive magnets are connected to the drive unit and the stirrer unit magnets are connected to the stirrer unit and arranged radially about the cavity. The cavity is open at the opposite end in the opened state of the magnetic coupling, and the drive magnets may be inserted into the cavity of the magnetic coupling for closing the magnetic coupling for coupling of drive unit and stirrer unit and may be arranged in a plane one with the stirrer unit magnets. The magnetic coupling has a quick-release closure, which closes the cavity upon closing the magnetic coupling and creates a connection of drive unit and stirrer unit.
