Reactor-Ready Pilot Lab Reactor
Replace multiple reactor set-ups with a single, universal pilot scale system – 5 to 35 litres
Why choose Reactor-Ready Pilot?
Replace multiple reactor set-ups with a single, universal pilot scale system with interchangeable vessels that can be swapped in minutes NOT hours.
Flexible
Range of single jacketed vessels from 5 litres to 35 litres. Range of vacuum jacketed vessels from 5 litres to 10 litres. Choose from two precision ground lids with DN200 vessel flange.
Interchangeable
Rapid vessel exchange with quick-release vessel clamp and wide bore hose couplings. Accepts all leading brands of overhead stirrer and allows easy, tool-free adjustment.
Universal
Compact stainless steel framework accepts all vessel sizes. Vessels have 1.25 to 1 ratio of internal height to diameter to mimic plant scale reactors.
Simple
Self-aligning stirrer coupling engages without the need for tools. Innovative hose manifolds allow easy thermofluid drain down.
